Despite the criticisms he's cool.

Despite the criticisms he's cool.
He certainly looks cool.
-
I think Rich is a really cool guy and he's 100% right about social media being the ticket to $$ success in the modern fitness industry.
What bugs me is that he never won any bodybuilding contest of substance and has no academic credentials or certifications.
Yet, because of social media people think he's something .
-
I recognize Josh, who is the tatted up guy?
-
Yeah, he seems like a cool guy. Mentally fucked but cool nonetheless.
-
Guys involved in bodybuilding know what he did to obtain those cosmetic muscles. I wonder if the general public is in awe of him or do they laugh?
-
Wonder what the average IQ (and height) is on that photo :P
-
Despite the criticisms he's cool.
nice oils well that ends well. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
your arms look very small compared to him, have you tried supersetting biceps curls with tricep pushdowns with rope?

Thanks, I'll keep take that into consideration ::)
-
He asked my kid to take some video I'm assuming for his Instagram.
-
Despite the criticisms he's cool.
Guy likely has low self esteem around people he doesn't know and when hes not putting on his act like in his videos hes probably polite and friendly and nice to most people
-
Still an oil and drug filled bagoon. His bungo lips alone have more fillers in 'em than a Costco hotdog.

Now, now, now......Howard.
Don't you know that we live during the time of generation nothingness? This is a time where you don't need an education, certifications and/or even an actual talent whatsoever to be famous.
Today, people like Kim Kardashian, who walks around with the behind of an overweight, 65 yr old woman with no actual talent can become a multimillionaire.
I don't blame these talent-less individuals for their success. On the contrary, I blame the incredibly stupid masses that will volunteer to give up their money to support and perpetuate their presence in the media.
Kardashian, Piana, as well as any other crafty individual that has made it to fame via "leaked" videos or YouTube channels are all simply hustlers that have figured out a way to make the average person part with their money with very little resistance involved.

ok, how much do you think his oil bags tape in at?

Safe to assume Piana is about 5'8"? :D

So, ummmm...Do you think Piana "leaked" his arms in some steamy, seamy videos? ;D

are you guys attempting to armwrestle in that photo? i think you would do better with a table

Coach has a solid physique for his age btw

Great post and I agree.
Rich Piana all but came out and said, his main goal is the make a living and use social media for self promo.
Piana seems like a cool dude and would be interesting to work out with or whatever.
I don't think I'd take much contest prep advice from him.

Oil aside he's in better shape than 95% of off season pros though

Coach could crush his hand if he wanted to from all those captians of crush grippers.

Oh, no.
Rich is just doing what ALL supplement businessmen do within the bodybuilding industry.......
I'll leave that open to your own conclusion, as I don't want to sound rude.

I don't understand why it should bother you. He found a way to create a business and make money. It's doesn't take an MBA to have a successful business. The gym where this meet is being held is a good friend of mine. It's a personal training gym that does well over a million a year. If more people would take the initiative we wouldn't have so many on the government dole.

This is true. There is a large group of people in the world with very low IQ who are too dumb to see through the fakeness, the facade, the lies and the bullshit. This is their target audience.
It's comparable to WWE wrestling, targeting low IQ white trash.

Good pts BUT.
BUT, in most service provider business you need some successful experience and/or credentials.
The man has no personal contest success of merit.
He has no degrees , certifications or training to gain expertise.
Other then being a big dude with some personal charisma , what kind of expertise does he have ?

you don't need credentials to make money as long as there are people who want your product

Degrees don't mean shit and certs don't mean shit unless you're working with certain demographics such as athletes, etc. with bodybuilding, training experience is most important. This guy been training for about 25 years.

Stupid mass? U mean you and me and everyone else on this board talking about them mention their name, google, watch youtube, instagram, facebook, newspaper etc etc...

Tommy Lee and José Raymond lookin jacked and tan

Pretty much. But there are varying degrees of stupidity. Its one thing to talk about them on here, another thing to buy their supplements or subscribe to their FB or Instagram page. While I somewhat play a part of the stupid masses, I at least try to limit it by not directly providing them with money.
-

Exactly. When you have enough stupid teenagers believing in this 5% bullshit, you don't need to have any credentials. You just need to ensure that the people you're marketing to are naive (teenagers, hardcore gym rats). Rich Piani would not survive 5 minutes on Wall Street or in the real corporate world.
But I guess good for him for targeting a naive population and selling himself!
-

Cool sandles brah...

Yup. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D I don't care for him or others like him but then I am far from his target audience. I got suckered into ordering (for more than I made in a week) some Weider Weight Gain 10,000 back in the early 70s by ads in Muscle Builder/Power or whatever he called it that week, so I understand completely! ;D
-

Speak for yourself. Some of us have literally no idea who these people are nor have ever, ever looked them up or as much as googled their names.

Everything is justified if it sells. Money are being made out of a lot more stupid shit around the world, this one is actually quite unique/original (in his freakyness,etc..).

hahaha
Gayer than a pink soccer ball.

Agreed. But good thing for him there is enough naive teenagers and stupid hardcore gym rats to fall for his "5%" crap. He found a niche and went with it.
But as stated, in the real corporate world of business, he would not last 5 minutes. He just doesn't have the skill set or mindset.
Though, if people ever "wake up" like getbiggers regarding supplements and all that shit, hes going to be in for a rude awakening. But I dont suspect that happening any time soon.
-
True.
BUT what objective success has Rich Piana had as a competitive bodybuilder?
He's been competitive in national level show Howard, and he wasn't lost in the sea of competitors as you would like to say.
I get your point but you're failing to realize this generation do sent care about bodybuilding, they want to be lean and big, aka look good. For example look at the amount of idiots who pump their upper bodies full of oil, all show.
I know men in their mid 30's who adore Piana because he's big and lean, these guys buy his sups thinking there's something to them because old Rich is a "straight shooter".
His resume and credentials are obvious. It's just not our cup of tea.

He has the perfect marketing scheme. He is very honest (straight shooter) about his steroid use and other shit, therefore, he must be honest about his supplements.
-

For some reason, guys like Piana seem to make more $$ and get a bigger following then a lot of pros.
I know plenty of gym rats that would be more likely to listen to him or Palumbo then a top 5 Olympia pro.
-

Exactly, despite the fact that he has a video that he states all supplements and junk except for his of course. I have guys you drink his All Day convinced it does something, one even said it has a lactic acid buffer in it ::) and these are grown men with over a decade of training. ......

And this is because pros are blatant about lying about their drug use, ie Liar Priest. It's the same reason Bostin Lloyd has a cult following, even if his lies are to the other extreme, you give the people what they want.

Coach's midget status confirmed.
-
Piana seems like a fun dude... has a good time. And good to bodybuilding fans
-
I hope you got a free 5% hat and tank and a PMMA clinic discount. :D
-
Safe to assume Piana is about 5'8"? :D
Ouch
-

Haha, nah. Got the pic and went about my business. His buddy (the big Mexican dude, Jake I think his name is) was doing the bench part of the meet. He got I think a 550 and missed 565. Strong lift though. Pretty sure Chad Wesley Smith take his class easily.
-
He asked my kid to take some video I'm assuming for his Instagram.
Who is the hottie with the cal shirt?
-
Who is the hottie with the cal shirt?
I think it was that jake dudes girlfriend.

OMR consistently sounding like one of the smarter posters on GetBig.
Only he didn't mention Kanye, who many label a "genius".
Give me a break. He's lucky Beck isn't a badass who kicked his ass off the stage.

Ok he may not have gotten lost in the line up, but how did he actually place?
Oh well, it really doesn't matter.
Rich may end up making a lot more $$$ then I ever will.
Plus, a lot more people would seek his bodybuilding advice then me, so wtf.
I like Rich and maybe an old fart like me doesn't "get him". Who gives a fuk what I think anyway.

If you do it right any gym rat or someone with a slightly thicker than a swimmers build can get internet famous through social media. This xyzzy dude is (was nothing but the second thing I discribed but yet kids fell for his BS. Look at Genova for Gods sake. I mean, really?
-
Rich is one of these guys on that looks even bigger in person. He came to my gym before here. Kinda nuts, considering Coach is a big guy himself (horizontally not vertically :-D ) and Rich has a significant amount of size over him.
Cool pic Coach

How much did these guys weigh? My best was 505 with a 530 fail at 198. I was chasing Mike MacDonald to no avail back in the olden days before crazy shirts.

Not sure what class he was but my guess was AT least 262. I'm 225 and got 410 this week with a messed up radial nerve. But again, his was raw so not really that bad.
-
He certainly looks cool.
Why is this so hilarious?

Mike and I were friends. Legendary bench presser. Bought two of his earliest cambered bars for our power gym. Bought LOTS of his glandular too. :D They worked- or maybe it was the 100mgs daily of Dianabol I was taking?

This naivity is spread like a deases all over the world in all categories, not just stupid teenagers in the gym.
Expensive food, cheap food, shit food, wine, wiskey, clothes, schampoo, sneakers, makeup, hairshit, just EVERYTHING on the market is 99% bullshit!
And what the hell is this 5% shit, what does it mean?
-
I like Rich. He is living proof that all the morons that say anyone can become a pro if they take huge dosages of gear and train halfway hard with even subpar genetics are full of shit.
-
Did he know you from getbig?

Ask yourself, what percentage of people are out there actually doing whatever it takes to fulfill their dreams, to accomplish their goals, and to live the type of life they want to live?
That Is Where The 5% Comes In
You may be more familiar with the 95% of people that start and never finish. The goal was too hard, seemed too impossible to achieve, and felt like their goal was too far to reach. Maybe it is too hard, too impossible, and too far out of reach; that doesn’t stop the 5%er!
5% Is Not Just A Number Applicable To Fitness
It applies to ALL areas of life; finances and business, the pursuit of happiness and freedom, family, sports, a way of life, education, personal development, etc. Of course it’s not an easy path to take, that is why only 5% of people accept the challenge
Ask yourself, what percentage of people are out there actually doing whatever it takes to fulfill their dreams, to accomplish their goals, and to live the type of life they want to live?

How could anyone be impressed by that caricature of a Human being....He's a complete joke...
-
What's Rich account on here?
-
If Rich is 295lbs, as he claims, how fucking small does that make Coach? Rich looks like he has 150lbs on Coach in that picture.
...Maybe PMMA is lighter than water? We know that oil is lighter than water, haha...
-
What's Rich account on here?
Quaker Oats

What's Rich account on here?
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?action=profile;u=13964
He hasn't logged in for over 8 years though. This was Rich pre-PMMA.
Perhaps if he stayed here, Getbig's resident psychologists like uberman would have cured him of his mental disorders.
-
You could honestly make the claim that coach looks like he never lifted a weight in his life, in that pic with Piana.
All those years of lifting (with roids) and now a "strength and conditioning coach", and he could pass for stocky dude who works in a pizzeria.

When Rich's ex came on here and started shit talking him, the guy remained cool as hell. Never did he bad mouth her, act like a jerk or anything. He seems like a nice guy, a big liar about his "muscles" but still a nice guy.
