The truth is, for highly competitive bodybuilders, everyone eats the same - oatmeal, chicken, rice - and everyone cuts carbs out at night.
— Rich Piana
I usually listen to my body and train the body parts that I feel are strong for that particular day.
I've gone up and down in my weight - I know my body. And for me, it's easy to go up or down.
You should build yourself according to your own body and be comfortable.
Bodybuilding is not my main objective in life. It's just something I do on the side.
My arms and chest were always the hardest for me. I obsessed over my arms for 32 years! I did everything to bring them up: for 2 years, I did mini arm workouts every night before bed!
Real food shakes. Those are my favorite.
The problem I see with most contests is that the people judging have never competed in a bodybuilding contest. I feel that to have the knowledge necessary to judge a bodybuilding competition, you must have walked in those shoes.
You need to be aware, educated, and willing to do whatever it takes to remain healthy and keep the body healthy.
I'm happy with everything I chose and happy with the way everything went in my life.
Since I train instinctively and listen to my body, I have no set routine. I very much train by feel.
I think the biggest mistake people make is not believing in themselves enough.
My shoe size - I used to wear a size 12, and now I wear a size 15.
There's always a better way to do something.
