Ric Drasin Interview: Rich Piana’s Heart Couldn’t Take It | Iron Cinema 

Exactly!

Rich was great guy entertainment quality and just in general honesty really liked the guy may he rip

He wasn't honest about all the silicone he got injected into his arms, legs shoulders and back was he? You seriously don't believe he was all muscle😉

@@brendanbell4732 yeah I'm sorry. Rich lied a shit ton about what he was able to achieve even with steroids. He didn't get that big with steroids. Look at his actual bodybuilding career. That's the biggest he ever actually was with steroids. The rest is synthetic as in fake. It's not muscle it doesn't contract. Rich's problems were compounded by the fact he was carrying 40 lbs of extra weight that is completely useless, even more so than fat tissue.

Steroids will eventually kill you .

I still miss him with all my heart, He will be never be forgotten, athlete and gentleman.

You shouldn’t use heart references when it comes to Rich. It was what killed him.

when i see his videos , i just feel better, i have no words for him, i just feel sorry for myself i no longer can see him doing sports, going to eat, going to expo, learning from him being a human and i will always miss you

He smack dat slow guy

Oh the drama....he ran into the open knife (voluntarily). So cut that overdramatic crap. Seriously.

He played with it. Did drugs, did alcohol and did steroids. And he’s got issues with being smaller. All kinds of issues.

@@dannylin5980 steroids alone can lead you to the same destiny.. people love to say was the alcohol but it wasnt

@@cghiotto yeepyeep! Treasure your life and don't become one of these crazy people. They took the fall for us. Learn from it.

He was juicing his whole life too, he thought he did it the smart way but this is proof that there is no right way with steroids, it shortens your life end of story

Which is why I prefer a lean look for bodybuilding

Vinnie DeLuca well said, steroids are bad for you and thats it....didn’t know ric passed away too so Rest In Peace to the both of them

He had 1 kidney and got to 76 while doing steroids. I think if he had 2 then he'd still be here

@@matthewtonna1 what's this about steroids being bad

Rep In Pēāce

yeah definitely RU-vid really isn't the same without some stupid f****** steroided f****** Behemoth loser f****** guy who f****** lifts weights all damn day

John Wilson wow what a positive person

And what an idiotic role model!

@@johnwilson2284 must be tough huh

Stasiu. Hello. I am a fan of Rich Piana and never trolled or mocked him. But I agree. I think many fans just good naturedly mocked him. Imitating how he talked and such. But no real harm was meant with most of them.

Everyone except his heart, his heart hated him so much he attacked him

@@dbz739921 lol

It's basically like when friends troll each other just for good fun. People made Rich memes and had a laugh but most genuinely loved the dude cause you could just tell he was a good guy that really appreciated all his fans.

But the man did not love himself, several people have said, he did not seem happy, plus that bigger by the day series which balloon his weight above 300 pounds did not did him any good, add that Sara introduced him to hard drugs per his own admission

good at doing drugs

Pride. The greatest sin.

idk if he was a 'good guy' but he was upfront, honest and knew what he wanted from this life. if nothing else respect him for that

dru Stories I think in Richs case its not only the videos. Its his personality and honesty about what he was doing. He was just such a real guy. Sad that he died that early :(

get big!!!! eat food!!!! put more roids!!!!

Mac Truck mēēts PC Minivan: Dhe Unstôppable force mēēts dhe immôvable object

I don't feel a bit sorry for his friends and family but I do not feel any pain of loss. It's sad that his life ended while he was still pretty young. His company still had more potential to grow and his fans are probably gonna miss out on some things. It's pretty sad when you have to go without saying goodbye.

FukushimaInu ... very true

Not at all. kind of feel like im missing out on some amazing motivation if he was still here.

Gin coopland 100%

running, fast walking ?But how Ronnie Coleman save his heart ?

true for sure. But if your bodyweight is 300% your genetic limit, no ones heart can handle that

He did cardio

@@TheRealEffluence yeah, but he was too big to do any good cardio/enough to offset his size.

Яičh Comančhe is my favorite nâtural fêrtilizer

smithbobby68 rich was to big in heart deparment

Smart? Don't think there's any proof of that. The dude died from doing extremely stupid things to his body. Let's be honest here. I really don't see the smartness. He was en entertaining guy. An interesting dare devil. But not smart.

he had millions of dollars, a giant succesful company and a giant mansion, and you call him an idiot?, while I would never agree with his lifestyle ,an idiot would not be able to go as far as he did.

so you think anyone with money is smart. I guess Trump and Kayne West must both have IQ's in the 160's then. Money does not equal smarts. Taking roids to get that big is a mental disorder and anyone with brain knows your heart can't take that shit.

What smart person spends all that time trying to build a company and then treats his body like a dumpster, doing all the drugs under the sun ending up killing himself at the age of 46. Is that a smart strategy in your mind?! To destructively lead a life that contradicting is the pinnacle of stupidness. Btw, you are exaggerating Rich wealth. His California homes were all rented, he bought and sold used cars. Wake up kiddo, betta idolize someone smart instead. You seem very naive.

So long rich. And thank you for everything. He's not the owner of 5% Nutrition just a shareholder. His home was rented. The property portfolio he spoke about may have been a fabrication, a means to explaining his flashy accoutrements.

he was born with 1 kidney , died 4 days ago

Being born with 1 kidney doesn't kill you. What did?

Mark Richardson smh

He was really jammed up , he couldnt downsize because of the PMMA !!!! Plus all of the Tattoo's. He probably looked in the mirror one day and said"Why did i do this to myself" That led to the drug usage as a escape.

David Orelj Exactly. He would have looked funny with those oversized arms filled with pmma and s smaller frame

He was really jammed up. He did irreversible damage with that PMMA.

why he couldn't downsize because the tattoos? i don't get your point

He looks like 60 to 65.

@@mickythompson3807 It was only my opinion ofcourse.

ya maby just because he taking it. Joe rogan said it it brings you back a year of 10 maby more depence how your body is damaged over the years

@@dokterkarel its not that sorry i just never liked the dude ..

@Tim Allen RIP

Coco pebbles! Busted ! Cookie time 🍪 haha 😆 miss that dude !!

nEOn1nja, exactly. Rich was entertaining. He had a way of making you feel as if he was talking to you. That he cared.

Christopher Wood Honestly, I think that shined through because Rich really DID care. He loved motivating people who were hungry for success and he loved watching them succeed. He was a super positive guy and even amidst all his health struggles in the last couple years, he was never negative.

We need more people like Rich Piana in this world. Not less.

nE0n1nja summed it up well man!

Fukushimalnu....he said Ric, not Rich. Ric is known as the equalizer.

Isn’t that the truth!

Gladiator, one of my favorite movie quotes.

ventende muscle requires more blood and oxygen than fat.

ventende True. Loads of muscles require lot of oxygenation and that is too much work for the heart. That's another reason to stay more on the leaner side, even if you wanna be bigger.

Being very tall ain't too optimal either as that accumulates alot of weight too. There's alot of basketball players that should monitor their heart often. Being 211 cm / 83 inches tall can't be good for anyone although your fit. Very tall people that exceeds even that height normally don't reach old age. The ticker can't take it.

Don't be ignorant, Im Unavailable. Piana took off to Florida to evade his creditors. Everything he had wasn't owned, it was leased. If you think he was making money hand over fist, then you're even more ignorant than Piana was.

He was a good man. I never got to meet him in person. Dope cat. I wish he was still with us. I'd go to his gym just to meet him

@@ShinkuGouki Me too bro. Peace.

If you truly feel like that then you need to see a doctor

TO HELL RICH FUCK YOU

Thanks Ric Miss the guy.

Rob Stang I don wan him dead

Rob stang I know you're trying to imitate Rich's accent but It's spelt "GOD". State our Lord's name correctly.

TheBmwyallaa it's "spelled," not "spelt." You might want to take your own advice next time dummy.

ziggy morris Spelled vs. spelt In American English, spelt primarily refers to the hardy wheat grown mostly in Europe, and the verb spell makes spelled in the past tense and as a past participle. In all other main varieties of English, spelt and spelled both work as the past tense and past participle of spell, at least where spell means to form words letter by letter or (with out) to make clear. Outside the U.S., the two forms are interchangeable in these uses, and both are common.

youtube comments are the fucking best lmao

Sebastian Dangerfield I edited it. We natty now?

Are you high??

Sebastian Dangerfield who fucking cares who right's what if every one gets the point. Guess you think you are better then other ppl or severe OCD.

Sebastian Dangerfield Haha thanks for the correction. I initially used "would have", only after seeing the masses use "would of" I started assuming that was right.

Kokainuser Do you ever wonder why the most *content* people in life are those who evaluate on improving "themselves". And the most *discontent* are people who evaluate and make assumptions about others? You assume he was a wreckage of a man??? You didn't walk in Rich's shoes. You're not basing your decision on factual knowledge; you're just making the decision and believing it, as if it were fact. The problem with making these types of assumptions, and we all do it - myself included, more often than not, we’re wrong. Instead of basing our understanding of people and events on what we observe and what we know for a fact, we often prefer to make judgments based on *emotions, beliefs, expectations and wishes* Rich loved life...loved helping others...enjoyed pushing his physique to the limit. If hes a "wreckage of a man" that means all national and pro bodybuilders are as well. They consume tons of chemicals, battle through injuries, push there bodies to extreme and roll the dice. We both know that's bullshit. The only difference Rich was honest and open about his life. Unfortunately it made him an easy target "gosh damn it" Nonetheless - we can agree to disagree about what age is considered "dying young" Its relative far from absolute. Personally when I think someone is "too young to die" I always think about what might have been, what they could have accomplished if given more time, all the potential that was lost. The survival curve with various years, the most recent was 100% up until your 50s - then it drops very slowly, picking up speed at 60, although it is still about 95% at 60. However by age 70 it is 80% chance of survival. By 80 it is down to about 60%, by 90 it is about 20%.

Kokainuser ..It was definitely the case with Rich

HGH = STEROID too. Anabolic steroid is the main cause of heart failure. Tons of clinical research / studies on it. At least we know for a FACT that his body weight is NOT the cause of his death.

HGH?

Ozzy M it was his pizza delivery God dammit!

Doing bigger by the week strategies doesn't quite correspond with what your writing.

It's true, he said many times he wanted to get down to 240. But he always fell back into bigorexia.

Dan Conner This is true. He talks about getting down to 240 lbs here in this video around 10:00 - 11:00... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DVK22UNLS-g.html

that is April 2016, looks like he never got around to slimming down

logikek And it was quite telling when he says in that video, '... that's where I need to be' in April 2016, in regard to getting down to 240 lbs. So, maybe he was realising he needed to lose some weight.

Kyle Hirsh Very interesting. So you're implying accumulative contributory factors regarding his lifestyle have most likely led to him having had a heart attack?

You should copy and paste this explanation on more of his videos.

Ye tell this to ric coz apparently it's just the overweight factor n cocaine. Steroids m growth completely safe.

Kyle Hirsh Are you a real physician or just a RU-vid physician
