Rich Gaspari on modern bodybuilding culture: Today’s Bodybuilders “Always Look Like They Are Two Weeks Out.”
Rich Gaspari has been involved in the world of bodybuilding for majority of his life. Starting as an underdog New Jersey bodybuilder that eventually became the first ever Arnold Classic champion - Gaspari later parlayed his knowledge into a successful supplement company that still exists to this day. His finger is still very much on the pulse of competitive bodybuilding each year. With that - he's made many statements about modern bodybuilding that have become controversial. In Generation Iron and Barbend's latest episode of The Mike O'Hearn Show, Rich Gaspari doubles down on his opinion that modern bodybuilders don't work as hard due to a heavier drug reliance in the sport.

You two HIT the nail on the head. There is more talk about drugs than training hard! Keep this stuff coming 💪❤
Ya Mike never talks about drugs. That’s a huge issue. Especially because he’s on drugs and has been for decades.
@@Jay-js5ik😂
Gaspari intensity is unmatched and still inspires me after 40 plus years of training. He was always my favorite BB.
Mine too. When I want to crank up intensity I do a Gaspari workout!
Totally agree! Lots of people setting around staring at phones, no concentration on muscle and next set! Intensity is shit for most people! I’m 61 and still train harder than most of these younger guys!
Exact reason why I built my own home gym.
Rich is such an inspiration...he is da man! Thank You guys, for the interview.
No cap on this conversation love the issues you guys spoke on awareness and prevention. Being healthy isn't just about 1 thing we are all multifaceted organisms and need a balance of healthy eating/thinking (cause dudes do get depressed) rest/sleep, working out, and being productive work hard for the goals you want. I love the channel and the street fighter shirt is litt
Saying Mike o tren is really getting old . I really don’t care about it the guy is a fucking legend
Thank you.
Rich was always on point
Yep Mike said don’t forget to do your blood work kids
Modern bodybuilding is dead! The Golden Era and a few years after were the absolute best times to be involved in the sport. Back then the guys took drugs of course but along with that they relied on their hard work and genetics to make them champions, IF they had the genetics to be champions. Now days hard work HAS been replaced with rampant drug use and the sport of bodybuilding has been completely bastardized and it's turned into a clown show! Pro cards are being handed out like candy and the sport is officially a joke!
good take
Robby Robinson is a treasure, lol, guy is awesome!
Mike , Rich& Lee Lab training session 💪 👌 old-school training, old school mentality, Young at Heart ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 Mike is on another level.
Mike do an interview with Bob Paris. He was an Amazing bodybuilder
Look at dudes arms. He admitted he was 60. If you all think you can look like this at 60. Without being enhanced. I highly recommend you do your research. Hormones are the key. That’s how these guys get like this.
Yeah that helps....but the numerous years of training is huge.
Love listening to the podcast. I have to blame a lot training/ nutrition on Coaches with GenX . Alot of Coaches are Clueless
So true, the new generation has an issue with trash talking in the gym! I can tell it makes them visibly uncomfortable! I love it!
Have always wondered why people stop training. These two guys push the energy you need to stay hungry
i used to see rich iin NJ and he was ok, a bit stuck up and then Phil heath came in and blew his doors off- great stuff-
Awesome talk 💪So much knowledge combined 🥇

I'd rather see them take a drug test together.
@@JasonB666 🤡
Yo Mike I need that shirt! I have the boxer briefs to match
Great to see Rich G after all these years - one of the very best never to win the Sandow!
I would love to hear the OGs talk about caffeine/stimulants and their role in the industry and culture of bodybuilding and training. Were there stimulant supplements used 20-30 years ago by the goats? When did these stimulant products start entering into the bodybuilder world and what are the consequences? How much stimulant products do the OGs use/ recommended?
Yes, we had stimulants in the 80s and the big one we used was ephredra that they made illegal and it was awesome and powerful, we didn't have internet where info was at our finger tips like today. Infact we were really the beginning guenipigs and I honestly believe raw ephredra allowed us to do the most intense workouts and spot on focus. Infact the pre-work out drink we had was rip force and ultimate orange developed my Dan Dushane our steroid guru which also contained caffeine and ephredra and a few other things which made you unstoppable.
@@quantumfx2677 thanks for the info!
Omg lol I loved Ripped forced and ultimate orange I could work a full day come home go to night class and then train hard and intense after
@@aixasanchez4172 how did the use affect ur recovery ?
0:16 right about not eating enough
🔊*Baby dont hurt me*🎵
Damn, Rich hits the nail on the head, common sense!
I like when you guys talk about nutrition, like how many carbs to eat, that they turn into glucose.
So I want to ask, ¿ How a diabetic body builder know how many or how much carbs should be eating ?
I think that everybody have to know how many carbs they are burning in the gym for every body part routine or gym day.
But, I will appreciate if you could answer to my question.
"Carbs" = Tren
Good listen and lot to learn. If these two old oak trees were fuled by drugs they would not be here talking at this ripe age. They are doing things right 👍
It's a shame that a sport that is supposed to be healthy,...has become so deadly... because of the availably of drugs and the idea that this is the only way to build some muscle....even Dorian Yates said that no-- one that is not competing should take steroids...and even now so many are using TRT...(when there are many dangers taking any drug ..even under a doctor's care)...now you have over 50 year olds ,. thinking that drugs are healthy and OK when lifting weights.... it's disgraceful how many people are weak minded ,gullible,and brainwashed by a U-Tube society into this state of mind.There are people on PEDs in the local gyms that are not even lifting weights correctly...and are blowing up like a side of beef ..but look water bloated and have chicken legs.and crab arms ...what ever happened to symmetry,definition,and living a healthy..longer life
Mike's face and body is chiseled
Finally at 54 I did get a injury from lifting heavy squats and I am regenerating my disc back with peptides, Dr told me I am done and stop training like a 20 year old before the rest of you breaks down after a recent MRI he can't believe I am regenerating my disc and never seen anyone do that ever, My testosterone has increased my bone density, peptides are rebuilding my disc and I am in better shape than guys half my age . I will tell you my friends that don't lift have all kinds of health problems and they all look old for their age so lifting has made me younger as well as proper diet and I still have young women that want to hook up and I am old enough to be their dad. Also I don't see myself old and the brain is a powerful thing.
What peptides are you speaking of?
Yeah, what peptide
@@castlemagic4746 BPC 157 and TB 500.
This reads like it was written by Mike O'Tren.
@@tbird33mojolane He's full of shit.
Love the t-shirt 🎉
Not hating but halodrol 50 was pretty good supplement / drug LOL
Exactly, what a hypocrite he sold steroids at GNC and is complaining drugs are replacing hard work 😆
Hey Mike, what part of WA are you from? Washingtonian here hoping to compete for the first time in the next year, so been trying to find some shows to attend so I know what to expect. I didn't know we had any of the big guys like you here in good ol WA!
Stan efferding.. Phil heath .. a few more
Mike nodding when Rich talks about Testosterone like a naughty child that stole all the chocolate.
I took a picture 📸 with Richard Gaspari someone stole my picture 📸 with Richard Gaspari
Love you Rich! Legend!
Reminds me of the movie Soldier with Kurt Russell. The new kids come in with their modified genetics from drug enhancement and eventually the old school guy wins because he was trained the hard way and not grown in a lab…
I promise you, Mike O’Hearn is on more gear than anyone.
Why doesn't Mike ever look at the camera? Address us directly Mr Mike
Perfect !! WALMART
It must be hard work and nutrition without cardio, getting enough rest, and no drugs!
I hope in my next life; I become a Titan as well!!
A true God!
Mike calls everyone “kid” or “pup” even if they’re older than him. He probably thinks Arnold is just a kid
😂😂
He literally calls Robbie Robinson the same thing lol.
Gaspari was the hardest working man in the room, to compensate any genetic flaws
He proved that hard work beats genetics
He was the most dedicated athlete in nutrition
His mentality is still hard core
Nutrition guru
HAHAHA
Good one, Rich.
Only when genetics doesn't work hard.
I grow up watching Rich gaspari n lee Haney at the Olympia , my inspiration
can you ask frank zane can you still develop a great physique if you have shit genetics at the age of 50
yes
Truth! Today bodybuilders dont use free weight enough and rest to much between sets, bodybuilders die more today because of all shit they put in the body!!
Your breathing is super labored brother. I hope you are doing alright.
Take it from me I'm your age. Longevity and quality of life is very important. I'm still training and feeling the effects of aging. I still invest in my health just like you guys but I have a question for everyone. Are you investing in your Eternity? Will any of this matter when you pass? Where will you be when you enter the Eternal afterlife? Hopefully this message reaches at least one person. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things holding value for the present life and the life to come. 1 Timothy 4:8.
where is this eternity ?
Hey Mike you sould have Rich on here as a regular on the podcast, keep up the good work.
I know theres alot of talk about whether Mike is natty or not. But I think this dude is alot like Arnold. These guys train like animals and are disciplined. Arnold had a physique but despite what he was or wasnt doing his body didnt look like he was abusing steroids. Only that dude knows if he was using them. You can just tell by these dudes hair and complexion. Guys that abuse typically have thinning hair, terrible skin, and stretch marks from trying to utilize drugs over years of hard work, diet and training. If they are utilizing PEDs these guys are perfect examples that the years of hard work have been the priority over abusing the hell out of steroids
I don't think there's anyone that can deny the hard work, discipline, sick obsession of your personas. However and this is when it comes interesting, respectfully, I think any of you guys that look like that are or have been on steroids perhaps abusing cocktails of steroids. I am not judging I am just enforcing you guys to tell the truth about what it takes to get a physique like that and risks and dangers to be on treatments and diet habits. Let's keep it mind that people, kids are getting sick and dying because of this.
I think it is pretty clear to anybody with a reasonable common sense that how you guys look, intensity, strength and everything is not natural and only few want to talk about it. Most of you guys get offended and hide the truth.
You must agree that the topic is VERY interesting and a lot of value can come out of these discussions in order to clear the air and educate people.
It’s all about the drugs nowadays. Old school rules. Young guys are dropping dead way earlier on average than the golden age guys. That should say something.
Sorry but I like to work out solo to concentrate better 🙏🏿💪🏿
Great interview. I love these.
Because you are slow.
@@castlemagic4746 get a life.
It's sports science. They have given you the room to make excuses.
ment phil hill came to nj
Every video is a transcend commercial
Mike is the ultimate Chad
Whats bigger?
Mikes ego or Mikes biceps?
It all changed ,I call it 21st century bodybuilding
This has a lot to do with this overtraining myth that's why you don't see these bodies with his many striations is like you did when Arnold Lee competed excetera excetera
It’s not a myth lol. Especially if someone is using very little drugs.
@@dsiz9421 if I'm a natural weightlifter and I go balls to the walls you can over train even if you just go 4 days a week
Don’t give fitness advice if you think cns overtraining is fake
Absolutely spot on Rich. You can even see how it’s the new generation of drugs,,,the competitors all look similar.
They did a lot of drugs back then too. I think insulin an gh are the problem today
Oil , oil , oil that’s also what they injecting instead of doing the work it’s ridiculous physiques don’t not look physiologically correct , IE lumps , bumps , anomalies ridiculous
Rich still knows what he’s talking about though. Robbie God bless him is losing his memory or brain cells. He didn’t know anybody’s name he thought Chris Bumstead did the Arnold and said he looked bad. That interview he did with generation iron was horrible and they shouldn’t even have posted it. But you know generation iron, anything for clicks reviews, and they knew it would stir up controversy.
Great interview Mike! Can’t wait to hear from Frank Zane and you!
Y'all know why Mike is the best because he's worked harder than everybody else consistently for 40 fucking years man
Good one, Mike.
You are a literary a fake account meant to prop up Mike O'Tren. Too frickin funny!!!! 😆
That guy doesn't fit on the screen, Jeeezuz!!!🤣😂
“So if you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ-that’s where the action is. See things from his perspective. Your old life is dead. Your new life, which is your real life-even though invisible to spectators-is with Christ in God. He is your life. When Christ (your real life, remember) shows up again on this earth, you’ll show up, too-the real you, the glorious you. Meanwhile, be content with obscurity, like Christ. And that means killing off everything connected with that way of death: sexual promiscuity, impurity, lust, doing whatever you feel like whenever you feel like it, and grabbing whatever attracts your fancy. That’s a life shaped by things and feelings instead of by God. It’s because of this kind of thing that God is about to explode in anger. It wasn’t long ago that you were doing all that stuff and not knowing any better. But you know better now, so make sure it’s all gone for good: bad temper, irritability, meanness, profanity, dirty talk. Don’t lie to one another. You’re done with that old life. It’s like a filthy set of ill-fitting clothes you’ve stripped off and put in the fire. Now you’re dressed in a new wardrobe. Every item of your new way of life is custom-made by the Creator, with his label on it. All the old fashions are now obsolete. Words like Jewish and non-Jewish, religious and irreligious, insider and outsider, uncivilized and uncouth, slave and free, mean nothing. From now on everyone is defined by Christ, everyone is included in Christ. So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It’s your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it. Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing. And cultivate thankfulness. Let the Word of Christ-the Message-have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives. Instruct and direct one another using good common sense. And sing, sing your hearts out to God! Let every detail in your lives-words, actions, whatever-be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way. * * * Wives, understand and support your husbands by submitting to them in ways that honor the Master. Husbands, go all out in love for your wives. Don’t take advantage of them. Children, do what your parents tell you. This delights the Master no end. Parents, don’t come down too hard on your children or you’ll crush their spirits. Servants, do what you’re told by your earthly masters. And don’t just do the minimum that will get you by. Do your best. Work from the heart for your real Master, for God, confident that you’ll get paid in full when you come into your inheritance. Keep in mind always that the ultimate Master you’re serving is Christ. The sullen servant who does shoddy work will be held responsible. Being a follower of Jesus doesn’t cover up bad work.”
Colossians 3:1-25 MSG
yes the new generation really bad too much drugs
They use drug to, and was the drug even as today they do it even… hard work over drug use no, more and more chemical drug use but the same hard work… no hard work no payment for your drug use, diet and rest… you’re where great in your prime, but they are great in this prime even… please don’t feel you beter than the guys now… and I agree the mass and bubble guts are not oké … but don’t talk shit about a another generation with other juice, the 80 guys wil do the same..
For you, young boys out there who cares what Mike takes and if he takes anything it’s all about hard work
Because he's lying, using gear, and pushing supplements at Walmart. Next, he'll claim it's all thanks to raw liver.
@@JasonB666 I am Mike's age and when you get older you have to boost a few things to build and maintain and keep good energy for intense training. And keep up on your blood work. Yes, testosterone is involved as well as peptides.
@@JasonB666 These guys always follow the same path with the phony supplement businesses.
Everyone lies you can’t deny the man does not put in hard work and has insane genetics. No one at his age looks like that and if he has taken anything, it’s such a low dose because if he’s been abusing drugs for years, he be dead by now.
@@aixasanchez4172 he's a smart guy and wants to live long and healthy and should be respected for that.
Who cares if you are Mr Olympia or not your goal should be to out live your friends and look great at 80 and not in a nursing home.
💪❤⚡
Gaspari is pushing a lot of gear look at those arm veins that’s why he can push so hard. Not discrediting the hard ass work but come on your 60 pushing like your 35 cause the gear, mike as well.
but rich you cant tell me all yu guys never took drugs gees
As if this guy should talk. One the few nitwits who continued using into middle age.
Is Mike O Hearn on Turk?
Rich never won the "Title " because he never (took a short cut) CHEATED!
First of all Michael is 100% natural you can buy his testosterone booster at Walmart ..
ricj - you are now past being interesting- sad dude-
Mike , he's a self absorbed prick
I don't know. Mike looking a little chubby wubby. I think I finally look better then him. I'm also 50.
Are these dudes taking surveys on how hard people work behind closed doors or what. Both, in their prime, were abusers. Don’t let them fool you. Lol
