Has anyone ever seen Piana step on a scale?

[Croatch]

Seeing his baby legs had me questioning his weight claims.  I doubt he's close to 300lbs.
Consider the consistency of pmma vs. muscle.  Much like a pound of fat is roughly the size of melon, while a pound of muscle is the size of a fist....roughly.

Please shed some light on this.  It's been keeping me up all week....GOD DAMMIT!!

Weight shouldn't matter in bodybuilding, the best builds of all time were below 250lbs. Samir @ 185, Reeves @ 210, Arnold @ 235, Zane @ 190. Why do these modern pros and unhinged gym rats take such pride in being 270, 290, or 300 pounds? Makes no sense to me when they look like a sack of manure covered in zits.

Of course.  I agree.
I'm just noting Piana's trustworthy tales.  Bbing is about proportion and the illusion created.  If it were about size, Knovak would be 8x Olympia.

Isn't it ironic that Piana preaches hardcore be whatever it takes, meanwhile hasn't trained legs in years, eats like shit, and feels accomplished by putting on size through excessive drug use?  It's odd.
Showing you can gain size on a big cycle is similar to showing how you can get fat eating pizza all day.  It's laughable...

The problem with Piana is that he's had so much PMMA done, it's now difficult to know how much of his current mass is real muscle.

The best Piana episode to never air is when he gets a scan of his body to show what is muscle tissue vs. pmma.  The next best episode, when he hits a quad shot in briefs. 

Honesty...love it kill it, whatever it takes.

Piana is fun to watch though.  I can't lie.

I've mentioned elsewhere I'm a fan of Richie, but I've confessed that I've not been able to sit through his 'motherf@#king transfor-f@#king-mation' videos.  At a glance, subjectively he looks, well.. a bit 'swole' now.  But I'd assumed he'd do a before and after weigh in?   Otherwise isn't the whole thing a bit directionless..?

(And based on his current appearance I'd love to see him do a BP test on camera - I mean he must be checking it regularly, right?  )

Well said.  And that's not "zits", it's "graininess".

Maybe knee problems prevent significant leg work.  I don't watch his vids, so I don't know much about him other than he's really big and his face looks like it's melting.

The density of PMMA is 1.18 g/cm³.  This is actually higher than the density of muscle, which is around 1.05g/cm³.  Fat, for the record, is 0.9g/cm³.

So he could be pumping himself with relatively heavy PMMA to get his weight up to 300.  What an absolute idiot.  

Also, he looks worse than shit.

His "leg "day"" in his recent video was a bit of a sad showing:

- Lying hamstring curls with about a quarter of the stack
- Leg extensions with the size of the stack not on camera
- Leg press with four plates (his wife used two plates)
- Hack squats with one (1) plate
- Glute-ham raises (no homo) with no weight

All done while wearing sweatpants and a tank-top

He's part of generation "no weight/grunt face/mind muscle".  Act as if you're training hard and go slightly slower.  When you lift pussy weight, you need to say something right?

Gyms are flooded with pussies these days.

Piana is pathetic and pitiful. Sad Piana requires a step down rather than a step up on a scale, so it is usually rendered in the minor key. However, this wretched Piana is not natural, so we must choose mostly from the accidental notes. Perhaps, then, from the B-flat minor scale, e.g., like the motif from the 3rd Movement of Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2 in Bb minor, Op. 35.

Yes, this is depressing Piana.

Fuck leg day. If you can't run 10 miles flat out you've failed at life.

Fatties.
