to build his physique the earlier years

By all accounts, he trained with plenty of volume--with weights far heavier than what we could use, but still. He would only max out to ham it up for his videos

pretty much
this is what i also concluded
people get carried away by his videos of 800+ squats and deadlifts and then think ronnie coleman did low reps all the time

He max'd out for video and was on a power trip at his peak. Blew out his back in 96 and kept pushing... wise fella.

With your spaghetti arms you should quit bodybuilding and get a job reaching down drains to retrieve lost rings and stuff.

Why are your forearms so long and slender? Reminds me of Goodrum with those limp wrists.

There's no "Bodybuilding" without volume and drugs. Which doesn't mean it's the way one should train if one wants to be in shape or even muscular to some degree. But even considering this, training heavy/low reps does give a density you can't acquire otherwise. Ronnie did it, Yates did it.

Ronnie trained volume like 90% of the time. Also Yates did a healthy number of sets himself, even if he only considered the top set to be a "work set"

While I agree he probably did higher reps more often than not (as do most bodybuilders), I would guess that he also did a fair amount of heavy training (more so than the other pro's at least).
I'm simply not sure if he would risked doing such big lifts in his videos so close to a show unless he was confident in being able to handle the weight and having plenty of experience in using heavier weights before. The risk of injury would have been too much otherwise.
I could be wrong of course, Ronnie was the never the smartest of guys. :D
