Bodybuilding is an ILLUSION AT TIMES .. Shawn in his prime, Phil Heath, Benfatto, Labrada, Zane, etc... But when it comes to Coleman, there is NO illusion. Rumor is that in prson he was super massive. So let us hear who seemed almost regular in clothing up and close and who seemed larger than life.
PS: I met and talked to Sonny Schmidt and Clairmonte in person off season both. Charles was massive.
-
some friends of mine have seen Jay and Ronnie and apparently, Jay doesn't even look in the same league as Ronnie when "in person"
-
Seen him twice in Person - UNREAL!!! HUUUUUGE is the only word I can use to describe him!!

I live pretty close to Ronnie, Branch, and Johnnie.
I've seen Ronnie numerous times back in 03 and 04 leading up to the Olympia, which was his biggest and heaviest. In person he was UNBELIEVABLE!! Pictures don't do him justice.
-
No not ronnie ...But I served this dude a soda pop when i just got out of high school and worked at round table pizza in culver city, ca. ... he came in twice once with a hot azz white girl, ordered a half sprit half Orange soda... and then again with a white gay guy and ordered the same drink, but this time the white guy said to chris, DUDE YOUR GOING TO LOSE YOUR ABS, where chris proceeded to lift his shirt up for the white dude and flex his abs for him at the pizza joint

Seen him twice in Person - UNREAL!!! HUUUUUGE is the only word I can use to describe him!!
I have seen him in person several times since he first went pro and even judged him in the hvy wt class in the nationals ( the yr he was selected for the world team and passed the drug test) he never won his class at the NPC nationals , he got his card by winning the hvy wt worlds in '91.
Ronnie was the most impressive BB ever, to see in the gym or just walking around.
Joel Stubbs is also incredible in person, really, really wide at over 6 ft tall.
-
Here he is at this years olympia.....
NO ONE has arms with that type of granite muscle and vascularity.
Jay's arms look like Balloons next to Ron.
I'd be startled seeing this in person.
-
Why is that little fat kid there? That kid sure is fat.

funny, thats what ronnie probably said about your nose and gums ;D
-
Paul Dillet was the biggest BB I've ever seen in person.
-
I worked out with him, well, in the same gym several times with him in the mid 80's in Dallas. The man was enormous, unlike anything I've ever seen before or since. At that time he wasn't at all like now or in the 00's but his arms definitley were! Totally incredible. It was a little gym called Living Well... Maybe someone here knows of it. Someone used to drop him off and pick him up in this old beat up like Datsun B210 or something with a Dominos sign on top. I think he delivered pizza in that thing if I am not mistaken but the guy was friendly and approachable and unmistakenly destined for greatness. Re: other post, yes it was totally startling watching him curl 65's like they were 15's. Those arms, have to be the best ever!
-
when i first met ronnie it was in 2002 at golds venice he was weeks from the olympia, 318 lbs. 7% bodyfat........very huge, bigger than any bber i ever knew or met, once u seen ronnie like that, then u know what big is!
-
funny, thats what ronnie probably said about your nose and gums ;D
Hahahahahhaha - that really was funny!
Now, Post up a picture of yourself Brad Pitt! ;D
Watch you really look like Brad Pitt lol
-
I've seen him probably more than anyone on this board minus Bobert and maybe Yaroni....I've seen him in 99 in the 250s...offseason in 320s...at his biggest in 04 and of course post retirement...Ronnie is huge and ripped from every angle no doubt about it....I've seen and spoken with Ronald about 10-15 times between the Olympia, guest posings etc...
Every time I saw him, I was actually de-motivated cause I thought I'll never look like this guy.
-
some friends of mine have seen Jay and Ronnie and apparently, Jay doesn't even look in the same league as Ronnie when "in person"
in their prime Ronnie easily makes Jay look like a second tier bodybuilder.
-
greg kovacks was enormous.
-
Just saw Ronnie Coleman a half hour ago here at the NPC Nationals in Atlanta. Was going to Gold's Gym here a few minutes from the hotel to work out. He is in great shape, and still looks huge. Like he may compete one day somewhere, although he is denying it now.
And still quite popular. On the way to the Hard Rock Cafe for a bite to eat (myself, not Ronnie), Ronnie got stopped three times for photographs from fans. Ronnie graciously took the pics, then headed into Gold's Gym.
-
My friend saw cutler when he came to stjohns said he looked like shit. Really short and stocky.

Don't worry, you won't even how hard you try :D
I beg to differ, he lives in my neck of the woods, doubt you seen him that much.
-
As I posted in another thread, I saw Lee Haney up close at Gold's Venice a few days after the 88' Olympia. Lee was so big, thick, and dense it was crazy. I can only imagine what Ronnie in his prime looked like in person!
-
Freakiest human i have ever seen in person. Yates still the better bodybuilder, but for shock and awe, no one comes near big Ron.
-
A friend of mine talked to ronnie at some expo or something back in 2005 i think
he said the first thing he noticed was how big and thick ronnie's butt was..... :-\
the sad thing is, he meant it as a bodybuilding related comment
-
met him 4 years ago at an autograph signing at a local supplement store.......i asked him if he was human, he laughed.
-
Ronnie and Jay are both MASSIVE in person, don't anybody mislead you. At natls one year Jay sat one row in front of me and some friends and he literally had to use 2 folding chairs and his arms just looked unreal.
-
I met Ronnie back in 94 at Marina Pacific Hotel in the lobby, I was kinda surprised at the fact that he appeared more like 5 foot 9 than 5 foot 11, as I had a couple inches on him. But geezus he was huge
-

No shit.....Of course I didn't take into account the fellas such as yourself that stalk him.....forgive me.
-
Saw him in Venice at Gold's one time. Not impressed. Fucker sounded dumb as rocks and was breathing heavy just walking into the gym. Also saw Phil Heat at Denver Airport. Dude was the biggest guy around but short as hell and dressed like a fool in his kneegrow garb and track suit.
-

Saids the guy who can't get Kai's, and now Phil's dick out of his mouth ::)
-
I saw Ronnie Coleman at the BSN booth at the Olympia Expo in '08. The guy's arms were massive and the vein running down the side of the bicep was about as thick as one of my fingers - it was hard to tell how much he weighed cos he was sitting down signing photos but the guy was huge and very impressive to see in person.
I've also seen Dorian Yates walking round Temple Gym when he was 300lbs offseason back in 1996. That was even more impressive because up to then in my life I'd never seen someone have to wear clothes so huge just to accommodate his back - it was crazy.
All things considered - Dorian was more impressive but then he was at his peak and Ronnie had already retired by then so I guess it's not a fair comparison.

Ronnie that we see at the expos while impressive is nothing like seeing him in his prime...nothing...Ronnie>Dorian no doubt about it.
-

Ronnie is big no doubt.....just not a real impressive individual.

I'm sure he is - I would have loved to have seen Ronnie in his prime circa '03 - he's a tad taller than Dorian so he would definitley have looked bigger, especially in the quads and arms.
-
Someone said Dillett looked big 'in person'.. what about this other guy??
-
Someone said Dillett looked big 'in person'.. what about this other guy??
Dillet doesnt look impressed ;D
-
I guess Phil won't be as impressive 'in person'... Imagine putting him next to Ronnie, Dorian, Dillett og Lou...
-
Someone said Dillett looked big 'in person'.. what about this other guy??
And that was a young Dillett, at that...265 in competition shape, not the 280 pounder later on (300 plus off season)Saw him in Venice at Gold's one time. Not impressed. Fucker sounded dumb as rocks and was breathing heavy just walking into the gym. Also saw Phil Heat at Denver Airport. Dude was the biggest #### around but short as hell and dressed like a fool in his kneegrow garb and track suit.
Okay, Phil is 5'9, I wouldn't call that short as hell, and dressing in track suits, is not "kneegrow garb", cause Jay Culter wears that as well. Plus, for a jacked up "short guy" he can dunk a basketball, can you?
-
And you can't take mine from yours :D
I should be in Vegas in a couple of months, I am going to find you Figgs 8)

I'm 6'5. And yes 5'9 is short for a male. Sorry. And yes a FUBU track suit and doo rag on your head ala Bloods and Crips circa 1980s Los Angeles is fucking kneegrow garb.
-

Well, you do know that a person who is 6'5 has a shorter lifespan than one who 5'9 or shorter (but it can be evened up with the Pro level drug intake)
Phil is Jordan Brand type of guy, and hats, from what he usually wears, a doo rag would be out of place...but many still do wear one under a cap, to keep the waves in...like Kali Muscle here

I have heard this so many times : that pics don't do him justice. He musta been hyooge

You are almost as big as him on 1 gram of test a week... why don't you shoot 3 grams along with lots of hgh and slin and win th mr Olempeeya ?

So what? Taller people get better jobs, get better women, and overall are usually more successful in life. They also have bigger coronary arteries and are less prone to heart disease and strokes.

I was serious .. I know Marcos was honest about maintaining 120 kg with 1 gram a week. Imagine him on Ronnie type megadoses ::)
-

actually he said he maintained with 750mg of only test! lol
and that orals gave him headaches so he hated orals..but loved giving them wink wink
Too bad Lee Priest and Marcos will never go over 750mg of test, we can only imagine how huge they woulda been ::)

Gunther was impressive in person as well.....big as a house. Dexter was very unimpressive, guy is about 5'6" and strutting around like a little bantam rooster.

PS: I met and talked to Sonny Schmidt and Clairmonte in person off season both. Charles was massive.
I met Ronnie twice in person. He guess posed at a show I did a long time ago and then at a gym in Yonkers, NY.
In person - he is almost beyond human.
-

Dexter hit on my girl at NOC in NYC, I think it was 98' It was the Year the Ruhle won. My girl is not into black guys and laughed it off. She is tall and blond so i know how the brothers roll like that.

I think your wife is a spy for Obama.
-
ive seen your mom this week in the shopping centre and she wasnt exactly the smallest either haha very impressive.
-
I think your wife is a spy for Obama.
I girl hates Obama as much as I do. Even her liberal parents hate the guy. Mostly due to his support for the mosque, the civilian terror trials in manhattan, and obamacare.
As for Dexter - he is a punk. Screw him.
-

Dexter is the only pro i met and he looked way smaller than i tought he would.

Ronnie came to do a guest pose at my gym back in 2006. He was big as a house and friendly to all.
I saw Dexter & Chris Cormier at an autograph signing at another gym. They were both stuck up tools. They kept ordering staff around like they were puppets to do their bidding. They even had one gym staff member run out and get them Teriaki from a japanese restuarant down the street. Unbelievable.
-
Dexter is the only pro i met and he looked way smaller than i tought he would.
I agree, he was very unimpressive.....didn't help that I had just met Ronnie..... ;D
-
-
maybe that time when you guys met dexter he went for the unimpressive look?
-
seen him in 2001, 2002, 2003 and he was by far the biggest pro ive ever seen and ive seen quite a few
-
I've always been impressed with Lenda Murray in person. She is always in shape and even after retiring looks 15 years younger than she is.

Ronnie is huge.
I have also seen Dexter Jackson, he's tiny. I could spit on his head, he was really too short. Then i also met that russian dude who was totally hyped up a few years ago, don't remember the name. He was impressive too.
All the others that i have met were rather funny.

No...when Gunter was off the drugs, he looked like an average guy.
I saw him at the Olympia expo walking with his wife in 2009 and he was not impressive at all
Its amazing how much these guys shrink when they are off.
Especially Melvin Anthony. He looked like a normal negro off the sauce!
-
Pro bb'rs dont have a thing on Jonathon Ogden the lineman who use to play for the Ravens....stood next to him in Vegas...dude was friggin huge!
-
yes but dont they all look human without the drugs?
-

Thats good that your girlfriend is not into black guys. We do not want them polluting our women!
-
yes but dont they all look human without the drugs?
True.
Imagine if more people can get their hands on some juice.
A few people cant afford it and some just dont have the resources on obtaining it.
Bodybuilders arent really that special. Some just fell into fame because they had the resources and had help along the way.
Imagine if people had the resources and steroid use was legal.
Imagine the possiblilities...there could besome people out there that can make today's current pros look like nothing
-
I also met swiss BB Phil von Kaenel once in a shopping mall, he's a big dude as well.
Looked very funny among all the other people, but he's a tad too short as well to be really impressive.

You think that if steroids were legal, everybody in streets would run 100m under 10 seconds?
Yeah right ::)
-

No, but there would be alot of people that can probably break many records.
What I am trying to say is that a lot of pro bodybuilders are an exception because they have the ability to obtain the drugs, afford good nutrition, have the ability and resources to train, ect
You have to have the "enivoronment" in order to make you successful.
If people could have this, you would see many people who would make today's pros look like nothing.
Do you understand what I am trying to say?

Sorry, but i disagree.
Steroids are legal in many countries and have been in the US before, and not much has changed since then. there weren't more or better Bodybuilders or athletes around in the 70s and 80s, and there aren't 100s of thai bodybuilders because steroids are legal there.
-

I disagree with you.
Some are not able to eat good foods, be able to eat high nutrition, or have the financial means to be that successful in this sport.
Example: brazilian fitness chicks (the white looking girls), you can tell that they use drug enhancements. They are much more sexier than the US figure girls. Some have the means to live this lifestyle and afford certain drugs

Dont you think that many of today's successes is based on "opportunity".
This is to include examples of millionaires...some became millionaires because the time was right and because some had the means to do it.
The same could be said of bodybuilders. Some just have the right opportunity to make it big in the sport...couple that with good genetics, be able to get drugs, be able to afford food, ect...

come on, steroids are dirt cheap and food is as well in a lot of countries, and in all countries you also have wealthy people that could afford it.
The fact is just that, even IF steroids were legal and cheap, not a lot of people would go so far as to inject themselves just for fun several times a day with different hormones, swallow other prescription drugs to fight the side effects and so on.
It's not the money or availability that keeps people from looking like pros, it's the extremes these people go to. You have so many gym rats on steroids in the US, and i think lots of them could spend a lot of money on steroids, but they just don't want to go further.
For example, i spend a lot of money on high quality food, i could get much more food if get got a lower quality, and in Japan steroids are legal for personal use, i could import as much steroids as i wanted, and money is also no concern here.
But why should i do that? I'm not interested.

You have a good point!
Guess I have to move to Japan then! I didnt know it was legal for personal use.

Yes, i heard from a guy in the gym that "you gaijin have it easy, you can speak english. You can order steroids online, i can't read english so good."
If that's the biggest hurdle, i don't wonder why the guys in the gym are so strong. ;D
-
maybe that time when you guys met dexter he went for the unimpressive look?
lol

Pro bb'rs dont have a thing on Jonathon Ogden the lineman who use to play for the Ravens....stood next to him in Vegas...dude was friggin huge!
are you saying a 6'8 - 6'9 340 - 345 guy is more impressive then a 5'10 324 lb offseason ronnie with shredded arms?

No,I guess I worded wrong.never have seen Ronnie in person.the combination of Ogdons height and size was like "holy shit :o"
-
in a shirt he'd look more impressive (fat takes up more volume), minus the shirt ronnie would look more impressive (3dimensional)
look at big show and coleman from this year

yeah, look where J. Ogden wound up and he didn't.

Most Throwers at that level are beasts. Look up Christian Cantwell, Lance Deal, Adam Nelson, or a few others.

Some of those Shot Putters are monsters.

In the old Golds in Santa Monica I saw Tony Pearson pressing 100lb db's and start posing, big guy. Then the most ripped dude was working some legs turned out to be Les Galvin, veins everywhere and I think he won the california that year.
Then Robby was working his arms with some lady and everytime he moved a muscle popped up amazing.
Kent Keuhn put my sister on his shoulders for a pic and he was a thick guy too...

No...when Gunter was off the drugs, he looked like an average guy.
I saw him at the Olympia expo walking with his wife in 2009 and he was not impressive at all
Its amazing how much these guys shrink when they are off.
Especially Melvin Anthony. He looked like a normal negro off the sauce!
So? I'm saying when I saw him, not 5yrs after.....

Yes, Melvin is pathetically small of the juice...he's not even really that big on.

I tend to agree with EwaBeachBoy.

funny how a lot of getbiggers that hate bodybuilding and think it's gay just so happen to be in the same buildings as pro bodybuilders

I've met quite a few pro's that have been into Gold's Venice. Ronnie was by far the freakiest human being I've ever been around. Jay was pretty impressive, size wise, but he didn't really have that freak factor Coleman does, no one I've ever seen has that.

bump.. intriguing thread

I saw him in person, actually i sat next to him in small ass chairs ( but reall small ass chairs, my ass couldn't fit that well i thought they will bring him special bigger chair )
well he was massive as fuk, but not as wide as i thought...
-
i was close to markus ruhl and an expo and my delts were not that big next to his.
-
Funny you guys say that about Dexter! After the Flex pro show in L.A. he was walking around in a shirt. My G.F. pointed him out and said "Look that guy must be his that black guys brother who was on stage" I said "No babe thats him" she said "OMG he looks so small in a shirt" hahahah!!!
-

I always wanted to see Marcus in person. Coleman must have been incredible, but Marcus must have you that "wtf huge' factor going just because of his width. Cutler was humongous when I saw him but didnt look like much of a 'bodybuilder'- stalky and blocky with no veins at all
-

Maybe you should have asked him what his delt routine was like big guy?
-
I've seen both Ronnie and Jay several times. I'll echo that Ronnie in his prime was an absolute monstrosity. Kind of a prick, though. Dexter was tiny, also a prick.
Titus looked like a douche in a Kangol cap and North Carolina blue tank.
Tom Prince offseason was inhumanly massive.
Vince Taylor was the nicest, most personable guy and has incredible arms.
Liar Priest is an awkward man for sure. Looked like he wanted to crawl under the folding table and hide from people.
-
Dexter is a prick in person. I met his tiny ass at a BB show a few years and and he is a douche.
-
I saw Ronnie when I went to Vegas for the '08 Olympia - he was signed photos at the BSN booth. I didn't join the queue but it was still cool to see him in person - the vein in his bicep was as thick as my middle finger - unreal - probably one of the most impressive bodybuilders I've ever seen. Unfortunately I never got to see Jay at the Expo so I can't compare the two. I did see Dennis James in the lobby wearing a tank-top and all tanned up ready for the prejudging - again, very impressive - couldn't get over the contest shape size and conditioning - up to that point I'd only seen a few good UK amateurs in contest shape off the stage itself and I thought that was fairly good - these guys were just in another league altogether.
-
met ronnie in person - thick as fuck... like the rest of the big pros... its all about the thickness
-
some friends of mine have seen Jay and Ronnie and apparently, Jay doesn't even look in the same league as Ronnie when "in person"
very true
-
I saw the Ronster backstage at the 98 O...he looked amazing. freaking huge and shredded....he nailed it and he knew it.
then we bullshitted a little an hour later waiting for a cab on the side of MSG he was with Vickie and I was with my ex.....Really just a nice man...very humble and had like an innocent quality....he couldn't believe he won....he said that at least 5 times.
-
Ive seen Yates, Gunter, Jay, Ronnie, Nasser, Dillett, and Levrone in person.
Ronnie, Yates, and Gunter were the most impressive.
Jay was the coolest out of those guys.
-
Seen him twice in person, He's huuuuuge, no illusion, nothing!! He's just all around HUGE!
-
Just from reading all those posts I really miss this guy from the pro scene.. :'(.
I dont think we will ever see a guy like that up there...the new crop of pros is slowly comming to the scene...no charisma, they all look the same, same training, same clothes same attitude..

i agree.
i guess hes like basketballs michael jordan or hockeys wayne gretzky. every once in a very few decades someone comes along and totally dominates their field and sets a standard that will never be surpassed.
-
I met Ronnie back in 2008. Huge as a house. He weighed around 280-290.
I also met Jay this year one week after he won the Mr. O. He was huge as well, but he didn't have that, "That fucker is huge" look like Ronnie did.
-
I saw Ronnie walk through the lobby of the Mandalay Bay casino before the Olympia in 2001 and the dude was unreal. He didn't even look like a real person. His shoulders and back are what stood out. I met him a year or so later and he was just as impressive up close. Huge dude.
-
Bodybuilding is an ILLUSION AT TIMES .. Shawn in his prime, Phil Heath, Benfatto, Labrada, Zane, etc... But when it comes to Coleman, there is NO illusion. Rumor is that in prson he was super massive. So let us hear who seemed almost regular in clothing up and close and who seemed larger than life.
To the best of my knowledge, Ronnie is one of the few black people who hasnt been to prison.
-

I saw Jay in person three years ago..he was signing autographs at GNC and he signed my magazine cover....he was so goddamn massive it was crazy...definitely the biggest human I have ever seen..in shape that is
-
I've already been to the zoo and seen the gorilla enclosure. Sir Ronald of Coleslaw will shrink with time and the absence of copious amounts of dope in his turgid physique. When that happens, even those that worship him will make fun of him.
-
I saw ronnie up close at the expo and "meet the olympians" at the Olympia in 2007. He was huge standing next to normal folks. Jay was big and ripped but didn't look that freaky. However the two biggest and most superhuman by a mile were Dennis Wolf and Toney Freeman. I felt like a child beside them. They even made all the other pro's look almost normal. Freeman's arm looked about 24". On the other hand, I shook hands with Dexter and Dugdale and felt big standing next to them. Bob Chicherillo was hanging around and he's a big dude in person.

How did Bob look while standing next to the ice machine???
