He had some awesome videos. Had that over-the-top persona but hated small talk and would talk about other subjects besides bodybuilding. RIP Big Rich

I didn’t ‘follow’ him but I watched a few of his videos back in like 2014. He looked like an absolute clown with all the PMMA he had injected all over his body. I don’t think he had any actual real muscles left.

Yeah he lied about a lot of stuff including synthol and not abusing street drugs

Had a close friend who followed his ‘Bigger by the day’ thing. He died of massive heart attack at 38 in 2015. Turns out eating 10 meals a day and taking grams and grams of anabolics isn’t healthy or sustainable.

You should have seen Piana’s drug stack for “Bigger by the day”. He was using 4.5 grams of gear, 10+ I.U.‘s of HGH, IGF-1, diuretics, insulin, etc. He was a ticking time bomb waiting to happen. Dude basically committed suicide. No wonder why so many IFBB pros are dropping like flies

I mainly would just read the YouTube comments on his video’s and not watch them. They were hilarious

And I saw one video where Piana took like 4 scoops of pre workout along with scoops of all kinds of other stuff. Must have been 1000mg of caffeine alone.

On the day Piana collapsed, he had been apparently snorting a “white powder” that his wife said was pre-workout. Which was bullshite, because he was a huge opiate addict who snorted oxy’s before fit expos.

His instagram was gold. You sent me down a rabbit hole. This is copied straight from his IG:

quote:

1dayumay A grown man who is SO OBSESSED with me (4 years now) worst than any girl ever posted this pic of me and saying I have butt implants! The pic is from over 10 years ago when I was competing and actually had great Glutes and quads and hams- this Pic was a dick pic I sent to a girl I fricked once in awhile named Amy who is also still crazy obsessed with me from 10 ears ago but somebody photoshopped my 9 inch dick off of the pic! How this person got this pic have no idea but the pic was about my dick not my arse! I wish I had glutes now like I did 10 years ago but I'm the first to admit I no longer have and arse or legs due to my knees having no cartilage. When I saw the pic I was like damn I use to have a great arse! Lol! My weakest body parts now are my arse and my legs but I have arse implants? I would be suing the shite out of that Doctor cause I have no arse now!! Now a dick implant that would make 100 times more sense cause still have that!! Also I have tummy tuck lol! That's a great compliment but obviously not true and many other stupid things! WHY DO SO MANY GROWN MEN BECOME SO INSANELY OBSESSED WITH ME?? #tamponboys #bitches I never understood scorn girls that are so obsessed and cannot move on and cannot stop talking about me but a grown arse man #prophetmuscle2 that's some crazy arse shite!! #inlove I iust worrv about mvself and people I care about and my fans! I'm here to motivate, educate, entertain and be the best that I can be! Hate is jealousy and insecurity which MOST people know and others will learn! Haters never hate on people below them! Haters Make sense its all jealousy and insecurity but when people (grown arse men) become completely OBSESSED that's some seriously crazy shite!! #obsessed #moveon #abitchisabitch #girlsgetapass #grownmennopass #jumpingfrom1nutsacktoanother #takeoutthetampon #getoverme #shouldhavebetterthingstodo #obsessedwithrichpiana #alwaysonsomeonesnutsack #cantdoyourownthing #nocontent #needhelp #imlivinthedream

So back in the day that ‘Amy’ girl would post on the getbig forums. She was actually Piana’s girlfriend not just someone he used to frick. Her posts were way before Piana blew up on social media and YouTube. Piana was a nutcase which should be obvious by all the oil/silicon he injected in himself. Dude was super insecure. I saw some interview with one of the circus clowns Piana hung out with where he said Rich supposedly wanted to cut his neck with a knife and get it stitched up to leave a scar so it would make him look ‘tough’

Rich was pure comedy. Didn’t seem like a bad guy he just had severe body dysmorphia.

Rich was also using street drugs. The amount of anabolics he was one fricked up his heart as is, the street drugs on top of that is what did him in.

Besides the ones being absolute morons, most of the bodybuilders dying are dying due to diuretic use just before a show

You should have seen the audio recording of when he threatened to leave Sara because she stole money from him. It was pretty crazy. here's the link to the recording on Youtube: LINK , it's 35 minutes long, and he just absolutely unloads on her

The ‘Amy’ girl said Rich maxed out all her credit cards and drained her bank account and left her broke. Said he was super controlling and jealous. I believe it. It’s like he used the Sara girl and Chanel to just have a ‘cameraman’ I remember one of them complaining that they had to hold an iPhone all day and follow him around. Weird guy for sure.

Man, haven’t heard that in awhile! BB forums used to be the place to be for me for awhile; 10+ years ago. Muscular Development was where I hung most. No idea if those forums are even still around.

I haven’t been on any of them since about 2015. Started on the old anabolex.com forum in 1999. Moved on to others after that.

I only really know him from the videos left from today.

he encapsulated that "monster big" look that never appealed to me. he just looked goofy at some points.

He did the same thing with Sara. She was living in florida when he told her to sell of her stuff and move out to california to live with him. If she wanted money, she had to go to him. He controlled all of her finances.

I enjoyed his social media and some of his videos, but I took them as entertainment, not encouragement.

He said in one video he would eat a pint of ice cream every night before bed I was like hell yeah!

I never wanted to be as big as him, but he was such a bro, I couldn't not laugh at his content.
