Yeah he's gone alright. I dont wish ill to anyone and rip to him and best wishes to his family in such a sad time.
BUT
He abused, not used, abused for a long time. when he realised he could not compete at elite levels he went off the Richter Scale. He documented it online for others to follow in the last couple of years which is absolutely encouragement to others to do as he did.
The facts are, he ended up an over weight corpse with an enlarged heart, sucking back white powder with un-natural looks from the fillers and synthol etc. He looked ANYTHING BUT healthy and fit.
He was a bad role model, bad for AAS when alive and his death is bad for it all too.
X 2 pale. Cheers for being a good fair dude.
You handle your self very profesionally as does greg.
Giardap is controversial, we had our differences but we sorted and are cool, hes turned out to be a good contributor to the site, and we all say stupid shit sometimes.
I usually refrain from commenting back on negative feedback BUT in this case from this complete idiot, GTFO u Mongolian Klusterfuck POS.. Eroids does not need morons like u who gloat on ones misfortune or tragedies.. U have NO clue what ur talking about so enjoy the BAN HAMMER asshole..
Im surr you already are in some way (s) and yeah I like to think am! Through my business, also through charitable work, and helping with education for groups of my community that wouldn't get it otherwise, oh and as a father too. But that''s beside the point because what I don't do is publish bad advice to millions of people just to generate a following and subsequent sales.
Nah fella I won't keep it to myself. He put himself out there for cash. He seemed likable and relatively honest, but as a public figure he invites judgement. I judge him to be a particularly poor social media clown that should have been banned from the online world a long time ago. You won't see me being quiet about it or pretending to care about a muppet like that, dead or alive.
Come on man.This coming from a guy that was looking for volunteers to do an experiment on 19 nors?Now granted you didn't solicit cash,but I can't see how Rich was any different from anyone using his body to make money,like pro wrestlers,actors,fighters,and other bodybuilders.
Ah cmon Pale
You're telling me his money mad dangerous content aimed at dumbo kids was something we should ignore now just because he died?
He's in the spotlight now more than ever.
Any sympathy I have is for those he left behind and his fans that followed his cap advice
Not only is it bad taste your a fuckin idiot i doubt youve even watched his shit or know wtf your talking about you watch to much tmz
Based on your logic eroids is also wrong and full of "dangerous content"
Agree with gettingbig. There are lots of us that have struggled with opiates. There is a recovery forum here on eroids my brother. Regardless of my thoughts on Piana nows not the time. He may not have belonged to eroids but he was definitely "one of us" he just lived his life in the public eye. Us...behind our phones and keyboards
Lots of us here have struggled with addiction me included. No one is perfect we all have flaws its human nature the man just died show some fucking respect guys. You guys are good guys leave it be
I would say we all walk close to the line.I do agree with you though that he would not have made it on the forums.He had videos about DNP,slin,ungodley cycle advise ,pretty much every taboo topic on eroids,but he was also very honest about what it takes to get as large as he was.You can't do it natural,and GNC doesn't have any products that will get you there.He was also very approachable and wasn't a dick.He was a tragic figure for sure,but i agree with Pale he was one of us.
You act like it was Boston Loyd ..
call it what you want thats the way i see it i expected this from the "natty bodybuilding" community on fb test nation and the like but here on eroids i expected different theres many truths besides the stupid shit
I'm in shock. Rich has always been a huge inspiration... how can you not like someone that always has a positive outlook on whatever the situation is and he's just a motivator! RIP. He's looking down at us, at least he did what he loved
-whatever it takes
For me it was that he told the truth about how he got that size.Too many times we see these guys in Flex or MuscleMag,and they claim to be drug free and do it with supplements.Anyone who believes that shit knows nothing about body building.Rich was a horrible role model but a real person.His realness is inspiring,at least for me.
AnonVery much agreed
StevebThey found 20 bottles of steroids at his Florida apartment. They weren't looking hard enough.

Sooooo... whatever.
Dissapointing comments from you, i personally expect better from YOU.
Do not forget we are the number one forum/ site of its kind and what we do and say is the worlds influence in this field.
Im dissapointed with these remarks and i hope if or when darth allows you back that you apoligise.
R.i.p rich piana.
Later today and I hope he has reflected on it.
X 2 pale. Cheers for being a good fair dude.

Good decision again mate.
And I guess your so fucking perfect ...as Pale said ...get some fucking respect you piece of shit
I usually refrain from commenting back on negative feedback BUT in this case from this complete idiot, GTFO u Mongolian Klusterfuck POS.. Eroids does not need morons like u who gloat on ones misfortune or tragedies.. U have NO clue what ur talking about so enjoy the BAN HAMMER asshole..
Get off your fucking high horse and show some goddamn respect.
That was deserved. You would think he was there the way he described it. Sad really.
We really shouldn't disregard the blatant steroid abuse.. but I hope he's killing a 12 hour arm workout where ever he is.
.
and you're a great role model?
hope im like you when i grow up!
dude just keep it to yourself we are no one to judge on his decisions. get your own life right before you even go judging others.
Im surr you already are in some way (s) and yeah I like to think am!

nosympathy
Its not about sympathy its about respect for the dead and the family that remains
norespect

I agree. Now is not the time to talk shit about Rich. Like him or not he was one of us....
Ah cmon Pale
You're telling me his money mad dangerous content aimed at dumbo kids was something we should ignore now just because he died?
He's in the spotlight now more than ever.

It's not so much that your wrong it's just bad taste to say these things on the day. I know your a better person than that...
srt8calihe isn't one of us. we don't abuse opioids and we're all about safety here. he was anything but safe, in his doses or his life style
Agree with gettingbig. There are lots of us that have struggled with opiates. There is a recovery forum here on eroids my brother. Regardless of my thoughts on Piana nows not the time. He may not have belonged to eroids but he was definitely "one of us" he just lived his life in the public eye. Us...behind our phones and keyboards
Lots of us here have struggled with addiction me included. No one is perfect we all have flaws its human nature the man just died show some fucking respect guys. You guys are good guys leave it be
Your not the only one murp nobodys fuckin perfect and if not an opiate addiction it could be something as simple as gambling or women..
Damn right judge a man as thou shall be judged
Everyone has a flaws
The guy just died, the next asshole that wants to be an asshole is going to get a timeout. Show just a smidgen of respect for the dead!
I would say we all walk close to the line.I do agree with you though that he would not have made it on the forums.He had videos about DNP,slin,ungodley cycle advise ,pretty much every taboo topic on eroids,but he was also very honest about what it takes to get as large as he was.You can't do it natural,and GNC doesn't have any products that will get you there.He was also very approachable and wasn't a dick.He was a tragic figure for sure,but i agree with Pale he was one of us.
Lol. Speak for yourself.
No homo
Agree but its like that post the other day where people sneer and jeer at others misfortune and this right here is a perfect example of that
Thats nonsense.
It's not sneering to remember the truth of what he did online or offline.
You act like it was Boston Loyd ..
call it what you want thats the way i see it i expected this from the "natty bodybuilding" community on fb test nation and the like but here on eroids i expected different theres many truths besides the stupid shit

-whatever it takes
What was it about Rich Piana that inspired you?
The fact that he didn't give a fuck about haters and had the balls to step up and speak his mind
For me it was that he told the truth about how he got that size.Too many times we see these guys in Flex or MuscleMag,and they claim to be drug free and do it with supplements.Anyone who believes that shit knows nothing about body building.Rich was a horrible role model but a real person.His realness is inspiring,at least for me.
This is confirmed by his wife its true and my prayers go out to his family and friends
.
I haven't seen any credible sources confirm.just more rumours.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BYNONePDSmc/
Stan was one of his best friends.
Agreed, so far Generation Iron is the only source.
Other sources as well... Have confirmed it.
Still no official confirmation...
A couple of his 5% crew posted on ig.
Pale the whole web is talking about it. Im not sure why everything is an arguement here. What else confirmation are you looking for buddy.
It's Eroids, everything should be an argument! LOL
I've noticed and a few brown nosers
StevebIt's not the first time this was rumored but yeah it happened
Don't start whining, it was not confirmed at the time of my last post.
