strange chest.

[ChristopherA]

Must have been an attempt at a comeback? He was really done at that point and outclassed but he was only 33yrs old

[Rambone]

Rich competed for 5 years too long. His back looked like a fucking wet blanket

[sculpture]

He looks bad

I think I've even commented on that video on YouTube previously

Receptor blowout, torn lats

Still young but had been gassing probably since his teens

[ChristopherA]

So Rich was only 23yrs old when he took 2nd at the O in '86? Damn that's young. He must have slammed the gear at a young age to be blown out at 33yrs old. At least he spun it into a successful supplement company

Wotta` mess!

[JackTheRipper]

how tall was Gaspari?  he says in one video 5´9" ..  looks more like 5´7"
is he squeezing a couple of inches in there? 

[njflex]

Hmm...well, my height ranges, but I'm never taller than 5'9.3" barefoot, and shrink to 5'8.6" at night.

I did interviews with Rich just after I woke up. So whatever he is there at about age 50, it would be against me at 5'9" or maybe just over.

He may have been a max 5'7.5", rather than the 5'8" to 5'9" claimed. Then we all lose 1cm per decade starting at age 40. So there is a chance that Rich may be closer to 5'7" if he was originally lying about his height a bit.

I have a few interviews with Rich up on my channel. I changed my password as of Google's suggestion, and now they locked me out of it, even though I had the correct password, and even the recovery email. But my phone number since changed, so I can't get into it.

^ I'm a big Rich fan. His company had $85M sales at its peak in 2010. 

I agree that Rich went too far too soon, then burned out young.

That is not a Mr O physique. I often said Rich went the furthest with the worst genetics.

[oldschoolfan]

Rich does. Have chest bicep and cock implants now

[wes]

Looks like hammered shit !

[oldschoolfan]

Looks like hammered shit !

And his shitter has been hit a few times to!

[wes]

[beakdoctor]

It's hard to point to any one single weakness in his physique.  Alot of small tears all over? Looks like gyno too and of course his back was bad. Just a totally burnt out look.

In one interview he talked about an injury that 'forced' him to retire. I always thought he just got shittier and shittier and quit.

Btw he lost his company but bought it back. My understanding is most of the brand name supplements like Gaspari, Redcon1, and a few others all use Hi-Tech to manufacture their products. Many times the company accumulates debt owed to hi-tech and tgey essentially forfeit the company until the debt is paid in full. But Gaspari did get his company back. Hi Tech produces so many products for other supp lines buts its all the same shit. Hi tech generally has more active ingredients,  higher doses at a lower cost because they actually own the labs and facilities.

What I’d imagine his response would be

i thought that...he mentioned hard times in a video.  Did read he could be a jerk in the gym probably his early years

i thought that...he mentioned hard times in a video.  Did read he could be a jerk in the gym probably his early years

Trained at one of the East Coast gyms Rich trained at during his heyday (Runner up at the Olympia days).  He was in his early 20s at the time, and people would say things like he was cocky, etc.  I never saw that.  Rich was nice to everyone there and everyone was happy for him each year he placed so high at the O.

Fast forward almost 40 years…. Saw Rich in a gym just last week. Same thing…. Wasn’t fighting with anyone, didn’t hog equipment.  He appears to be a normal human

Happy Holidays everyone!

Lee Haney said he trained very hard rich literally burned out after his last runner up at the Olympia never placed high again in any show

[Matt]

didn´t he go bust?

He did in around December of 2014, and his company was bought in bankruptcy court for $10.1 million:

Then in either 2020, or 2021, Arnold gave a speech and mentioned Rich's work ethic, and at that moment, Rich knew he had to buy back control of his company, which he did - I think a few months later.
