Badass
Not without your shaker.

has he made the announcement on if he'll compete at the Olympia 2016 yet?.......according to Ronnie, it's a possibility.....

Dude just don't give up.

Yelling light weight baby in the gym with 135 pound rows :-\. Dude is mentally ill

"Trying my best to get these 17.234567890 inch arms bigger but I'm running out of time at the moment. I'm having my 6th surgery in 2 weeks. This will be my 3rd back surgery since 2007, I have both hips replaced and my neck fused at level 5,, 6, and 7. But y'all know there's no quit in me. That old saying quitters never win and winners never quit was invented for me. That's the way real champions DNA is made up. I've had people ask me from time to time if I had it to do all over again would I had lifted any lighter and my answer is always, hell no, I would lift heavier because I'm still mad at that 800 pound squat I did for 2 reps. I know Gus fact I could have done at least 5 reps. I quit at 2 because that's what I told myself I was going to do when I got under the weight. It's all good though I will be coming back really strong after this next surgery and for sure I'll get these 17.234567890 inch arms bigger. Yeahbuddy I can't wait. It's gonna be on like a pot of neck bones. #yeahbuddy, #lightweightbaby, ##aintnothingbutabucketofpeanuts"

Watching Ronnie train and yell his catchphrases isn't the same same when he's half the size. :-\

Elbows too pointy. No, really, what's wrong with his elbows?
-
You guys know what, I love the guy as a fellow BB and back in the day watched his videos and all,
but if that's what leads to so much medical problems hell I'm not ashamed I don't lift 1/3 as much!!!!
Just my feelings, not hating!
-
Watching throw around those weights make me hurt and I don't have half the physical problems he does. Shouldn't he be content with controlled movements using moderate weights?

wonder if Brian Dobson has ever run a mop and duster inside that gym

The gym looks disgusting honestly. No AC, guys sweating all over the benches, no thanks.
But the atmosphere must be like no other.

Yes the atmosphere is awesome, but it's things like that which make me glad my shoulder hurts like hell from a tetanus shot yesterday

Look at those Dickerson rivaling elbows...
-
Wow elbows.

If the docs changed the tips after they draw the med, would be so much better.
-
Coleman should quit while he still has some mobility..
He is going to wind up a parplegic..
Oh well :-\
-
Wow elbows.
-
Sadly he will not stop until he cannot move at all and is a wheelchair which is a shame because He has little kids at home. There is no need for this. He has nothing left to prove.
-

They should, at least mine does. Last time the nurse told me one of the interns forgot to switch the needle after drawing the vaccine and gave it to some guy, but he took it well. Glad it wasn't me. ;D

most people expect pain from a needle either way I think,lol... Still can't say I like doing it though but miss is when I take a break.
-

Exactly, he's won everything. Except the race with Father Time.
Even if he were in a wheelchair he won't stop---not unless he loses his arms and legs. Hell, even then, I can see him putting on a head harness and trying to build up a neck.
-

I think it's not about proving something (he doesn't need to anyway) but rather that Ronnie doesn't know anything else to do other than lifting.
-
he has two main passions, bodybuilding and making babies. He will continue ur to do both until the day he takes his last breaf

It's like a drug to some but at some point you have to face reality and see that you're doing more harm than good. He does a lot of traveling so I know his hips and back have got to be killing him and then he is doing these workouts on top of it. I will always admire his passion and love for training. What made him great will also be his undoing.
-
at the rate he is going ronnie will be competing in the wheel chair mr olympia
-

Yep, that is the sad thing. Bodybuilding/weight training defines him. Not even being a police officer. He has nothing else in life that defines him.

Why should someone stop doing what they love and what makes them happy? Life isn't all about just health and safety unless you want to live a boring passion-free life. I never get those people who spend a ton of dough risking their lives and putting themselves through hell just to climb a mountain. A person I know who is into climbing and hiking said he does it because he loves it. It makes him feel alive. I get that. I realize it's the same as when people tell me I should give up Jiu-Jitsu because I'm so old and injury prone. But that's what I like to do. The price paid is worth it to me. Just like those mountain climbers and has been bodybuilders.
But this is GetBig. No matter what you do people here will criticize and mock you. If Ronnie stopped training and got fat and out of shape people here will still criticize and mock him. So if he's going to be criticized and mocked no matter what he does, he might as well just do what he wants to do. But when all of us are dead and buried Ron Coleman will always be remembered as one the greatest bber of his time and the rest of us won't be remembered for anything.
And unlike so many here, Ronnie genuinely seems like a happy man and is enjoying life no matter what set backs he has.
"Nothing left to do but to do it."

elbows too pointy, would not hit.

That video made me sad. Nothing more to say. :'(
-
Did he really have spine surgery?
-
One of the reasons why you should only lift every other day is to allow recovery. If you are constantly tearing down without resting....
-

gh abuse
-
retard of peace...
-
Lighter weights will still work for him. I don't know why he still worries, just train to work the muscle. You can't just keep going heavy it fucks you up. The best I felt and looked was when I said fuck it i'm using lighter weights, doing the movements slower but still going to failure. Never had any joint issue since.
-

that adds to the charm of the gym, any moment you expect a pack of rats to scurry across the floor... ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
if Ronnie can read, I'd suggest he read this book by Daniel Coyle, "How to quit like a Champion".....that might put some senses back into his head
-

He can't even perform a 135 pound BB row correctly, prob because his hips hurt like hell..

More like his hips, elbows, knees, back, neck, shoulders and maybe even his fingers and toes all hurt like hell.

That basically sums it up.

Yup. To listen to him is to know he's an ignorant one trick phony.

Like taking a shot of gear, my shoulder made me feel like I should hit the gym, the fever the last 12 plus hours said otherwise

I'm not so sure that the word "mentally" can be used in the same sentence as "Ronnie Coleman". Unless of course, you add in the word "challenged".

Same here.
Last week a good friend of mine and I were talking about extra curricular activities and I brought up how through my whole life that the people who questioned why I like working out were the same who had no problems themselves spending up to 3-5 times more hours a week doing what they enjoy like for example golf, watching/playing sports, playing/listening to music, art, knitting, drinking and posting on getbig etc.
In the end it's really none of our business what people like to do, especially if they are not directly affecting anyone else in a negative way

Well, that's the problem with social media. If its on social media, and people comment on it, so be it. Of course Ronnie can choose whatever activity he wants to partake in. But no one is allowed to bitch and moan if they put something on social media and are taken to task.
As Ronnie Coleman would say, "Everybody wannna have a platform to speak, but don't nobody wanna be criticized."

His faith is as farcical as his reliance upon snake oil supplements. As I said before, he's a one trick phony. I despise him for what he is.
-

Not really a "phony" because the guy still had to work hard for his physique. The high amounts of drugs made him feel like superman, but those days are over, he really needs to accept that. He destroyed his body by lifting heavy, yet he's still trying to lift heavy... dude is a moron. His IQ is probably around 80... no joke.
-

Aren't we all like that one way or another. Athletes, sportsmen, fitness enthusiasts etc..... the most addictive, psychopathic, obsessive-compulsive people on earth.

Quote of the day. He's the one putting it out there and telling us he's going to get his gains back. For what? He looks amazing! The man is over 50 years old and looks amazing despite the surgeries. I don't know many 50 year olds walking around like Ronnie.
I've seen this happen a lot. People get defined by this stuff and they can't let it go. They continue on with the body dysmorphia issues instead of pouring their energy into the rest of their lives like relationships and so on. You have to have more going on than just this physical stuff because everyone will get old.
what made him great is what will make him be in a wheelchair in the next ten years. He's awesome and amazing period. He doesn't need to break himself down to the point where he can't do anything
-
Who says steroids aren't addictive?

He does haven nothing left to prove. Strongest bodybuilder ever. Check. Most Olympias check. His body has been wrecked for the sport. Time to go out to stud. Lift a more moderately and let the warrior mentality go. The goal should be health instead of big weights.
-
Better to burn out than to fade away... :-\
-
I admire his drive, but he is being plain dumb.
He should train but with very, very light weights. This will not end well.

He sat right there in a roundtable discussion with Shawn Ray and Flex Wheeler and when Shawn said, "What made Ronnie, broke Ronnie", Ronnie agreed. So, he knows, he just can't let it go. That defines him. And it's sad. To see him just deteriorate like this. Well, his obsession has lead him down this road, and it's a sad one.

LOL he should start chalistenics, fuck the weights at this point
-

Take the Ronnie Coleman name out of the equation and I don't think I'd want to work out in a place where people are yelling and screaming while doing bentover 135 barbell rows or people who make noises doing one arm preacher curls...Probably a lot of yelling while guys warm up with 135 on the bench...

Dorian Yates' gym was the same way. I remember reading an article years ago of someone going into Diamond gym and wondering if they were going to need a tetanus shot. And also the hardcore nature of the atmosphere.
It seems that the most well known or best Mr. Os come from those hardcore places.
-

'calisthenics'
I believe that's too risky as well, since his core is fucked. He should work with someone like Charles Glass for a while.

I agree. It's fine for videos but not so great when you're actually working out. There is a guy who chants, screams, and hollers at one of the gyms I go to. People do more laughing than getting fired up. There is also a female power lifter who shouts and bangs weights. People just kind of look.

When you put it like that, it does take away the allure of it all.
I have seen guys in gyms yelling the "light weights", etc type of babble even recently and it's annoying as fuck

About 30 years ago we had a guy that would have his girlfriend scream at him and slap him in the face prior to a set of whatever.
It was both stupid and hilarious. ;D

I don't think that learning bw training is more harmful than doing bent over rows, tho
-

Both things are taxing on the core, prob too much for him.
He should follow the advice from a physiotherapist. This would prob mean that his rows should be back assisted with moderate weight/strict form. However, I wonder if he's mentally able to adapt to this regimen.

More proof that Haney > Ronnie.

wonder if Brian Dobson has ever run a mop and duster inside that gym
disgusting fucking gym.

^^
How about Lee Haney, he was and is a supposed "Devout Christian"...
from Wikipedia: A devout born again Christian, Haney has his own program on the Trinity Broadcasting Network called "TotaLee Fit with Lee Haney," where he is usually joined by famous Christian sportsmen, and on occasion his wife. On the show he teaches the importance of both physical and spiritual growth. One of his most famous quotes is that we should "train to stimulate, not annihilate."
-

You don't see him running around trying to recapture his glory years but I think he's fulfilled in other ways with his wife, family, and business

Ronnie has lots of kids and his business is doing well.
To those who say "one trick pony" Well, it's a "one trick" not many can do.

I don't think Ronnie is dumb at all. He's just country. I don't think he's a one trick pony but it is sad to see him further destroying his body for what purpose? I get he's passionate about training and that's what made him great but this is just sad to watch because you know it's not going to end well eventually
You don't see Lee Haney trying to recapture his glory years or any of that because I think he's been there done that. You don't really see jay doing it either. He still trains, looks good, but he's pretty up front about how he's not maniacal about diet and training anymore...but he never struck me as someone who loved training like Ronnie.
Ronnie is great and awesome. Nobody can ever take his greatness and dominance away from him.

not convinced his spine stabilizers or lumbar spine would think it's healthy but whatever.
-
What do you expect did you see his ridiculously dangerous form and weight used on bent over rows for example...? Lol
It won Mr Olympias and leaves us discussing him to this day and it will 10 years later.
We won't be talking about any of you though, nobody will be talking about you at all.
-
Let him be, he's just doing whatever he needs to do to stay mentally sane. Ultimately whatever we do is useless anyway. It's just for distraction. :D
If there's something offensive about him it's the selling of fart powders he never used anyway. Same as Levrone, selling shit you never used and would never use and then lying about making a comeback to stay relevant.
-

Literally painful to watch; Seeing him benching and doing dumbell press gives the impression his arms are going to snap any second ...Am I the only one who feels that way ?
His voice still sounds the same though .

I am not so sure he isn't suffering from some level of mental illness. His self worth is tied in with his physique, which is degenerating. The more he tries to regain it, the more he destroys himself. How will he cope when he's totally destroyed his body to the point he cannot train at all?
-

By that point it won't matter, recent interviews lead me to believe he will probably if not already has developed an opiate addiction. If he makes it to 60 I would be fucking shocked.

You guys are fucking hilarious ripping apart quite possibly the greatest bodybuilder of all time ::)
Whats up with that?
-
He's rowing 135lbs, how can that be destroying his body? That is lifting to be healthy, no?
EXACTLY! People here are saying for him to train light. He's rowing with one plate. He was doing 4 plates back in the day.
What is wrong with his training? He's making a lot of noise but I don't see anything crazy like he use to do or like what Branch is doing. What does it mean to "have damaged your core"? What specific parts are the core and how have they been damage?
What makes people think he's still living the life of a competitive bber? All this talk about strict diet, high drug intake, he's one dimensional and his life revolves around the gym? That he doesn't pay enough attention to his family? How do people know these things?
I bet Ronnie is more content, happy and fulfilled than the vast majority of people here.
Say he dies at 70 instead of 85. That if he just stayed a cop and never competed in bbing, something that he loved, to gain an additional 15 years of his life. A life far less accomplished and fulfilling. Would it be worth it? Is the goal in life just to live as long as you can?
-

He has his own supplement, legions of admirers and eight Mr Olympias to his name.
He could sit at his phone in a wheelchair on dialysis giving advice and make in a day more than you make in a week while watching sportscenter and eating grits

It's GetBig. No matter what you do. No matter how successful and accomplished you are. You will always be criticized by all the life winners on this board.

No, his form always sucked though. Not gonna change a guys way of doing movements this late in the game.

The greatest, but not the smartest. Compare him with Lee Haney, he got 8 Sandows as well and he's still blessed with a good health.

I don't know about Levrone, but Coleman was without a doubt, as a matter of fact, fully loaded on nutritional supplements...

So he should just stop training altogether so he doesn't "destroy" himself?
Everybody has something that gives them a feeling of meaning, self worth and happiness. There are worse things than lifting weights.
Nothing lasts forever. All of us will reach a point when we can't do what we love. All of us will reach a point when we cannot do anything. Just do what you love and fulfills you and enjoy the short time you have.
You're really that worried about him? Do you have any family?

Yeah, lots bb'ers do in fact use supplements, but in general bodybuilders will sell anything
to make money. There is some formulator and investor in the background and the bb just lends
his name to whatever. So if say a "PWO" is hot at the marketplace at the moment it will be in the supp line, for example.
It seldom has to do with selling stuff you really believe in... it's just about the money, the ultimate value for most.
I don't know what company Ronnie was sponsored by at the time but in one video you
could see Beverly International protein cans. So he was using something other than what he was sponsored by.
-
So he should just stop training altogether so he doesn't "destroy" himself?
Everybody has something that gives them a feeling of meaning, self worth and happiness. There are worse things than lifting weights.
Nothing lasts forever. All of us will reach a point when we can't do what we love. All of us will reach a point when we cannot do anything. Just do what you love and fulfills you and enjoy the short time you have.
You're really that worried about him? Do you have any family?
Who said he needs to stop training altogether? How about training more sensibly to preserve his health? I couldn't care less about Ronnie, as I was never a fan in the first place. I was simply making an observation, the tenor of which went over your head.

He actually looked very lean and in shape before the last back surgery. After the back surgery (third) he posted about how much pain he was in and it's vexing to see him doing this considering all of the surgeries and post op pain. Fusions can fail and with having cervical and lumbar fusions he should be careful. He could just do light circuit work to stay in shape along with cardio.

Yes.
He has demanded from his physique and organs way too much for way too long .......Every "athlete " after the age 40 starts listening to the body and move on to other things in life ..
At this point, Ronnie is not training or "developing his muscles" he is just destroying his joints, nerves, bones,organs etc . (he whole self) :'(

I think he looks great now. He looks better than the majority on this board. Problem is that people here are comparing him now to what many consider the greatest bber who ever lived. If he wasn't Ronnie Coleman but just some random guy in the gym in his fifties he would be considered way ahead of the game.
Of course he could do "light" circuit training. He could do yoga and Pilates if he wanted to. It would certainly be healthier. But I don't think Ronnie has ever put health ahead of what he wants and what he wants to do. If he should die tomorrow I doubt he would have any regrets. He became far richer than if he just stayed a cop. He traveled around the world and had experiences that none of us will ever have.
Ronnie is not your average person. Some people will never understand what motivates a guy like him. Some insist he has a screw loose. I think anybody who is the very best at what they do are willing to do things that others won't or can't. They are not normal people. That's why he's Ronnie and we are not.

No it didn't. You're not that deep. I tell you what. Why don't you write out a program for him. Tell an 8 time Mr. O how you think he should train. Post it here so that the rest of us can benefit from you wisdom, experience and success.
BTW, what exactly have you accomplished in life?

maybe ronnie should watch this vid? ???

You think he's training to further develop his muscles? Stop training altogether would be healthier? Lifting weights, at a fraction of what he use to do, is JUST destroying his joints, nerves, bones and ORGANS? What do you base this on?
Since you think Ronnie is in such horrible shape can you post a picture of your physique, your much younger physique, so you can inspire the rest of us and give your advice more credibility.

He's just a former somebody trying to remain relevant in an irrelevant pastime. He pretty much has nothing else to live for except the past and he's obviously willing to sacrifice what is left of his "future" to revisit it, if only in his mind.
As witnessed by his multiple offspring by a plethora of gold diggers, he has the morals of a rabbit and doesn't care about said children. If he were to live another 20 or so years and wound up meeting one of his many daughters he'd most likely be like a dog that runs into a grown puppy in heat and mate with his own kid without even realizing it.
Of course this most likely explains his being an over grown Simple Jack as it probably happened with his own father. Coleman is not the greatest of all time, but he is one of the most simple minded of bodybuilders and that's saying something given that bodybuilders are in general not known for being too smuckin' fart anyway.

I would assert that my post went well over your head. Otherwise, you might consider the reference being made concerning the psychological factors that plague many athletes post retirement, instead of opting for an ad hominem rebuttal. And I needn't provide my résumé, least of all to you.

For an irrelevant past time you sure engage in a lot of irrelevances as indicated by your over 4,500 post here.
Everybody lives for something. Many people, especially those who make their living in working out, lives revolve around the gym. There are worse activities you can do in life. There was a time I was working three jobs as a security job. My life revolved around being a security job. I wish it could have been the gym.
And somehow you know that Ronnie only married gold diggers and doesn't care about his children? How do you know that? Have you met or spoken with any of his children?
And, of course, Ronnie being the greatest of all time is an opinion but there are more that believes this than don't.
And if Ronnie is so simple minded why is it that he was been far more successful in his career than you will ever be?
Jeeze, so many people passing judgment and hate on Ronnie. A man who is just doing what he loves, is happy and isn't bothering anybody
or infringing on anybody's rights or freedoms.

Right. Nobody is saying he looks terrible or has anything to be ashamed of. In fact, he looks great. We've all said this. He isn't like some who have completely let themselves go. He has posted on line about how much pain he was in and then to see him doing this stuff 6 weeks post op is just sad to watch. That is all people are saying.

Assert anything you want. Fact is Ronnie > Mr.1derful.
And I didn't ask for a resume. I ask what have you accomplished in life. What have you done in life that makes you think you can pass judgment on Coleman and his chosen lifestyle?
And you started with the ad hominem attack. Don't cry when it comes back to you.

I'm sure he was in a lot of pain post surgery. Now he's back in the gym I've had so many injuries from my Jiu-Jitsu days. I can literally go from my big toe (broken) and go up to the top of head (concussion) and literally cannot pass an area that hasn't been injured in some way (broken ankle, torn calf, knee surgeries....) I'm always in some kind of pain. Mostly back, knees and shoulders. But I'm still in the gym training with more intensity than 95% of the people in my gym. There are some things I just cannot do (squats, bench...). But I'm not going to quit no matter what. I imagine Ronnie is a far more determined man than I am so I don't expect him to either.
The bottom line for me is, is he doing what makes him happy and fulfilled. It looks to me that he is. And again, I really don't see anything extreme in the training that he is doing.

downsized ronnie should enter men's physique
coleman will dominate again and shut up the haters!

I wonder if over the years he has simply developed continuous bone spurs at the elbows from the added stress of weightlifting or if he simply suffers from Gout of the elbows.

Sheesh. Do you genuflect before a totem of his scrotum (resplendent in glittering thong) prior to turning on your Sandow SchmOelympia Nitey Nite Lite and bunny hoping into bed?
That I find nothing of genuine worth in that idiots life concerns you so is surprising behavior in an adult male. His behavior is indicative of a morally bankrupt, sexually active drug addicted idiot. As mentioned, his progeny from a variety of wenches bears this out as do his drug built (and abused) mind and body.
And yup. What we all do here (i.e., posting) is truly irrelevant outside this little Matrix. As for Coleman's success as measured in monetary assests? He has more money than many here but most likely not the time to enjoy it. Maybe...Maybe not. I merely point out truths that are puissant rather than pussy.

I was waiting for this response. When you defend someone from unwarranted judgment and hate makes you a nut hugger. Just like when I defend Ronnie, DLB, Bostin Lloyd (the latter two I don't even like) I am defending a principle. When people are successful in doing what they love they shouldn't be the target of wrath and often hate. Everybody wishes they could make a good living doing what they love. Not many do it.
And actually it seems you are more obsessed with his life than I am. I didn't start this thread but merely am responding to it. And again you make judgments about his life that you really have no way of knowing. That having a lot of kids somehow makes you irresponsible. I come from a family on nine. And have you ever heard of Mormons?
And again you know nothing about his personal life. "No time to enjoy his money" oh brother.
Bottom line is, that by all accounts he is happy, fulfilled and content. I met him once and he was so upbeat and gracious and just had such a positive vibe to him. Never got tired shaking hands, taking pictures. Always a big smile on his face.

Actually, I write. You type. You're no "nut hugger" so stop with the faux demure attitude. "Unwarranted", pfffft! Yes, I am familiar with LDS and no, you really don't want to go there but since you did... Coleman is not white and delightsome but I suppose one could make the case that he would make a fine LDS as he has money and can therefor contribute his required 10 percent and in the event of a Wiggsian Afropocolypse take from the Bishop's Storehouse. To that add that Ronald had multiple children with multiple women all the while thanking Jayzus! Nubainian puhleeeeeeze...
Its nearly my bed time (I am olde!) and as such you will have ample time to compose your prose my young friend. I loathe that which Coleman represents. Coleman, not you. I don't doubt your sincerity and as the saying goes, how can there be any sin in sincere.

Gh and continuous stress will cause the bone growth. Arthritic joints are always bigger in older people. My father in law drove an 18 wheeler for 30 years standard shift, and his right elbow is just like Ronnies.

Looks pretty dam good to me, better then the rest of the slobs in the world 40 plus, there are many many people in the world with bilateral and quadrilateral joint replacements that have had a very simple life, Doesnt mean you need to stop doing what you love. More power to him,

good post master elf

I am not so sure he isn't suffering from some level of mental illness. His self worth is tied in with his physique, which is degenerating. The more he tries to regain it, the more he destroys himself. How will he cope when he's totally destroyed his body to the point he cannot train at all?
Forget training. Will he be able to have a normal life?
-
ronnie coleman is suffering from the same mental illness as most people here, me included even tho I'm not taking steroids. So why are you people so surprised?
Most of yall will be in shock when you get older and older and older and older. Oh my god look at my earlier photos I looked so fresh and awesome. That's all it is, and you will suffer the same fate, trying to hold on to muscle gains and keep the delusion alive. MUAHAHAHAHAHA. But I won't get to that. I found my way out of that mind trap.

Yes, well.
I always thought that the most successful people in any trade or hobby or sport or whatever were the most sane ones. But they could be the most insane, most ridiculously obsessed and delusional as well, the one's who have extremely grandiose sense of self-worth, you never know. So don't take these superstars as idols, they could be sicker than you, lol. Just cooler, until of course, like everyone else, will fall and have to stop on tracks eventually, having nothing to show for their former "success" but photos and videos and plastic trophies.

Props to him.
Nothing worse than the all drug bodybuilders who "inspire" so many youths to lift, but they loathe lifting and forget the lifestyle all together once the drugs are gone.

Ronnie, like all people who strive to be number one, never wanted a normal life. As one aspiring athlete put it when asked why he puts himself through all the training and suffering when the odds are against him and wouldn't he rather live a more normal and secure life. His reply: "Because being normal sucks."
Normal people often can't understand what it takes to be something that no else in the world is.
-
lol! I was thinking the same thing but not for DS but for me. Sucks getting old.
if it makes you feel any better, ronnie coleman is obviously feeling the same way, or at least will. He still tries to hold on to what he was.
Great that he is showcasing the hard work to the new generation, but he already did that when he was healthy and it's in the internet to stay. He could showcase the youth how to let go and not lose your mind with it.
Everyone gets old, everyone has to let go of youth at one point, and everybody dies. So don't feel bad. Carry it with honor, this biological stage is just a temporary stage.
-
Sadly he will not stop until he cannot move at all and is a wheelchair which is a shame because He has little kids at home. There is no need for this. He has nothing left to prove.
He is mentally ill
-
Hey I'm just laughing at the grunting and yelling "light weight" when he's doing warm ups with 135 rows. I get it though, he doesn't know any different. His mind is on a non stop loop. I'd laugh if Arnold, Stallone, Lee Haney or the everyday Joe in the gym worked out like that. It's nothing against Ronnie. Some of the people in here who don't think we should be bringing up Ronnie's training in any negative aspect are the people who laughed at Branch Warren with big chains around his neck in a training video. There's nothing wrong with pointing out douchebaggery. Regardless of what they did in the past.

He'll be wishing for normal when he's completely crippled. There's no accomplishment in not being able to function normally and achieving a diminished quality of life.

When you say "let go" what do you mean? Quit going to the gym and stay home watching TV getting even older and fatter? He's still making good money being in the bbing business and is still traveling around the country and around the world making appearances and getting paid good money for it.
-

We are all going to be unable to function normally and will experience a marked diminished quality of life if we don't die first.
Everything is temporary in life -- even life itself. I truly doubt Ronnie has any regrets in life. He's lived his dream. Can you say as much?
As someone mentioned here, there are tons of people who has had hip replacement, back, knees, shoulder surgery and limps around that has never done shit.
Don't worry about Ronnie Coleman, he's doing fine. Doing better than the vast majority of people in this world.

Ronnie will always be n.º1 in the heart of his fans.
When i said "normal" i meant being able to go to the bathroom by himself for instance. Being able to play with your kids. In a wheelchair he won't. And for the sake of what? Trying to be a shadow of his former self?
I have said it before and i will say again: Ronnie should treasure his remaining health and forget weight training.
-
You think he's training to further develop his muscles? Stop training altogether would be healthier? Lifting weights, at a fraction of what he use to do, is JUST destroying his joints, nerves, bones and ORGANS? What do you base this on?
Since you think Ronnie is in such horrible shape can you post a picture of your physique, your much younger physique, so you can inspire the rest of us and give your advice more credibility.
1- I didn't say he is in horrid shape .
2- I Don't have to post a picture of myself (or anyone else for that matter) If you want inspiration I can tell you that After the age of forty I have spent $0.00 in surgeries,
3- Ronnie is leaving a sad post Olympian video material online that only serves to ruin his legacy for younger generations, he has broken EVERYTHING from head to toes! major surgeries piling up due to abusing his body, when his body is screaming to stop for the past ten years .
4- He looks like he was Chewed and spat out by a donkey (not saying he looks horrid)
5- If you can't figured this out by now, you my friend got shit for brains .
Yip Yip " everybody wanna be a bodybuilder but no body wants to move on after time is up "

How would it help his health if he stopped working out?
My father never picked up a weight in his life. I doubt he even did a single push up. Exercise was just not in his world. And he was practically blind his whole life, never drove a car, and wore glasses so thick it could stop a 9mm bullet so he never played with us other than just board games.
And he's now in a wheel chair and can't go to the bathroom by himself.

This also reminds me of a friend of mine whose dad is a diabetic. His black and blue cankles makes chaos' legs look shapely. He smokes like a chimney and eats whatever he wants, none of what could be considered "health food". His son is constantly ragging on him.
Constantly.
Right after another episode of his son lecturing him on his eating habits and smoking I looked at his dad and said, "Must get annoying." He looked at me and said, "Of course I know what I do is bad for me. I don't care. If I give up smoking and eat just vegetables and chicken breasts I'll be miserable. And how much difference would it really make with my health? I lived a certain life style by choice and here I am. I'm not going to change now. I'm going to enjoy what little time I have left on this earth. I wish he'd just leave me alone. How I live has no effect on his life. He doesn't take care of me and everything, including my funeral, is paid for. Just let me live how I want and enjoy the time I have left."
I know it's hard for some people to understand but if someone is doing something he loves, like Ronnie is, then more power to him. He is not as dumb as people think. He knows that his life as a bber is the cause for his physical condition. But that isn't going to stop him.
The gym and pushing weights is his life and what gives him joy. I'm sure if he had to go he'd rather go being crushed under a squat rack.

1- I didn't say he is in horrid shape .
2- I Don't have to post a picture of myself (or anyone else for that matter) If you want inspiration I can tell you that After the age of forty I have spent $0.00 in surgeries,
3- Ronnie is leaving a sad post Olympian video material online that only serves to ruin his legacy for younger generations, he has broken EVERYTHING from head to toes! major surgeries piling up due to abusing his body, when his body is screaming to stop for the past ten years .
4- He looks like he was Chewed and spat out by a donkey (not saying he looks horrid)
5- If you can't figured this out by now, you my friend got shit for brains .
Yip Yip " everybody wanna be a bodybuilder but no body wants to move on after time is up "
"He looks like he was Chewed and spat out by a donkey"
and then you say, "not saying he looks horrid"
LOL. You have shit for brains, fuck face. And I'm sure you've never had surgery because you never did anything. And if Ronnie looks "chewed and spat out by a donkey" I can only imagine the mess you look like. But hey, you never had any surgeries.
Ronnie has lived, and continues to live, a life way better than yours. How do I know this? Because you pay such close attention to him and how he lives his life and think you are in a position to past judgment whereas he doesn't know you from a piece of dog shit on the ground.
Keep being preoccupied with Ronnie as he continues to enjoy life while you wallow in your misery passing judgment on others.
-
I guess Ronnie is not listening to "his true calling in life " no more .
Like you know what his true calling is. Ronnie will always be remembered as a legend in bbing. You've accomplish nothing of note in life and will be quickly forgotten.
-
lol.
Glad I made this thread. I had a feeling it would turn into this. :D :D
-
Ronnie is like an old Rocky Balboa. That's his life - without it he has nothing else.
Live and let live.

A picture of health.

How is the health state of his Signature line?
-
Hey I'm just laughing at the grunting and yelling "light weight" when he's doing warm ups with 135 rows. I get it though, he doesn't know any different. His mind is on a non stop loop. I'd laugh if Arnold, Stallone, Lee Haney or the everyday Joe in the gym worked out like that. It's nothing against Ronnie. Some of the people in here who don't think we should be bringing up Ronnie's training in any negative aspect are the people who laughed at Branch Warren with big chains around his neck in a training video. There's nothing wrong with pointing out douchebaggery. Regardless of what they did in the past.
I think this is very sad. In his early videos, there is this sequence where he talks on the phone and gives strategical advice ("You are trying to do to many things at once"). Sensible thinking. He seems very conscious of his goals. Now he comes across as a man without a purpose, destroying his body with no potential gain and no defined goals. Sad!

How would it help his health if he stopped working out?
My father never picked up a weight in his life. I doubt he even did a single push up. Exercise was just not in his world. And he was practically blind his whole life, never drove a car, and wore glasses so thick it could stop a 9mm bullet so he never played with us other than just board games.
And he's now in a wheel chair and can't go to the bathroom by himself.
The weights caused the need for all his prosthetics. If he keeps lifting weights, he will only get worse. If you can't understand that, good ridannce.

He's spiralling into a vat of limitless shit. The man is delusional. At one time he was the best, but now he is broken. He should weight train in a non-intensive way and not videotape the workouts. He should also devote a majority of his time to his 35 kids.
He drove the vehicle too hard, and while he achieved relative "success" doing so, for a brief moment in his life, the damage has been done.
As another says, it's only a matter of time until he is in a wheelchair permanently and can't wipe his own ass.

This also reminds me of a friend of mine whose dad is a diabetic. His black and blue cankles makes chaos' legs look shapely. He smokes like a chimney and eats whatever he wants, none of what could be considered "health food". His son is constantly ragging on him.
Constantly.

Agreed. Sums it up very well.
We may not like how or what potentially Ronnie is doing to Himself.
His life His body.
He's not hurting anyone else.
Let him be.
He reached the very top in his chosen career.
How many can say that.

I'd argue he's likely hurting his offspring with his focus not on their proper upbringing.

True. Your likely correct.
Sadly that makes him just 1 of millions of Dads like that.

The weights caused the need for all his prosthetics. If he keeps lifting weights, he will only get worse. If you can't understand that, good ridannce.
The insanely heavy weights and poor form is what cause his present condition. There's a big difference between rowing 405 lbs and 135 lbs.
Resistance training, whether it's calisthenics, bow flex, Nautilus or free weights is always good for your health if done properly rather than just sitting on your ass getting fat as your body and musculature waste away.
If you can't understand that -- good riddance! (I don't know why many here can't just make their argument without throwing in insulting and condescending remarks like this and set off pages of insults and pissing matches. Just like the guy who disagreed with me had to add in that I had shit for brains. Something they would never do in real life because they risk getting an ass kicking. But you threw the first shot so lets do it).

Ronnie is not stupid in the traditional sense, but he is quite delusional trying to pursue this level of weight lifting after all the surgeries.
-
8 Time Mr Olympia Lee Haney look much better than this Coleman! Coleman must be stupid! Flex Shawn Dilett Levrone Kai and all the pros that train strict with nice form keep themself flexible and soft.
Ronnie cant barely move or bent any joint in the body. I bet his training philosophy is a part of it. Always been training like shit! Whats wrong lower the weights and do full movement to get a stretch and flexibility instead of making 1/4 movement and make your body more and more stiff...this is some stupid shit! I think Ronnie should take one year of and only focus on rehab, stretching massage and very light full range movement.
-
Just got out of another surgery hours ago, this time back
He cant even walk again
The cost to be a 8x Mr O :-\
Get well soon Ronnie

ronniecoleman8 So you guy's still wanna be like me, you still want to have the same work ethic is I had. Well as you can see I'm 8 X Mr Olympia and I can't walk. I endured an 11 hour major back surgery last Tuesday. Do I have any regrets?, if I had a chance to do it all over again would I change anything? Yes if I had a chance to do it all over again I would change one thing. That is when I squatted that 800lbs I would do 4 reps instead of 2, that is my only regret in my career. Those 2 reps I did still haunts me today because I know I had 4 in me but the coward in me only did 2. That is my only regret.

I don't care what you guys think, the end of that paragraph is hardcore. Ronnie was simply more Alpha than Wheeler and Levrone and Cormier.

Of course he is stupid, it is obvious he has a well below average IQ. The man is as dumb as a peanut.
