Just now on Radio Chick tells Chris C that he is the only one still around since the 90s ooooooops you forgot Lee Priest Bob and what the hell statement was that you said Hopefully Ronnie has Retired.How many Olympias have you won Bob??Nice call to have an Athletes Rep making statements like that.FFS.You couldn't carry Ron's gym bag.

ronnie owns bob 8)

That ronnie most muscular is one of the best ever.
-
This guy calls himself the Pros Rep yet he often makes statements with No Fukin Respect to the Pros.Saying Hopefully Ronnie is Retired is pathetic and let the Fuka say he didn't say it it is on his Radio show.And to say Chris C is the only guy around from 90s what about Priest you clown.

bob looks better retired than ronnie does now "actively" training and gassing up and all.
Ronnie is a mangled mess of nerve damage and torn strained muscles....
he should retire like bob says.
meltdown I think you obsess more with bob than goatboy :D does or even robby z did. ha ha ;D
-
Fuk obsess this guy is a clown and thinks he's all that. Fact is he couldn't carry Big Rons gym bag.The dude is on here for the IFBB and jumps to their defence yet has a non paying job for life Give me a Fukin Break he is getting MONEY on the side.

chick will sell you all the heat pasturized egg whites you can drink for $29 a gallon.
order 4 gallons and get a free egg white pump ::)

I agree with Bob on that statement. For 8 years, Ronnie was the best in the world. Onstage this past weekend, Ronnie didnt look so great as a pro bodybuilder anymore, and thus, he should retire, as he is not going to attain what he did when he was the best. Simple as that.
If Ronnie does want to compete, anything below what he was might tarnish his image. Especially, if he isnt spot on like he was. Like it or not, comparisons will be made. Still, that is up to Ronnie. If he wants to do it for himself, by all means!

ronnie is going down real bad... JUST FUCKING RETIRE MAN... it will be BAD i ronnie goes to the o and doesnt land a top 10 spot... :'(
go out like a champ... IT was awesome to se the standing ovation and shit... STOP THERE RONNIE...
-
Chic isnt hating on Ronnie, i believe hes hes doing the right thing, Ronnies a legend in the sport, he needs to move on, coming back with an injured tired body will hurt his legacy, im not his biggest fan but seeing him beat by jay a guy who couldnt carry his gym bag when he was in his prime was sad.
-
Nice words Ron.Like you said if he wants to compete for himself compete after all Bob says not one Pro BB does it for the money.I thought BB competition was for whoever wants to compete we all can't win the same show.Now if Big Ronnie is in trouble with his tears what do you think about Chris C and his Triceps Bob didn't tell him to Retire.

Just what makes my opinion "talking shit"? Of course he can do whatever he wants, whats that have to do with anything?

Chick, as athlete rep was do you consider as your greatest accomplishment for 2006 and 2007, also what are your goals for 2008?
-
I dont think Ronnie cares much about tarnishing his legacy.
I think he cares more about making money, meeting fans, having fun and still getting attention.
Back in the day, Bbers cared about going out on top, their place in history, etc.
Now? Too many big dollars to do that. Ronnie can make a half a mil doing what he does... why would he walk away from $500k? So kids who read BBing books think a little higher of him? The man has kids to feed. He should guest pose til he's 50 years old, if the $ is still there and people still come to see him.

Ronnie looked bad at the olympia and at the Pittsburgh, it was really sad. Its like watching Ali fight Larry Holmes. Watching a once great champion, past his prime, is hard to watch.
-
when you talk about dorian or lee haney its like... whoaaaaaaaaa
thats cause they fucking knew when to retire!

Ron how can you base what Ronnie looks like on stage this past weekend. He NEVER guest poses in shape. He is a fat slob for years. He has come to Hawaii maybe 5 or 6 times for Mits show. Everytime he looks like shit (at least 4 times that I saw). Other pics of him posted on here guest posing he looks like shit. So you can't say that.
-
NZ, thanks for the reminder...it makes me smile knowing how much progress I have made since that pic 2 years and 30 lbs ago.
I'll get around to making a new pic from the same angle in my computer room with the same shirt for comparisons one of these days.
-
Like 240 says if the Big man is making the Money why the Fuk Not do you think he or any Pro gives a Fuk what we write here?NO not one with half a brain would give a Fuk.

You hit it right on the money, he is to humble to let his ego think he is tarnishing his image. He simply loves the sport.

It has nothing to do with his condition, but his shape was ruined. His left leg and left tricep are so small. I honestly don't think he can ever get the size back to be competitive.
-
I couldn't disagree with Bob and Ron more. Nothing is going to tarnish Ronnnies image ever. He is an 8 time Mr Olympia and will hold that title long after he is gone.
Ronnie is obviously not on half the sauce that he was using when he was competing and there is certainl no reason to be. Huge props to him for still doing what he loves to do!! Just because he is retired doesn't mean he needs to pump the same amount of drugs he was using when he competed. He is comfortable enough with him self and still looks better than most of the guys on stage at the Pittsbugh to guest pose.
Remember that Ronnie at 50% is still bigger than most of the pros who have yet to retire. I know that it may be a bit tough to see him smaller, but all of us (God willing) will keep shrinking as the years go by.
How many past Olympia winners still had the balls to keep on guest posing after they retired?

Haney guest posed for the year after he retired and looked pretty good doing so. Ronnie and Dorian had injuries that made their physiques worse
-
i agree with the guest posing i just dont think he should compete anymore, bad guest posing wont hurt his legacy. But i feel bad placings would
-
Haney guest posed for the year after he retired and looked pretty good doing so. Ronnie and Dorian had injuries that made their physiques worse
I don't recall Lee haney doing any guest posing after he retired. When was this?
-
but most PRO athletes who have been on top of their sport know when to get out- Jordan,Bird,Magic, Elway, Marino,Walter Peyton, Barry Sanders, Jim Brown, Gretzky, Orr, Nickalus,Palmer, Cal Ripken, Nolan Ryan, etc... even ARNOLD, HANEY, DORIAN......they didn't stick around being a shell of themselves, a shell of what we all knew them to be. But then is BB really a sport?????

Ronnie does not have to rely on any type of athletic ability like dunking a ball. All bbers will lose muscle when off the drugs. Ronnie back on will look just like he did in 2006 but there is no reason for that after 8 Olympia wins. Last year Ronnie obviously did not take his training all that serious, but he still was good enough to beat Jay. Sad thing is that everyone was comparing Ronnie to the Ronnie of old.
-
Why you guys rippin on bob? We dont want to remember ronnie this way. Looking like 100lbs of shit in a 5lb bag.....hes had his day, now move on.
-
I don't recall Lee haney doing any guest posing after he retired. When was this?
1992....
-
Big Ronnie we know you read this board So what do you think about your Pro Rep saying on public Radio that you should RETIRE?????.
-
anyone who does not think he already tarnished his rep by losing two olympia's when he was well past his prime and looking like this 6 months after placing 4th is off thier freeking rocker ;)
he's already lowered himself below haney, arnold and yates with the losses after a long undefeated stint as mr "o" , now he looking to push himself into a mike tyson situation.
some of you people dont realize 10 yrs from now he wont be mentioned as the best ever, maybe his 03 look will still be regarded as the best of all time, but no way in hell these last few yrs did not knock him down alot in a historical sense!
-
1992....
OK I hope this isn't going to be like pulling teeth. ;D I kinda figured that since he retired in 91. I meant when and where. Seriously, I really don't recall him guest posing unless you are talking like right at his last win.

Other than Jay, who looked any better than Ronnie at that show?????
-
Ronnie has kids to feed, and he's earning more than 99% of America.
Ronnie has done a lot to his body and might not worry too much about what age 90 will be.
Ronnie is milking it, earning every cent he can. Can't blame him. So a few internet kids will think less of him after he's long gone... big deal. Feeding his kids and getting them set for life is way more important to him, I"m sure.

Actually, Dorian did NOT know when to retire. I was not impressed with his 1996 and 1997 showing. He didn't deserve to win either year, BUT, like Cutler he was awarded gifts.
-
Even Arnold didn't go out on top. 1980 Mr. Olympia anyone? YET, he is still a legend. An icon.
-
that back shot is a little disheartening,he had one of the freakiest backs ever,and when he flexed it lights out,he barely put any effort in the pose,unless it was caught midflex.
-
Ron how can you base what Ronnie looks like on stage this past weekend. He NEVER guest poses in shape. He is a fat slob for years.
I base it on that Ronnie is having a harder time getting into the physique that got him the Mr. Olympia title. I base it that Ronnie is 43 or so, and like anyone else, he was the best in the world at one time, and now he isnt.
Just because he is retired doesn't mean he needs to pump the same amount of drugs he was using when he competed. He is comfortable enough with him self and still looks better than most of the guys on stage at the Pittsbugh to guest pose.
Absolutely, he can do whatever he wants, but people will always remember how great he looked for 10 years, and how off he is now. Such is the casualty when you are the best out there at one time. And yes, he still can beat a number of other bodybuilders if he competes again.
anyone who does not think he already tarnished his rep by losing two olympia's when he was well past his prime and looking like this 6 months after placing 4th is off thier freeking rocker
No - he was the best in the world, and gave it two more times to see what he can accomplish. Kudos for Ronnie for doing that and making it exciting and interesting.
-
I think were debating two different things here...
1. competing, and whether or not he should continue
2. Making appearances, signing autographs,uestposin, et....which he can and should do if he chooses, and is not dependant on him steping on stage
If anything, his market value as a legend could be HIGHER if he chooses to go out the way he did, on the Olympia stage to 2 standing ovations,etc...
And it could go DOWN with a few less than stellar fiishes off he Olympia stage...

It's not that Ronnie is having a harder time although age does play a factor, he is taking less drugs.
"but people will always remember how great he looked for 10 years, and how off he is now" All but me.
-
As long as the Big man is making Money Kudos to him.Every time he goes to do the banking the dude is laughing at the guys here who say he should Retire.It's a Fukin shame the Money is not better so a Champ at the highest level even needs to Guest pose after 8 Olympia wins.
-

I do not believe that the amount of Drugs has any connection with his ability to hold the same level of condition or severe injuries that he has demonstrate in the past two year in his triceps and Lats. Ronnie is a Legend, but he should not step in stage again if he can not improve or maintain the level and standard of physique he has presented in the past. He should continue to be active in the Industry in different ways, Guest appearances and Guest posing etc
-
As Bob would say Drugs have very little to do with Pro BB that's why the IFBB Don't do Drug tests.It's all Genetics and he is Livin the Dream Baby.
-
Do you really think promoters will continue to pay the big bucks to have him/others guest pose looking like that. I bet Chick could get on stage today to guest pose and look better than Ronnie/others did this weekend and he hasn't trained for a show in almost two years. Imagine going to a golf clinic knowing Tiger's going to be there and he put on a show but he shows up like John Daly-drunk and smoking, a complete mess. Many people go to the shows for the actual contest but many also go to see the best bb's in the world and expect to see someting that resembles them. Not what most of us look like daily(fat/bloated with some muscularity underneath)

Well you are the Pro and the Expert so we should pay attention to your opinions ::)
You definitely know what are you talking about ;)
-
fck all you guys in RONs latest video he said he is making 2.3 million/year and if he quit he said he could only make 100k/year. How do you think he affords a new car for his new profound wife???? Not on 100k/year salary. If he does 30 guest poses BSN promies 2.3 million/year as long as he can maintain, "BIG"
-
bob made this pic to say he is better than current & Future Mr. O

Bob uses his bb celebrity far more efficiently than Ronnie Coleman.
I forecast that RC will be bankrupt, and Bob will continue to thrive in many directions due to far superior social skills and business intellect.

Ronnie was big a ever in 2006 and it was his conditioning that led to him not winning the Olympia for a 9th time. From what I can see Ronnie tore a lat, tore his thigh and has some degree of nerve damage that is effecting his tricep development. Should he retire? Since he has there is no reason to debate that issue. My point is that if Ronnie wants to guest pose for a couple more years then go for it. People are fickle and quit to forget. I guess cause Ronnie has retired he must stay covered up for the rest of his life. Just like Arnold, the poor guy takes his shirt off on the beach and everyones is saying how he doesn't look like he did 30 yeas ago. ??? Really? ::)
-
I agree with Bob on that statement. For 8 years, Ronnie was the best in the world. Onstage this past weekend, Ronnie didnt look so great as a pro bodybuilder anymore, and thus, he should retire, as he is not going to attain what he did when he was the best. Simple as that.

well you can say that about cutler and many others too this past few weeks, im shocked that someone like you cannot grasp that its impossible to be in impressive condition all the time add to the fact hes not that young anymore so diet and all that takes way more out of you
-
the problem here is that ronnie lovers look at this first pic and see the 2nd pic, while everyone else actualy sees the first pic ;)
-
He has a good Rep in Bob saying he hopes he has Retired who needs enemies with friends like that. ::)
-
If someone in Ronnie's corner is reading and taking it all in, let me give my 2 cents
1. Retire from bodybuilding and never get onstage again(including guest posing without a shirt on)That way you never ever have to get below 7 or 8% bodyfat and don't ever have to take diruetics again...
2. Go ahead and continue to cycle on and off and show up and do autograph sessions etc.....Stay in mostly a bulk stage so you look massive and everyone without a decent eye will think that you can step onstage at anytime and regain your title...(let them think that) and use it to make money and keep supplement contracts...
3.Make sure in your supplement contract that your lawyer stats that you WILL NEVER EVER compete again...EVER...That way your not forced into something that will make you look less impressive then your olympian years
4. Make your own TExas style Beef Jerky geared toward Bodybuilders..(lower the sodium in it) and put the Ronnie Coleman Brand all over it...Build off that but stay away from protein powders and what not(there useless and most of us know it)...Work toward a Ronnie Coleman style hot sauce..You could own the weightlifting niche...Think Newmans on a much smaller scale of course...And you could do all this for small dollars..Jerky and hot sauce won't cost you much for a start up and you already have the brand, so work the hell out of it...
5. Take many public speaking lessons...This will help build your brand...
6. There are a million hot sauces out there, but there will only be one Ronnie Coleman hot sauce..Same with the jerky...Make a mix...Beef/turkey/chicken/jerky all in one package...I've yet to see it but it has Ronnie Coleman written all over it...
8. Here is a brand title(not sure if its taken or not) but how about Olympia Jerky and/or Olympia Hot Sauce...
-
rons legacy is already tarnished. he will only get worse and place lower at the olympia. retire and do something else while his name is still somewhat legendary.

LMAO @ #4 Hell, I'd buy that stuff.

From what i have heard, Ronnie Coleman has stayed away from serious lifting...So you have the guest posing shots at him at a lower level of muscularity and out of shape because he loves to eat....The guy is a multimillionare so he doesnt need to make anymore money from the sport and he can choose what to do and when to do it....Any competing he does from here on out is probably strictly for the love of the sport...Can not shoot a man down for that....
Should Arnold have competed in the 1980 Olympia? He won but there is a lot of controversy about it...Does it take away his legitimate wins before hand?
From my viewpoint, Bobs opinion is about as good as any of ours in being part of the "peanut gallery"...
No offense Bob....
-
Bob Heads the "Peanut Gallery"even pumpkin heads can't touch Chick.

I agree with Chick & Ron. Tour in a T Shirt, pass on the wisdom and show off the arms, but don't hit the stage in a posing suit again.

-
Why would he be in top shape when he said he wanted to compete maybe next year?
-
This guy calls himself the Pros Rep yet he often makes statements with No Fukin Respect to the Pros.Saying Hopefully Ronnie is Retired is pathetic and let the Fuka say he didn't say it it is on his Radio show.And to say Chris C is the only guy around from 90s what about Priest you clown.
after seeing the pittsburgh guest posing pics, ronnie should/ needs to retire.

ronnie owns bob 8)
Today Chick owns Ronnie crazy. Stop living in 1999 Gayster, it's 2008. :-*
-
I enjoy hot sauce 2-3 times a day.
I'd certainly try a ROnnie brand!
-
That ronnie most muscular is one of the best ever.
BETTER
-
bob made this pic to say he is better than current & Future Mr. O
No...I actually made that picture because I think Bob could probably hold his own if he came into an olympia with that conditioning.
Problem is, there's some weak areas where I think between the 3, he would be #2 or #3 in that line up.
Still, my point is when you're that close to comparison, he should be going for it.
He says he'd lose money to do so...
so be it.

ATTN : TURN OFF CAP LOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:(
Actually, someone should urge DA to turn off his pulse.

Athletes Rep does a great job of putting Pros Down.Big Ron you listen to Chick after all he has Won a heap of Olympias and knows his stuff being MC is not the only thing he can do at contests. ::)

I guess Chick wouldn't deny that Ronnie was one of the best ever. But Chick is realistic and outspoken. Ronnie seems to suffer from the "Hulkster-syndrome" as well, still living in 1999.
No matter how good he was, today he looks like a big bag of horse shit.
Nobody wants to see this mess on stage anymore, so Chick is right, it's time to retire (urgently). :-X

It shouldn't even be a question to retire, should've happened before the last Olympia. Classic athlete who can't let go, oblivious to what his recent appearances do to tarnish the legacy.

he looks bad - but - hundreds of people will still come to a show to see him pose or meet him, anytime he chooses.
-
I guess, 240.
His legacy is cemented...but I wonder if he knows how he is slipping?
Is it pride that deludes him, would you say?
-

As long as his name's on the marquee he can still get something like the same crowd and money without guest posing.
As far as other older guys still doing it, it's case-by-case depending on how well they hold up. Coleman's fallen apart.

Big Ron is anything but deluded.
It's part contractual, part there's still money to be made, part 'still training anyway'.
-
I dont think Ronnie cares much about tarnishing his legacy.
I think he cares more about making money, meeting fans, having fun and still getting attention.
Back in the day, Bbers cared about going out on top, their place in history, etc.
Now? Too many big dollars to do that. Ronnie can make a half a mil doing what he does... why would he walk away from $500k? So kids who read BBing books think a little higher of him? The man has kids to feed. He should guest pose til he's 50 years old, if the $ is still there and people still come to see him.
I freaking agree with that statememnt. Vince taylor, at 50, is still onstage kicking it with he young guns, and I'm sure Vince get a paycheck one way or the other. So why wouldn't Ronnie still be having fun? His heart is still on it
-
I haven't seen a man like John Grimek show up yet.
-
Just what makes my opinion "talking shit"? Of course he can do whatever he wants, whats that have to do with anything?
You are godamn right.
I am a huge Ronnie fan. Thats why i want him to retire.
But its his life. Not mine.
-
Ron how can you base what Ronnie looks like on stage this past weekend. He NEVER guest poses in shape. He is a fat slob for years. He has come to Hawaii maybe 5 or 6 times for Mits show. Everytime he looks like shit (at least 4 times that I saw). Other pics of him posted on here guest posing he looks like shit. So you can't say that.
bizump for truth
-
My only concern is how big is that belly going to get...Something wierd going on when you have abs showing and also have a gut...
-
In ten years, Big Ron will be in 1 of 2 places:
Retired from all stages in 2008, legacy up there with haney and Arnold, with a good pile of $.
Retired from all stages in 2010, legacy up there with haney and Arnold, with a GREAT pile of $.

I am sure Ronnie makes 3x what Chick is making!
so who is owning who? 8)

This isn't a "me vs Ronnie thread"...no one is "owning" anyone...It was a comment and my opinion on a guy who is arguably the greatest BB in history, and whether he is going to compete again...
-
bob,
This is one of the few times i agree with you.
Ronnie is not exactly adding value to his stock.
The couple of $1k he makes guest posing pale in comparison to the loss in respect for a former great champion looking like a pile of sh*t
just to squeeze a buck out of the fans.
The only problem is that unlike Haney and Yates, Ronnie can't exactly hold seminars.
I can't imagine anyone actually paying to liste to him talk, so they can go home and share "what they learned from ronnie".
ronnie realizes this, so in the end he is doing what is right for him. I guess.

All I can think of is Mike Tyson, and the legacy he left behind...or lack therof.
Certainly not making direct comparisons, as Tyson did time and other assorted sundry things....but it's the idea that he should have been remembered for being one of the greatest heavyweights in history, but all he'll be remembered for is being a nutjob and his wacky antics and his boxing career and being the champ will take second seat...
I would just hate to see a great champ like Ronnie fade away and start placing poorly in shows not at the Olympia level....
No need to compete,nothing to prove...can continue to make appearances, etc and stil be "the champ"...
-

I see you're getting your ass handed to you by much more knowledgeable people as usual.

Part of reason that men like Henry Aaron, Micky Mantle, Joe Damigio (baseball), Joe Louis ( boxing ) and
Lee Haney ( Mr O) are so respected is that they knew when to retire and make appearences instead.
Going out on top is tough to get right. Even Arnold made a bit of a blunder by comming back in 1980 at less then his best and winning a controversial Olympia.
-

Why do you say he can hold no seminars?
-
Legacy doesn't mean sheeit when you have kids to feed.
And ronnie is a baby making machine, mind you.
-
Maybe he is going for the unhealthy look these days?
-
I hope Ronnie is not addicted to attention and that he is wise enough to stop with his bodybuiling carreer. He just has been around long enough and he is not an example into which direction bodybuilding should go. I saw Ronnie on stage at the FIBO in April this year and he again looked like a 'pig': way too fat, pregnant of two twins and with no symmertry anywhere.
-
Why do you say he can hold no seminars?
I've been to seminars that Ronnie has been a part of, and I would agree he can't hold them.
He comes across as a very nice guy, but definitely not the type to hold them by himself.
-

Not a particularly difficult feat.

Chicks got a good point, as much as i am a ronnie fan, i wish he retired after his last olympia win. I think he needs to realize the legacy thats at stake!

BBing isnt a real sport. Legacy dont mean anything in the real world outside the cult following. If Ronnie can pick up $250K a yr for next 4-5 yrs doing shows, posing and sponsors, then he should do so. I'd still sponsor him over the mix bag of useless bbers out there at the moment. Anyway...he loves it and has to pay for his woman now.

Is it possible that his sponsors are behind him, on competing again?
-
Most sponsors do have an amount of Pro shows they want Pros to do.Yes you may well be right.Chick would have him Retire but I can't remember how many Olympias Chick WON.Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
-
chik is a jealous has-been who never won a contest that counts. chik should retire from swinging on joe weider's ball bag.
