@Empor ! Whatever it takes its the mentality to achieve ur goal at at the cost of everything but only a true bodybuilder can understand this not a common man
Another former steroid user told me the same thing Rich said but in a different way. I was told “there are no free meals in life, eventually you have to pay the bill!” R.I.P.
The “bill” means you can’t use steroids without consequences. If you use steroids long term there is a very good chance you will die and an almost certain chance that you will get very sick and destroy your body if you live. A personal friend of mine just died three weeks ago from a heart attack at 43 years old from steroid abuse.
J.m.Robertsen. Some people just grace the world briefly,however they leave a powerful message. Rich himself and others, such as john Lennon and bruce lee come to mind.
@@reddragon4482 Its actually really really good advise.. He didnt know back then what he injected and stuff. Therefore he's trying to teach other people especially the younger generation the dangers of these drugs. Rich genuinly cared for the others even though he made some bad decisions regarding his own health. You have to look from multiple perspectives, if these guys never went public with this even more people would get harmed by this.
@@la-li-lu-le-lo9444 yeah if you look more into his videos hes literally saying that hopefully people learn from his mistakes. If anything he was a very nice guy with alot of knowledge.
I started weight training in April. And started to follow the lives of all these body builders in the past few months. Obviously Arnold, Dorian, Ronnie, jay cutler and more. I’ve been watching Rich’s content for a few months now and I agree. I never followed his life until recently. Although he lived the way he did he was honest about it and that’s respect on huge levels. He was an interesting man for sure
Such a waste, a smart good looking dude who should still be on the earth. Life is a gift and meanwhile when it comes down to brass tax he was just a man walking full of poison. I say its not even close to worth it.
He had so much hate comments before his death, and now after he died the comments are full of love.. funny ppl we are, i hope this teaches us something
Human being are a fucked species. People want to help you when you are at your lowest. They are all sympathetic and loving. When you are going well they despise you and won't help you go further. Why can't people just be happy for others? Of course within reason.
@@fruticetum Disagree. Steroids are fine if you acknowledge the risk of using them. Like drinking or smoking or anything else. At least steroids is to benefit your love of exercise and bodybuilding rather than being a fat out of shape loser like most people who die from heart disease, diabetes and health issues related to weight. The dude was wrong in saying let it be legal in professional sports but not wrong in acknowledging the effects both negative and positive. Also he couldn't quit using at this stage. He would lose his brands, sponsors, company, lifestyle, image, and most importantly his health cause he would have zero testosterone his he didn't take steroids. Steroids is healthy for men in their 40's and 50's who's bodies don't naturally produce those hormones anymore, and can keep them sexually active, healthier, stronger, and better looking. Kinda can help keep your 30's and 40's for an extra 5 years.
@@jonathananderson7990 steroids is not healthy for ANYONE. Doesn't matter what age you are. Acknowledging the risk only helps so much - you're still putting your body through hormonal hell at the end of the day. Do it THE NATURAL WAY. Keep that junk out of your body - please.
@@fruticetum He did denounce them. He told literally everyone to not take them. Multiple videos out there where he’s saying if you have the choice to stay natural or take gear, stay natural. Only if you want to be a pro bodybuilder he said you’ll probably need to make that decision. And as far as him taking them himself, your theory is beyond fcking stupid. He wasn’t hurting anyone by taking them himself. You can’t live your entire life thinking “I better do everything right in case someone else’s kid is watching me.” It’s a personal choice and it’s how he wanted to live his life. He gave his two cents on how he thought others shouldn’t follow his path. If they don’t listen, it’s on them.
Had the pleasure of meeting this guy. I'm not a small guy at 20 stone. But seeing this guy in person. His arms are just something you will never forget. Great guy too. Rip brother 🙏
Watching this now that he's gone means so much. Its like he's talking about himself and giving that last warning before he goes. Don't do as I did kids. RIP
Rob Thedon u guys are the same people who say Jason Blaha is honest. This dude is the most pretentious dude online. Fake plates, collagen, hair transplant, and make up. Just bc he gives his opinion with no filter doesn't make him honest.
Rob Thedon you dont get to rich's size by using fake weights buddy. jealousy shouldn't make you bitter, use it as fuel to improve not to be a little bitch
You know, I know Rich gets a lot of hate and has a lot of jokes based around him, but I really respect how honest he is and just his outlook on the whole thing. I will definitely be seeing this movie 😎💪🏻
Throughout all the hate that is thrown at this guy, I cannot help but respect him for his honesty, he just says it as it is no bullshit, he's honest about his usage.. you don't get that nowadays, every bodybuilder claims he's natty to keep his sponsors or whatever... this guys is straight up different!, i'm completely against steroids and all that shit but I still respect Rich Piana,
I understand that, never claimed he IS a bodybuilder, however he is widely recognized in the bodybuilding industry... therefore he is able to influence many upcoming BODYBUILDERS...

The trend these days is to enhance your image with every possible way in every possible sector. Your physique, your social media status, your relationship and working status, its all about titles. Wasting all that time forging your image means there is no time for you to be a better version of yourself spiritually. Your life becomes your prison and you don't realise it until it's too late.
RIP man. Like he said,"everything equals out eventually" thats what exactly happened. In this particular interview he really went hard on educating the truth. Brutally honest guy
Even though he is dead and gone, and the drugs that he took for decades are most likely what contributed to his death.... If you brought him back to life and gave him a do-over, he wouldn't change a thing. He lived his life the way he wanted, and he paid the ultimate price. Almost have to respect that.
@@Sambigs9112 Very hard to say, even though he has said in other interviews he wishes he didnt put himself in a position to have to take roids, he was so determined that he probably would have done it the exact same way and to be fair he lived close to 50 years of a decent life, especially after he broke through in bodybuilding
there will never be anyone like Rich , so open , so careless , so educative , i miss this man and am so happy he still has a youtube legacy for us to keep him alive
Omgggggg this is such an annoying ass comment. He literally pumped his muscles full of pmma liquid glass gel and wasn’t honest about it. It’s literally why his muscles are massive. He was super dishonest.
He's a cautionary tale and everything he said was generally accurate. For a non science type, does a good job of explaining what's happening on a cellular level. Note, he didn't touch on the long list of recreational drugs he and others commonly use, but still a very honest discussion from him. He seemed like a good guy with a lot of demons.
He was dead wrong about legalising steroid use though... I can follow his train of thought there but I think he's misguided. Normalising steroid use even more would not be a good thing
It sucks that he is gone. The dude had a great outlook and was the first bodybuilder that I know of to use social media as a benefit. Take care of yourselves everyone. Rip Big Rich.
I just want to say how amazing this man is. His opinions and thoughts on this difficult topic are better than anyone else i've ever listened to. What a privelage to listen to this guy. RIP.
Please kids, young men that just watched this video. Don't do this to your body, do not be the one that blows your heart out at 27 years old just to look a certain way. Train hard, love the gym, but respect your bodies and know that you will have a different mind set at 30 then you did at 20, or even 40 than you did at 30. You can blast me all you want, but if one person stays off this stuff, GOOD deal.
Tyler Anderson did you not see how he ate and all the shit he used he was digging his own grave but atleast he lived like he wanted and he did whatever it took R.I.P
I feel I relate to rich not in the fact that I'm huge or anything but I love how open and honest he is about shit. He's probably helping save lives by educating young people
Glen Haywood a lot of people who come at people with the Judgment thing are usually people who are lukewarm Christians one foot in one foot out of the church the Bible also tells us to judge righteously it also tells me what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul Vanity Vanity all is Vanity heaven is real but so is hell people need to repent that is the truth and that is love
Levi he knew what he was doing. he did this because that’s what he loved. however, most people are uneducated on the topic. he tried to educate about himself, using himself as an example and his reprocutions and negatives
He gave his soul and everything else to become what he wanted to be!! Fairplay to him for realising and speaking the truth so others get both sides of the story!!
I just found out about him today and yeah as I’m watching the video after seeing his last video…. I now understand why people respect him. He really is honest isn’t making excuses he’s laying down for what it is. Damn …
So surreal watching this video after Rich's passing.... "the negative is gonna come back at you eventually and it all equals out..." he was more right then he knew. RIP Rich
I got to meet rich In 2017 and it was everything I imagined, I remember the honesty I'm 6'7 and rich told me honestly I wasn't gonna be a bodybuilder but I could be a beast, now 65 pounds of muscle later I had a fire lit by this man. I thought about this conversation everyday for the last 5 years of training, I'd love to hear other people's stories who have met him below and what you took from the conversation
I lifted weights on and off since the age of 14. I tried all kinds of supplements for bodybuilding for years and didn't see much of a difference. I considered taking steroids now and then but my needle phobia kept me from doing so. Now i'm 46 and from all the people who died from steroids or who lost all their gains once they got off of them i can say i'm glad i never took them.
And because of the intramuscular nature of steroid abuse its Foriegn Oil from a plant injected daily into your body with fake chemical T basically the heart has to pump it and eventually gets clogged or swollen from it and cant move right and keep rhythm that or liver kidney pancreas function also go a bit haywire. It's pretty wild ride n after you feel like poo for 3 times longer than you felt good for so for each month of good feeling 3 bad at least if not like 6 months bad for every 1 good month so you basically have to stay on them till you die or feel like shit so bad you stop.
I agree with you 100% been lifting on and off for 40 years give it a 6-year run one-time all natural I could only get so big and it's very sad really wanted to see how big you can get natural I figured the best way it is a smaller built with a small waist I have been 215 lb and built and actually looks bigger at 180 pounds and cut with a four pack
Golden_Age_Bodybuilding agree..He does IT for the fanboys...He knows He is gettin trolled but Who does it for his trolls..He is a good guy and intelligent
There’s a lot of wisdom in this video. Every bodybuilder and aspiring bodybuilder needs to watch this. Rich Piana is a legend that died way too soon from the “bodybuilder lifestyle.”
I remember watching his videos, just to learn as he had a lot of life experience as well as body building that you can translate to other aspects of life, RIP Rich mate.
I feel like at this point he KNEW he was dying. He knew it was coming soon. He pushed the envelope with bigger by the day. He started pushing it HARD. It is sad. But he is a legend. And will live in forever. #1dayyoumay
derSpuk And Rich would probably agree with your assessment. He wanted to leave humanity behind, that was his dream, to ascend his body beyond the level of the regular human, and he wanted those of us lesser than him to... not exactly look up to him as a goal, but to aspire to be greater versions of ourselves. Like he said in the video, his buddy's dream was to be on that stage, it didn't matter if he was first or last. Just being there was enough for him to die happy, and the same could be said for Rich. If your own death is the price for a dream, so be it. You need to do what you feel makes your life complete. You don't let someone else dictate that for you.
Just a little coke b4 this haircut. Boom, heart arrhythmia. If his gf knew CPR and gave it the correct way he may still be alive. He knew the risks but didn't care.
In an industry that is full of deceitful people and liars, rich really stood out. Hands down one of the most honest and transparent bodybuilders ever, R.I.P.
His sincere honesty sold me on this athlete back in the day, I was driving a taxi locally to the hospital he died in. My customer was a nurse at the facility, told me they had a celebrity in there mits back when he was on life support. I hoped he would make it, he didn't. In my eyes, he's an educator where most people stray from, for fear of being looked at diffrent. I think he was a stand up guy and if I could id buy him a beer.
I close my eyes listening to his interview knowing that the music is mellow and sad.. .tears falling down goddamnit !!! Not a fan of rich piana but he got my utmost respect being honest and true .. .great guy R.I.P brother
Yeah, fuck you for having emotions! What are you, gay? Only women and gay men have emotions, right guys?? Hehehe, let's all laugh about our bottled up emotions and then commit suicide by gunshot in our fifties!!
R.I.P. Rich. Your honesty to all who were interested in the hobby has always been amazing. You never bullshitted to buy any bs products or lied to tell people what they wanted to hear. Will always be remembered as a workout guru.
Well I love the way Rich explained everything without runarounds, he just was straight up to the point being completely honest saying that in your face You're like it or not, not many people are like that unfortunately
Young guys don't listen, when I trained in Gold's in the early. 70's, Dianabol was readily available, I took it as prescribed, however my training partner took far more,. 2 years later he went back home to London where he lived, competed on the professional level with great success, subsequently developed serious kidney and liver problems and died in his 40's. Young men are easily influenced, older guys like me telling them to stay away from the stuff unfortunately goes in one ear and out the other. Total respect to all the old timers who pass along factual information. You did your best, Rest in Peace Rich
sad part about life is everyone got to learn for them self's ,its hard when you know how it went for some and you just want to help all you can say is i told you so
I suspect he might have been talking about Don Youngblood, who passed away in 2005 after getting dead last in the Mr. Olympia competition. Of course Rich was obviously in the same boat himself: addicted to steroids and stimulants and unable to give it up. Dallas McCarver was actually an elite bodybuilder. He won three pro shows and never got last place at the O.
Started watching his videos a couple months ago, and he's already one of my favorite body builders for the main reason of being upfront about things, funny, serious, and helpful
Rich Piana was a true inspiration and a true person when it came to being a very real person and awesome individual. I still look up to him and all the professional and personal advice he gave.
Whenever I feel pressured and confused because of all the new information and modern studies regarding fitness and bodybuilding, Then suddenly I stumbled again in one of Rich’s vids. It’s like Rich is saying to me: “You’re not lost my friend, you already know how it is. There is no secret. You just got to do it.”
I love, love, love, how candid Rich was. Never hid anything. Extremely intuitive, whether people want to credit him or not, he was. Also, had an infectious personality that makes you want to keep listening. Rich was gone way too soon.
Kevin Putnam who is the pro bodybuilder he's talking about? or he's talking partly about himself..? i feel like maybe he knew that his days were numbered...😢
We can all agree the steroids weren't exactly helping him live a healthy lifestyle, but the steroids didn't kill him. He was using narcotics on top of his usual roid regime. They found opiates and coke in his system post mortem. The roids didn't help, no, but that's not what killed him.
And I think RP has done everything he talks of ... He is doing it at the point of this interview . But he is hurting, slurring his words through this video knowing he did it all, and he is trying desperately to stop others doing what he is doing at this point Respect to Rich
Never been into bodybuilding or gyms but I enjoyed watching his videos for the information regarding the foods he was a very knowledgeable man easy to listen to and he was very honest about everything 🙏🏻🏴✌️

It sucks that he is gone. The dude had a great outlook and was the first bodybuilder that I know of to use social media as a benefit. Take care of yourselves everyone. Rip Big Rich.
I miss this dude so much. Realest guy out there. RIP RICH

Your health is your wealth
PSF 86 correct maan
PSF 86 yes indeed, but there’s more to health than it is to just health.
We’re not immortal
Problem is that you never try this shit by your own. If nobody was taking it, nobody would think of taking it
Yeah but nothing wrong with dying. He’s gone. It’s ok.
I just want to say how amazing this man is. His opinions and thoughts on this difficult topic are better than anyone else i've ever listened to. What a privelage to listen to this guy. RIP.
Please kids, young men that just watched this video. Don't do this to your body, do not be the one that blows your heart out at 27 years old just to look a certain way. Train hard, love the gym, but respect your bodies and know that you will have a different mind set at 30 then you did at 20, or even 40 than you did at 30. You can blast me all you want, but if one person stays off this stuff, GOOD deal.
He's dead now
Richard Parker you're right man. I love powerlifting but refuse to take steroids in the effort of making gains.
Richard Parker blast
By Any Means pussy
Thanks man
This is so deep now that he's gone. It's almost like he knew it was coming.
Tyler Anderson he did lmaooooo
Tyler Anderson did you not see how he ate and all the shit he used he was digging his own grave but atleast he lived like he wanted and he did whatever it took R.I.P
Gonna feel so empty not being able to watch your videos anymore..... Fuck. This hit me hard.
Jason Genova is ALIVE. That's all that matters.
Dan Quinn Nobody Cares about Geneva the moocher
Dan Quinn He's Hated All over the Dweeb Jason..Shit of a body
Vinum yup I feel you
Same here. Loved his honesty. Never afraid of the truth. Roids or not, definitely inspiring.
I feel I relate to rich not in the fact that I'm huge or anything but I love how open and honest he is about shit. He's probably helping save lives by educating young people
Rest In Peace brother.
Troy Vale tf are you on? Stfu
Troy Vale only God can judge and u ain't him joker
if he didn't care in this life about god of the bible who died on the cross for his sins , then why would he be with god in the afterlife
Glen Haywood a lot of people who come at people with the Judgment thing are usually people who are lukewarm Christians one foot in one foot out of the church the Bible also tells us to judge righteously it also tells me what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul Vanity Vanity all is Vanity heaven is real but so is hell people need to repent that is the truth and that is love
This man is really honest and open. He doesn't BS. Much respect
This guy was absolutely one of the realist guys within the gym mainstream and his death is genuinely a loss to the whole game.
The legend of Rich Piana will live forever
Woll Smoth legend???...i think not...cautionary tale...most definitely
Legend 😮😳
thought your dp was a bit of hair on my screen i tried to move it lol
Got ya u really made me think I had a hair on my screen
Ironic, he could save others from death, but not himself.
@Schwanzus Longus only through me can you achieve greater muscle gain than any bodybuilder!
Hypocrite u mean
Levi he knew what he was doing. he did this because that’s what he loved. however, most people are uneducated on the topic. he tried to educate about himself, using himself as an example and his reprocutions and negatives
lmao
Lol if the star wars reference went right over your head, shame on you for not knowing
I'm not a body builder. I don't use steroids. But damn I miss this dude.
Stop alcohol
@@jasonmitchell6534 stop your mouth diarrhea
It’s nice that. It shows he has fans from all different walks of life. Not just bodybuilding
Same brother
Didn’t ask
He gave his soul and everything else to become what he wanted to be!! Fairplay to him for realising and speaking the truth so others get both sides of the story!!
I just found out about him today and yeah as I’m watching the video after seeing his last video…. I now understand why people respect him. He really is honest isn’t making excuses he’s laying down for what it is.
Damn …
So surreal watching this video after Rich's passing.... "the negative is gonna come back at you eventually and it all equals out..." he was more right then he knew. RIP Rich
Joe Moore he knew. He always knew what would happen. Which is why he encouraged people to not do what he did.
It probably needed 8 hours to film this clip but only 5% of the footage was actually shown.
Lol. Rich loved these comments
200 minutes isn't a lot of footage.
😂
@@bodybybobby9440 he always told me to eat more 😓
@@tylerdurden786 when did he tell u that
He had his faults but he was still a damn fine human being.

I got to meet rich In 2017 and it was everything I imagined, I remember the honesty I'm 6'7 and rich told me honestly I wasn't gonna be a bodybuilder but I could be a beast, now 65 pounds of muscle later I had a fire lit by this man. I thought about this conversation everyday for the last 5 years of training, I'd love to hear other people's stories who have met him below and what you took from the conversation
I lifted weights on and off since the age of 14. I tried all kinds of supplements for bodybuilding for years and didn't see much of a difference. I considered taking steroids now and then but my needle phobia kept me from doing so. Now i'm 46 and from all the people who died from steroids or who lost all their gains once they got off of them i can say i'm glad i never took them.
odudi Run some test e as trt 250mg aa week. At your age, your test is low. As long you don't abuse steroids, than it's pretty much safe.
Good choice. Someone close to me started taking them at about 46 (mid-life crisis) He was dead by fifty. The roids contributed to his death.
And because of the intramuscular nature of steroid abuse its Foriegn Oil from a plant injected daily into your body with fake chemical T basically the heart has to pump it and eventually gets clogged or swollen from it and cant move right and keep rhythm that or liver kidney pancreas function also go a bit haywire. It's pretty wild ride n after you feel like poo for 3 times longer than you felt good for so for each month of good feeling 3 bad at least if not like 6 months bad for every 1 good month so you basically have to stay on them till you die or feel like shit so bad you stop.
Your friend didn't die from testosterone in four years.
I agree with you 100% been lifting on and off for 40 years give it a 6-year run one-time all natural I could only get so big and it's very sad really wanted to see how big you can get natural I figured the best way it is a smaller built with a small waist I have been 215 lb and built and actually looks bigger at 180 pounds and cut with a four pack
This guy was too real, he inspires me a lot and I’ve so much respect for him, he’s been there and done that, he truly knows his shit
He's an idiot who understands he's an idiot himself. At least he got that going.
Man Rich sounds way more intelligent without saying the F word every 2 secs. Why can't he sound like this all the time?
Golden_Age_Bodybuilding agree..He does IT for the fanboys...He knows He is gettin trolled but Who does it for his trolls..He is a good guy and intelligent
RIGHT BABE?!
He does it to confuse the fans like you
Golden_Age_Bodybuilding because it's shake time goddammit!!!
CCR5-Δ32 😂😂😂💀
There’s a lot of wisdom in this video. Every bodybuilder and aspiring bodybuilder needs to watch this. Rich Piana is a legend that died way too soon from the “bodybuilder lifestyle.”
This video has so much more depth now that he's dead
samuel marsh so true
Was weird seeing this on my news feed, the title was confusing at first
6 feet now, approximately.
it highlights his idiocy
how, he made great points.
Finally he can rest and put the iron down
🙏🏻💯
R.i.p rich
Your inspired me to change and workout thanks
RIP Rich! I just recently got into bodybuilding and he is the most transparent man in this industry.
Boston Loyd enters the chat
I remember watching his videos, just to learn as he had a lot of life experience as well as body building that you can translate to other aspects of life, RIP Rich mate.
I met Rich years ago and went to his Wedding..he Was one of the coolest dude out there.. What a loss... R.i.p brother
I feel like at this point he KNEW he was dying. He knew it was coming soon.
He pushed the envelope with bigger by the day. He started pushing it HARD. It is sad. But he is a legend. And will live in forever. #1dayyoumay
legend of steroids
Sad man, he lived the life of a king tho but youre right
11 more days...the 2 year anniversary of his death.
Very sad that he died 3 months after this interview .....
his own fault.
derSpuk And Rich would probably agree with your assessment. He wanted to leave humanity behind, that was his dream, to ascend his body beyond the level of the regular human, and he wanted those of us lesser than him to... not exactly look up to him as a goal, but to aspire to be greater versions of ourselves. Like he said in the video, his buddy's dream was to be on that stage, it didn't matter if he was first or last. Just being there was enough for him to die happy, and the same could be said for Rich. If your own death is the price for a dream, so be it. You need to do what you feel makes your life complete. You don't let someone else dictate that for you.
Jack Doe beautiful
derSpuk facts he already knew what he was doing to himself
Just a little coke b4 this haircut. Boom, heart arrhythmia. If his gf knew CPR and gave it the correct way he may still be alive. He knew the risks but didn't care.
Once in a while I watch videos with rich in them so I can hear truth and not bs. Thx rich for keeping it real with us all RIP
I've never seen most honest man in bodybuilding. Respect. 👍
What? Youve never seem most honest man?
I respect his brutal honesty so much!! Doesnt sugar coat anything.
In an industry that is full of deceitful people and liars, rich really stood out. Hands down one of the most honest and transparent bodybuilders ever, R.I.P.
His sincere honesty sold me on this athlete back in the day, I was driving a taxi locally to the hospital he died in. My customer was a nurse at the facility, told me they had a celebrity in there mits back when he was on life support. I hoped he would make it, he didn't. In my eyes, he's an educator where most people stray from, for fear of being looked at diffrent. I think he was a stand up guy and if I could id buy him a beer.
The person who got me watching work out videos on youtube. Loved his honesty. Many flaws but his honesty was one of kind. Rip brotha
Gotta respect the realness and honesty of this dude!
Watching this over 2 years after he passed and goddamn I miss him.
Yeah he is missed here too. 😥
Same here. Thankfully no one will remember him purely because of his death because he was so open about it all during his life. A bodybuilding legend!
dont blaspheme God.
Same.
Zetoria don’t blaspheme Gods name. He punishes for that. No joke.
Wow. I love how honest and down to earth he is. How looks can deceive!
Can't believe he is gone !!!
It sucks knowing it :(
I used to watch all his videos
Grinder79 Aleixo Ikr. And he didn't even reach a million subscrbers yet.
I think he's there by now.
The name is right for him, Rich because he is Rich in knowledge and wish. Keep up the real ness! You legend
that was cringe....
Sajed Bakhsh Forget what that douche said, that was a great comment man
Follow my channel for motivation speeches!
I close my eyes listening to his interview knowing that the music is mellow and sad.. .tears falling down goddamnit !!! Not a fan of rich piana but he got my utmost respect being honest and true .. .great guy R.I.P brother
You might have an estrogen spike cuz of the aromatized roids you took orally.
You sound like a bitch
Yeah, fuck you for having emotions! What are you, gay? Only women and gay men have emotions, right guys??
Hehehe, let's all laugh about our bottled up emotions and then commit suicide by gunshot in our fifties!!
Get a grip muppet
Ugh, i really remember watching these videos years ago. Was super inspired by Rich. An amazing down to earth guy. RIP once again. Been an OG
Never heard of anybody that massive being so cool and humble.
R.I.P. Rich. Your honesty to all who were interested in the hobby has always been amazing. You never bullshitted to buy any bs products or lied to tell people what they wanted to hear. Will always be remembered as a workout guru.
But meanwhile he sold "Bullshit Products" Ha ha what a joke.
David Orelj you obviously never watched his videos explaining product promotion
Well I love the way Rich explained everything without runarounds, he just was straight up to the point being completely honest saying that in your face You're like it or not, not many people are like that unfortunately
Young guys don't listen, when I trained in Gold's in the early. 70's, Dianabol was readily available, I took it as prescribed, however my training partner took far more,. 2 years later he went back home to London where he lived, competed on the professional level with great success, subsequently developed serious kidney and liver problems and died in his 40's. Young men are easily influenced, older guys like me telling them to stay away from the stuff unfortunately goes in one ear and out the other. Total respect to all the old timers who pass along factual information. You did your best, Rest in Peace Rich
sad part about life is everyone got to learn for them self's ,its hard when you know how it went for some and you just want to help all you can say is i told you so
I guess he left humanity behind.
RIP Expensive Piano, we'll miss you.
Oh! Dude! Lmfao!!! C'mon!...
Expensive piano?
Rich or expensive. Alot of money. Rich piana. Rich piano. Expensive piano. Basically a bit of a shit joke
vp5 it was funny
Real Banana is my favourite natty piano
I like him so much more in this context than his self posted videos. He is so much more down to earth and relatable.
This guy was a very honest dude and did not mind to give you lots of helpfull tips.
Wish I could have met him and train with him one day.RIP Rich!
Rest In Peace man, I admire your honesty and your integrity. It takes a lot of courage to say the truth
His talk on synthol respect!!
7:41 Rich was talking about himself. Loading up on coke, steroids, and ephedra and dying. This video was foreshadowing.
... no he wasnt.
no he's talking about Dallas McCarver.... because he's never competed in Mr. Olympia
I suspect he might have been talking about Don Youngblood, who passed away in 2005 after getting dead last in the Mr. Olympia competition. Of course Rich was obviously in the same boat himself: addicted to steroids and stimulants and unable to give it up.
Dallas McCarver was actually an elite bodybuilder. He won three pro shows and never got last place at the O.
@@thekingofagony dallas did not compete in masters Olympia....
@@thunderchundering what is masters olympia
The world need more guys like him.
RIP 💔
venkat Subramanian Go to AA meetings if you want to meet people like him.

Miss you Rich you’re a legend with a kind and beautiful heart.
now, if i'm watching it my hart 's breaking off ......
илья винегрет bret hart?
Heart*
He ALWAYS used to say “I’m not telling you to do it, I’m just showing you what I do.” Like him or not he was always straight.
R.I.P
Fr gay people weird
Started watching his videos a couple months ago, and he's already one of my favorite body builders for the main reason of being upfront about things, funny, serious, and helpful
Rich Piana was a true inspiration and a true person when it came to being a very real person and awesome individual. I still look up to him and all the professional and personal advice he gave.
Miss Rich and his complete honesty. RIP, brother
I followed rich through my teen years. I felt he was really inspiring. And completely honest. I'm sure he's Benching the pearly gates right now...
It's hard to find a gate inside a casket. that's the only place he is. fairy tales arent real dude, grow up.
@@phantomshtterQuit being edgy you’re a cornball
Love him or hate him. The man doesn't lie.
Whenever I feel pressured and confused because of all the new information and modern studies regarding fitness and bodybuilding,
Then suddenly I stumbled again in one of Rich’s vids.
It’s like Rich is saying to me:
“You’re not lost my friend, you already know how it is. There is no secret. You just got to do it.”
RIP MAN ! YOU WERE A GREAT MAN WHO LIVED ON HIS OWN TERMS AND DIED ON HIS OWN TERMS . RESPECT .
I love, love, love, how candid Rich was. Never hid anything. Extremely intuitive, whether people want to credit him or not, he was. Also, had an infectious personality that makes you want to keep listening.
Rich was gone way too soon.
7:55 so damn relevant to him now....
Kevin Putnam who is the pro bodybuilder he's talking about? or he's talking partly about himself..? i feel like maybe he knew that his days were numbered...😢
What a stupid comment. i feel like he knew his days were numbered wtf is that.
We can all agree the steroids weren't exactly helping him live a healthy lifestyle, but the steroids didn't kill him. He was using narcotics on top of his usual roid regime. They found opiates and coke in his system post mortem. The roids didn't help, no, but that's not what killed him.
Champion of a man thank you for saving me and my husband’s lives we forever love you
And I think RP has done everything he talks of ... He is doing it at the point of this interview .
But he is hurting, slurring his words through this video knowing he did it all, and he is trying desperately to stop others doing what he is doing at this point
Respect to Rich
Never been into bodybuilding or gyms but I enjoyed watching his videos for the information regarding the foods he was a very knowledgeable man easy to listen to and he was very honest about everything 🙏🏻🏴✌️
Respect for being 100% honest, nice man
One of the most honest guys in body building. R.I.P. big guy. I miss his videos.
