The full uncut GI Exclusive interview with Mac Trucc.

Mac Trucc is a controversial figure in the bodybuilding world. Known as social media bodybuilder (who now has turned to competing and going pro), Mac Trucc has made headlines often in the past – many of them revolving around drama with Rich Piana before his passing. In the past few months we’ve released GI Exclusive segments from our interview with Mac Trucc. Now we’re releasing the full length interview including topics such as his relationship with Rich Piana, his gang past and present, drug testing in bodybuilding, and the current state of the Mr. Olympia brand.

Well, move beyond isn’t exactly accurate. Mac Trucc still associates with a gang today – but in his words he’s “no longer on the streets.” Growing up, Mac Trucc found himself brought into the gang lifestyle but saw bodybuilding as a way to go legitimate. In that community, his success as a bodybuilder is seen as something to celebrate.

In our full length interview with Mac Trucc, he goes into detail about his childhood, his gang past, and his rise through the ranks as a bodybuilding personality and athlete. He also discusses in great detail how he met Rich Piana, became one of the few people who were very close to him, and the eventually fallout that ensued. While Rich Piana was a public personality and watched by hundreds of thousands online, not many knew the real man behind the personality. Mac Trucc did – and he opens up completely about his relationship with the late bodybuilding personality.

Mac Trucc also touches upon the latest trending topics in bodybuilding such as Arnold Schwarzenegger’s drug testing comments, the Shawn Rhoden sexual assault accusations, and the current state of bodybuilding physiques today.

It’s a beast of an interview clocking in well over an hour and a half – but certainly an interesting dive into the mind of a man with a varied past and different perspective on bodybuilding as a whole.
