Author Topic: Ronnie Coleman Getting Stem Cell Treatment (Read 3119 times)

In a new video (posted below), Ronnie Coleman announces he is going to have a stem cell treatment in his back, to help his legs. Apparently, unlike Lee Priest, he can afford it.

He says that he’s been training at Metroflex gym for the past two weeks but he’s splitting his time between home and gym and will do all of his training at the gym once things return to more normalcy.

He goes on to say: “Because of my disability, I can only do like 20 minutes now.” He says he has a herniated disk in his upper back, his lower back is bone on bone, his right leg is completely numb, and his left leg is partially numb.

The stem cell therapy in his back is to hopefully improve his strength and function because his back is causing the weakness in his legs.

He also says: “I got 14 screws, I got 2 cages and 2 rods. Circulation is kind of hard when you got all that hardware in your back.”

The video, about 13 minutes, is an interview by Giles Thomas:

Look fast near the end with Coleman in a motorized wheelchair at Joe Rogan’s studio.

His current condition is startling, considering what he was. I think it is also genuinely sad.

His back injuries originate from getting a bad spot. Brian dobson tells the story in an interview on youtube. Said ronnie was squatting 600 and some new guy spotted him and had him hunching forward because he didnt know what he was doing and ronnie blew a disk. If you train heavy thats your worst nightmare.

Ronnie said in an interview it happened when he did those 800lbs squats on his video. He heard a pop sound from his back and that was the start of it all.

If he said that that's bullshit, the first serious injury was back in 96 as mike says...

There were previous injuries as well, he clearly has a bad back genetically, and then he choose to pound it into dust when he should have stopped post 07-09

I spoke to someone who used to compete with him in the 90s, he asked him if he planned on going for Haneys record, he said "if my back holds out , its real bad now"

Looks like he ignored the warnings his body was telling him

I heard the back problem originated from his football playing days.

Trying not to get carried away with your training, particularly when you are juiced to the gills and immature can be hard. You feel so strong and invincible, playing with weights you would struggle with naturally. Add showboating for an audience or trying to out do your training partner, when you ignore the twinges and the tweaks and that is recipe for disaster.

Curly: "Hey Moe, I've got a weak back"

Moe: "Hey Jug-head, when did that happen"".

Curly: "Oh about a week back, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk"

When conventional treatments have been exhausted, bring in the quacks.

Is this serious?

I always thought Cedric was a closet homo, but the cucking does kinda make sense. The twat went from being a huge Cedric fan to talking shit about him every time his name was mentioned.

No, genetic abnormality just like all the bodybuilders with liver and kidney problems. Squatting 800lbs into old age has no negative effects on the spine.

Did someone already photoshop Giles' forehead to be bigger than it is, and also photoshop Khan's head to be smaller than it is?

Well i know a guy from Metroflex gym that said back when Ronnie was natural and won his first Olympia title, he slipped a disc doing his robot dance with a "splits" finish back stage.
