Title: This is Ron Coleman in his prime
Post by: Swlabr on November 21, 2011, 01:05:26 PM


Fuck 2003, this is Ronnie at his all-time best. Look at the minuscule waist, the thick thick dense dense back/chest, massive arms, and colossal legs.

That looked much better than the giant gut he got later on.  I met him once at the DFW airport.  Nice guy!   :)

He was on high doses even there, friend, but Ron made it work. Superb structure and shape.

Obviously. I mean high doses for a long time and its just inevitable to ruin your body.

^this

i've been saying this for years.

guys look their absolute best just as they get their pro cards it seems when they are competing in the NPC. then in order to be more competitive they have to push more and you get stage one palumboism setting in within 5 years of competing as a pro.

those middle eastern cats know how to get dry and stay in good shape for shows. you dont see any kind of palumobism on their competitors. i think it has a lot to do with the expense of the compounds and more reliance on training/ diet (and diuretics come show time)

Those arab dudes get as dry as the desert don't they. What they lack in size they make up for in conditioning.

Quoted for motherf ucking truth!!

Been saying this for eons now.

If you look back at some/most pros amatuer pics,they look far better..............I`m talking about after they max out their frames and "Stage 1 Palumboism" is just starting to get a foothold.

I could be wrong,but I believe most Euro BB`s train high volume....none of this pansy ass 30-45 minute shit.

the bigger middle eastern guys have the same polumbo belly, the ones who dont are not pro size, but they are always in much better condiition than similarly sized fellas in america

He looked amazing there, but not as cut and dry as he was at his very, very best.

Even though I generally disagree with Hulkster's conclusions, I do agree with him inasmuch as Ronnie in '99 was at his best overall.  Was he as "dry" as he was in '98?  No.  Was he as big as he was in 2003?  No, but he was a shitload drier and more detailed.

And for the '98 fappers, Ronnie's added size gave the illusion of greater definition in certain areas.  Further, the added size to the shoulders helped his overall balance tremendously.  He whipped Flex's ass all over that stage.  Cormier and Ray should have been vying for the #2 spot that year.  Syntholated Flex didn't look terrible ... except for his obvious abuse of Synthol in his arms and shoulders! :D

With all do respect, that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard in the history of getbig , unbelievably stupid.....wow, I  can not comprehend how someone can say this is Ronnies best, when he placed 9th at the Olympia shortly after this video. Seriously Ronnies best is when he placed 9th?, huh?, wow, geeez, please stop another post like this I will jump off a building,  ???

Branch Warren is another good example of many......looked incredible as an amatuer just coming on the scene.

Now he looks almost toxic.

Truly, so much better than what he turned into just a few years later.

I don't give a fuck about Olympia placings, I personally think that his physique at that point was perfect.

OK OK, I am giving you a hard time, ;D

You should word it different then, I know what you mean that this version of Ronnie is what you like best, but you can't use the word prime, cause prime would mean officially his best, 8)

True. I just like the whole small waist, thick everything else look. ;)

You prefer '03 Ronnie?

Problem is competitive bbing judges reward the biggest and baddest, a kind of industry wide "bigorexia",
that eventually is the ruin of every bber. flex looked his best his rookie yr, but in order to compete with Dorian and company, he'd have to be bigger. Shawn Ray lost his crispness chasing the bigger boys, Ronnie lost his waist going bigger, and the list goes on, with those that were mentioned before.

And you may see it with Phil. Thing is, Pro bbing, ruins the body, rather than looking like Alq Gurley and making the women cream, you look like a bloated mess and make the Judges and schmoes cream.

You are wrong. Their training is not that much different, just more basic.

No, cause he sacrificed some hardness, I like the 99 version.

Truth is...

In europe there are guys deep inside gyms that do it for years and have physique that makes your eyes pop when you see them. They don't compete, or compete once in their life becouse they don't care. They have nothing to do with "beasts" you see in US. Big bellies, big muscles, overall huge dewds in clothes that weight 31312313 pounds. Those guys weight no more than 220lbs yet they have 20inch arms ripped to bone at 5'8''-6'. Training varies across them. It's from low volume to high volume, it's a matter of personal preference and somtimes they mix it up. They don't use GH or 3iu at most coz they can't afford it. Test medium, anabolics and other compounds HIGH. Nothing special there honestly. The only difference is that they weight 220lbs after 12 years of training. This really makes huge difference.

Oh the only in difference in training is that I don't really know many advanced bodybuilder from Poland that got crappy technique and swing with weights. In US it seems more common somehow but maybe it's just for public. Honestly when I started training at my gym bigger guys always laughed at my form which immitated "pros". They told me shit like this doesn't work unless you take what they take as well. Well I took their advice and it worked.
