- IRON CINEMA - Every Monday we connect you with Generation Iron director Vlad Yudin. Get a first hand look at the entire journey of the bodybuilding industry - ranging from athlete interviews, behind-the-scene looks at major events, and insight into the Generation Iron Fitness Network‘s original shows and films.
When I started digging deep into the current state of bodybuilding to embark on Generation Iron 2 - I knew we had to dive deeper into steroids. Regardless of your opinion on these drugs - steroids exist in every sport and surely bodybuilding is one of them. Who better to talk bluntly about personal experiences with steroids other than Rich Piana - a TH-cam famous bodybuilder who always speaks his mind. Unfortunately, we couldn't fit our entire converstation with Rich Piana into the film - that's why I'm excited to release this segment of my interview with him where we really dive deep into his personal experience with steroid use and the potential life and death circumstances in the long term. Watch our interview above.
Bodybuilding, fitness, weight training - all on the Generation Iron Fitness Network!

RIP Rich
Love him or hate him, he was an honest guy. He's got my respect.
He was not honest with himself...and he paid the consecuences
@@thomasjust2663 Ur just a fucking hater who can't achieve anything in life
@Empor ! Whatever it takes its the mentality to achieve ur goal at at the cost of everything but only a true bodybuilder can understand this not a common man
@Empor ! That's the mentality to give everything to abuse your body to be the best version of yourself
I agree
"The negatives gonna come back at you eventually. It all equals out".
Respect to Rich
Stop alcohol
Is death better than your nuts turning from grapes to raisins and you can't get it up? Probably.
Jesus loves you
@@mrplayafication personal choice
Funny thing is it wasn’t steroids that killed him it was the other substances RIP
Another former steroid user told me the same thing Rich said but in a different way. I was told “there are no free meals in life, eventually you have to pay the bill!” R.I.P.
you god damn right
My
…..and if you can’t pay the bill the repo man will come collect. Believe DaT!! Acknowledge MEEEE! 😏
What bill
The “bill” means you can’t use steroids without consequences. If you use steroids long term there is a very good chance you will die and an almost certain chance that you will get very sick and destroy your body if you live. A personal friend of mine just died three weeks ago from a heart attack at 43 years old from steroid abuse.
The REALEST man in bodybuilding.
RIP to a legend
The REALEST dead man in the cemetery
@@paulcoote3094 internet bad boy over here. I'll put 10,000 bucks wouldn't say that to any of his family's faces.
@@BuddysDIY i will accept your bet. Who in his family do you want me to say it too.
@@paulcoote3094 you pathetic
@@theworldisimmense nah
Are you watching this after his death. The man was REAL, HONEST and he will be MISSED.
RIP RICH
WISE ARCADIAN stfu
WISE ARCADIAN did he die
batman ded
Abdelmelik Farooq Alwahid when he die last night was it not his dog that died
batman He died...wait...what? His dog? What? What are you even saying?
He died 3 months after that interview. RIP. A great man
@@AnDr3w066 slap boxing? Big fucking deal. Probably a high point in Jason's life, they squashed it
J.m.Robertsen. Some people just grace the world briefly,however they leave a powerful message.
Rich himself and others, such as john Lennon and bruce lee come to mind.
R.I.P❤
A "great man" doesn't destroy his body with drugs...
dying 3 months after interview doesn't make him great.
The more I watch him the more I believe he was a good guy. A good soul.
He was a good guy, one of the realest ones.
I started weight training in April. And started to follow the lives of all these body builders in the past few months. Obviously Arnold, Dorian, Ronnie, jay cutler and more. I’ve been watching Rich’s content for a few months now and I agree. I never followed his life until recently. Although he lived the way he did he was honest about it and that’s respect on huge levels. He was an interesting man for sure
@@peet404 yes he is like one of us.
Such a waste, a smart good looking dude who should still be on the earth. Life is a gift and meanwhile when it comes down to brass tax he was just a man walking full of poison. I say its not even close to worth it.
He was honest and that’s always good!
The trend these days is to enhance your image with every possible way in every possible sector. Your physique, your social media status, your relationship and working status, its all about titles. Wasting all that time forging your image means there is no time for you to be a better version of yourself spiritually. Your life becomes your prison and you don't realise it until it's too late.
Divide and conquer the masses
Damn, realest comment out there
Agree 100% Giannic RC
Indeed we are slaves to our desires..
Wtffff.... That was the most insightful comment I ever read on YT!
''Do as i say, not as i do''
R.I.P Rich, thanks for the advices.
It's bad advice lmao. Hypocritical lol.
@@la-li-lu-le-lo9444 lmao.
@@reddragon4482 Its actually really really good advise.. He didnt know back then what he injected and stuff. Therefore he's trying to teach other people especially the younger generation the dangers of these drugs.
Rich genuinly cared for the others even though he made some bad decisions regarding his own health. You have to look from multiple perspectives, if these guys never went public with this even more people would get harmed by this.
@@ExeQtd that's actually a fair point & pretty insightful, thanks.
@@la-li-lu-le-lo9444 yeah if you look more into his videos hes literally saying that hopefully people learn from his mistakes. If anything he was a very nice guy with alot of knowledge.
Damn I miss rich, most honest guy on the industry
@GoVir4l its a typo tryhard dumbfuck. Stick to posting dumb shit on your channel
@GoVir4l on the industry AKA he keeps it real about everything in the industry u dumb fuck
Yeah hes sitting ON the industry lol.
Gotta be a tall guy!
Gay. Lol
YA BRO....FULLY NATTY AF UP IN THE BIZNOOOTCH
Had the pleasure of meeting this guy. I'm not a small guy at 20 stone. But seeing this guy in person. His arms are just something you will never forget. Great guy too. Rip brother 🙏
Lol 20 stones was you as a small guy?
He seems like he was a really nice guy. I would have loved to meet him
This man taught me so much. His brutal honesty about bodybuilding, PEDs, and fitness. Rest in peace Rich. You achieved greatness.
Same. He also taught me to get big, you gotta eat big. Changed my life.
He had so much hate comments before his death, and now after he died the comments are full of love.. funny ppl we are, i hope this teaches us something
Sadly it won't
How its always is....like when an artist dies they are “everyones favorite” even tho they never cared when they were alive and less popular
Are you insinuating that everyone who commented the hate comments are now commenting the nice comments...?
Human being are a fucked species.
People want to help you when you are at your lowest. They are all sympathetic and loving.
When you are going well they despise you and won't help you go further.
Why can't people just be happy for others?
Of course within reason.
Rami AlHarthi
He seemed like a shady and slimy dude.
He's straight up honest something non of the other bodybuilders ever were I'm natural but I respect his honesty
Rob Thedon u guys are the same people who say Jason Blaha is honest. This dude is the most pretentious dude online. Fake plates, collagen, hair transplant, and make up. Just bc he gives his opinion with no filter doesn't make him honest.
Larry Medina are you able to back-up those accusations? Would like to see proof
Larry Medina so what if he had hair transplant he's rich and doesn't wanna be bald.
he also uses fake weights on his videos
Rob Thedon you dont get to rich's size by using fake weights buddy.
jealousy shouldn't make you bitter, use it as fuel to improve not to be a little bitch
there will never be anyone like Rich , so open , so careless , so educative , i miss this man and am so happy he still has a youtube legacy for us to keep him alive
Yes, very careless.
sam sulek is lowk the gen version of rich
He's a cautionary tale and everything he said was generally accurate. For a non science type, does a good job of explaining what's happening on a cellular level. Note, he didn't touch on the long list of recreational drugs he and others commonly use, but still a very honest discussion from him. He seemed like a good guy with a lot of demons.
Yeah let's hear what the meathead have to say what happens on a cellular level...screw science.
He was dead wrong about legalising steroid use though... I can follow his train of thought there but I think he's misguided. Normalising steroid use even more would not be a good thing
Absolutely. Easy to criticise but I just look at him and think "There but for the grace of God go I".
WillBrink If he was honest he would have came forward and said that 50% of his size came from synthol and PMAA injections
You ever on arf anymore?
It's so cool how this dude realizes kids look up to these guys and he genuinely cares for the younger generations. RIP brother.
If he truly cared about kids, he would have denounced steroids for everyone and not used them himself.
@@fruticetum agreed. Terrible role model but he did tell the truth, which is what made me watch his content
@@fruticetum Disagree. Steroids are fine if you acknowledge the risk of using them. Like drinking or smoking or anything else. At least steroids is to benefit your love of exercise and bodybuilding rather than being a fat out of shape loser like most people who die from heart disease, diabetes and health issues related to weight. The dude was wrong in saying let it be legal in professional sports but not wrong in acknowledging the effects both negative and positive. Also he couldn't quit using at this stage. He would lose his brands, sponsors, company, lifestyle, image, and most importantly his health cause he would have zero testosterone his he didn't take steroids. Steroids is healthy for men in their 40's and 50's who's bodies don't naturally produce those hormones anymore, and can keep them sexually active, healthier, stronger, and better looking. Kinda can help keep your 30's and 40's for an extra 5 years.
@@jonathananderson7990 steroids is not healthy for ANYONE. Doesn't matter what age you are. Acknowledging the risk only helps so much - you're still putting your body through hormonal hell at the end of the day. Do it THE NATURAL WAY. Keep that junk out of your body - please.
@@fruticetum
He did denounce them. He told literally everyone to not take them. Multiple videos out there where he’s saying if you have the choice to stay natural or take gear, stay natural. Only if you want to be a pro bodybuilder he said you’ll probably need to make that decision. And as far as him taking them himself, your theory is beyond fcking stupid. He wasn’t hurting anyone by taking them himself. You can’t live your entire life thinking “I better do everything right in case someone else’s kid is watching me.” It’s a personal choice and it’s how he wanted to live his life. He gave his two cents on how he thought others shouldn’t follow his path. If they don’t listen, it’s on them.
Watching this now that he's gone means so much. Its like he's talking about himself and giving that last warning before he goes. Don't do as I did kids. RIP
Rich even said that if he could go back before he did steroids he would still choose to use steroids, you wouldn't understand babe
@@spencrob vvvvvgvnvtgvvvvv
Whatever it takes
people still think that doing small dosages is safe , once you use it there's no way back
NollaGirl504 make more videos, yes you
Yeah I’m sticking to compound lifts and eating some eggs afterwards.
@@anonypersona3189 lol theres good and bad cholesterol, you’re talking about the cholesterol in eggs that are actually good for you. Drink pasteurized eggs at night and the cholesterol in those eggs are gonna make your test go up and that won’t be the only thing going up all the time.
@@anonypersona3189 thats bs bro
false
@@anonypersona3189 This has been largely debunked by science. Eggs are high in dietary cholesterol, which is essential for testosterone production, but do not have significant impact on blood cholesterol levels in the body. The significant increase in HDL (good) cholesterol from eating eggs may bring marginal increases in LDL (bad) cholesterol -- but a healthy male who exercises and eats a healthy diet is already at much lower risk for heart disease, so the slight increase in LDL is not impactful enough to limit egg consumption. The current scientific consensus is that up to 3 eggs can be safely eaten per day. A lot of the bad cholesterol from egg consumption is from people frying them in butter or eating them with bacon. Which is delicious and also good for testosterone in small amounts.
@@anonypersona3189 thanks mr encyclpoedia
This guy was absolutely one of the realist guys within the gym mainstream and his death is genuinely a loss to the whole game.
Throughout all the hate that is thrown at this guy, I cannot help but respect him for his honesty, he just says it as it is no bullshit, he's honest about his usage.. you don't get that nowadays, every bodybuilder claims he's natty to keep his sponsors or whatever... this guys is straight up different!, i'm completely against steroids and all that shit but I still respect Rich Piana,
I understand that, never claimed he IS a bodybuilder, however he is widely recognized in the bodybuilding industry... therefore he is able to influence many upcoming BODYBUILDERS...
A
P.S before this goes viral and shit i'd really appreciate it if you'd check out my channel! trying my best to get these GAINZ and hoping to help others
subscribe and all that shit if possible
he talks but Never Mentions P.m.m.a code name collagen
Then why you here. First off, the ones that hate him are trolls not real people. That is like 25% of the people that ACTUALLY hate his guts.
His shirt explains it all.
Preston Sanchez whatever it takes.
Ean Line right babe?
@@willard5705 right babe
His heart attack also.
Daniel Mesaros he’s confusing the body.
I feel I relate to rich not in the fact that I'm huge or anything but I love how open and honest he is about shit. He's probably helping save lives by educating young people
He ALWAYS used to say “I’m not telling you to do it, I’m just showing you what I do.” Like him or not he was always straight.
R.I.P
Fr gay people weird
Gonna feel so empty not being able to watch your videos anymore..... Fuck. This hit me hard.
Jason Genova is ALIVE. That's all that matters.
Dan Quinn Nobody Cares about Geneva the moocher
Dan Quinn He's Hated All over the Dweeb Jason..Shit of a body
Vinum yup I feel you
Same here. Loved his honesty. Never afraid of the truth. Roids or not, definitely inspiring.
You know, I know Rich gets a lot of hate and has a lot of jokes based around him, but I really respect how honest he is and just his outlook on the whole thing. I will definitely be seeing this movie 😎💪🏻
J
Christian Toth what do you mean?
He's dead now so no movie
Why would you respect someone who doesn't discourage people from doing something that's dangerous and stupid?
Quinn Coulombe He was a nice guy but not the smartest. Rip buddy
I just want to say how amazing this man is. His opinions and thoughts on this difficult topic are better than anyone else i've ever listened to. What a privelage to listen to this guy. RIP.
I remember watching his videos, just to learn as he had a lot of life experience as well as body building that you can translate to other aspects of life, RIP Rich mate.
R.I.P Rich ❤
Jason Genova LIVES!
Dan Quinn JASON GENEVA IS A MOOCHER
RIP Rich Piana...Most honest bodybuilder and persona out there. He stayed real till the last day man....gonna miss him :(
umad brah ...
I don't actually believe him on his modest synthol use, but he pretty much nails everything else.
Dorian Yates is also very honest about the sport.
User 1234 he was so real..lol he never owned 5% he was just the face of it
I got to meet rich In 2017 and it was everything I imagined, I remember the honesty I'm 6'7 and rich told me honestly I wasn't gonna be a bodybuilder but I could be a beast, now 65 pounds of muscle later I had a fire lit by this man. I thought about this conversation everyday for the last 5 years of training, I'd love to hear other people's stories who have met him below and what you took from the conversation
No muscle is more masculine than honesty and not being afraid.
And I respect that over anything.
Please kids, young men that just watched this video. Don't do this to your body, do not be the one that blows your heart out at 27 years old just to look a certain way. Train hard, love the gym, but respect your bodies and know that you will have a different mind set at 30 then you did at 20, or even 40 than you did at 30. You can blast me all you want, but if one person stays off this stuff, GOOD deal.
He's dead now
Richard Parker you're right man. I love powerlifting but refuse to take steroids in the effort of making gains.
Richard Parker blast
By Any Means pussy
Thanks man
Even though he is dead and gone, and the drugs that he took for decades are most likely what contributed to his death....
If you brought him back to life and gave him a do-over, he wouldn't change a thing. He lived his life the way he wanted, and he paid the ultimate price. Almost have to respect that.
Oh bro ur wrong lol
He’d come out n be completely different
@@Sambigs9112 Very hard to say, even though he has said in other interviews he wishes he didnt put himself in a position to have to take roids, he was so determined that he probably would have done it the exact same way and to be fair he lived close to 50 years of a decent life, especially after he broke through in bodybuilding
garn100 he’d come out n never lift his head off the floor praying to god
He cheated... Life, from taking him to a healthy golden age.
Na homies right he wouldnt change shit he would do it the same cuz he LOVED that life. Period. Nothing else to it.
Ugh, i really remember watching these videos years ago. Was super inspired by Rich. An amazing down to earth guy. RIP once again. Been an OG
Young guys don't listen, when I trained in Gold's in the early. 70's, Dianabol was readily available, I took it as prescribed, however my training partner took far more,. 2 years later he went back home to London where he lived, competed on the professional level with great success, subsequently developed serious kidney and liver problems and died in his 40's. Young men are easily influenced, older guys like me telling them to stay away from the stuff unfortunately goes in one ear and out the other. Total respect to all the old timers who pass along factual information. You did your best, Rest in Peace Rich
sad part about life is everyone got to learn for them self's ,its hard when you know how it went for some and you just want to help all you can say is i told you so
Man Rich sounds way more intelligent without saying the F word every 2 secs. Why can't he sound like this all the time?
Golden_Age_Bodybuilding agree..He does IT for the fanboys...He knows He is gettin trolled but Who does it for his trolls..He is a good guy and intelligent
RIGHT BABE?!
He does it to confuse the fans like you
Golden_Age_Bodybuilding because it's shake time goddammit!!!
CCR5-Δ32 😂😂😂💀
This is so deep now that he's gone. It's almost like he knew it was coming.
Tyler Anderson he did lmaooooo
Tyler Anderson did you not see how he ate and all the shit he used he was digging his own grave but atleast he lived like he wanted and he did whatever it took R.I.P
Once in a while I watch videos with rich in them so I can hear truth and not bs. Thx rich for keeping it real with us all RIP
His sincere honesty sold me on this athlete back in the day, I was driving a taxi locally to the hospital he died in. My customer was a nurse at the facility, told me they had a celebrity in there mits back when he was on life support. I hoped he would make it, he didn't. In my eyes, he's an educator where most people stray from, for fear of being looked at diffrent. I think he was a stand up guy and if I could id buy him a beer.
It probably needed 8 hours to film this clip but only 5% of the footage was actually shown.
Lol. Rich loved these comments
200 minutes isn't a lot of footage.
😂
@@bodybybobby9440 he always told me to eat more 😓
@@tylerdurden786 when did he tell u that
Ironic, he could save others from death, but not himself.
@Schwanzus Longus only through me can you achieve greater muscle gain than any bodybuilder!
Hypocrite u mean
Levi he knew what he was doing. he did this because that’s what he loved. however, most people are uneducated on the topic. he tried to educate about himself, using himself as an example and his reprocutions and negatives
lmao
Lol if the star wars reference went right over your head, shame on you for not knowing
He gave his soul and everything else to become what he wanted to be!! Fairplay to him for realising and speaking the truth so others get both sides of the story!!
I just found out about him today and yeah as I’m watching the video after seeing his last video…. I now understand why people respect him. He really is honest isn’t making excuses he’s laying down for what it is.
Damn …
He was at the point where he was realizing his time left was limited. He was regretting his choices. Stay natty kings. ❤
Rip
Naw
I dont think he was regretting his choices (since they brought him a lot of his success and he loved his life,) but was much more contemplative about his life as a whole. Youre right in that knew he was on a clock, he probably wanted to make sure he got his message right.
Rest In Peace brother.
Troy Vale tf are you on? Stfu
Troy Vale only God can judge and u ain't him joker
if he didn't care in this life about god of the bible who died on the cross for his sins , then why would he be with god in the afterlife
Glen Haywood a lot of people who come at people with the Judgment thing are usually people who are lukewarm Christians one foot in one foot out of the church the Bible also tells us to judge righteously it also tells me what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul Vanity Vanity all is Vanity heaven is real but so is hell people need to repent that is the truth and that is love
RIP man. Like he said,"everything equals out eventually" thats what exactly happened. In this particular interview he really went hard on educating the truth. Brutally honest guy
That quote was amazing, he isnt just talking about steroids, he is talking about life itself
Rich Piana was a true inspiration and a true person when it came to being a very real person and awesome individual. I still look up to him and all the professional and personal advice he gave.
Whenever I feel pressured and confused because of all the new information and modern studies regarding fitness and bodybuilding,
Then suddenly I stumbled again in one of Rich’s vids.
It’s like Rich is saying to me:
“You’re not lost my friend, you already know how it is. There is no secret. You just got to do it.”
Very sad that he died 3 months after this interview .....
his own fault.
derSpuk And Rich would probably agree with your assessment. He wanted to leave humanity behind, that was his dream, to ascend his body beyond the level of the regular human, and he wanted those of us lesser than him to... not exactly look up to him as a goal, but to aspire to be greater versions of ourselves. Like he said in the video, his buddy's dream was to be on that stage, it didn't matter if he was first or last. Just being there was enough for him to die happy, and the same could be said for Rich. If your own death is the price for a dream, so be it. You need to do what you feel makes your life complete. You don't let someone else dictate that for you.
Jack Doe beautiful
derSpuk facts he already knew what he was doing to himself
Just a little coke b4 this haircut. Boom, heart arrhythmia. If his gf knew CPR and gave it the correct way he may still be alive. He knew the risks but didn't care.
I'm not a body builder. I don't use steroids. But damn I miss this dude.
Stop alcohol
@@jasonmitchell6534 stop your mouth diarrhea
It’s nice that. It shows he has fans from all different walks of life. Not just bodybuilding
Same brother
Didn’t ask
There’s a lot of wisdom in this video. Every bodybuilder and aspiring bodybuilder needs to watch this. Rich Piana is a legend that died way too soon from the “bodybuilder lifestyle.”
Never been into bodybuilding or gyms but I enjoyed watching his videos for the information regarding the foods he was a very knowledgeable man easy to listen to and he was very honest about everything 🙏🏻🏴✌️
This video has so much more depth now that he's dead
samuel marsh so true
Was weird seeing this on my news feed, the title was confusing at first
6 feet now, approximately.
it highlights his idiocy
how, he made great points.
Your health is your wealth
PSF 86 correct maan
PSF 86 yes indeed, but there’s more to health than it is to just health.
We’re not immortal
Problem is that you never try this shit by your own. If nobody was taking it, nobody would think of taking it
Yeah but nothing wrong with dying. He’s gone. It’s ok.
I love, love, love, how candid Rich was. Never hid anything. Extremely intuitive, whether people want to credit him or not, he was. Also, had an infectious personality that makes you want to keep listening.
Rich was gone way too soon.
One of the few people I could listen to give advice for a long time.. we lost a true gem with this man.
His words are haunting in light of his passing, but this is the type of video everyone needs to listen too.
So surreal watching this video after Rich's passing.... "the negative is gonna come back at you eventually and it all equals out..." he was more right then he knew. RIP Rich
Joe Moore he knew. He always knew what would happen. Which is why he encouraged people to not do what he did.
I do appreciate his honesty. Like so many people that have left us, I hope you all Rest In Peace and put in a good word for us left behind that will one day follow you.
Miss Rich and his complete honesty. RIP, brother
The most honest bodybuilder, RIP RICH, you were one of the best.
It sucks that he is gone. The dude had a great outlook and was the first bodybuilder that I know of to use social media as a benefit. Take care of yourselves everyone. Rip Big Rich.
I love this man so much. This video almost brings tears to my eyes
And I think RP has done everything he talks of ... He is doing it at the point of this interview .
But he is hurting, slurring his words through this video knowing he did it all, and he is trying desperately to stop others doing what he is doing at this point
Respect to Rich
I miss this dude so much. Realest guy out there. RIP RICH
BirdsGuy01 go birds
He had his faults but he was still a damn fine human being.
Ban abortion
I remember watching his videos in my early 20s and he really talked straight and had a huge role to play in keeping me away from the negatives. Thank you Rich for all your knowledge you had such a positive effect on the world we all miss you look at this comment section. Never forgotten like a real legend
Rich, Thank you. I respect you for your honesty. God bless you. RIP my friend who I never met.
I miss this dude so much, dont know why people are hating on him! He was so honest and straight forward!
We have both pills for pain relief and steroids for bodybuilding workout available in stock

Omgggggg this is such an annoying ass comment. He literally pumped his muscles full of pmma liquid glass gel and wasn’t honest about it. It’s literally why his muscles are massive. He was super dishonest.
Doesn’t matter who you are or what you do. As soon as you say A there will be a hater saying B.
He never lied in front of media he has said everything what and all he did for bodybuilding 🕊️true legend RIP rich
Rest In Peace man, I admire your honesty and your integrity. It takes a lot of courage to say the truth
This man is really honest and open. He doesn't BS. Much respect
I feel like at this point he KNEW he was dying. He knew it was coming soon.
He pushed the envelope with bigger by the day. He started pushing it HARD. It is sad. But he is a legend. And will live in forever. #1dayyoumay
legend of steroids
Sad man, he lived the life of a king tho but youre right
11 more days...the 2 year anniversary of his death.
I love Rich! Flaws and all.
One of a kind! Respect...
Thank-you for being so honest.
Finally he can rest and put the iron down
🙏🏻💯
R.i.p rich
Your inspired me to change and workout thanks
I lifted weights on and off since the age of 14. I tried all kinds of supplements for bodybuilding for years and didn't see much of a difference. I considered taking steroids now and then but my needle phobia kept me from doing so. Now i'm 46 and from all the people who died from steroids or who lost all their gains once they got off of them i can say i'm glad i never took them.
odudi Run some test e as trt 250mg aa week. At your age, your test is low. As long you don't abuse steroids, than it's pretty much safe.
Good choice. Someone close to me started taking them at about 46 (mid-life crisis) He was dead by fifty. The roids contributed to his death.
And because of the intramuscular nature of steroid abuse its Foriegn Oil from a plant injected daily into your body with fake chemical T basically the heart has to pump it and eventually gets clogged or swollen from it and cant move right and keep rhythm that or liver kidney pancreas function also go a bit haywire. It's pretty wild ride n after you feel like poo for 3 times longer than you felt good for so for each month of good feeling 3 bad at least if not like 6 months bad for every 1 good month so you basically have to stay on them till you die or feel like shit so bad you stop.
Your friend didn't die from testosterone in four years.
I agree with you 100% been lifting on and off for 40 years give it a 6-year run one-time all natural I could only get so big and it's very sad really wanted to see how big you can get natural I figured the best way it is a smaller built with a small waist I have been 215 lb and built and actually looks bigger at 180 pounds and cut with a four pack
Finally..someone who talks the talk..open heart opens minds!
One of the most honest guys in body building. R.I.P. big guy. I miss his videos.
The legend of Rich Piana will live forever
Woll Smoth legend???...i think not...cautionary tale...most definitely
Legend 😮😳
thought your dp was a bit of hair on my screen i tried to move it lol
Got ya u really made me think I had a hair on my screen
This guy was too real, he inspires me a lot and I’ve so much respect for him, he’s been there and done that, he truly knows his shit
He's an idiot who understands he's an idiot himself. At least he got that going.
I could listen to Rich all day. 🙏🙏 miss his videos so much!
Miss you Rich you’re a legend with a kind and beautiful heart.
I respect his brutal honesty so much!! Doesnt sugar coat anything.
I met Rich years ago and went to his Wedding..he Was one of the coolest dude out there.. What a loss... R.i.p brother
It's great to hear someone like Rich telling the truth about the industry. I think the tide is turning now and people are starting to focus on health.
I just feels like he is actually being honest to everyone, telling you what these drugs are and how they work to make people aware of them if certain people choose to use them.
Those eyes both intrigue me and scare me.
They say the eye is a muscle, I wonder if the eye gets affected as well becoming bigger?
Patrick Sivertsen theoretically growth hormone causes membranous parts of the body, as well as bones, to enlarge slightly. Could be the growth hormone made his eyes slightly larger?
Growth hormone
His eyes were once brown, then one day they were blue...No one remembers though
It looks like he got permanent eyeliner via tattoo gun. I believe he also had an eye/brow lift.
7:41 Rich was talking about himself. Loading up on coke, steroids, and ephedra and dying. This video was foreshadowing.
... no he wasnt.
no he's talking about Dallas McCarver.... because he's never competed in Mr. Olympia
I suspect he might have been talking about Don Youngblood, who passed away in 2005 after getting dead last in the Mr. Olympia competition. Of course Rich was obviously in the same boat himself: addicted to steroids and stimulants and unable to give it up.
Dallas McCarver was actually an elite bodybuilder. He won three pro shows and never got last place at the O.
@@thekingofagony dallas did not compete in masters Olympia....
@@thunderchundering what is masters olympia
Rich is the man who gave me the want to in lifting to build my body better. His honesty by being straightforward and size inspired me. I really like Rich as a person.
Champion of a man thank you for saving me and my husband’s lives we forever love you
Can't believe he is gone !!!
It sucks knowing it :(
I used to watch all his videos
Grinder79 Aleixo Ikr. And he didn't even reach a million subscrbers yet.
I think he's there by now.
Watching this over 2 years after he passed and goddamn I miss him.
Yeah he is missed here too. 😥
Same here. Thankfully no one will remember him purely because of his death because he was so open about it all during his life. A bodybuilding legend!
