This pic has been floating along for the past few weeks. Two thoughts:
1) Ronnie is the greatest Mr. O ever
2) If someone were to step on stage even bigger, it might start looking...um...wrong?
At what point will the size game be played out? Once that happens, what happens to bodybuilding? It will be purely a beauty contest. :-\

great calves

At one point, nobody could imagine the science/chemistry utilized in this sport would have such result as we see in pics like dillet, coleman, nameless others...
Now that its here, it can only get better (worse for health)
I think that its just a matter of how well u respond to substances.
body isnt evolving THAT fast
-
keep in mind that is offseason shape..
so is this:
-
the only purpose served by being that muscular is to entertain the gay community and endorse bodybuilding supplements for teenagers.
bodybuilding contests and mags are mainly supported by the gay community ......
So being that big is to mainly entertain the gay population and to sell supps to the under 18 crowd.
-
I hear they grow them pretty big in Toronto. The red light district especially... :P

I'm not sure I agree with this. Sure, there are muscle schmoes for whom you can never be too big, but that is a very small population. There are a lot of guys that would find Ronnie way too big. Yes, he can look good when he strikes a few poses on stage, but no one can stay ripped and shredded every day for weeks and months. Eventually, you're gonna get that soft doughy look and most gay guys would not go for someone this size. :-\

I don't think there will be another Ronnie Coleman..Most muscular person to walk the earth

Way too much emphasis is put on shape, aesthetics, condition. Bodybuilding should be about 3 things; size, size, size.

first people were huge from hard work and/or genetics, then when they couldn't possibly get any bigger, there were strongman competitions, then when they couldn't possibly get any bigger, bodybuilding started, then when they couldn't possibly get any bigger, steroids came out, then when they couldn't possibly get any bigger, synthol came out, then when they couldn't possibly get any bigger there was hgh, then when they couldn't possibly get any bigger...
there's always going to be another thing, "This too shall pass", unfortunately it's now only attractive to gay guys and looks awesome to guys who wish they were big. Women appreciated Larry Scott in the 50's, women fear Ronnie Coleman now. Women like guys who make them feel safe by being muscular and who appeal to them sexually by being fit, women are afraid of guys that look like a comic book monster. In my opinion, i'd rather see bodybuilders fit and not monsterish, guys in the 202 class that i can look at and say "hey, i could be like that someday" instead of ronnie/dex/jay who i look at and say "hey, if i dosed up to the eyeballs on performance-enhancing substances, i could be like that in 20 years". Just my opinion though :P

Waist can be too big. Otherwise, no such thing as too big.

Good point, but just for future reference, you need to PM the great zaphod for permission to post in his thread.

No, I am not. You seem like an ok guy, that's why I'm giving you a polite heads up. :)

Ronnie is black, and he has strong looking front muscles, so he probably has an awesome butt. Some guys you just look at their butt and you know they work out.

Once it starts looking like this.

Hopefully then the industry will shift back to proportions rather than a mass game.

so greg kovacs should be a contender?
E
For his height I don't think Greg Kovacs is really that big. So no, not a contender. Marcus Ruhl should be regarded as the best bodybuilder of all time.
-
As a Natural and at decently low BF you cannot get to big.

Wrong. It should be all about the Art, even Arnold said that. Too much size looks ridiculous and ugly

the "great" banner? the great 67 post banner? come on, ridiculous. if this guy's got this bad anger management problem, he should get a psychiatrist or a teddy bear to tell his problems to. I hear the teddy bear talks back to you less and costs less money, so it might be a better option. if the world couldn't express an opinion because some kid got upset, we'd all still be grunting and learning how to make fire.

from 93 on the issue with people putting on to much size has been the big bellies. the problem is they reach a point when if they add anymore size they sacrifice actually look good. lets take art atwood for example not the most aesthetic man but his rookie year he was 260 and ripped. but he decided to add another 20 pounds to his contest weight and has not made a impact at a show since the man looks like a penguin. dorian another example at 257 was the freakiest thing at that time ever seen on stage he also opted to add more weight. ronnie his first year he won the o had the most amazing body on a stage. some how he was able to get to 287 and ripped then 296 and really started sacrificing seperation. even cutler no one will argue that he looked his best at 265 in 2001.
i think the problem now is that bodybuilders are constantly expected to put on more and more weight. bodybuilders like haney and arnold brought up weak areas without adding more and more pounds. people will argue you have to gain weight to really make improvements. part of the problem is that bodybuilders are told they have a weak area and they think that adding more and more pounds will fix that problem. in some cases it makes it even worse because they did not focus on the weak area and brought their strong areas with a gain in weight.

Heh heh
Looks how "The Listed" freaks writhe and squirm in agony.
That burning sensation you're feeling? >:(

Seriously Swede, I think in his early days he was big, but in his most recent contests he looked real stringy.

people have been too big for a while now. more people watch BBing competitions in shock of the freakiness rather than in envy of the physiques of those competing. thats what its mostly about, shock value.
you know, like a circus.

Exactyl I agree 100%. If it were more about aesthetics than freaky size, natural bodybuilding would be much bigger.

That will never happen. The steroid genie is out of the bottle; now that people have seen the effects of roids and young guys know that they work you will never see naturals be more popular that juiced BBs.

Yes. Doom has spoken.

Very doubtful that anyone will ever top Ronnie Coleman. He was huge and ripped at the same time.
