Yeah ..was his training partner too but still think Rich could have got one Mr O . He was definetly a dedicated Bodybuilder, diet ..etc. always liked his physique.

No one worked harder than Rich. Haney saw him train and wanted him for a partner ASAP...

Gaspari was harder & drier than Haney and most everyone else but his structure really hurt him in the mandatories

Really enjoyable - thanks for posting.  Because I wasn't a huge Gaspari fan - respected him of course, just not a fan - I 'd never realised just how 'Italian' his family life was.  I mean, just imagine the willpower required to sit at that table and ignore the smell of all that pasta and hit the tupperware instead... wow... just wow...(smh)

Also, in the same way that Zane was called 'The Chemist', I always wondered if Rich was considered to be just a bit more (bro)scientific regarding the hormones than his peers..?

No idea about what he took, they all juiced but I just liked his insane ..maybe the wrong word but his knowledge of diet. sure drugs can get you super ripped but even in the 80s he was beyond human.

Oh yeah, absolutely - I wasn't trying to insinuate he took more, or that was why he was ripped - I can see the pure willpower on display for sure.  I just wondered if he did more research than others, like he did with the nutrition (as you say) - he sort of strikes me as the type...

Rick Gasparagus was an inspiration for short, poor structured New Jersey Italian bodybuilders everywhere

Dude was fucking tiny, and a lot of his poses absolutely sucked. 

Shitty FDB, shitty lat spreads.  I think that the ab-'n-thigh was his best pose, and even that wasn't great.  Haney brutally dominated him on all side and back poses.

He competed in a relatively weak era, and did the best he could with the hand he was dealt.  That is all.

Rich is still packing mass onto his nose, even so many decades after his retirement.

Gaspari was hot shit when I became interested in bodybuilding. Guy had a bulging (no homo), skin-about-to-tear look to him. His structure, etc. basically sucked, yeah, but he packed a lot of dense muscle, no question.

With what he had, he achieved A LOT.

Hat off to The Dragonslayer.

Maybe he thought he was Robby so never needed to pay.  Not a big fan of Joe & Ben Weider but i can´t see them calling him a N****r so no contract.  great bodybuilder but i think he is bitter about not reaching the stardom he craved. :-\

well he won´t be invited again. Probably not worth it to visit him at Golds where he does his personal training.

It’s quite a well-known thing in the industry Robinson’s a thief.

Guy’s jacked wallets, etc. from the Gold’s Gym locker room. Shit like that.

I'm using the same drop set technique Rich is discussing and I got it from him.  Works beautifully and I'm able to build strength with it.  I'm also doing partials which I got from Rich and Jay.   8)
