2015 LA Fit Expo - The 5% Army storming the expo

seeing jj in the yellow t shirt is so inspirational no homo. makes you want to shoot 3 ccs into each glute and hit the gym.

[Coach is Back!]

There was actually a time where bodybuilding was dignified and had some class. These two and their followers are one of the prime examples of why this industry is fucked.

JOJ thicker than 1.5 Pianas. And Shawn Ray cooler than the other side of the pillow.

Very well said.

[_bruce_]

Pretty sad, I guess if rich Piana, not the poster, had kept it normal - just drugs and training he would be a pretty cool looking dude.
Don't get the fillers in the lips... is this some "hellboy prison shower" based character coming from Marvel due to pressure from the Obama administration...
Oh, and Rob looks more punchable than Brandon Fraser... which is quite an achievement.

[Thong Maniac]

Would never take a friend or family member to something like this, id be too embarrassed. They all look ridiculous and that hand shake forearm pose thing is out of control

[Royalty]

I'm gonna say two things. 1 bad and 1 good.

Bad: I think that Rich's tattoos are excessive and do not look good.

Good: I like the fact that Rich is smiling and having a good time. He seems to be friendly & approachable.

Like this Swole fat dude that had to come to the show in a tank top to show off is 16" fat arms

[da_vinci]

Which mental institution they escaped from? All these tattoos, just too much.

Lol.. a skinny guy rolling in with a bentley would make them all feel like a complete failures.

Rish seems to be a nice guy, I have nothing against him, just stating the obvious.

[Mr. MB]

I gladly missed the last two LAFitness shows. The people who buy the tickets have painfully extracted themselves from their home gaming and porn screens just to gather together like lemmings under one roof. The true fit are few and far between. OK there are some MMA dudes, MA dudes and cheerleaders in the mix.

The bodybuilding shows are also freak conventions, anorexic bikini girls who drag along everyone from their Facebook, wannabee muscle minions, and corporate supplement hacks.

Dayum has the sun ever set on our "sport" or what?

[thegamechanger]

have to disagree with you lot.

i think he's doing the right thing, he's spot on in everything he does. its not about competetive bodybuilding, it never was. it's about being a freak, a comic book type character and he nails it.

[syntaxmachine]

5% muscle mass


95% oil

5% real hair

95% hair graft

[WalterWhite]

5% real hair

All covered in shoe polish hair color.

[SuperTed]

LMAO!

[viking1]

Those arms are looking so weird.

[thegamechanger]

i dont get the percentage thing though
is 1% those who compete 5% those who use oil 25% those who use steroids 50% those who are gay or how does it work

[The Abdominal Snoman]

I believe it's 5% homosexuals across the globe. That's why Bailey is also in the clip...

100%. I don't get what's with Rich and DLB constantly trying to portray themselves as hardcore   It s lifting weights and dieting ffs nothing tough or hardcore about it.  

Arnold, Zane, Draper these fellas ( and others) did work and reaped a reward the joy seemed to be the process whereas the people in the industry today seem to be working out solely to project an image. The fact is anyone who is mentally stable and puts in work at life regardless of physical looks or income can see right through these goofs....

[thegamechanger]

it's a natural progression

bodybuilding has always been about vanity, look at me! i am special ! im different ! im stronger, bigger, better.

its just that today with so many people working out you need to go overboard to get the same effect

[pellius]

Seriously, all jokes aside, what does the 5% mean? Is it the bodyfat percentage you are striving for? That you are the 5% elite with big muscles and do "whatever it takes" kind of guy.

Just not getting it.

Piana is promoting the industry in a less than desirable way but he does seem like a very affable and approachable "mutant".

[WalterWhite]

Rich discusses haters.  His Phd in psychology comes in very handy.

Not going to click the vid, just want to remind you of the eerie similarity to Derek Anthony

[Never1AShow]

Chaka, go get Will and Holly.

[6 Reps]

I was there at the L.A. Fit Expo.

I thought Piana looked like a real idiot.  He may not be an idiot, but, he looked like every negative stereotype there has ever been about bodybuilders.  With his humongous size (which doesn't exactly look muscular it looks puffy), tats everywhere, and his hair, he just looked super weird. 

At least Coleman, Cutler, Heath, Rhoden, et al, look like normal people.
