Eventually, all our arms will shrink beyond recognition, as we grow older and shrivel up

The thought of that makes me want to cry

Ronnie has zero to prove.. he was the best for 8 years... I could care less if he had bruce lee arms....not a single getbigger will be able to accomplish what Ronnie did!!

And im not a Ronnie fan.. but I saw him on the O stage twice...and I was I amazed.

Btw..im a jay fan

You have to wonder about the depression these guys must suffer. They're known for being huge and ripped and everyone they see expects that of them...and then ti watch it wither away much faster than it took to attain it. They're not just losing muscle...they're losing their identity and I would imagine a huge part of their self worth. I'm honestly surprised we don't see a lot of suicides from these once great champions who are just a shell of their former selves.

Maybe they wrap themselves into family or other ventures...honestly I don't think I would be able to deal with that kind of breakdown...guess that's why I wasn't made to be a Mr. O.

Groink did all that on only 50mg of tren a month, too.

Seriously though, there are some older NPC guys I know in their 50's who don't have palumboism and they have spent every cent they own on drugs for decades. I guess it does come down to nerve damage and mega abuse vs megamegamega abuse (Ronnie style)

Icelord · « **Reply #33 on:** February 17, 2014, 10:08:48 AM »

His legs are finished too. But his gut remains.

Ronnie is truly the classic example of a shooting star. Burns brighter than anything in the sky, but oh so briefly. Now reduced to a few particles of scattered stardust.

What causes Palumboism? Testosterone receptors that are tired and saturated after 25 years of non-stop anabolic chemical assault. His body doesn't respond to the sauce anymore.

Robby Robinson is 68, and he looks loads better, it all has to do with the amount of drugs they used.

Groink and Big Ron are about the same age I think.

Groink has him on arms for sure.

Alucard · « **Reply #38 on:** February 17, 2014, 10:38:08 AM »

Of course Palumboism caught up to him, and he looks horrid today, he paid the price for entering the mutant world in 2003 probably... Think about it, almost washed up in 2002 with small arms to beastly the year after... I was never a big fan of him, but he's the greatest most complete Mr Olympia ever, and he's almost 50, nothing left to prove...

Ronnie took bodybuilding to a level nobody has being able to surpass and the heavy hardcore workouts he use to do would make a lot of bodybuilders run so now is body is beaten up, that is how life is you have to pay a price for greatness.

If that was the case I doubt he'd be posting up his current arm pics and stating that they're "only" 19's now.

Think they just up the does until they croak. The smart ones grow up , find a nice girl to settle down with and fade out of the bbing scene.

Isn't Gary Strydom like 5 years older than Ronnie? And he doesn't seem to be infected with the type of muscle wasting that Ronnie has...I personally think guys like Ronnie and Cutler are toxic from using unbelievable amounts of powders from China. Possible lead poisoning and who knows what else.
