Reminiscent of Sergio in some ways I think!  5'11, and with arms the same size as his waist.  In my opinion, Rudy will definitely be pro sooner or later, and I'm thinking sooner.

So...is Rudy "Squad Approved"?

Whats the flaw keeping him from being pro?

[LatsMcGee]

Whats the flaw keeping him from being pro?

He doesn't have a wide enough waist and he doesn't look months away from death.

[Matt C]

He doesn't have a wide enough waist and he doesn't look months away from death.

LOL!!!

For real, Rudy is a very complete bodybuilder - he has flaws, but so does every bodybuilder.  If he hits his peak perfectly at any pro qualifier, he will be pro.

[GHGut]

Only thing holding him back is he doen't hit the conditioning the judges want. Rudy is an awesome bodybuilder and good man.

[njflex]

he also posts from time to time here,big dude.

Rudy is a solid BB, but I don't think his arms have hit 38 inches yet.

[pumpher]

No offense, but I don't think he resembles Serge at all - except for skin colour

[Livewire]

He doesn't have a wide enough waist and he doesn't look months away from death.

Brutal Branch Warrenism

[affy]

holy shit

a brotha with calves!!

[Mars]

Great physique.

[michael arvilla]

Great physique

Imo Sergio was one in a billion......this guy does not remind me of Sergio in any way


(not a knock on the guy,Sergio had that ultra tiny waist,and arms from another planet!)

[Matt C]

Rudy is a solid BB, but I don't think his arms have hit 38 inches yet.

Neither has Rudy's waist. 

[SWOLETRAIN]

He's freskin huge

[rudylrichards]

Rudy is a solid BB, but I don't think his arms have hit 38 inches yet.

Actually that would be 42 inches to match up with my waist Mr Ed

thanks for the compliment mike. I agree with you, Sergio is truly one of a kind

[rudylrichards]

Thanks for the compliment guys.  Adrea, my conditioning has kept me back in the past.  I know this is so cliche, but this will be the best i've ever looked and conditioning won't be a factor this time.

Special Ed, a joke's funnier when there's some truth to it.  Look at my waist in the pics, you comment made no sense. I know you try to be funny in everything you do.  Not mad at you I expect criticism (or i wouldn't be on getbig), just trying to help a brother out, you seem to have lost some of your comedic touch a bit 

Please get back to being the funny guy you were, I enjoyed you top ten lists and most of you other work.

[michael arvilla]

thanks for the compliment mike. I agree with you, Sergio is truly one of a kind

No problem Rudy (like i stated you yourself are a great bodybuilder soon to be pro!)

[Bast000]

mediocre shape.

[sgt. d]

Get this man some stars ron

[Stavios]

Great guy from what I can see when he post here !

he just need more detail/condition, a more "polished" look

he has all the tools !

Rudy,

You obviously love bodybuilding and a good joke, which is an unstoppable combination. Dude, you're a monster and you've got loads of perseverance competing on a national level for the 9th consecutive year, but you'd be better off focusing on your awesome gym and developing other businesses than continuing to kill yourself trying to win a pro card. 

In the meantime, here is a Top Ten just for you

TOP TEN REASONS RUDY RICHARDS WON'T GET HIS PRO CARD THIS YEAR

1. ROBERT "ABOUT TO" HATCH

2. BEN "SHO' AIN'T" WHITE

3. EVAN "FITTY" CENTOPANI

4. JEROME "DA BANANA" FERGUSON

5. MALCOLM "WE ARE" MARSHALL

6. ADORTHUS "BADA BING" CHERRY

7. DESHAUN "RONALD MCDONALD AND" GRIMEZ

8. "SMOKIN'" STEVE FRAZIER

9. KENNY "NOTHIN' RHYMES WITH" GIPSON

10. RUDY "DON'T CALL ME MICHAEL" RICHARDS

Thanks man, You took all that time to make a top ten list for me, sweet.  Even though I appreciate it, I have mixed feelings, on one hand I feel SPECIAL that you'd do that, on the other hand, I feel guilty for taking your time away from doing other productive work.  Here's an idea, maybe you could submit that list to MD for $2,000.  That way I won't feel guilty  .   I mean it's not like a David letterman list of some unknown like that, it's a special ed list.  may you could put it up for auction   

[Mars]

As one of the founding fathers of The Squad i label this young man as Squad Approved. from now on everything will change for this athlete. thank god we saved you from that dark and disgusting gay for pay world.

[Special Ed]

You're welcome...that took a lot of time away from my sleep, but as Bon Jovi said, "I'll sleep when I'm dead."  As for submissions to MD, I think they capped my pay at $500, which is $500 more than the 7th place finisher gets at the USA's! It's all good though. No knock on your physique...I know most people can never attain your level of muscularity and condition. I just hate to see nice guys like you put so much time and effort into something they get very little out of. No hard feelings.

P.S. What size jeans do you wear? I've lost some weight and my 38s don't fit anymore.
