I don't think he know how to retire. He must be close to 300 lbs in shape still. Just for fun, or is he planing a comeback or something else, that's the question.

Agreed.

He is actually starting to look better and better. His left side issues are getting noticeably better, and he must be close to 300lbs. If Ronnie was completely retired, he wouldn't be looking like he currently does.

  Oh please, the guy is 44, has several torn muscles and lost the huge edge of muscle mass he established in 2003. Bodybuilding is the sport where guys peak the latest, usually after age 35 to around age 40. But Ronnie, at age 44, is old even by bodybuilding standards and his muscles are deflating. In fact, at the 2005 Olympia, when Ronnie was 41, his muscles were already looking a little flat. Sure, his sheer muscle thickness and maturity were staggering and that's why he won, but his muscles were losing the fullness characteristic of youth and starting to get that flat look that is characteristic of middle aged people. Ronnie reached his peak of muscular development at the 2003 Olympia when he was age 39 going on 40. In 2006 he was 42 and still the most muscular man in the World, but his back was torn and his fullness was even worse than in 2005. At age 44, Ronnie is still in his own league in terms of muscle maturity, and he is still arguably one of the 3 most muscular men in the World, but his muscles now have a middle aged person look to them that is simply not rewarded in bodybuilding.

Think so too. I've seen recent pics of Munzer and he is in terrific shape.

Ronnie on the other hand looks unhealthy as hell.

No, it's not.  ::)


Everyone seems to think that Ronnie's triceps, Chris' triceps, or whatever other tears we're seeing these days, are just going to heal up. THEY WILL NOT.
Like Chick says about guys and their weak body parts (once a muscle is torn, it may be as strong as prior to the tear, yet in BBing it's a visual thing, not a physical one)-

"If a guy hasn't brought up his weak parts by the time he's a pro, he won't. If they can't bring the part up in the 10yrs training it takes to turn pro, how can they suddenly do it overnight once they ARE a pro?!"

That triceps might look thicker, but it's not without any type of outside assistance.

What makes you think he isn't natural/healthy now??  He isn't as big as he used to be "OFFSEASON", and he definitely isn't ripped.  The man still trains (not as heavy when competing), and eats healthy for the most part.  All of the heavy training that he has done over the years has added muscle that will last.  He might not be Mr. Olympia condition, but he is still a way above average bodybuilder.

Another know-it-all. ::)

How did he add all that muscle? It wasn't just the heavy training! He needed plenty of outside supplementation to do so. So as that supplementation goes bye-bye, so does the muscle. :) It is just a matter of time before he shrinks back to his former Mr. O self....210lbs max...and certainly not lean as he ever was before he started his program. :)

If he ever becomes drug free  I bet he'll be a chubby old man...  its easy  to mock on Levrone now that he's like 160 pounds but to be lean,drug free and over 40 its a major sacrifice.....plus the ladies tell him he looks better now wich helps the ego Big time.

Now, Imagine Ronnie at 190 with his skull and jaw as they are now  plus 13 inch calves.... he  might  look much younger  but i dont think we'll see a drug free 40 plus Ronnie.

He rather die for us  or "Jesus".

If he were not so injured, he could easily win at a healthy 44.

Oh, yeah, I am 44 ;)

i dont think its all due to injury,
remember Dorian injured only sucked in the body parts injured  while the rest of physique was outstanding,...while in Ronnie's case  everything looks worse than his former self.....

Maybe he doesnt have the genetics to carry on a champion physique at an older age,
Robby Robinson and Vince Taylor both at 45 would mop the floor with Ronnie at 44.

Dickerson was the oldest Mr. O at 43.

  Yeah, and Dickerson looked like utter shit, and he only won because his competition sucked bigged time. If Ronnie entered this year's Olympia, he would face a prime 35 year-old Cutler who's 275 lbs shredded, a Victor Martinez will perfect symmetry and beautiful aesthetics, a young Wolfe who, although many years away from his prime at age 29, is already 280 lbs shredded and also up-and-comers with such immense genetic potential as Phil Heath. Yeah, seems like middle-aged 44 year-old Ronnie would have a real chance if he were not injured.

Quote
Oh, yeah, I am 44 ;)

  No wonder you are defending him. Too bad: the bottom line is that you're old for all sports, even bodybuilding - the sport where guys reach their primes the latest. But don't feel bad; you're still young for several things. Let's see...for being president, senator, the dean of a university, a surgeon fellow of the American Medical Association, etc, etc. But for sports? Nope. ;)
