[QUOTE="Scoundrel, post: 1126932, member: 8823"] I don't like to say bad things about someone who has recently died, but guys like Rich Piana are dangerous. They advocate (directly or indirectly) a toxic, unhealthy lifestyle. I'm not too knowledgable about steroids, though I imagine they're probably not good for you. What is definitely not good for you is overtraining to the point of looking like a Masters of the Universe action figure on — well, steroids. What bodybuilders like Piana do has nothing to do with health & fitness. These guys want to be BIG, period. It's as though when they were young the word "BIG" got stuck in their heads as THE way to be. They're fixated on getting huge — they're afflicted with "bigorexia" the way a girl can become obsessed with starving herself. I don't find anything inspiring about Piana. The best I can say is that if a man is interested in getting healthier, stronger, fitter — and yes, bigger — there are much better people he can find as role models. [/QUOTE]
