Ronnie Coleman = Greatest Ever
true story
-
Anyone has from 2003 bfto? I'm sure he looked freakier there..... Looks amazing by the way !
-
Wasn't 2002 the year he came in completely off at the Olympia?
-
hulkster will probably go through a whole box of kleenex before he even opens this thread, just seeing the name will send him over the edge ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
settle down hulkster I'm just f'ing with ya 8)
-
is he natural?
-
he's an alien. He's our generation's Haney - with arms.
-
Wasn't 2002 the year he came in completely off at the Olympia?
yes, he was 247 pounds and flat as a pancake.
-
crazy looking pix, even his calves look pretty decent
better than dorian's black and white photos imo
-
Freakiest, strongest and most muscular Mr Olympia of them all 8)
-

Everything but the gut was flat at this show. Schlierkamp smoked him like a Marlboro.

i watched that Olympia on PPV and i remember being shocked when he walked out, looked like someone let the air out of him.
-
YEEEEAAAHHH BUUUDDDYYY!!!
-
You can all thank Jeezus for Ronnie Coleman's bbing career, as it was jeezus' plan...... ::)
-
He looks terrible, he belongs in WSM competeition not bodybuilding, his physic is disgusting!
-
better than dorian's black and white photos imo
easily.
amazing stuff Iceman.
we will use these pics to blow away the gym shots of dorian in the truce thread, just like the 99 olympia shots have been blowing away dorian's best for hundreds of pages!
-
Cutler got him in size now. Cutler seems too be the most massiv in the industry ever...
Victor Martinez have some god potential to get there too.
-
maybe so, but ronnie never won by being the biggest.
he won by having the quality that the other mass monsters' lacked:
-
My how things have changed... :o
-
but Wolf could never equal this: 8)
-
wow. 99 Ronnie makes 2007 Ronnie look 10 weeks out!
-
but Wolf could never no one will ever equal this: 8)
Correction.
-
at one time no one could have imagined Ronnie would look like that..
What makes you so confident there wont be a future *competitor* that can surpass Ronnie?
-
I wonder what happend with Ronnie's body. Was it all ageing or is he hiding something. Seems like we never will know unless he write a book :).
-
Correction.
LOL true.
its hard to imagine a most muscular with more shape, size, vascularity and detail that that.
but it might happen one day down the road. in 3213 maybe 8)

I think mainly ageing and burnout.
ronnie has competed in the pro ranks non-stop since 1992.
thats a hell of a long time and he started a bit later than most too.
-

LOL
-
Light weight. Ant nothing but a peanut.
-
Thanks for the pics Ice. Yes, Ronnie
was incredible in 99. He must have killed himself dieting
away all that muscle in the last 5 weeks before the 2002 Olympia.
Some 1999 pics...
-
A few from the 99 Grand Prix after the O.
-
ronnie at the 99 prejudging was the greatest ever IMO.
no one can touch that combo of size, shape, detail and taper.
look at that back. and arms.
-
A couple from BFTO 2003.
I imagine in the 290's considering
he competed @ 287. Amazing small
waist from the back at that weight.
-
Some more from 1999 Mr. O
-
awesome screenshots bizzy.
yours have the best resolution yet I think.
99 ronnie was unbeatable.
-
i have always hated the way ronnie does his side chest shot, he seems to lean downwards for some stupid reason, i wish he corrected that and i'm sure it would make that pose look that much better
-

i agree, 1999 version of Coleman is the most massive, freakiest bb'er ever.
-
the only pose that ronnie truly knew how to hit well all the time was the most muscular.
most of his other poses could have been improved in terms of how he hit them, IMO

Especially the front lat spread... He could have looked awesome in that
shot but he almost always slumped his shoulders forward. Here is a shot
of him hitting it right and he looks great.

coleman is the greatest bber in history...
un like dorian and yates....
no one has reached to colemans level when he was on peak...
no one has gotten even close...

2003 he was better.
he was bigger in 2003, but not better IMO.

The photo of him doing the most muscular splits is the greatest bodybuilding photo ive ever seen.
(I couldn't find it, maybe you have it hulkster?)

Amazing :o

2002 was the year he tried to redeem himself after coming in too heavy and out of shape in '01 and narrowly escaping with the title as Jay made his first big run at claiming the Sandow.
Everyone told Ronnie that he should come in similar to his 98 shape in NY when he won his first Sandow. So, Chad and Ronnie went to the drawing board and did "exactly that," as Chad said once over at Mayhem. But obviously Ronnie didn't look anywhere close to his 98 showing. I remember Ronnie's biceps were shriveled up and gone! His freakiness was nowhere to be found, and he was flat as a pancake off the stove.
Had Jay not sat out 2002 because he was pissed he lost in '01, he could very well have won a bit earlier. But the "ifs ands or buts..." can't ever be proven.
Then Ronnie came back to for the redemption of a lifetime, in 2003 and came in at nearly 300lbs, and ripped as can be- but not nearly as sharp as he could have been at a lighter bodyweight.
Some people speculate the reason that Ronnie is continuously coming in bigger is because that's all he can do now. There is no going back to his 98 form, because he can't due to whatever reason.
-
I like the Iron Age look of Arnold and Samir but
I think alot of the guys that like those same kind
of physiques forget how small Ronnie's waist was
at one time. His shoulder to waist difference is almost
as good as anyone's in 99. 2nd pic is Brian Buchanan
known for his tiny waist.
3rd pic was taken off my TV with a dig camera b4 I got a DVD recorder.
-
but Wolf could never equal this: 8)
Wolf is like 10 years younger at this point than when Ronnie was in his prime.
You might eat your words.
-

doubtful.
the difference in detail is just too great.
generally, what starts off smooth when you are young, does not increase in detail as you get older.
-
Wolf is impressive though, but I am not sure if he can climb to the level that ronnie has achieved.
-
Cutler got him in size now. Cutler seems too be the most massiv in the industry ever...
Victor Martinez have some god potential to get there too.
Actually, Cutler size would not have compared to Ronnie of the past and it never did in the judges eyes either. He's bigger now, but Ronnie kicked his ass year after year. No one will ever compare to Ronnie when he was his best...NO ONE.

dennis wolf is great but ronnie in his prime was and probably will forever be the GREATEST
-
dennis wolf is great but ronnie in his prime was and probably will forever be the GREATEST
true.
its hard to imagine a physique better than this:
-
After seeing the recent guest posing of Phil Heath
I was impressed by his CRAZY arms. If you could combine
the width of Wolf (clavicles + shoulders) and the crazy thickness
and condition that Heath can achieve you might have someone
that could surpass Ronnie. Unfortunately, Heath will never have the width (clavicles)
and Wolf will never have the back or biceps that would make them
able to surpass Ron at his best. (I could be wrong but genetically I
think this is the case).
-
ronnie's level of refinement (ie detail, shape and vascularity) has always put him in a totally different class than other 'mass monsters'.
in fact, it has made him the greatest ever at his best..
-
:o
-
Yes. Wolf is very good. But hes not "amazing" like Ronnie in his best form.
-
Coleman was a Freak of nature in 2003, i do not think Wolf can surpass this but give him 3 years and its going to be close.
Im not entering the Truce thread but 93 Dorian vs Ronnie 03 would be a very close call
-
we havent even seen wolf in his best form yet. he'll come close to ronnie if he sticks with it and takes all the right advices.

...from Milos? :-\
-
from whoever he is training with now. look at his physique. it needs to be refined, not have a complete overhaul or much new added.
reasons why ronnie was great:
big, ripped legs
big, ripped chest
big, ripped arms
big, ripped back
small waist
wolf has big, ripped legs, a small waist and a big chest. he should work simply on building the size of his arms and back (lats), whilst getting ripped to shreds all over.
-
Wolf definetely needs more quality and density, but come on, this guy only trains for about 9 years, he's a baby. He has the perfect lines and structure to become one of the greatest BB of all time. The quality comes with the years of training, and nothing else (except if your name is Jay Cutler).

That would be worth buying a ticket for to see Wolf at Full Potential

Wow, that pic just sent team Nasser under a rock for about a year. Amazing.
-
wolf arms are fine...
but seriously lack shape...
no bicep peak
good tris..
but this shows why bi's will always rule tris

;D :o :o :o :o :o ;D

true. wolf can improve his biceps just a bit, making them more prominant in shots, but it is also to do with posing. there are tricks to posing which he could use to enhance their look, yet i think he should focus on the other points first (e.g. overall conditioning and bigger lats).
-
Ronnnie was the Biggest and Most Ripped ...best of both worlds, thus the greatest bb ever....ever

Aging + Anabolics dont produce the same result after years of HEAVY abuse.

is this kamali ?

I think the best he could have been in the 2007 Olympia
was to equal his 2006 Dutch Grand Prix condition. At 43
he was going to be no better than that. Saying this, I think (as
well as the audience) that he beat Cutler @ this contest and would
have won the 2007 O with this package.

Is that 2007?
Ronnie still looked better.
-
Cutler looked awesome in 2006,but it would not have been enough to beat Ronnie 2003.

It was the last Grand Prix show after the 2006 Olympia
and Ronnie finally nailed his conditioning. I was hoping he
would look like this for the 2007 Olympia but it was not to be.
As much as I like Ronnie he was probably lucky to get 4th.
-

true. Cutler 2006 does not come close to Ronnie version 2003
-
Cutler in 2001 would barely be able to scratch and claw his way to a 2nd place finish against the Ronnie of 2003.
