IFBB Pro Rich Gaspari Discusses the Differences Between Modern Bodybuilding and Classic Bodybuilding

[@paulharris3000]

I remember the 80s bodybuilders very well, and Rich was a MAJOR force to deal with! His incredible work ethic, discipline, and sheer determination gave Lee Haney many restless nights, to be sure, and motivated Lee to be his best.

[@hotwheel6663]

He is so right on incline bench. People always think going all way down is the right way but it kills the shoulders.

[@InspiredFortunes]

I enjoy this video. Straight to the point great tips and no goofing around.

[@GREGO-002]

We need more of this.

[@AGC828]

Great video. Lots or valuable tips to fine tune our routines for a "classic physique" which I think most guys want more than that exaggerated pro bodybuilder (of today...like Kai Greene) have. And the bloated bellies.

[@274norbi]

He reminds me a bit of Lou Ferrigno. BTW, why does everyone hate the old bodybuilders like Mike Mentzer, Rich Gaspari, Vince Gironda and so on. It seems every video I watch on KZbin about old Bodybuilders, the young seem to pay them out. Without these guys, we wouldn't even know what Bodybuilding is. Not to mention, they were more scientific with their approach, as the gear was far worse quality. They were far more intelligent and elegant as athletes.

[@Trendle222]

Yea totally agree man, Rich Gaspari first off had horrible genetics and worked his freakin ass off for years goin against Lee Haney, he is a real motivation to me

[@Jay0321]

The gear was pharma grade stuff... it was legal to get if you had a "friend" who could write scripts, while it wasn't open for just anyone to get, it was legit and they knew what they were getting. It wasn't until the BS baseball crap in the early 90's that it was put in the same category as narcotics and carried stiffer penalties and prison time, thanks to our politicians who like to regulate our bodies but still claim they want no government interference. Because of this everyone has to go "less than legal" means to acquire it and you don't know what you may be getting.

[@stind1299]

This is a true bodybuilder. If you follow his career you see how he changed his shape thru intelligent training to Win He was a beast in his day and had more heart than anyone competing then and now.

[@RickSanchez-yo7bd]

I feel like I could blind rich with a piece of dental floss. The squint is real with this guy

[@pablodiconio6699]

You read my mind, at first I thought he's stoned! His eyes are almost closed like a blind person 😑

[@jasonjohnson-vv9mr]

Its because he's reading an autocue.. He's doing well for over 50 years old.

[@Unknown-or6ey]

hahahahaha

[@network735]

Krombopulos Michael I thought he looked stoned lol

[@spanishh2001]

one of my favorite bodybuilders from back in the day...good info...

[@grimripa3]

This was bodybuilding! Not just getting big like nowadays... beautifying your body.... great vid! Love it! Thanks!

[@blairansellfraser]

Fun fact: Rich signs what's he's saying simultaneously. It's like doing an extra little hand and finger workout!

[@coachryan44]

same teleprompter as New Age Muscle vhs tapes?!? One of the best physiques ever

[@erikguerrero1915]

thanks rich!! Your videos are great!!!

[@gez1972]

Some excellent knowledge from a great golden era bodybuilder! Thanks Rich. That squat with the bar between the legs looks a bit risky if you have big nuts Lol....

[@gez1972]

Ha ha thanks man....

[@paulharris3000]

Excellent video!

[@stealthbombsmith7770]

Jefferson's are a great movement for the shorter guys

[@sansaoogrande1378]

Terrific valuable tips....thanks Ever Champ..

[@d77ion]

great tips from a real legend

[@ColonelJohnmatrix1000]

God bless this man

[@AngelOliva302]

Great Video! - Thanks.

[@DedricSilva]

Classic Bodybuilding is better because just like he said Flow, Symmetry, and Aesthetics. But it's also better because your fit and healthy and something Modern Bodybuilding dosen't have.

[@hirokakhand6584]

Stfu

[@ColonelJohnmatrix1000]

Legendary champion ❤❤❤❤

[@michaelangileo2760]

God bless you, Rich, and thank you. Would you consider aiding your hormone levels by including DHEA (50mg per day), Milk Thistle, L-Arginine and Fenugreek seed. I'm 61, and (praise our Lord God) I'm still performing much like my 30s.

[@dominicvasseghi4415]

he was one of the best Chinese bodybuilders of all time, he helped train Bruce Lee

[@harryo6126]

LMAO

[@angeldavila4669]

he sharts on himself at 04:40 lol can't stop laughing

[@Trendle222]

Legend here

[@earlreel7519]

The Golden Ratio??!! Dear God!!!! Rich Gaspari get fucking real!!! There is no such thing and NEVER has been any such thing!!!! Sale out!!!

[@network735]

I met rich gaspari, he was actually pissed I didn't want a picture with him.

[@Danimal77]

Okay there champ.

[@russclark2496]

Probably not the best spokesperson for this. He was a blocky as they come in his day. I get his point but like I said probably not the right person to explain it.

[@emirvrazlic6709]

rich gaspari is the best bodybuider of all ages

[@rtkl13]

Man the comments of so much experience is staggering. You would think that he was presenting this video to a bunch of Mr.O competitors. Sad to see the sport falling to a bunch of Instagram athletes instead of true bodybuilders

[@harleyshin]

What's with the mr mcgoo squint?

[@titus480]

Master!!!

[@mrahim826]

Waist 70% of chest. Dang, I'm doing it backwards. Back to the drawing board.

[@dockdowdell]

Always thought that him and Joe Pishcapo were the same person

[@tomscerbo1588]

No but there both Italian ancestry!💪🏋️‍♂️🇮🇹🇺🇲

[@jimmyj5035]

He got a Facelift boys... that's why his eyes changed... When they pull the skin tighter it can change your eyes/eye lids appearance... just look at the celebrities that have it too.

[@Danimal77]

Yup. Same thing happened to Gene Simmons.

[@dzmalekvali1110]

Good

[@theripper7675]

where is this gym?

[@gasparinutrition]

This is Rich's personal gym at Gaspari Headquarters.

[@corvaxiii4975]

and what does he mean by with on the biceps lol. a muscle can grow and shrink how it looks depends on genetics

[@alhassanait1749]

To demonstrate a movement its better to use light weights. Those your are using look too heavy for a demonstratin

[@mikehammer2408]

all about deception. appear larger than you actually are.

[@Viking-ou8fc]

I thought there was only upper chest and lower chest , no middle , something new in the human anatomy from a actual bodybuilder

[@angierojas315]

pullover press wow hadn't done that one in 20 yrs!!oldie but goodie!! I love it great video and tips thank you tons, 😘😘

[@mikenguyen2890]

Wtf, he brought math into this to sound smart. Dude, classic guys are just smaller.

[@jeffrey3498]

Calves, biceps, and neck.

[@markbednarski84]

The difference is sinthol and insulin.

[@xanthromera]

Bicep shape and peak is 100% genetically predetermined.

[@levantcofraznjiwe9799]

Thanks, those are the real dragon abs. Now a days you see steroids more and fiber less lol.

[@Th3MagicBullet]

Bodybuilders today have large bellies. More symmetry needed, !

[@sthr2110]

Why did it seem as though he was struggling with 135# on the incline press?

[@getoutmepussie]

haha wtf.. it really did

[@PatrickEvans-x1v]

St Hr dude he got a injury that destroyed his career. and never criticize a former Olympian contender.

[@TheLingnerFamily]

His shoulders and/or elbows probably hurt.

[@Mogh]

He had degenerative discs in his neck which caused some paralysis on his right side and forced him to retire from competitive bodybuilding. That was about 20 years ago and he's now in his mid 50's, so being able to do incline presses at all is good enough.

[@lucjanwilczewski824]

Beacuse the Guy is like 100 yo, still good video and it's really not important how much you can lift.

[@rocoroco5749]

fuk looked like he struggling with 135 lol

[@PatrickEvans-x1v]

Cardiel Orosco dude you will never have his chest

[@TheLingnerFamily]

It's called pain man. Bodybuilding at that level takes its toll. You pay for it when you get older. Look at Ronnie Coleman.

[@lizardsboy81westcoastshawn7]

Rich is turned into lou ferrengo 😂

[@j-uk2189]

All the gh

[@jamesvarnes3625]

Knows his shyt

[@rocoroco5749]

did he say he Dominated the 80s

[@bobbystanley8580]

Cardiel Orosco he really did. He just came in second and didn't get the same name recognition.

[@matthewcordeiro2073]

My junk hangs to low for Jefferson’s.

[@bobjenkins4925]

Nooooo the half rep advice on the incline :/

[@angelomanzi9272]

Bob Jenkins shhh noob

[@eminali9767]

1

[@stuartjohnston4044]

I RESPECT RICH AS A BODY BUILDER . BUT THER'S REASONS WHY PEOPLE DON'T USE THE JEFFERSON SQUAT ANYMORE LOL !!!

[@corvaxiii4975]

there is no middle part of chest lol

[@michaelkalil8990]

MR. roidrager there is 😂😂😂😂 upper chest middle chest & lower chest

[@zimbobwayricckkybobby9323]

What do you think flat bench works huh?

[@robaspinall988]

strange thoughts for you all for today .. a bodybuilding magazine editor has offered up a £200 reward for anyone who can help me achieve muscle growth .. if anyone is interested .

[@АлексейЛесуков-ч3ь]

His arms look weird as if he has torn biceps...

[@keithcee6378]

is rich sleeping?

[@azevedinh]

this guy is a troll

[@j-uk2189]

Palumboism

[@arthurstevens7447]

joke

[@Danimal77]

Yes you are.

[@johndoe-ie1be]

The BODY MASS COMPETITION / Open Class Mr.O SUCKS !!! GROSS !

[@Eletrekone]

Nothing natural about this guy.

[@commonsense2156]

weird bis

[@Danimal77]

Torn bis.

[@bigdaddyman377]

He has ropes in his arms and no muscle

[@TheLingnerFamily]

BS, they just didn't have the science then to get as huge.

[@PatrickEvans-x1v]

David Lingner go gym

[@TheLingnerFamily]

Growth hormone, Insulin etc. That's why these mass monsters are dying so young compared to the classic body builders.

[@robbiesingh4470]

is he blind?

[@yoadrian8496]

Classic bodybuilding: Steroids only!

[@spiloFTW]

why not just do pull ups old man?

[@Danimal77]

Why not just stop being a troll?
