Big Boy looks back at the events that lead to a dramatic falling out between him and Rich Piana.
Big Boy and The Strength Cartel are still making gains. Both in terms of lifting heavy weight and in terms of their brand growing to new heights. A huge influence on Big Boy that helped inspire him to reach for such heights was Rich Piana – a man who inspired millions of people across the world and spearheaded YouTube fame in bodybuilding.
