Not really an army, looks more like it's just barely platoon size. On the plus side, the beat at #3:45 or so in, is kind of nice.

Sort of comical how these over sized pretty boys try and replicate the hardcore biker scene look with this rip off 5% nonsense, wannabe tough guys at their finest.

No joke and looked so much better than those with PMMA and synthol!

Several things shocked me after seeing him at the expo and his seminar:

1. His videos do not properly capture how big Rich is in person. Rich has other large people is his videos. Seeing him stand next to average people is startling.

2. He is 1000% more popular that I anticipated. He had long lines at his booth all day on Saturday, and tons of people at the expo wore his gear. It's amazing how people can make themselves into instant celebrities from scratch merely by social media self-promotion.

3. He is magnanimous and giving with the public and his fans.

4. He does put his money where his mouth is by giving back to the industry by losing money on his contests.

I am not a five-percenter because I am lifetime natural lifter with no access to steroids.

With social media now, it's about the "image". Keeping it "real" is a misnomer, for it is the fantasy that is sold. So, it tells you a lot about the fanbase. Remember, Ritch couldn't get his pro card, and didn't have the genetics for big arms relative to his size, so he had to go the PMMA route, got the tats, and now is "known". So, basically he has accomplished nothing, yet presents the image that he is "something". Just think about that for a sec.

I can give him this, he has marketed himself well.

I started to write "Why all the hate..." and then I remembered where I was.

Key word there. Seems and is are two different things. One has to play the part and act like one is---you have a product and image to sell.
There is no hate. He captured his share. Getbig bags on Phil for acting like he does because he actually has done something. But, no one gives Rich the grief because we know he hasn't accomplished anything like Phil and Kai. This tells you a lot about his army and his followers. People who want to be winners so much, that they have to "pretend" that they are. And follow and try to emulate them.

This shows how great America is (or how far we have fallen). You can become a winner and earn money by pretending to be a winner.
