Damn I'm upset about what his close friend said on another video about how he warned Rich that he was pushing it too hard and that he needed to give his body a break. As a friend he was telling Rich to slow the hell down or he was going to have big problems. But Rich just insisted that "this was what his followers wanted to see" This is a guy who is a close friend of Rich. Said he knew him for 27 years. He said he told Rich he had to get off the gear he was too big and he was getting too big and he needed to stop, he needed to pump the brakes and take it easy and give his body a rest. Rich's response "This is what my followers wanna see"...
Damn

This really hit me, as an insecure person myself. I'm a really sad to hear this. I have something to say about it. Now I'm going to assume for the sake of this opinion, that when Rich said that, he actually meant it and believed it that "this is what his followers want to see" - rather than him just saying that to the guy to rationalize it and get him off of his back so he didn't have to hear it. I/we all know how annoying it is close friends or family tell us to stop doing something that we already know we should stop doing (even though we know where it's coming from)

It just makes me so sad because Rich's size actually wasn't what I wanted to see and it wasn't why I was still a fan. So his size is what caught my attention at first, and then it was his videos. And as I got to know Rich through his videos, the value and the likability came 100% from how genuine he was. Rich was far from perfect. I wasn't a fan because he looks like Smashmouth and Fred Durst on steroids, or for his personal shortcomings, allegations, douchiness, previous issues, etc. It was how genuine he was. He owned up to his mistakes and became a guy who was accountable and straight up despite his screw-ups.

To me it almost felt as if he was past his prime. I mean obviously he was a tank and probably the biggest bodybuilder walking around, but the last time I had seen him give his all for a show, he didn't get the result he wanted. After that I basically said okay Rich isn't really a competitor anymore, he's making his living from YouTube and 5% nutrition and collaborations. Cool. He's owning his previous mistakes, acknowledging that he's not going to take first in a show, and being honest with everybody. Giving real life advice to help people struggling with certain issues and guiding people down a certain path while trying to mitigate their less desirable outcomes. He had the experience and he wanted to spread his knowledge to people learning. Rich was making a living being an influencer and guiding people. Rich didn't need to be blasting and cruising if he wasn't going to be competing. The guy's value was elsewhere.

That being said, He was a genetic super elite and it would be a travesty not to push that to its full potential. So he did that. For a long time, and he got to where he aged out of it. I wish the dude had realized he didn't have to be pushing himself and abusing the compounds like that because he's someone that I wish the fitness industry still had. Rich is a great, and I'm talking an exceptionally great personality for guys who are getting into bodybuilding to ✅ check out. Because they will learn a lot not only by listening to him but by looking at him. You see this guy who's basically the biggest guy, and he's sitting there straight up telling you about what he did and how - and what you should or shouldn't do and how. But they get to see a guy who didn't take all of his own advice all the time. It always seemed to me like he learned a lot from his mistakes. Rich has a good way of teaching people so that they can learn from his mistakes. I know that from watching him. I gained not only the knowledge that I did... which is a lot of knowledge about compound use and safety, risk versus reward, muscle building techniques, and even just general knowledge on the sport and life etc by listening - but throughout watching all his videos and seeing his progression over time I was able to take away other less obvious gems. I saw some things that I wanted to emulate, and I saw some things that I wanted to avoid by looking at Rich. There's something to be said for someone who exposes you to both sides.

My point is the guy was very valuable beyond having gigantic muscles. He rocked the look really well and made people want to be bodybuilders. His tattooed accented his physique really really well and his muscles were crazy. He didn't have to and he shouldn't have kept pushing himself like that. We could have had a smaller version of the dude saying the same stuff to us. I feel like he earned that right getting to be the age he was if you know what I mean. Look at some of the other guys. They get a little older and they go a different route.

My doctor, for example, used to compete; but he's 44 or 45 now. He may or may not still use some PED's in a reasonable quantity on top of his HRT which is prescribed and he maintains an amazing physique. Makes a living coaching people online and running YouTube channel where he yells at people and sells cookbooks.

RIP Rich 🎹
Legend and absolute unit

Dude told everyone how it's was! Told you the risks of juice and the affects on not just your body but the people you will enevitably leave behind. He didn't hide anything. And unfortunately paid the ultimate sacrifice. Under all the muscle he still had a good heart. I hope he's resting easy now. RIP Rich! 💪❤️

Three years ago I was an overweight kid who wanted to change. I started working out and looked to rich for inspiration and motivation. He died soon after I’ve started. I just want him to know I’ve lost 30 pounds and got myself a six pack, and that I come back to this video every now and then to keep motivating myself.

I didn’t know who Rich was until after he passed away - I heard his name on another bodybuilder’s channel and then started watching Rich’s archive of videos - and I was surprised by how moved I felt by his life story and by his death. You can tell he had a big heart and really cared about people. I actually went to visit his grave today - I was there visiting someone else and remembered that Rich is buried at Forest Lawn as well - and it’s shocking how plain and unassuming his headstone is (but at least he has one now - he was resting in an unmarked grave for almost eight months. Horrible). You would’ve thought that his family, friends, and 5% could’ve banded together and created a nicer memorial for him. But the way he lived and inspired other people is what we’ll remember him for, and that’s what counts. RIP, big guy!

I too have only noticed Rich recently and I too can agree with You, I go to my Dad's grave in a Graveyard, I lay flowers there, I also lay flowers in my 2 Brothers Graves, the Ocean where we put their ashes, I totally agree with you, though Ive not seen Rick's Grave, you would think that the Mass would pull together and sort it.....

The guy was honest. I respect him for that. I think Rich was a good guy who had an obsession that outweighed his self preservation and even his conscience. So much respect for this legend. I would recommend us all looking at the positives and using that, while learning from the negatives he went through. We don’t have to fall into that trap. We can use his words and wisdom, without taking the road he took. Love ya Rich and I hope you’re in heaven with God. ❤️

Things for Rich didn't start going down this path I don't think until 10 years ago, if you see pictures of him before then, he looks quite healthy and (relatively) natural. Fear of ageing maybe, fear of losing mass... some major, big psychological thing was going with Rich. Like you, when I first came across his channel two years ago, my immediate reaction was the same as yours - I couldn't comprehend what I was seeing.

Unfortunately I didn't discover Rich Piana until 2016. The first video I watched of him I saw this really kind soul. Very down to earth and he just told it like it was. I have been witness to death all over the globe most of the time I shrugged it off but when Rich Died I felt a great sadness. I think this man felt he had to continue what he started and probably felt he was no one without steroids. I'm not judging him at all. Very sad story and even though I never met him I know I could have been friends with this man had I met him. From the videos I have watched of Rich it seems to me this guy was in turmoil and maybe alot of physical pain but he kept going. I'm not sure what's waiting for us on the other side but I hope he is somewhere happy.

Now all that hard work at the gym all gone in one day but his legacy still lives on..Rip man..

Edgar Wulf

Damn, I only found out now. Can't say I was fan of his, but I think he was a genuinely cool guy who worked hard and knew what he was doing, regardless of the steroids. Hope he's in a better place now.

Shaun Sanford

Really good dude. Like many of us, he had an addiction. It got the best of him. RIP Brother

To the haters. This guy loved life , can you say you love yours? He was honest and helpful to others. It doesn't make us any better to be negative about someone's death. RIP Rich and I hope I can work out with you in that big gym up there!

Timonizer Mwenezi who gives a damn. It was his life and he enjoyed it the way he wanted. If people don't like him that's fine. It's just pathetic that so many people find pleasure in his death. He was honest about his drug use. Obviously not about details on what he used. But was one of the few willing to share information on bullshit that is professional bodybuilding industry.

You're still an inspiration and humble funny guy RIP Rich

Houcem Rabhi

it does not matter how long you lived on this earth, what really matters is how you lived your life and what legacy you left behind. The guy achieved most of his goals, he became famous and beloved from people accross the sea all around the world. It would be better if he didn't leave like that's but that's life, full of surprises , isn't it ?

He even had 4 scoops of heart :(

It's now no wonder why he was such a kind, candid guy.

Unaltrocanale

I didn't even know who he was and I ended watching some of his videos and then this. I'm so sad, he seemed a nice guy. I feel like I was discovering him and he suddenly died :(

Nickie Wood

I was never into bodybuilders until I met my partner. He watches his videos all the time and I think Rich was awesome. Was well gutted when he died. R. I. P man. Xx

Gabe Taylor

Think what you will of the man, he lived life on his own terms, and I have the utmost respect for that.

I met Rich twice and got a picture with him and a signed poster that hangs above my gym that’s says kill it Rich Piana and I use it as motivation and a daily reminder to always kill it in every part of life not even just even fitness thanks rich for motivating me I hope that you are in a great place

No matter what you say about his substance use, you cannot deny the hard work and dedication he put into his craft. Not everybody can do such a thing. People need to have some respect damn.

LOL his dedication to taking drugs was good because it made him buff. What

Derek Hirose

I you do realize that steroids don't automatically make you buffed right. You still have to put in the work.

He could not become that huge without steroids of course... he did his thing, he knew the risk. Just shows how stubborn and addicted humans can be:/

dkhirose ummm,It speeds up your muscle limit.So yes,You don't put as much work as you would without steroids.Its cheating.

Derek Hirose

7y↑1

of course it's cheating, but what I'm saying is that you would still have to put in a lot of hard work. I can guarantee if I used roids, I still wouldn't be able to get like how he did. You cannot deny the fact that he did work hard despite the help from roids.
