He had been around for a while, was by no means small, a mid-level pro 2nd/3rd tier, claimed to be natural. He seemed to have maxed out. Next thing we know, he blows up into the monster on the right, and takes the big one.

Besides the obvious replies of up the dosage, slin, gh, wtf did this guy do to progress from very big to huge?

Are you trying to tell us something "figo"?

At an advanced level to get your back, arms, and especially legs up so much is incredible.

"El_Pajero", are you referring to the original post, or me asking if pic is visible? Bit vague your question...

The "explosion" came very late, when he started to work with Chad Nicholls. I really guess that Coleman knew little about drugs till the Mid-90s, Teh Chad was the first to put him on a great stack and the rest is history.

Crazy. Even his ankles got bigger.

I'm aware of Chad working with him, just unbelievable how he seemed maxed out until he showed his true potential and response to aas.

Thats what I was getting at, just waiting to see if anyone shared the view.
It is the natural thing to think, isnt it? (No pun intended) Maybe the guy really was a nattie when he turned pro.

Ronnie had a different look to his muscle when he turned pro. McGough used to talk about it until about 96 when he broke through and started winning smaller shows. after that point he exploded in size and lost that extreme sharpness. still amazing after that, but looked the same as the other pros, only bigger.

From Flex I think. I believe the background has been changed.

For sure, his shape changed a great deal, and he did lose detail.

turnerg31 · « **Reply #21 on:** November 25, 2008, 02:33:32 PM »

Definitely agree that he lost some detail at the expense of gaining all that mass. I always thought that the mass monsters suffered more by loosing the detail then they really gained by coming in close to 300 lbs. I definitely thought Ronnie reached a turning point with the size, where he started sacrificing detail. I always thought he would be better off returning to that halfway point (for lack of a better phrase) between razor like sharpness and freaky mass. I think he would be hard to beat at that condition. He's got the potential to posses the best of both worlds. The size/mass as well as the sharpness and symmetry.
