Rich Piana Snorted CON-CRET Before Death
According to his girlfriend, Rich Piana Snorted CON-CRET Pre-Workout Powder (Lemon-Lime Flavor)
TMZ has reported that Rich Piana would snort lines of pre-workout powder like it was cocaine ... this according to the death report obtained by TMZ Sports. Investigators found white powder at the apartment where Rich Piana suffered a medical emergency back in August. Law enforcement spoke with Rich Piana's girlfriend who told investigators it was CON-CRET PRE workout powder (Lemon-Lime). Rich Piana's girlfriend told police, "He would snort this powder" ... and she does not believe it was anything illicit. The medical examiner's office who conducted Piana's autopsy were unable to run toxicology reports on Piana because the hospital Piana was in for the two weeks prior to his death discarded the necessary specimens!

Staying Fit While Fighting
Who are you and where are you from?
My name is Andrew Malcolm. I’m originally from Queens, New York, but joined the U.S. Army in 2002, and I’ve lived both in the U.S. and overseas since. I currently reside in El Paso, Texas
What’s your fitness background?
I’m a certified personal trainer, nutritionist, natural NPC bodybuilder, fitness model, and published fitness author.
What is your job in the Army and have you been overseas?
I am an attack helicopter pilot. Yes, I’ve deployed five times total: three tours to Iraq and two tours to Afghanistan, totaling four years and seven months of combat time.
Are you able to still bodybuild while deployed?
Yes, my passion for bodybuilding started on my first deployment to Afghanistan in 2004. When soldiers are deployed, we’re very limited in what we can do. Our daily schedule usually consists of executing the mission and lifting weights. Because of the lack of options on deployed military bases, we typically use this time away from home to build our bodies and clear our minds. Soldiers typically return home in much better shape than when they first arrived.
What’s a typical day for you when in the U.S.?
A typical day for me when home is that I am up around 7 a.m., meal prep for the day, and go off to work. On my lunch break from 11:30 to 1 p.m. is when I train at the fitness center on base. I usually get home around 5:30 in the afternoon. Then I spend an hour or so with my wife and kids, then lock myself in my room, working on assignments for my Masters degree.
What’s a typical day for you when deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan? The time of day changes when I sleep and do missions. For example, I may be on a night schedule where I wake up around 4 p.m. then go to sleep at 7 a.m. or a day schedule in which am I up at 4 a.m. then bed down around 7 p.m. Regardless of the shift I’m on, I usually wake up, eat, train, then go to work. The gyms on deployed military bases are usually 24 hours, so I can train prior to missions. I personally prefer to train as close to waking up as possible. Many times, we will do missions that include eight hours of flight time and an additional four to five hours of briefings before and after the mission, so I’m usually drained at the conclusion of these missions.
What motivates you to push so hard?
My motivation comes from raw passion of bodybuilding and the enjoyment of seeing my physique grow. A second reason is the movie Black Hawk Down (based on the Battle of Mogadishu) in which US helicopters were shot down in combat. This is a reality for me. My aircraft is a very crash-worthy aircraft, and I would hate to have survived a crash and then be captured because I wasn’t physically fit enough to evade the enemy. This is what keeps me up when I’m deployed; this is what pushes me in the gym.
How does your diet differ on deployments from when at home?
My diet doesn’t differ significantly when deployed. My last tour to Iraq was last year, and I was fortunate enough to be on a base that had a large dining facility. The base offered chicken breast for every meal. It also offered egg whites and oatmeal for breakfast. So the staple foods for a bodybuilder were available. However, the challenging part is flying an eight-hour mission. I was the annoying guy in the dining facility line that held up the line because I requested two or three “to-go trays.” I will usually have two of these “to-go trays” in the cockpit with me, and when we reach an area in the flight that doesn’t require my immediate attention, I will transfer flight controls to my co-pilot and chow down my meal as fast as I can.
You seem to have a very busy life with your military career, fitness, social media, parenting, and college. How do you balance it all, and what advice would you give someone who is facing many obligations?
The honest truth is that you can never be perfect at every obligation. Prioritization, balance, and a strong support system at home have always been the key to my success. There are times where I lack in one area (social media, work, or college) while other areas (fitness, parenting, marriage) are going great or vice versa. As soon as one area starts to lack, then I transition to investing more time in that particular area for improvement. It all comes down to prioritization and balance. This same concept can be applied to bodybuilding as well. As soon as a weak muscle becomes strong because of how much emphasis was given to it, you will realize that muscle is now overpowering the muscles next to it.
What will you tell someone just starting a fitness journey?
Be patient; fitness is a marathon. It takes years upon years to build a strong physique. There is no such thing as a “secret trick”; the only thing that works is hard work and consistency. In addition to hard work and consistency, research is extremely important. When I first started bodybuilding in 2004, I went years in which I was consistent. I did the same exercises over and over and very rarely changed my diet. Once I conducted research and combined it with hard work and consistency, then the true gains came.

Vitamin World Liquidating Inventory in 122 Stores
Scott Welch
BASc. (Nutrition)
Known in the industry as "The Supplement Genius" Scott Welch has devoted his career studying performance enhancement and weight loss through dietary intervention. He received a bachelor of applied science degree in Nutrition from Ryerson University and later completed a post-graduate certificate in advertising. He’s had countless interactions with leading scientists, doctors, and hundreds of trainers from around the world, giving him a unique perspective that others lack. Welch founded MUSCLE INSIDER in 2009.
Vitamin World used to be one of America's largest retailers of health and wellness products but they filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on September 11 as part of their recapitalization strategy. They will now be liquidating the inventory of 122 stores nationwide but will continue to operate over 150 of their stores. It is expected to be a very short sale, as opening discounts range from 30-50% off.
"Vitamin World offers an unmatched selection of premium nutritional products,"stated Rick Edwards, Co-President, Retail at Gordon Brothers."This sale offers Vitamin World's loyal customers the opportunity to stock up on their favorite products at significantly lower prices. Due to these substantial reductions, we encourage consumers to shop early to take advantage of the best selection of products available while supplies last."
"Vitamin World offers an unmatched selection of premium nutritional products,"stated Rick Edwards, Co-President, Retail at Gordon Brothers."This sale offers Vitamin World's loyal customers the opportunity to stock up on their favorite products at significantly lower prices. Due to these substantial reductions, we encourage consumers to shop early to take advantage of the best selection of products available while supplies last." GNC, Vitamin Shoppe and Vitamin World were always “the big 3” when it came to sports nutrition. Get your product into all three stores and you would be making milllions in sales. But these days Vitamin World is not really considered to be a "serious sports nutrition" destination by most people in the supplement industry. They carry a few brands that advertise in Muscle Insider like Optimum Nutrition, BSN, BPI, Cellucor, and Isopure but product selection isn’t nearly as diverse as other stores. Hardcore sports nutrition just isn’t their focus. Pricing is average and many staff don’t seem to know or care much about sports nutrition. Once again, it’s just not their focus. But every time I walk into a Vitamin World I always feel like the store is about to close for the day and the furnishing looks stuck in the 80s when herbals first started getting popular. And with that said, many of the clerks (in the stores I’ve been to at least) look like they’ve been working in that exact location since the 80s! 
Many Vitamin World locations are in low foot traffic malls with high rent costs making profitability very difficult to obtain. Putting a product on the shelf in these locations and doing a demo to help get customers to try it doesn’t have the same impact it had many years ago when U.S. malls were busy. Unfortunately, many U.S. consumers are also now buying supplements from Amazon and mass market retailers like Walmart which has clobbered smaller retailers nationwide. Will Vitamin World be able to turn their business around and reach the success they once had? I personally don’t think so as there are too many factors working against them. In the meantime, it’s a great time to take advantage of the store closing sales at Vitamin World and stock up while you can!
