from what I've read past few days he had a OD but I never saw what. RIP 2 BB's in a week. damn.

He's been in a coma for a couple of weeks according to FB.

He has. They induced a coma after he supposedly fell or passed out while his girl was cutting his hair and hit his head a couple weeks ago. No idea if that's what really happened but that's the story his people are going with. May be more to it, I'm guessing, but who knows.

Dallas passing is extra sad. 26 years old and seemed like just a super nice guy. Really unfortunate. My heart goes out to both mens family and friends.

Rough week for the bodybuilding community this week.

Dave Polumbo is saying Rich had a heart attack initially, which caused his fall.

Supposedly there was a white powder substance on the table...

 

[MattyIce]

Supposedly it was methadone pills chopped up

methadone pills? that's weird

I met Rich two different times. I have a huge blown up pic with him in my basement. He was one of the nicest guys in the game. Rich could talk your ear off and never hurried you because there were more people in line.

Yeah hmm methadone is a reddish pink I've never seen it white before even crushed up

I've never been a fan of Rich because of how he comes across in all his videos, which to me is everything negative and stereotypical of a middle age gym bro that never out grew his 20's. However, nearly everyone says that in real life he is actually a nice guy that loves his fans.

What I found rather ridiculous was how everyone jumped on him for his racist comments he made during that phone call a decade ago. To be clear, I'm not racist at all and comments like that are never called for but who amongst us has not said things we regret and didnt mean when very angry? I know I have.

It is my opinion and not based on any articles that the risk is high for anything to go wrong with our bodies while eating like a beast and taking heavy juice once we start getting in our 40's. I used to weigh 220-240 being at 5'8", and had to drop below 200, because my sleeping went to the shitters and my body had pain. I was not going to take meds to counter my life style. I think other 40+ can relate to me when I say I could feel something wrong and had to stop and reevaluate what I am doing at my age. I noticed in one of Rich's most recent video he went to the dr. to get advise. Even though we can drop dead at any age perhaps he did not feel right. Sometimes the smallest thing us older guys feel is a sign to take a closer look. RIP Rich. Nothing beats Inspiration videos to get motivated for the gym.

I agree with you. I think with some, looking a certain way becomes such a part of their identity, both with themselves and others, that the health risks aren't as scary to them as the thought of looking like a regular person. We all struggle with that to an extent, but at some point you have to be smart and make a choice. That doesn't mean you have to quit everything and develop a dad bod, but at least doing damage control by being conservative with the drugs and paying closer attention to things that actually improve your health.

exactly.. just turned 49.. early 40's was around 220... currently at 185-190.. feel so much better.. blood pressure lower.... heart rate lower... joints feel better, etc...

i'm all about that lean, ripped look. 🙂

Rich trained with anyone of any race. I don't even want to hear of any racist shit. It has gotten blown way out of proportion these days. The media sets it up that way. I don't care what color or ethnicity anyone is. I don't look at anyone differently. As soon as someone says something slightly off base, everyone jumps on it as racial now adays. ITs getting ridiculous. Put your big girl panties on guys

Totally agree. People can't say anything without someone being offended by it. That doesn't stop with race related comments either. People are far too sensitive and self righteous.

Ageed lith a rant different than how you lead your life
