How much did Ronnie improve from 97 to 98?
At the 1997 Mr. Olympia ronnie was 255lbs
At the 1998 Mr. Olympia Ronnie was 248lbs...
did he really make huge improvements in the offseason that would warrant 9th --> 1st, or did he simply take his conditioning up a notch?
-
He probably discovered hydroxicuts.
-
I am guessing that he started taking a mult-vitamin daily and a mega dose of vitamn C
-
Mr. Coleman decided to fast because he was getting too big.
-
I think Ronnie just missed his peak for the '97 Olympia. If you watch "Battle for the Olympia '97", you can see how great he looks in the gym. He smoothed out for the show and was placed really low. He also looked great in the '96 Olympia and could have easily made the top six. In '98, he won the Night of the Champions and had learned how to peak for the contests so he showed up full and ripped. After winning the NOC, he was one of the favorites for the Olympia but he was the only one to really come in peaked condition. He outsized Flex, Nasser was just a little too smooth, Levrone and Shawn Ray weren't at their best and this left the door open for Ronnie to win.

I disagree with you Natural Al about him being favored at the 1998 Olympia , he wasn't considered to win , everyone including myself knew Flex was going to win and he didn't
Flex said that he knew Ronnie would win the muscularity round and he would win the symmetry round but he was absolutely dumbfounded that Ronnie beat him in the posing round , and lets face it Ronnie is not and has never been known as a great poser , but he won by just 3 points
Shawn Ray said they basically awarded Ronnie the title because he was the most improved from 97 - 98 and they shouldn't have , either way he looked great in that contest .

Did he look better than Dorian? ;D
-
I hear he switched from real butter to Molly McButter, on his grits.Do they still make Molly McButter?
-
he changed his underwear
-
based on the pictures i've seen Coleman should have beaten Levrone at the SF grand prix 1998

haha that half-flexing most musclar pose that ND posted destroys any fully completed most muscular that Dorian ever did.
so, I'd say ronnie 8)

no. not until you admit that ronnie smokes Dorian if they competed at their bests.
After you admit the obvious truth,
Then, we will talk 8)

Ronnie's superiority over Dorian caused him to melt down ;D

probably right.
The difference between dorian and ronnie's most musculars is like night and day.
it showcases Dorians mediocore arms, chest, traps and delts as compared to Ronnie.
but lets not talk about that here. we wouldn't want another MELTDOWN!

They sell it at Costco

Hulkster get a grip seriously , you don't believe Ronnie is better if you did you wouldn't feel this compulsion to insert it in every thread , you have no confidence in your opinion , and look for others to validate it , anyway Ronnie looked great in 98 , probably the best he has looked at an Olympia .

do you think shawn was being a sore loser?
-
do you think shawn was being a sore loser?
Oh yes lol but whats ironic is that one he wasn't even close and he was elated that Flex lost to Ronnie , he did not want Flex being Mr Olympia , my take is he was severly jealous of Flex's success and Shawn always claimed to be the Olympia was his destiny and Flex could have been Mr Olympia if he was serious enough .

GYNO !!!!!!!

His gyno was as embarrassing as Franco's in 81 .

You have a point !! notice the gut sticking out , but this may be a ligitimate case of Ronnie exhaling , maybe not .

Sorry Al-Gebra .
I was just making fun of BroadStreetBruiser when he called me a screen instead of a scream . In Scotland if someone is called a scream it is because they are funny ( either intentionally or not ).
Does that help ?

We say that in the States, too. Usually in reference to something funny, though, not actually a person.

Cheers . I am still learning the North American jargon . For instance the way you guys use the term OWNED was completely new to me it until I found this board.

Yeah, it is almost completely reserved for the internet. Variations include 0wned and pwnd.

Anyway back to Big Ron's gyno .
Why was he not marked down for this ?
At the time people argued whether Flex used synthol and calf implants but Ron's gyno was not in dispute .
Don't get me wrong . I greatly admire Big Ron and he clearly out muscled Flex but if a BB has gyno he should be heavily penalised .

If they heavily marked down Ronnie for his gyno, they would have had to mark down Flex heavily for his soft glutes and hams. Ronnie dwarfs you ::)

Fair point .
However soft glutes and hams can be improved by better conditioning while gyno like Big Ron's requires surgery .
I think that makes big Rons 1998 gyno a greater evil than Flex's softer glutes and hams .

Ronnie dwarfs you ::) Seriously though, gyno is a flaw, but it is not a flaw in conditioning or development. Vile, massive gyno should be heavily penalized, but Ronnie's is not that bad.
