I feel they own it to the fans to stay near contest-size after retirement.

Nasser is still 300 with abs - he has set the standard that Ronnie should now adhere to.

He is big and will stay big. He is likely has type 2 diabetes by now from all the years of GH abuse...so he pumps insulin in his gut daily...

And you would know that how? Do you watch him every day do it?

Massive amounts of GH over time lead to insulin resistance and possible reduction to full non-production of insulin in the pancreas. Maybe he is lucky, but I doubt it.

I noticed that as well, his lips used to be proportionate to his face, now they aren't. He's got fish lip syndrome. Could it have been the years of GH use?

I know. I was just being facetious.  It's rather funny to see their new head sizes stay the same while the rest of them shrinks.

Maybe if you would've added the... :D...icon, I would've gotten your facetious approach.  ;)

But yes, the shrinking of the body and the size of the head is quite a sight to behold. Almost like the molding of a life-size bobble head.  ;D

yeah, with the silly use of growth for the last decade, it's going to be pretty funny to see the longtime giants suddenly look really really odd.  Ronnie sitll has the garden hose veins in the arms, but you can definitely tell his head appears bigger on his body than it ever has.  It's only going to appear larger and larger as his body returns to its older dimensions.  Should be fun to watch.

This smells of speculation; the guy clearly likes to eat and gain weight and isn't on hormones and possibly isn't training hard, so what else would someone look like who always ballooned up in the off-season and now isn't concerned with getting in shape. ???

I don't see any triceps problem, he's facing the camera with a t-shirt on. ::)

He just started back into training since the Olympia.

He will always be a big dude but he is still on the sauce and his gut appears to be worse than ever.  For guys that preach fitness, he looks like he will join the long list of people to look like shit after they retire.  At least Dorian and Chris Cook still look big and fit.  The recent Flex showed Doz looking big with no gut or massive head size.  Guys like Cormier and Coleman will look ridiculous if they ever shrink down past 220.  People can give all the excuses they want but these guys will be on HRT for life so why not look like Ferrigno and just keep in shape?

i totally understand what you are saying but you must remember that you cannot take massive amounts of gear your entire life. Sooner or later you will have to come off and you will lose size.

I know he won't be 300 ripped for life but with HRT and heavy lifting he can remain 250+.  Many guys, eating correctly and in bulk, with HRT could hit that number, but just not look as good as Ronnie.  Seeing as he doesn't have to diet anymore, he can remain rather large and somewhat healthy.  My point is he doesn't have to be like Flex or numerous other pros and just give up.  Big Lou ain't the same guy but he is still big.

Well he is still pretty big, Cap. He isn't exactly small.

For sure but if he were to go off the sauce completely he would join the other BBers who wittle down to what normal guys look like.  You have to remember that he is likely eating like a pig still but not training as hard so he has lost muscle and gained more fat.  It seems like these guys either want it all or nothing.  All I'm saying is that he should not be like the others.  Only time will tell.

Some guys love eating alot more than being in shape, like this guy. He's blown up to obsene proportions every offseason, so it's no surprise he's choosing to do that now. Being in shape is nice for fans but that upside pales in comparison to the enjoyment of the good life, for some.
