Richard Showed Serious Potential

When he was just two years old, everyone could see that Richard clearly had a knack for the sport. That’s when his dad made a sudden decision to move the family all the way to California. He knew very well that his son had a better chance in the sport there and that he would also gain exposure. He was confident that California would propel his son into fame.  As they were looking for the right gym to join when they initially moved to California, Richard’s dad wanted to be very selective. It was then that the duo met trainer Frank Giardina. Sandrak’s did not waste time and hired him to work as a mentor for Richard. Giardina then began working very closely with the boy and would stick with him for a very long time during his career. His 6 packs were enough to cause a sense of envy among even the best of body builders.
