I've lost count of all his recent surgeries but this one sounded painful as hell!!
"These are the 2 screws the Dr inserted into my lower back L3-4. This by far is the most pain I have ever experienced in my whole entire life. The pain was so bad the last 2 days I wanted to shoot myself. They gave me every pain pill and morphine drip they had and nothing worked. I finally had my workout partner Pastor Cory say a prayer over me and that eased the pain enough for me to fall asleep. I did awake today feeling a little better but I've been on pain medication every 3 hours non-stop and that is helping me too. I am still very much forward looking to the day this is all over so I can get back to the gym and lift some lightweight baby. Y'all know how I feel about that, it's gonna be on like a Fire Zone. #yeahbuddy #lightweightbaby"

What is happening with Ronnie?
Double hip replacement and his back is done..... being a law enforcement official must have been hard on his body.
-
LOL @ Ronnie. Already dreaming of doing the very activity that ruined him.

Cue Parker arguing that Ronnie is not an idiot. He just has a "southern lisp". ::)

Right before the surgery he was struggling to shrug 180s and swinging while doing curls. I suppose he figured it's being fixed soon anyways. ???
With his neck fused, this, two artificial hips and god know what else he needs to really do #lightweightbaby!

The megadosing allowed him to lift way too much weight for what was a naturally small hip structure.

Hate seeing him like this :-[

Get well soon Big Ron!!

I've said repeatedly that he needs to stop, but that is the only thing he knows.

Statins are one hell of a drug

Hope him to get well soon and back to train.

He needs to find another hobby, like model trains.

that Creatine is rough on the body :D

Looked a lot better in the '91 pic. Dumber than a bag of rocks that one.
-
Needs to get cracking on the heavy squats again. Get back up to 315

I just hope he looks after his health now.

Looks like he will die very soon

I was at the Olympia press conference in 2001 when he made his famous "some people like apples...some like oranges" speech...funny :D

Is that Alti pushing the wheelchair?
-
Quads look smooth, prob needs to get on the letro quick-like.
-
Totally insane.
His woman will probably push him over a cliff should he misbehave again.
-
Like I said before ... bodybuilding, for some, is a disease. Ronnie is living proof of that.
Man ... fuckin cringed when I read his post. Jesus christ, Ron. :/
-
I hope he has good ortho surgeons. He was doing things that made me shake my head after is cervical spine fusion.

Those pics are a perfect answer to what would Lee Haney have looked like using today's drug regimen

Good point on the side effects of long term use!

To be honest - you are right. My friend has had two serious surgeries for his spine, and he's no bodybuilder, just a "weak spot" for him. I'm actually surprised Ronnie has had JUST these already, as his training form was very bad pretty often and weights very heavy.
-
With all the pins and plates in his body, Ronnie is eventually going to morph into pure metal, just like the terminator

You cats don't get it...dudes NEVER going to stop lifting.
He'll be in braces and wraps and implants with a baby growth serum IV attached and still pumping iron long after we are dirt food. 8)
-
Must have cost big bucks to get that done. Must have been some serious pain if no meds would help him. Almost feeling those screws thinking about them...
-
Hopefully this slows down his breeding practices for at least a few months.

What those two screws are supposed to help with? Doesn't look very strong at all. Why not replace bad parts of the spine with titanium? Too difficult?

Its supposed to to help you make it through your day and be able to live a normal live - and yes it's most likely fragile because of the force that the titanium transfers to a relatively small surface...
add to that his Moses like seeding urges and you see - he's totally screwed.

those two pix r what's wrong w bb.
Both pix incredible for different reasons. Top pic is insanely gorgeous physique. (No homo)
Bottom pic is to be respected for sheer mass and what the human potential is. But it looks dumb. Look at his stupid stomach compared to top pic. No flow what so ever. Again I do respect the sheer mass etc.
now that we've seen the people can do it, can't we go back to what it should be? Fans say people won't go if pros aren't freaked out size wise. I think the opposite it true. People sure aren't going to shows now. If not for that physique n women shit bb shows for the most part wood be dead. (Sorry on phone)

Unbelieveable the amount of size that scrawny guy was able to put on his small frame later in his career.
Holy shit, I don't even wanna imagine the amount of drugs this guy was putting into his system for the 2003 prep, that contest prep must've been literally Russian roulette with a 50:50 chance of survival.

"Scrawny?"
Are you looking at a different picture than me? The before picture of Ronnie would be a lifetime achievement for all but the most accomplished Getbiggers.

Replying to the guy who has Heath as the greatest ever. Might as well find a time machine and try to convert Hitler to Judaism.

Ronnie had classic bodybuilding genetics, an ecto/meso mix with wide shoulders, small hips, small joints and unusually large muscle bellies. His excessive drug use allowed him to use poundages better suited to someone with powerlifting genetics, an endo/meso mix, thick from top to bottom, with a wide hip structure and big joints, like Kaz.

"On like a hooker in a nice thong"?
Morphine is a helluva drug.

Unless I've mis-read the definitions, there's nothing ecto at all about Ronnie Coleman.

There are quite some PL'ers with small bone structure. Mike O'hearn for ex. is a classic ecto, but is strong as hell. And Ronnie was quite narrow before bb'ing, that makes it even more impressive.

That might be small boned for pro BB standards, but let's not mistake that for being an ecto frame.

The term I used was ecto/meso:
Note the waist and hip structure:

His shoulders were not naturally wide tho'. Dude has made a huge transformation.

lol at getbiggers being able to tell the exact bone structures of someone lol haha.
-

Note the waist and hip structure:
That's an accurate discription. And very rarely are people one type. The overwhelming majority of people are a combination of the bodytypes.
Ronnie does have a lighter frame , narrow waist & hips , small joints , etc ,
-
i bet at least one nurse got pregnant during his stay in the hospital
That happened when Arnold came to visit big Ronnie and saw a Hispanic nurse in the room .
-
I echo that sentiment .
Ron will go down as one of the greatest bodybuilders in history.
This happens to plenty of former NFL players, so he's not alone.
He has NOTHING left to prove and needs to gracefully move on to the next phase of his life.
This is huge wake up call for regular lifting slobs like me !
After seeing these pics and hearing about the pain Ronnie endured, I'm 100% jarred into a totally new fitness direction:
1. Eat less food and drop wt
2. Lift with mostly machines , use higher reps and slow ,strict form.
3. Regular bouts of low impact cardio ( incline treadmill, trail hikes, stair climber , etc)
Actually, I think that will injure you worse. Just lower your weights...
Drop fat? Uh... Yeah man, I think it's time, lol!
-
LOL @ Ronnie. Already dreaming of doing the very activity that ruined him.
You would think he would just go near clean and give his body a break, but the guy is an addict. He can't stop. All the pain meds will kill him in short time.

I can't believe idiots on here call Phil narrow. Look at those (lack of) clavicles goddammit, Phil looks like Ruhl compared to that :D

My current physique does have some unique advantages.
I have enough fat stores to live without food for months should the zombie apocalypse occur.
Just sayin' ;)

Good pts. Ruhl is a full 1.8 Heath's wide while Ronnie is only 1.7.

But is he wider than Heath?
I want to examine this question thoroughly, but looking at Ronnie in every stage of his life from childhood to his pursuits in academia as a drug free bodybuilder to the greatest champion of a generation to his Olympia downfall to having a broken, battered and shipwrecked physique.
Was he wider than Heath in each era?

Assuming this is scaled correctly...... It's easy to forget how dominant Big Ron was!
It poses the age old question of who's better Dorian or Ronnie?

I doubt it is scaled correctly. I think Ron would dominate him more if so.

You know ... I'm sittin here lookin at the pics ND posted and some of the others my GetBig brothers posted ........................ ....

ND, did you ever catch his Finals posing video from the 2003 Mr O ? Walks out and the whole crows goes silent. PURE ... DOMINATION. You could just hear the " awe " in the crowd. Still gives me shivers when I watch it every now and again.

I have and what's funny is Jay beating him in the prejudging in 2001 , Gunther beating him at the S.O.S in 2002 and Kevin beating him in the posing rounds in 2002 everyone thought 2003 Ronnie was finally going to get beaten lol and man did he just obliterate all of them badly. Ronnie sent a message in 2003 for sure. But it was the beginning of the end , he started to go down hill from then on. But he cemented his legacy 8 straight , most pro wins ever.

I heared he will make a comeback at this years O....he will take it all.

One of the few Olympias where there was virtually no debate about the winner.
As an aside, I recall reading an article about the show. The writer questioned what Ronnie had to do to achieve that level of development. I had been reading bbing mags for 20 years and that was the first time a writer showed concern, albeit indirectly, about a bodybuilder's drug intake.

Phil wins. Ronald's lats were already imbalanced at this point; I don't know why it doesn't receive greater attention.

Agree with everything in your post. He, without a doubt, sent a message that year. And I remember it being a very emotional win for him as well. Mainly because, as you said, a lot of people had Jay, Gunther, etc. winning that show. " Overthrowing the King " as it were. Well ... not that day. Nope. No one but God stood a chance of beating him that day lol.

My friend ... I can't even begin to imagine what cycle he was on for that year. Clearly, health went out the door for that contest. Ronnie was looking to redemption ... and nothing else lol

Ronnie's legacy---when you only know of one thing or are known for that one thing, you are defined by it. What made him, will destroy him, and he allowed it.
He apparently can't do anything else, because that is the only he really knows. He possibly never really found anything else that gave him that desire or euphoria.

Not sure how his supplements sell because it's a competitive market; However, he does have that business.

I am wondering: should we give him support for all he's done? Or should we throw him in the gutter for what he'd done ?
Both I gues....... ???
