According to his girlfriend Chanel Jansen, Rich Piana is alive and fighting for his life after a medical emergency in Florida this week.
“I will not be posting any updates after this until further notice.”
I just want to be clear (Rich Piana) is STILL ALIVE. All myself and his family are asking for is POSITIVE thoughts, prayers, and love.
“PLEASE i’m BEGGING you all to have some respect and realize how EXTREMELY difficult this is for us. Thank you to all of you staying positive and sending well wishes, prayers, and love. We appreciate it more than you will ever know.”
According to TMZ Sports:
Chanel Jansen administered CPR on the massive 46-year-old until help arrived.
Piana was transported to a nearby hospital where he was put in a medically induced coma.
There were rumors that Piana died from his injuries — but Chanel says that’s just not true.
We asked Jon Gatewood the marketing director of Rich Piana and 5% Percent Nutrition and he has confirmed that Rich Piana is in stable condition and improving.
It is still unknown what the direct cause of his hospitalization beyond rumors of overdose.
We will continue to update the story as more information becomes available!

“Rich Piana Just Posted His Steroid Cycle To Gain 30lbs In 3 Months”
Randy Michael had nothing to do with steroids but then again we need people like you to serve our fast good
Ha! Easy there, ginger spice!
Why do you care what another person puts in his or her body?
Who said I care?
This trolls are funny especially Randy Michael. The man fighting for his life and this imbeciles cause they have no clue or education want to blame steroids. Dude stop worrying about what other people pit in their body and worry about what other dudes might be putting in your girl lil man.
So many spelling and grammatical errors.
The typical cop out. You care enough to say something in the first place. You want people telling you what you can or can’t do? If you are trolling then you should seriously look at yourself & see what’s wrong inside because that’s screwed up.
Thanks Patty
Yeah pass that shit way of thinking on to your kid.
Praying for rich
Hope he pulls through and makes a full recovery.

Lets face it, after all those years roids. Medically induced coma…. Not looking good, not at all. May survive but training is over with roids.
You an idiot had nothing to do with steroids
Are you for real? steroids are NOT very healthy things to take 😀
And we dont know that yet, or do you have crystal ball 😛
Tero Syväniemi so are donut and unhealthy food but that doesn’t stop you smh. Stop being a hater and a hypocrite. This fat clown has alot of nerve. Get a life a Shut your mouth. You’re not a doctor or was there to blame it on Roids.
Really? And for your info i work in health department and i have seen what steroids do to human body. Hearts may grow as big as football. Hearts explodes etc. What makes you know how human body reacts to steroids?
Are you doctor?
I talk to doctors all the time. I work with them.
Tero Syväniemi hearts explode lol.
Kinda, ruptures… But yes, too much pressure. But hey Google it. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3330258/Former-bodybuilder-heart-exploded-15-years-steroid-overuse-says-s-miracle-s-alive-Spencer-Matthews-treated-addiction-drug.html
Funny how little knowledge ppl now days have about steroids.
In Europe we have this thing called school..
Stop blaming roids. All you haters have nothing good to say except gear gear gear. Maybe spend a day in gym and really train. You talk to doctors… the same doctors who use cancer as a business? Please. Do your homework before opening that shithole in your face
“Overuse”
Hehehe oh boy… “he same doctors who use cancer as a business” Well maybe in Murica, not in Europe. in here they actually care about patients. Btw did you know in here we have FREE health care system?
Not just taking them, abusing them is what get you in trouble mr educated
Ken Cunningham Well that Mr. Piana looks like well medicated? Right?
Agree USA health care system is absolutely pathetic.
Steroids are used as medicine.. That every school childer knows here.
He’s full of oil. That’s not all roids lmao. Also, taking them in small safe doses won’t have a COMPLETE negative effect on you. I had none at all. People tend to abuse the hell out of them and get all kinds of negative side effects. I’ve met people who took 3ml twice a week and had no bad side effects.
Tero Syväniemi yeah said overdose retard
How many bodybuilder takes them as “doctor’s prescription”? 0.001% of them?
Heres one more sad story, read.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andreas_M%C3%BCnzer
“Some of the specific autopsy findings were an extremely muscular physique with an almost complete absence of subcutaneous fat, a liver that contained numerous table tennis ball-sized tumors (with half the liver consisting simply of a crumbly mass that was similar to polystyrene), shriveled testes, and cardiac hypertrophy (Münzer’s heart weighed 636g; a normal man’s heart usually weighs 300–350g).[3]
Münzer’s electrolytes were also out of balance, and his potassium levels were extremely high.”
Sad to say but dystrophic multiple organ failure is very common on steroid abusers.
Why are we jumping on the steroid bandwagon. He could very well be using other drugs. Or this could be a suicide attempt. But honestly unless your a bored troll. The only thing we need to be doing is showing respect and hoping for the best. You can eat cheese burgers and smoke all your life but I promise you regardless of reason when it’s you in the hospital bed. People are going to be sad. Assuming family and friends. So keep that in mind. This guy had a family and so many fans. Come on people. Let’s try to be decent for once.
Did i say i enjoy this? no. Do not put words in my mouth, thnx.
I do know he has many followers who are using hes methods about steroids. That is something that isnt acceptable. May this work as warning to them. Yes Steroids have medical use but to use the to get bigger? That is playing with your life. I have lost friends to it and that is what i care about. People’s lives are at stake in this “steroid game”.
First this have nothing too do with steroids hè had a accident in home people always talk about steroids If someting happend,for me this people IQ is very low No make judgements If you don’t nothing
Did i say im sure it is steroids?. i said it dosent look good…
I am stating here about how steroids can harm you. If that is something you think isnt true the maybe it is time to back to school. That is what i am saying here. Sad that ppl dont read anymore, just see what they want to see.
“Law enforcement sources tell us … emergency personnel responded to a possible overdose call at Piana’s home on Monday afternoon. When they arrived, Piana was unresponsive and was transported to a nearby hospital where he was placed into a medically induced coma. “
Wasn’t that about abusing an substance? Or as you call “it” an accident? Like breaking leg? Or overdose of an medicine, drug etc? We do not know yet for sure but that is quite heavy statement from emergency personnel.. Hoping ofc that he survives that and stops abusing steroids and joins the ones preaching against it…
Its coke
Someone with such experience with steroids, i somehow doubt he ‘overdosed’ on a shot of tren. I have read he also has other drug addictions including opioids and cocaine. Which would be more likely, wouldnt you say doc?

Sugar & alcohol kill more then roids
Andy Boutsikakis yes it actually did. They either fucked his heart, or liver, or kidneys, or blood sugar, or blood pressure, or organ enlargement. Face it, Piana abused steroids, people like him give steroids (which are great when used properly) a bad name by mixing, stacking, and using too long a cocktail of steroids, growth, synthol, and insulin. He’s done son. He’ll be left with nothing but the synthol deposits. Mark my words. My wife is a doctor and I am a trainer who uses testosterone responsibly, you won’t see me end up like him because I obey my bodies limits. Train smarter, not faster.
Tero Syväniemi yes an artery can tear but your heart doesn’t explode
ignorance of roids is collosal
Nothing but love for Rich Piana. The guy is as real as it gets and a legend in my opinion so let’s wish him and his family well unlike this fucking Tero dude who went to Stanford, he says, but can’t put together a single grammatically correct sentence. You’ve never run a fucking cycle either you ignorant piece of shit so stop it with the “I work in the medical field so I’m a fucking expert on all things physiological” front. Rich Piana is a fucking stellar athlete and he’s in the hospital so all this gear babble has nothing to do with what the post is about. Either wish him well or get the fuck off your computer and go play with your light saber.
I have nothing to say against steroids , because I know nothing about it . But , I have eyes , and it looks to me that the guy was having very bad life habbits , without supporting these habbits with adequate training sessions . So why sacrifice ? Anyway , I wish him long and healthy life .
Prayers
My prayers are with him God bless you rich
Barham Kumar rich piano xarika amre
Bam dazew shta saqatana ?
abe har awabe
The guy will be on synthol soon as he step out .
You don’t get “on” synthol you nerd
I dont know about shit like that, all i know is Rich is on some unhealthy shit including synthol,he was well aware of hos health like we all were, and like everybody else, Rich knew that it was just a question of time before his ass hit the concrete floor with organs failure. Its been reported he was given Cpr ,and from what im reading, he is more likely to be brain damage . No symphaty at all, Rich is a poison for a lot of young people like yourself
do Whatever it takes to survive
Sending love and light big guy!!
Ben Wilkie sad day brah
Hope he recovers asap

Prayers are with Rich
Wish him a speedy recovery but years of putting chemicals into your body can’t be healthy.
Sending positive thoughts and best wishes for a speedy recovery..Rich was one of the 1st guys on YouTube I followed..I know he pumped himself full of roids but he also maintained that we shouldn’t take them he has over 20years taking them he knew what he was doing doesn’t make him any different from the next guy that does it.. watching his vids he seems like a really down to earth guy who knows a lot about the bodybuilding industry Mr California multimillionaire with a company that produces great products which I buy..I wish him and his loved ones well in this dark time..keep fighting Rich..
Let’s use logic here. Doctors put you into a medically induced coma to prevent further damage to the brain (ex: brain swelling).
What drug(s) cause the brain to swell? Not many that I know of. And definitely not steroids
You can be put in a m.i.c. for a thousand different reasons

Results of all them roids, this should be a lesson to all the gym brahs
Can’t believe how many people are blaming steroids. Okay – steroids are not healthy, especially in the quantities that he’s been using, but they don’t cause this sort of thing. This looks like an overdose of some recreational drug.
I blame creatine.
Fight Brother
I bet he pops pills.thats about all I can think of.or herion and I don’t think it’s that .
Simon Zimmermann
Can’t believe how many ppl think this isn’t related to roid usage or synthol or any other substance… You are in denial

I hope he will be fine. He’s a legend:(
All the GH combined with all the make up has fucked his facial structure to hell.

Patrick Riggs
Wesley Riley and the rest of the world the latest word is that Rich suffered a significant blow to the head, possible concussion, and the medically induced coma is standard procedure for such happening. When you weigh in at 270+ lbs, and fall you’re going to mess something up, just so happened to be to the head. According to @askbigfrank he is alive and on the mend. All of the 5% family is asking for positive vibes and well wishes for Rich Piana. This man means a lot to thousands of people so let’s keep the great spirits around, prayers, and well wishes in abundance. KEEP KILLING IT!! 5% Nation
