I'm thinking more like Pre-Workout movie. I like to watch BB DVD's while drinking my pre or post workout shakes. Sometimes I watch them while eating like chicken and brocolli to remind myself why I'm eating this instead of candy.

I haven't seen it but is that all he does is 6 or 7 reps with 160's.  I swear I would have thought he had stronger shoulders than that.  All that shit he takes and he weighs close to 300+ and he does only 7 with 160's.  Are you guys sure.  Pales in comparison to the 50+ reps that cop did at the Arnold in 2001(?) to beat the record of Kazmaier's at 50 reps.  And not to brag but there were a few of us back in the mid-90's I trained with that would do the 150's full ROM for 10 reps.  And I mean all the way down till touches top of traps and all the way up, no halfy shit.  So, I hope you guys had a misprint or this was at the end of his workout which is probably what it is.

that cop actually used the 100's for 50 reps, not the 160s, i heard they were 150s but turns out they were only 100s, still really impressive.  i dont think it's humanly possible to do 50 reps with 160s.

In "the unbelevable" he just reps out with 315 on the barbell for Military press. and the deadlift was awesome!

Concerning Ronnie, he now post on the new Pro Source board, which as of now is a pretty crapy board, but I asked him the other day what his bf% got up to in the off-season and he said it rarely gets over 4% ::) I replied back and said you mean to tell me when your 50+ lbs over contest weight your bf% is only 4%? He answered that the highest it ever got was 5% that his body wouldn't allow any more.
Now don't get me wrong, I think Ronnie is one of the greatest BB out there, but I think he is talking out of his butt on this one... I mean come on, is this even possible?

that sounds like bs to me....nobody stays @ 4% year round....is that even possible...Jarnold you've seen ronnie in the off-season...hes at least 8 or 10% right??? 
Title: Re: Ronnie's Cost of Redemption
Post by: TheBigAristotle on February 10, 2006, 01:56:25 PM
4% in the offseason!? You're joking right. Whoever is doing Ronnie's body fat percentage must be the same guy who tells him his waistline is coming in nicely. I love Ronnie as much as the next guy but come on.

I just don't like how you watch him eat each bite of food, cook his eggs and do cruntches.

Its Ronnies overall strength that sets him apart.

Yeah, I've read some of his answers on that board...Some made me laugh, like when he says that his natural weight is 300 pounds, no matter if he trains or not...yeah, right...Great guy, but who does he think he's fooling?

Cormeir said Ronnie pressed 405 seated in a photo shoot for a couple of reps over the course of a couple of sets..  Said it was the sickest thing he ever saw..

Post by: sammy1980 on February 23, 2006, 08:12:30 AM
yes i heard ronnie had some problems with his shoulder and chest, so his pressing power wasnt the best in the cost of redemption.

He mentions his shoulder being fucked up during the routine and they are DB's so maybe he just doesn't want to go to the trouble

http://www.mesomorphosis.com/store/videos/ronnie-coleman-cost-of-redemption.html

About half an hour of this 3-hour DVD is footage of him eating in anyplace willing to serve him several platefuls of food at a time.  Even more than his workouts, his days seemed to revolve around how many meals he could consume.  BTW, I have never in my life seen anyone so big in the gym.  He wasn't as big even the next year.

Yeah, but abs start coming in at around 13%.  He has to be around 8% offseason.

im the same here, somehow watching the movie and eating bland food makes me happier.

who the hell was that cop that did 50 reps.any pic of him.might be big i guess
Title: Re: Ronnie's Cost of Redemption
Post by: fathead on April 29, 2006, 06:11:49 PM
you gotta consider that ronnie is what 320? even at 8% that's like 30 pounds of fat plus maybe 20 pounds of water. he's a very very big dude.

i've seen him guest pose in the middle of june at 320 pounds he's the bigger fucken person i've ever seen in my life and he's still vascular in his legs arms and across his chest. he's just holding water and a healthy amount of fat in the offseason. 

he comes into the olympia in sick condition every year. stop hating on the man. he's an 8 time Mr.Olympia for christ's sake.

Just because he is 50lbs over his contest weight doesnt necessarily mean that it was fat, so he could have been that heavy and only had 4% bodyfat. Who knows there are things out there that just completely defy what we think is humanly possible.
