Throw some tan on and he will look even better.

Jesus-- At 4 weeks out with no tan, he looks like he could step on stage right now and place in the top 10 forsure.

If he continues to perfect his physique over the next 4 weeks without spilling over, he looks like he could contend for a top 5 spot.

He's the only bodybuilder I have seen to do real front squats, I got to give it to him.

That's because back is his weakest part...and Olympia judges want a strong & thick back- which Ronny is severely lacking.

I think if Ronny was able to bring up his back on par with all his other parts, he would be Mr. O before Heath or the next up and comer. But that will never happen...(to quote Bob C.) if it hasn't happened up to this point after working out 15yrs+ he won't be able to do it in the time he has to become Mr. O.

Think about the list handful of Mr. O's...Cutler, Jackson, Coleman, Yates, Haney, Bannout, Dickerson, Colombu, Zane, Arnold, Oliva and Scott. All of them had backs. Jackson, Zane and Dickerson had the weakest backs, Zane being the worst but still diced at the time and that's what the judges wanted. Same for Dickerson.

Depending on the judges tastes of the era, they all want a good back. Either thick, detailed or both. Ronny has neither.

I agree. You can have the best arms, legs, shoulders and chest, but if you lack a good back, you will never be Mr. O.

If, and its a big if, get gets everything right, he could place real high this year. Looking good so far based on those pics.

Ronny placed 7th at the Olympia last year.  Since 1990 only two other bodybuilders under 5'6 have placed better [Lee Priest and Mohammed Benaziza].

Here is Ronny's back at the 2010 ASC:

He may be a midget but he looks fucking awesome. Very complete build only thing missing is a elite pro back, He's getting there though.

I agree. Looks freaking awesome. However, the flat stomach will earn him only 10th place. For 1st place, you need a gut.

That other Ronnie, you know the 8x Mr. O, did them, and so does Melvin Anthony.
