Richard Gaspari wasn’t known for being the most aesthetic, instead, he brought a combination of gritty hard work and insane muscle striations, specifically the glutes, to become a Men’s Open standout. Competing in the 1980s and 1990s, Gaspari went head to head with mass monsters like Dorian Yates and Ronnie Coleman and was able to hold his own with his dry cut look. With his impeccable physique, Rich Gaspari won the first-ever Arnold Classic title in 1989.
