Rich Piana

I would like to get your thoughts on him. Like him or hate him. Please don't just say like or hate, give me your reasoning.

 

[Kins]

Were you not aware that he passed away?

 

[Sheppa]

LOL. Yes, My gym buddies and I have different opinions on him and a couple of them really strongly dis-liked him. Just was wondering what others thought of him and what he brought to the bodybuilding community.

He told it how it was and I appreciate that from him, I liked his fuck it attitude, cause in the long run who cares about some dumb fuck judge judging you for something he will never try to do!! His line at the expos was twice of cutlers, Coleman’s and any other guy out there, cause he was real. Sure he was party animal and I’m not into that and that’s what took his life but you can’t hate what he made himself into. Tell your buddies keep hating cause rich is still making money while he’s dead!!

I am 100% on your side. I love his attitude and they way he told it like it was. He pulled no strings and I think that's why some people didn't like him or loved him for that matter. Also, his business method was by far way ahead of others.

**** Honestly, take him or leave him..! But I agree with what is said above for the most part, to each is own..!

He had some "early -On" decent accomplishments as far as competition Bodybuilding is concerned.

I do like most of his Supp line, (and "Yes" he is about making $$$ as opposed to chasing a trophy.

One of the "only" things I don't care for is 90% of the time , whether it be an interview, or one of his own You-Tube casts, he was Fucked up on something, eyes all dialated
I just don't agree with that as a "good" and positive representation of the sport, or every day liffe in general.

I believe he had his share of Demons, and perhaps not having a Father (much less a decent father figure may have had something to do with it.)

I don't care if he'd still making $$ while deceased,

He simply isn't here to get to enjoy it..!

So what's the point...! Am I perfect..? Hell's no..!

Have I partied a bit in my days..? Sure, but nothing hard nothing harsh I've always treated my body like a Temple

You have "one" ..take care of it..! After all, were not here for a long time, were here for a good time, but to throw your life away & risk those of others by being high out o your mind 70-85% of the time, is utter nonsense.

Far more to life than that...! *** You asked..!

I appreciate and respect your answer. You bring up a lot of good points.

Much Respect...! I'm a straight shooter, and typically don't judge other's, as long as your not harming/stealing from someone else's table.

Pretty laid back actually... Considering.. I had a decent upbringing, my parents are still around , I've three kids and a beautiful granddaughter. "Life Is Good"

It sad to see something like REC's take down someone larger than life in many different ways. I never got the chance to meet him but knew people that did at expos and they said he didn't care who your were, he had time for everyone.

That says alot right there I know exactly how you mean..!

One year at the Arnold, I was near Big Lou's table.., across from Flex Wheeler, I think..?? Any rate, there was a guy attempting to take a pic of his kid, who couldn't have been but 10-12 year's old, Lou had a sign on the front of his table, taped down in a tent fashion.. Said " Photos $10.00"

As the guy proceeded to adjust his camera, & have the kid move so he was somewhat off center to still get Lou in the shot, He stands up, and points to the sign...!

I was like WTF...? Has stuck in my memory since..!

Now i like Ferrigno as an actor, and his accomplishments in the Sport, and his sheer Mass n symetry , but c'mon
Dude, for real... You need the cash that bad..., Instead of making a young boys day....? I was floored..

Gotta get to the gym & get busy with these skinny legs.

My sentiments exactly! He got a little weird with all the plastic surgeries and what not, but very entertaining to say the least. Never said no to a photo or a handshake. Very loyal to his fans. Much respect. R.i.p.
