Wtf happened between then and the contest? Wasn't 02 his worst look? If I remember right he looked insane before 06 also and looked what happened there.

The story is, Ronnie was pissed at all of the talk about how bloated he was at the 2001 Mr. Olympia. So, he pretty much cancelled most of his guest posings and expos in 2002 to focus for the Mr. Olympia. Ronnie weighed 275 lbs 2-3 weeks out from the Mr. Olympia. Chad wanted Ronnie to come in looking like he did at the 2001 Arnold Classic at 247 lbs. Ronnie over dieted and came in looking flat as hell. Ronnie lost almost 30 lbs in 2-3 weeks.

Here is Ronnie 3 weeks out from the 2002 Mr. Olympia. He could of easily won if he stepped on stage looking like this. You can also tell at this point in Ronnie's career, moving back down into the 240's, 250's or even 260's and looking like he did before was probably not possible.

He weighed under 250 pounds at the 2002 Mr. O. What was he weighing in those gym pics? Also, how far out from the Mr. O were those pics taken?

He was 252 a year and a half before that at the Arnold 2001 and look amazing. He could have come down to 252 again in 2002 just don't go on a all liquid diet and do it in three weeks.

He was 275 filmed by the Asian guy that did the BFTO's back then.
I almost positive it was 2 weeks out also if my memory is holding up.
Honestly, he could have dried out, carbed up & won in the 2 weeks out shape.
Imagine losing almost 30 pounds in 2 weeks, almost all muscle too & some water.
