- 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 RUclips 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.

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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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!
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.
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
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 😂😂😂💀
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?
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
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
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.
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 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.
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.
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
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

Jason Genova LIVES!
Dan Quinn JASON GENEVA IS A MOOCHER
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 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
Just gotya love how Rich tries to make everyone believe he's on roids.
gotta*
he aint fooling no one. hes the most natural bodybuilder ive seen!
Tempzz One My God you are a total fucking spastic aren't you? STAY AWAY FROM NORMAL PEOPLE FOR FUCK SAKE!
wanderingbumb you clown no one is talking to you scarecrow get your skinny sick ass in that gym 😂😂
Angel Amador 😂😂😂😂😂😂
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
What does Rich know about steroids?? He's 100% natty
0 % = steroid
95 % = synthol
5 % = workout

Didn’t ask
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
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.
He still lying he was on everything. His muscle never changed. He was jacked with synthol to.
Why couldn't he just take his own advice
Ikr
to late^^
it was too late
@@MsSonic19 damn bro never said better
He explained in one video that it was his choice to continue this route and was fully aware of the consequences.
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
He had his faults but he was still a damn fine human being.
Ban abortion
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.

rip rich man
They found 20 bottles of steroids at his house after his death

Finally he can rest and put the iron down
🙏🏻💯
R.i.p rich
Your inspired me to change and workout thanks
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
Dies 3 mos. later...Ironic...
i am angry all day without steriods..... I cannot imagine me being angry with steriods
Mohel, he’s not talking about that. People who take steroids tend to get fucking angry. Before I started, I saw my brother taking them and then lifting, and he was mad. He was really fucking angry every time he took them. Now I’m the same way, and I don’t know why. The testosterone makes you so fucking angry to the point where you don’t care. It’s weird.
Tren makes me so nice. Test makes me a dick.
Test gives me a very short temper and tend to be extremely aggressive with everyone. Im running straight dianabol in liquid form and winstrol in tablet form, no injectables this run. But ive definitely seen hardcore results in 17 days.

Got ya u really made me think I had a hair on my screen

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!
dont blaspheme God.
Same.
Zetoria don’t blaspheme Gods name. He punishes for that. No joke.
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.
I wonder how much steroids was he using to enlarge his heart. Damm
Rip
That's the thing with steroids every muscle in the body grows with steroid use, heart is a muscle which will keep getting bigger until it touches the chest cavity blocking the heart pumping properly.

The only thing your cheating when taking steroids is your own life and family that may depend on you especially if you have children R..I..P Rich if only he new when to quit
No
@Super Mario he had cardiomegaly and arteriosclerosis -> heart disease, I don’t think he would have made it to 60 by just dropping the drugs alone
If you stick with just test, you won’t go out like rich. Rich took it to the extreme
@@justin6434 he lived the life of roids, girls and drugs, i knew rich, and he went out the way he knew he would

So sad rip Rich

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 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.
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
I don't know if they should legalize steroids. But...How did Ronnie Coleman get away with working as a police officer while being up to his tits in steroids ?!
K Mitchell ignorance, denial, hes a good posterboy
US police tend to protect their own kind. Corruption at it's finest ;)

not to the same extent

Rest in peace Rich.
Maybe in some another life
I guess he left humanity behind.

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.

Broke my heart to realize that there was no way to get to that kind of conditioning (size) without the use of drugs. I mean man..it was up there along with realizing Santa Claus isn't real, wrestling is fake and that they killed off Han Solo in episode 7.
Mullcrum the Sage I agree
Mullcrum the Sage would love to be that size without the use of drugs
Mullcrum the Sage wrestling isn't fake. It's scripted. They still get hit but in ways to try and limit the hurt.
CliqueOverAnything Aka fake. Whereas "real" would be MMA with people getting the shit beat out of them and boxing with permanent injuries and a fucked up head after a career of getting your shit lit. So yes, it is fake.
Mullcrum the Sage damn!! Wrestling is fake? Now you're gonna tell me Castleberry uses fake weights?
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 …
7:55 so damn relevant to him now....
Kevin Putnam who is the pro bodybuilder he's talking about? or he's talking partly about himself..? i feel like maybe he knew that his days were numbered...😢
What a stupid comment. i feel like he knew his days were numbered wtf is that.
We can all agree the steroids weren't exactly helping him live a healthy lifestyle, but the steroids didn't kill him. He was using narcotics on top of his usual roid regime. They found opiates and coke in his system post mortem. The roids didn't help, no, but that's not what killed him.
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
This man is really honest and open. He doesn't BS. Much respect
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
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.
would've been cool if at the end he said "right babe?"
or confuse the body or bUsTeD cookie
Exclusive Motivation I'm fuckin weak
Exclusive Motivation he passed
Hahaha
Rich was a good man. Rip
His words are haunting in light of his passing, but this is the type of video everyone needs to listen too.
At least he lived life to the max.. I regularly come over 80 year olds still full of fear and with minds occupied with petty problems like "the paper being late last week", conforming robots of a society that value comfort and security because of what? The fear that wasn't real to begin with?
Wise
What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul - Jesus
Stfu thanos
Rich is in heaven telling jesus not to fucking talk to him, he is there to train, not to talk
@@RetreatHell518 😂😂😂
#TRUTH
Jesus had some pretty dope quotes
He makes a lot of sense about synthol, the "muscle" looks seriously weird more like silicon breast implants. There's no definition or vascularity and they don't expand or contact with movement or flexing.
The only thing I have to say is :RESPECT god damn!!!
Gregor Bgialas it
Sad watching this 😑 felt like he was talking about himself, rip
J M he i think he was relating the story of his friend to him he was willing to die for it to just like his friend
it the side of bodybuilding followers don't like to hear but yet they make millions selling you GNC supplements that don't do anything for you.
jbraxton11 sad but true no body knows the long term of these supplements
jbraxton11 whey bcaa creatine and HMB shouldn't be a problem, I guess you're talking about pre workout booster and stuff like that
Jeff Sol the first month in the gym was like hell after every workout.
Ordered HMB cause it was on sale and I don't experience that much of soreness.
Possible that it wasn't HMB , only my body gotten used to working out after some weeks
I just joined a gym. However I will never ever have anything to do with steroids. You are basically playing Russian roulette with your health. For me it boils down to Darwinism.
now, if i'm watching it my hart 's breaking off ......
илья винегрет bret hart?
Heart*
And now he's dead sucks man R.I.P 🙏🏽 Rich
His talk on synthol respect!!
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
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.
"The negatives gonna come back at you eventually. It all equals out".
Respect to Rich
He literally aged 10 years in 2 years. I think the amount of gh he uses kinda went the other way from the "fountain of youth" lol
Matthew gh?
Matthew growth hormone
ProfessorFilip Rip
Matthew I think it's the anabolical steroid regimes he's had over his life, gh is actually an anti-aging substance.
He said he has not used gh in over 10 years in another vid
these guys are like a guide, a guide of what exactly NOT to do
100%
Yes sir
The irony of him telling his story about his friend dying from cocaine and steroids is that is exactly what killed him. RIP man
😭😭😭
Yea minus the cocaine maybe
Shawn Sweet Yeah, he was on heroine derivatives instead 😦
+Shadowboxe Yeah man, I don't know if you saw the video of Rich recently of Sarah recording him overdosed on Oxy's, video says insulin medical emergency but it's anyone's guess
Jonny Bravo Yeah man, that vid was crazy to watch. Opiate addiction is no joke.
Sorry guys but when you look like a living unnatural action figure you are not impressing many people outside of the bodybuilding community. I some guys who use steroids heavily during the seventies/ eighties and they are now dead from heart failure and cancer. Yeah they could bench press three times what I could back in the day. But I am the the quite average looking grey haired guy in his sixties with a resting pulse in the mid fifties and has near textbook perfect blood workup numbers when I go see the doctor and still healthy. Nothing wrong with body building but is putting all that crap in your body worth the extra inch or two?
Donald Mosher no it's not I wish I never did it.
body builders are not known for being smart, look at the crap they put in themselves, most have massive egos and negative feels for themselves, i laugh every time i see an old body builder at the gym who has lost all his size, yet swaggers around the gym. they look like old donkeys in a field just pacing back and forth.........
Tell them!!!
Love him or hate him. The man doesn't lie.
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 🙏🏻🏴✌️
