Ronnie Coleman - 2000 British Grand Prix Prejudging - DVD PICS!!!

Here are some great pics of Ronnie Coleman at the prejudging of the 2000 British Grand Prix. Ronnie was definitely better here than he was at the 2000 Mr. Olympia. He displayed better separation, conditioning and a tighter waist. He dominated the show which included other bodybuilders such as Jay Cutler, Dennis James, Gunter Schlierkamp, Markus Ruhl. Orville Burke and many others. In my opinion this is one of the best showings Ronnie had in his career.

P.S. A few poses are partially blocked by the credits, but they are viewable.

I liked Ronnie's look that year.  Even though he was a tick smoothish at the Olympia, he still stomped a mudhole in a so-so Levrone, who wasn't even as thick in the upper body as he was 9 years earlier at the Jr. Nationals and, out of the blue, lost a tremendous amount of quad size.  (For the small kiddies:  Levrone used to be known for his wheels.  His quads and hamstrings were some of the very best at the 1992 Mr. Olympia, though to get the kind of hamstring detail he had at that show, his back was flat as a pancake and even his crazy-big arms suffered.)

To me, this was Ronnie's apex:  he was huge, cut and could still hold his waist in at that point.  He came in a lot heavier in 2003 but that gut ... oy, vey.  The added size to his quads, which were getting retarded big, and extra thickness in his delts and back only offset that cartoonish stomach because Cutler et al. sucked HARD in '03.

LEVERONE at 91 jrnationals/91 nationals was huge/full every where...he was chiseled /gaunt at the 92 mro but was sliced up and down...

No argument there, my good man.  But he did lose a lot of back thickness, and overall upper-body thickness, to get so peeled for the '92 Olympia.  His legs were just so big at that stage that he could lose a lot of weight and his quads/hams were still super-big and freakily-separated.

Every pic looks insane: front & rear double bicep---- front & rear lat spread


But his side chest is slightly less impressive. His pecs were huge. But His midsection was starting to get a bit too big.

I was in the third row of the Olympia that year (no homo). Though Levrone looked great. Ronnie was on another level. He was the clear winner.

He took the size game to another level that won't be surpassed anytime soon, that being said he has ruined his body in doing so.  No matter how lean he gets he'll always have a huge gut due to the massive amounts of GH he took.

The fact that you always have to bring Dorian up in Ronnie threads just proves how insecure and desperate you are to try and prove that Ronnie was better.

If you truly believed he was better you wouldn't feel the need to try and seek outside validation and constantly bring up Dorian.


HTH.

Dedicated? Ronnie was bbing because he loved it. He wasn't getting anywhere until he beat Flex at the Canadian Cup in 96 (I believe it was). And he was working as a cop. What is more dedicated than doing something because you love it....I think he loved the sport of bbing in terms of lifting, that is where his dedication was. That is where his work ethic went. As far as the drug side, I think Dorian was more dedicated to that because he was Mr. Olympia and had to stay ahead of Flex, Shawn, Levrone, and Nasser.

Dorian beat Ronnie every time that they competed. 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997


And they are about the same age.

Like you said, Dorian's rear lat spread was amazing and looked thick, but as good as his back double biceps was, his back looked like it lost the thickness when hitting that pose. Ronnie's lats flared more and had that 3d pop to it in the back double biceps.

he did... he looked 97% as good in 96-97 as he did in 98, and he was also beating big names. But he just wasnt good enough until Dorian was gone.

98 the only big difference from 97 was his conditioning. The idea that he 'came out of nowhere' is kind of revisionist history/hype... he was winning shows prior to 98.

Nuh uh.... his first big win was NOC in 98.  His size and conditioning never stood out until he kicked the doses into high gear in 97-98.

You make it seem like Ronnie's best was coming second to Dorian all this time, but prime Ronnie and prime Dorian were never on stage together

I never said that... In fact, I said he just wasn't GOOD ENOUGH UNTIL DORIAN WAS GONE.
And I also said his big difference was conditioning. He had the size already.

And he WAS winning pro shows in 96 and 97, like I said. He beat Flex in the 98 NOC, like you said. Dude was on the radar. The whole "he came outta nowhere to win the 98 O" IS revisionist history/IFBB hype machine.

it is pure fact and here is one of a million comparisons for proof:

not just conditioning, but huge size increases. check the quads:

it had nothing to do with dorian leaving, all to do with ronnie becoming way better.

Too bad thats fuckin' 2 years later and not even in the same realm of what was being discussed, dumbshit. Not even getting into the fact that, like always, you use the worst pic you can find of one year and the best pic you can find of 2 years later to try and prove your point.

it had nothing to do with dorian leaving, all to do with ronnie becoming way better.

dorian would lose easily to the ronnie in the second pic, for example:



Yes, this is what i was talking about.  Excellent shots.  Huge improvements in conditioning and size

Well personally I would consider winning Mr Olympia after placing 9th the year before to be "coming out of nowhere" but some may disagree.  And that's ok :)

Never seen a pro fall apart so quickly after retiring.

I never said that... In fact, I said he just wasn't GOOD ENOUGH UNTIL DORIAN WAS GONE.
And I also said his big difference was conditioning. He had the size already.

And he WAS winning pro shows in 96 and 97, like I said. He beat Flex in the 98 NOC, like you said. Dude was on the radar. The whole "he came outta nowhere to win the 98 O" IS revisionist history/IFBB hype machine.

1996 Canada Pro Cup
1997 Grand Prix Russia

Ronnie never beat Flex at the 1998 NOC or any NOC for that matter. Flex beat Ronnie at the 1996 NOC with Ronnie coming in second. Ronnie beat Levrone at the 1998 NOC. Although Ronnie was winning some shows here and there before 1998, they weren't huge shows like the AC etc. He did beat Flex before 1997, but Flex was no where near his best. In my opinion Ronnie did come out of no where to win the 1998 Mr. Olympia. Ronnie not ever being in the Top 5 at any Mr. Olympia before 1998 and coming in 9th place in 1997 screams "Out Of Nowhere" if you ask me.

True. Also FLEX mag did like a 2 page spread of the 1998 NOC so no-one really could see how amazing Ronnie was at that show.

1999 Mr. O, best top 3 ever. Even with synthol Flex.


Another great top 3 was @ 1995 MR O: Yates, Levrone, El Sonbaty.

Sorry, it was the 96 show I was thinking of.

My point is, that as a Pro, Ronnie was on the map. He may not have been a favorite at the O but it's not like he came from an unknown to suddenly being the champ.

i think dorian was borderline mentally unstable.
LOL. Fastforward to 1:04:45 to see Ronnie, a grown man, dumping an entire plate of rice on the restaurant table because he doesn't like that it has tomatoes in it. If that's what a stable man does, I'd rather be Dorian. Some of these guys clearly have maturity/personality/body image problems.

Ronnie had a terrible attitude by the time he retired... Dude became a total cock.

Which is partly his then-new wife's fault. She was basically a giant bitch to everyone at expos, looking to get a free picture or autograph.
