Look who I ran into at a powerlifting meet

[Coach is Back!]

Despite the criticisms he's cool.

[The Ugly]

Despite the criticisms he's cool.

He certainly looks cool.

[Howard]

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 .

[Knooger]

I recognize Josh, who is the tatted up guy?

[SuperTed]

Yeah, he seems like a cool guy. Mentally fucked but cool nonetheless.

[oldtimer1]

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?

[James28]

Wonder what the average IQ (and height) is on that photo 

[funk51]

Despite the criticisms he's cool.

nice oils well that ends well.

[thegamechanger]

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

[Coach is Back!]

He asked my kid to take some video I'm assuming for his Instagram.

[The Wizard of Truth]

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

[The Scott]

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.

[hench]

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

[chaos]

Safe to assume Piana is about 5'8"?

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

[thegamechanger]

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

[The Wizard of Truth]

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

[Devon97]

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.
