The sport of bodybuilding is all about the end product, which becomes the basis of judgment. Its chief objective is always to exhibit a magnificent body on stage. Thus, the sense of aesthetics is highly in the play. It’s been a popular stereotype since the dawn of human civilization that women always get attracted to the strongest men. However, the reality is often different.
A late bodybuilder, one of the most vigorous ones, with his famously known massive arms, once talked about women’s preferences in the context of well-built bodybuilders. But what he had to say may disappoint many who want to pursue bodybuilding to attract women.

Rich Piana deciphers women’s choices
In a video posted by @aegfitness on YouTube shorts, an old footage of Rich Piana re-surfaces. In the video, Piana decodes the precise body type that is famous among women.
He also notes how the bulkiest men do not get to be on this list. He said, “Most Women, you know, you take as a whole, don’t necessarily like huge massive bodybuilders.”
Rich Piana continued, “You know, they are more into the men’s physique.” He then name-drops a famous Hollywood celebrities who continue to steal millions of hearts. “Or Brad Pitt, you know.”
Then explain the ideal physique women actually find attractive. Rich remarked at last, “Just a more leaner, athletic boy. So when you get to the stage that I’m at, 280 pounds – 290 pounds, the general public isn’t really necessarily attracted to that. So it kind of defeats the purpose, if you are doing it to get women.”
Rich Piana’s arms are masterpieces that have turned out to be timeless. Even after the bodybuilding beast’s death, he is one of the most revered and popular bodybuilders who never made it to the Pros.
Piana’s massive arms workout is implemented by Ronnie Coleman’s son
Although Rich Piana died six years ago, his legacy lives on. Several bodybuilders see him in high regard. Recently, the 8-time Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman‘s son, Jesse James West, undertook Piana’s toughest 8-hour long arm routine.
West claimed to have the most energy before the workout, which changed afterward. “I had the most energy in my life and now I feel dead yo.”
The bodybuilding world runs with inspiration and motivation that bodybuilders draw from previous legends in the field. The guidance and words of wisdom they have left behind would likely be extremely beneficial for budding bodybuilders. They not only help shape their muscles but their career as a whole. As Piana shared his words about the difficulty of getting a woman to be the bulkiest man, where does your opinion lie? Do you agree with Piana? Let us know in the comments.
