The family eventually moved to California with an intention of breaking into show business. While in California the family met a trainer named Frank Giardina. They bumped into him while touring one of Giardina’s gyms, and hired him to help in shaping their son’s bodybuilding career.

Richard started traveling across the United States for photo shoots, posing for several magazines. He also worked towards promoting nutritious food and other food products, and also started competing in bodybuilding competitions. Since he was always in the gym, he never had a normal childhood. His father pushed Richard too hard and had him on a very strict diet.

Tough Childhood

As a child, he could barely enjoy any of the activities other than training for martial arts and bodybuilding. Though the training was difficult, he used to enjoy working hard. Following a strict diet, he used to feed on lettuce most of the time. His father had him sleep on the floor to perfect his posture, and encouraged him to train long hours, but Richard had no disregard for bodybuilding.
