I saw many of Rich's videos on YouTube and he seemed like a decent guy, and of course it's sad that he died, but is anyone genuinely surprised? His arms were freakishly big. He just didn't look human at all. He's quoted as saying he took steroids "properly", but look at recent pictures of him compared to when he was younger and you'll see that he just looked strange. His face looks like it's had some cosmetic surgery, as does his hair. I'm not saying that's a reason why he died but you can see he had become obsessed with his appearance. It was his life and all but if he was one of my friends I would be like "Hey, man, I'm worried about you, stop taking those things please".
Never heard of him but RIP. Always sad when someone dies, let alone so young with so much potential life ahead still to live.
Holy those are two strong men. But to be honest, and no dis-respect, but Thor looks completely natural but i'm afraid Rich looks all artificial, especially the back of his arms.
obligatory: "Rich Piana is my favorite natural bodybuilder." So long Rich! Thanks for the honesty over the years. He was one guy who pulled no punches and gave no f*cks.
Dude I hate to burst your bubble but Rich is in no-way Natrual lol, theres NOTHING natrual about that guy trust me I speak with 20+ years being around the stuff.
