He can sell a product better than most IFBB guys. I have also heard he is a straight forward dude. I will even say his videos are fun to watch...smh.

**Timbo89** · 12-15-2012, 02:46 AM

There was a HUGE thread about him on getbig and his ex was talking shit lol.. He came on very professional... He makes money from rentals in Texas, personal training, and residuals from a shitload of commercials he's in.

**AussieMuscle** · 12-15-2012, 03:43 AM

He seems like a really cool guy and from what I have seen about him he has found a lot of success post competing.

**gilbrt** · 12-15-2012, 03:45 AM

He makes more money then 90% of pros out there check his house and car collection

We'll find out what PMMA does in about 10 years. I'm assuming it'll look amazing.

**joe293** · 12-15-2012, 04:59 AM

I asked about PMMA in the "ask the DR" section here. It must have stumped them because it still has no replies.......

**joe293** · 12-15-2012, 05:01 AM

An for what it's worth, I like the guy too. Nice to see a guy with some personality. Someone said he use to be on the old muscle mayhem boards and would answer questions about anything. Interesting dude.

**joe293** · 12-15-2012, 05:17 AM

This is a thread back in 2010 on MD where Rich tells some people off including Shawn Ray. Actually pretty entertaining.

this guy has a really clear and informative way of speaking. I found the video really easy to listen to.

**nsp** · 12-15-2012, 03:29 PM

He's been around for some time now. I remember seeing him in an old 90's musclemag from when he did the California. I was really active on the Mayhem board back when he was there. Seemed like a cool dude. Looks like he's had some cosmetic work done on his face.

**Chapter 2** · 12-15-2012, 07:14 PM

Cool vids cool music cool guy to do the vids!

**ManimalPatB** · 12-15-2012, 07:59 PM

Most recent:

Back in the day on the stage with what looks like Don Long and Quincy Taylor

**gilbrt** · 12-15-2012, 08:21 PM

**chris250** · 12-15-2012, 08:27 PM

No, I think he has retired from competing. He says it in EVERY video he posts. He just likes being big and freaky and doesn't want to compete anymore

With some of the placings he got who can blame him. He is also pretty covered in tats now and a lot of stuff in his arms. More now than in years past.

At one level, what the NPC produces at the top of its heap is a lot of losers, because if you don't go pro, you might as well never have touched a weight. Piana is not letting a panel of judges tell him he's not good enough, & has figured out another way to exploit his potential. Good for him.

**Bdon** · 12-16-2012, 03:10 AM

I'm curious as well. I know that some guy in mexico is known for this PMMA stuff.. Apparently its like Synthol but a one-time thing and pricey. I wonder how much Rich spent?

It looks worth it in the future...

He's making Dave and now pro Quincy look bad in these shots, what happened to Quincy Taylor?

**billmeek** · 12-16-2012, 06:25 PM

is this PMMA actually poly methyl methacrylate, the polymer?

**Bdon** · 12-16-2012, 06:31 PM

I wonder how much it cost for all this PMMA work.

**DMX** · 12-16-2012, 07:07 PM

I'm not sure what his relationship to Dave or RX is, but it would be awesome if Aaron could contact rich and do an iron asylum with this freak. I know I've seen him on flex, but I think that more of a mutant thing. Just an idea

I think he has something with weider / AMI or at least Mutant supps do - his sponsor ...

**bigjavs** · 12-17-2012, 01:31 AM

cool vids but he kinda overdid the synthol, no?

Synthol ? Because he looks so full even when relaxed ? He's not overly lumpy or weird shaped ..

He's definitely not one of those synthol freaks but it's pretty damn obvious in his arms.

People are so naive about the use of synthol in bodybuilding. They think only people who look like Greg Valentino use synthol. There is an effective way to use it, like anything else. And, just like anything and everything else, there will always be those who choose to abuse it.
