The Beautiful Tragedy of Rich Piana
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 08. 2024
- Rich Piana was an enigma. A man with a steely hardened physique and heart of gold. Despite his looks, he proved to be a perfect role model for millions.
From snorting supplements, to selling 5% Milk jugs and injecting oil, he was a man who pushed the boundaries of his own body.

So you used Rich Pianas death as a way to push ur Discord channel…
@@mohammadislam2324he used a video he made with the topic of rich pianas death you stupid fuc. Go jerk ur meat behind ur computer qu**r
Yeah give this guy money for making videos he lies in. Wtf lmao nah I’m good
He’s a sad yet realistic example of the extremes the fitness industry pushes people to. He seemed like a really chill dude though. He’s a true legend.
Hardly a true Legend. He took Roids. Cheat of note.
Fitness?
Not your fault thinking he was fit…bodybuilding is very unhealthy as done by Rich and his ilk and in no way can it be called a sport.
You take steroids by your own choice. The fitness industry is not binding you and putting needles in you.
Bodybuilding is not unhealthy, steroids are.
You don't need to take steroids to be a bodybuilder. However, if you want to compete with the best you would have to.
@@andrehorlin6420it’s possible to use smaller amounts with proper balance of hormones/diet/supplementation and be healthy
Everything was his own fault.
I knew Rich in the late 90's and I can say that he was one of the sweetest guys at the gym. Humble AF!! I actually still have one of the hats he sold back then under his brand "Beau Belle"! I packed it away so as to not lose it, and remember him by.
Sadly he roided and put many youths on the wrong path in the end :/
@@assasin19991999how wrong that statement is
@@alexanderredlin8493keep justifying your ball shrinkage bro, he’ll be remembered as a roid junkie who was too much of a coward to build muscle like a real man
It’s crazy how CZcams works , a couple of weeks ago I was getting rich piana shorts recommend, now everybody is making a video about him . I’m glad he was a real fun guy to watch
Everhbody was always making videos on him, and will carry on until we're long dead. You die twice, once in your physical form and once when your name is mentioned for the last time
People were already making videos, you just started seeing them.
To me he was fun fun to watch and motivating, he's always been real about all of it.
In today's world this is not common anymore.
Rest in peace big guy
Yes, but the opioids made him feel like it was never enough. But that day came where it was enough. Rip
He wasnt real about it though. Never admitted all that collagen/Pmma injections that made him look deformed or all the recreational drugs he was on.
@@ulosen lol like he owes you his drug use. He doesn't need to admit that to you. God you people are so entitled and weird.
Miss this guy, he truly inspired me to hit the gym. Still watch his videos today. Unfortunately Too much of a good thing isn’t always the best…. RIP man it’s a shame.
Steroids should not inspire you goofy this is not from regular workkng out
So your inspired by synthol hahahaahha..ok
@@oraleholmes1263 No, as they said its Rich Piana who inspired them to hit the gym.
@@lewbandsit is from working out. Steroids only boost hormones. They don't increase your muscles without working out. You can go try to do steroids right now, I bet you'll never get to a Mr Olympia body builder no matter how many roids.
@oraleholmes1263 naw, more like inspired by one of the strongest work ethics that he was able to become a professional body builder by 18. You can go do as much steroids as you want right now I bet you'll never make it to being a professional body builder.
I was too young when he passed, he inspires me to stay consistent in the gym, rest in peace rich
Peace
@@nibsvkh mb
Just don't spend more than 4 hours per week in the gym. Piana's 8 hour workouts are total bullshit.
@@sidgillespie5879 xd not for someone on steroids
@@sidgillespie5879no shit? 🤣🤣🤣
“I’d rather live 45 years as a lion than 90 years as a lamb” -Rich Piana
I’d rather have a big bicep than a functional penis.
He looked more like an orch than a lion though.
While I liked Piana because he kept it real this is stupid nonsense. Everything he worked for was for nothing dying so young.
@@crusher1980he will be remembered by millions of people and became so successful and inspired millions...
I think maybe if you died at 46 it might not be worth it.
He always said he'd do it all over again though.
@@danfors1333he looked badass... dude was jacked af.
He had major issues... no matter how "entertaining" people thought he was. He basically killed himself. Just for a few years of a "fun and luxurious" life 🤷♂️
It’s human nature
@@kennypowers1945 for stupid people
It was later found out that Rich had silicone all over his body, arms, shoulders, chest etc NOT PMMA or Synthol like everyone thought.
Still looked like an inflated man doll.. He had more of that than actual muscle
@@SadDad01you are delusional buddy don’t be jealous you look like shit
@@SadDad01nah pretty sure he was still huge muscular wise even without it
Source?
This was beautifully put together with the editing, narration and fact. I remember when I first started to notice Rich and I thought he was just some dumb big ass dude who lifted…
After listening to him and paying attention I loved watching his videos…
The man was damn near philosophical in training AND life- 100 unapologetically real and raw.
I truly don’t think there has been a icon and personality like hime since.
RIP Rich
“Real”…strange adjective to use to describe a guy that was juiced to the max.
Rich obviously had body dysmorphia…sad his mental illness influenced others.
@@nibsvkh yes you can do steroids and be real. Nothing is "fake" about steroids. Weirdo.
RIP Rich, his role in Generation Iron 2 got me into lifting.
You know, i've never actually seen that. Good film?
@@bigcraigyt I personally enjoyed the series for sure. Just watched the 4th one with Mike O'Hearn, which was hilarious watching him claim being natural.
@@davidserenoMike o Hearn is 200% natty.
Anyone who thinks Mike O'Hearn takes roid is a fool. Clearly Natty. @@georgeforeman1097
Nothing beautiful about this tragedy. Just a pointless waste of a life of a guy who could have probably done more with his life that didn't involve a relentless pursuit of vanity.
What good is having fame if your not around to enjoy it. Id rather live a full longgg life.
You can’t tell a man what to do with his life. If he wanted to do what he did you can tell him otherwise just like no one can tell you what you want to do with yours
@@ville6515 I agree, but he basically killed himself. What good is his desire to be as swoll as possible now? And what was the point? Seems like a severe case of drug addiction/body dysmorphia to me.
Met him at the Arnold in Melbourne Australia. Really nice guy. Massive aswell. RIP Rich.
Very jealous. I can imagine hes a beast in real life.
Honestly I’ve never really got into the fitness world/industry until watching your vids, it’s really interesting watching people go from the top to the bottom in the matter of a couple years or even at times decades it’s also just crazy for me to watch such a normal people go into steroid abusers and such .👍
Appreciate that! There are a lot of life stories which I think people would find interesting, and many who had an impact which on the industry which I feel should be shared. Thank you for the comment :)
I really liked him. He was loud and cussed a lot lol but he had a good heart and he was brutally honest. He never promoted what he himself did.."don't do what I do." Large in life and personality I hope he rests peacefully in the big gym in heaven.
i had no idea he was 46. based on his appearance i always thought he was late 50's.
Lol I thought he was early 40s or late 30s in his 2015 videos
Why are you romanticizing his life? You're telling people not to use steroids because he's life was cut short yet you highlight his fame, fortune and empire from using steroids. It's like telling kids not to use drugs but also telling them taking it will be the best experience of their lives and nothing will compare.
Rich Piana was an inspiration to me. God bless his soul, I know his words have blessed mine
Let's hope he was the inspiration to not use any kind of steroids...
@@dedunx As big as he was, he was so much more than just jacked.
I remember the story was that he was smoking meth, his gf too, she was trying to rob him and they bought meth from big boy, there was a huge drama behind his death and idk why no one is talking about it now.
He had a great influence on me, I've come to realize. A very "real" person, no bullshit attitude which I respect alot. Everyone has their bad moments but I think he was a great person in general. Appriciate the video and the reminder of Rich. Thank you.
I honestly can't stand most of the "CZcams bodybuilder influencers" and the fake nattys - but I always enjoyed watching Rich's videos. I remember him towards the end talking about how unhealthy and uncomfortable he was walking around with that much weight and mass, and he wanted to trim down - unfortunately he never did and it was too late...RIP.
Poor guy. He was hella cool. God rest his soul. 🙏🏻
How is he a rolemodel though?! Seriously, this is not healthy, neither mentally nor physically. It's promoting a mindset of constantly needing to be tHe BeSt, whatever that means. Yes, it's good to challenge yourself and get out of your comfort zone, but this is no different from people needing the constant thrill of drugs to feel something. You wouldn't call a junkie a role model - how is this different?!
Rich never said he was doing this to be healthy lol. He was doing it to put on size and like minded people liked and admired his dedication even if they weren’t going to take the same extreme path as he did .
He’s one of the most insecure human beings to ever workout
Everyone who exercises ever is too lol. That’s the whole point of changing your body
@@kennypowers1945yea but you do it naturally like a man, there is nothing honorable about using steroids, and i hope everyone who does it enjoys their ball shrinkage and majorly decreased life expectancy
When someone says it's a baf idea to do something, but doit themselves, it doesn't hold much weight in people's mins. It's still preferable to the lies though. The perception people have of what is attainable naturally is way off now
It's sad and unfortunate that he used steroids for 25 years to reach the physic he desired and he died because of this, but I missed the part of how this was great or a beautiful tragedy.
People die from using drugs every day, I'm just confused, people dont normally glorify that.
I'm just finding out about him. Interesting guy.
banger bro
Cheers lad 🙏
N O T H I N G about this man looks healthy...🙄
Are you slow? Rich never claimed to be healthy, he just wanted to put on size and be huge lol
I love Rich. I miss him every single day.
Rich went from 18 to 33 in a single year
Dude helped me through a lot of stress so sad
4:25 Wish I had known of him more before he died. What a great and honest man, thank you Rich.
A poster boy for everything thats wrong in fitness
Lifting can become like a drug you get addicted it takes control of you.
Dismorphia been killing us slowly
And nobody checked the white powder ?
rich was an amazing guy its sad that there aren't more people like him. im also glad you didn't mention the sith lord who shall not be named here
Who?
Never understood why men want to look this way
Cause being buff is awesome
Insecurity I think.
Great video .. Honesty and thank you 💪
its a nice video man. i dont see any issues with it
Thank you bro!
He is a great example of not to fall deep into the fitness world. Too much is not Good. If you want to max out everything you will die early.
Once he went into that Synthol phase that’s where things went downhill and quick….don’t understand why guys would inject themselves with oil just to make your arms look bigger 🤦🏻♂️…I think if he didn’t go through that phase he’d still be here IMO
They believe it would stretch out your fascia, and would lead to more gains. I doubt that is the case though.
I respected him because he was honest about what he did and he warned younger dudes to be careful.
I tried his 39 hour arm workout. That arm disconnected itself from my body and proceeded to beat my ass😂
His opiate addiction is apparent in his eyes
I am a big fan of Rich Piana and appreciate all the videos he did where he shares important knowledge. I would only suggest that these videos acknowledge that Rich Piana was most definitely pharmacologically enhanced by PEDs. Rich himself was very open about it and even shared the actual substances and amounts that he was taking. He never pushed that approach on anybody, but it is sad to put people down because “ they are not training hard enough”. That’s actually disappointing. Rich Piana and many other pros do not achieve their respective massive volumes unless they supplement with PEDs. We’ve already lost too many athletes to the abuse of anabolic agents. Let’s at least be honest about this. All respect to the memory and accomplishments of Rich Piana. He’s someone who will be remembered as an icon of bodybuilding who achieved his goals in spite of the challenges he faced.
Still missing him. Rip uncle Rich. 💪🙂👍
Rich is the one of pple that got me into lifting in my early 20’s. Dude was an inspiration. I’ll forever miss the comment sections of his videos…
Shake time goddamnit
@@MypronounIsKing Right babe?
Sad
The moment you mentioned synthal I saw it right away. He did it done very very well, unlike the other cheapo examples shown, but the moment you realize he used synthal you can see the tiny patches in the exact right places that make his muscles look extra swole
It’s August 2023. It’s been 6 years. Rip!
Thanks for the video❤
Thanks for watching ❤️
Beautiful video.
Thank you 🙏
I’m just wondering if his girlfriend really believed he was snorting pre workout, or she’s just lying. Cause he was definitely doing coke.
I still miss him
Me to
Yo I respect for being honest and real.
Really good video, and the accent is familiar. By any chance, are you a geordie?
I am mate! And thank you for the comment :)
I don't doubt he told her he was sniffing ore workout, but that's simply absurd. He was on opiates. There are videos of him nodding out and his girl freaking out about it. That's how he hit his head. I had a friend die the same way. Did a few lines, got a headrest and passed out, hit his head, and didn't wake up.
I thought the exact same. Ain’t no one sniffing pre workout. Especially the amount of pre workout you’re supposed to take for it to have an effect on your body like 1-2 scoops in a shaker cup you would have to take many many lines for it to have the effect and especially is his body was already not being affected by the normal ways of ingesting pre workout like it was said in the video I’m sure he needed like 3-4 scoops in a shaker cup, sniffing little lines of it just would not have any effect what so ever. That was definitely drugs no doubt, but it shows you the lengths his wife would go to protect his name and image. It’s sad things couldn’t have been different. So many people love and miss him. RIP Rich
@@matthewla16 yeah that was Sara who said he was sniffing pre workout, she was always on bullshit. I wouldn't trust her
walter white in malcolm in the middle lmao
Baby this is just preworkout I’m snorting
Feel like a lot of people forget he was also addicted to opioids
He looked so healthy in the thumbnail
We were talking about rich and now we have lost another brazzaa rip rich and Joe🙏
He took roids
But he never let it feed his ego
Many gym bros in my country (Vietnam) have some level of respect for him
I hate the fact that steroids abuse is blamed, he was also a proud drug abuser and not his steroids killed him
Im no expert on peds but some people pointed out how the hgh igf 1 had something to do with his death. Regardless, everything probably contributed somewhat. foreign material pmma in his body, snorting pwo, eating processed food and drugs like you said
He was honest which is very rare today
Excellent work. I hope to make videos as good as these one day
He had a huge heart......Rest in paradise
Quite literally… rip legend
@@TezzyRswasn’t from a heart issue it was from hitting his head
@@kennypowers1945 what? Then what caused him to initially pass out and hit his head?
Rip rich. I think it was the Coke/pills mixed with various high dose anabolics for years .
Talk about a good positive man. Rip to rich man!!🤘🏾
the mother honestly looks like his girlfriend ngl very impressive
Edit: its either that or rich looks older for his age i think its both
That big dude on synthol was curling a literal pipe lol
we call it tragic but he knew what would happen, he truly was in a category of his own. we all have paths to lead and he knew his was sealed the moment bodybuilding came into frame. he lived as very few of us ever will.RIP
He will live on in our hearts and minds as a true badass and real dude
45 years he lived on his own terms. Fucking legend 🥲
Already 6 years!
Liver King: "$8000..lol you gotta bump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers." 😂
What a lengend dude should be here right now!!!!!
THE BIG BRO WE NEVER HAD.HIS DEATH WAS A SHOCK
I'm sorry, but role model? Honest? Fit? This industry is ridiculous.
So he gained it all from sticking?
Like most juiced bodybuilders, his heart was full of disease.
He was a disgrace to the industry
Hell of a guy and he always kept it real.
An icon in the fitness industry? Not at all… In the body building scene, perhaps sure.
His wife was crying while talking to him and she said ”I see it" and he was comforting her but what did she see? She said that she had never seen it before.
She literally said “did you take more than usual? What was it? Was it oxy or?? He was having an overdose
He was always puffing out of breath.
It was a given something wasn't right.
Big fan of Rich, still drink Kill it before every workout.
Thou Shalt Not Kill
Rip Rich :( such inspiration
No serious bodybuilder would tatoo over their hard-earned muscles
Rec drugs caused this guys death not PED'S or bodybuilding
Don’t do drugs be the best you can be!
Untimely death? Did you see the state of the guy?
larry wheels is the next rich…
Don’t know him but Rest in Peace.
Cardiac arrest and heart attack are not the same thing. Cardiac arrest is sudden and caused by an electrocardiac event and usually fatal. Heart attacks can vary and be mild or fatal, and usually caused by heart disease (which was caused by Rich's steroid use). Rich suffered a heart attack, not a Cardiac arrest
I like how body building is considered “fitness”, it’s actually the complete opposite, it’s unfitness.
When juicing's normalized for men and women
Your chance to survive is slimmin'
Piana knows
Anything goes
He said he tried and didn't like synthol, his friends said he used muscle fillers. Fillers are used by a real doctor after a muscle tear, He had a guy in Mexico who would do it cheap.
