Im not exactly sure how to post IG links, so if this doesn't work maybe you guys can help fix the link, but this guy's positivity is amazing. I know people have been giving him some shit here on Getbig, but you gotta admit this guy is inspiring, still smiling, still flexing after all he's been through! Great video!

Aside from the fact he is struggling to walk, he looks pretty good.
-
Hope he recovers well!!

this guy is inspiring
how is that severely stupid person 'inspiring'? u'd have to be an asshole to think crippling yourself is inspiring. he cant walk, and is permafuked.

I know two people close to me who have had back surgeries and it completely ruined there lives, completely transformed their mindset. Both of them are absolutely miserable, they let the injury consume them and take their lives into a negative place. So to see people overcome something, regardless if they did it to themselves or not, to me is inspiring. The guy is fucking positive, you gotta respect that, it's awesome, he's not laying in his hospital bed crying and feeling sad about his situation.

Agreed he does some crazy stuff but why shit on the guy. He will have lived and died for the iron. He's cemented in history and had a small army of children.

Nah, you're the asshole.
You know full well why it is inspiring to people.
But that's not why you're here - you're not really asking the question "how is it inspring?" - you're just here to rag on what you see as an easy target.
-
It's sad how is body is so destroyed. Glad he's fighting the good fight. I wish him a full recovery but the reality might be enough health to be able to walk up a flight of stairs. Two of the heaviest training bodybuilders him and Yates have so much damage. Meanwhile Robby Robinson is walking around perfect.
-
When he retired in 2007 he should have just walked out of the gym and never returned. He would probably be in a lot less pain and probably wouldn't have needed all of those surgeries. Doing heavy t bar rows after a back fusion is just not a good idea. Yeah buddy :-\
-
Love following him. Dude has been through a lot and still has a great outlook.
-
The guy is fucking positive, you gotta respect that
no. in the same way that I would not respect a tard for gouging his own eyes out and then considering blindness in a positive light. give him a few years to acknowledge reality... and see how positive he is then.

Fucking THIS^
I know Getbig is all super cool and cynical, but at some point you have to throw in the towel and give props to a legit Don Quixote with the baddest biceps on the planet. Fucking tilting at wind mills and making us all look like know it all idiots.

the fact is, GetBig is full of trolls who do nothing all day but look for posts to be "shocking" in because they think it's cool. It gets old real fast and it helps bring the site down. Mods should be able to easily identify these tools and kick em to the curb
-
What's so great about positivity, anyway ???
Much respect for putting bodybuilding in the grave, however.
-

lol.. enlighten me, phaggot - why is it inspiring

People here celebrate Blaha, Genovea and Big Lenny.
Ronnie has achievements that are notable.

u guys r glorifying destruction... I do not see this guys current state as inspiring, not at all. its horrific imo.
-
I find it funny when people think that Ronnie is stupid because he gave his all to become the best on the planet at what he does.
It is the price you pay, but same or worse price is paid daily by people just doing their regular job.
Don`t fool yourself in thinking you`re going to be as physically or mentally strong all your life, it ain`t happening...

is actually dangerous. how many of these estrogen laden phaggots comprehend the fact that ronnie would be better served if people stopped encouraging him to further destroy himself?
not many.

The man has lost so much, yet he is smiling, as you say. If that is stupidity, I want to be that stupid when facing adversity.

It is the fault of the 'dangerous' doctors. He was fool enough to believe surgery would help. Lol

His positivity in the face of adversity is great. The encouragement that he possibly gets from others to continue to break his body down is not. It is very apparent that those close to him need to sit him down and help hm to find another avenue for his "positive outlook".
-
He should change the training style and adapt to limitations but at the same time he needs to regain as much movement as possible.
You have to be active when you have back problems, just in a controlled manner so you don`t worsen the state of it.

hes sitting down 99% of the time now.
-
How many thousands of dollars is he paying in alimony and child support. It must be so crazy figures.
-
hes sitting down 99% of the time now.
But he doesn't stay sitting... :D
-
It is the fault of the 'dangerous' doctors. He was fool enough to believe surgery would help. Lol
Surgeons make the big bucks when they operate. That's what they push. Just like it's hard to find a dentist now that will drill and fill a painful cavity. They all want a root canal and a cap because it's a big pay day.
-

why is 'big ronnie' 'facing adversity' in the first place? dude may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but these a holes egging him on now, even as a fukin cripple r evil.
they will still be talking about 'inspiration' when the guy cant walk... oh, thats right – he cant walk now. so inspiring ::)

A) Is Ronnie a positive and happy person with an incredibly good outlook? Yes, for sure.
B) Does Ronnie do incredibly bad things to his body that have caused him great physical injury? Yes, for sure.
Inspirational? Yes to A, no to B.

Exactly. Inspirational for the positive outlook and "can do spirit". But, he is delusional if he thinks he can train the same way, with his injuries. Maybe if he put that energy into motivating people like Shizzo to work out. Or motivate people like E-Kul/Radical Plato to not give up on life.
-
Yates wasn't even as close as strong as Ronnie Yates really wasn't that strong only lift he did heavy was bent rows with 405 now people are using 500
-
Full respect. Not the sharpest tool in the box, but that positivity is a mind of a true Champion. Most would be crying themselves to sleep, miserable and suicidal. That's WHY he became a champion, that's why he did have the success that he had, not because he lifted heavy and did ton of drugs (yes, that was true also), but his mind first and foremost.
-
Yates wasn't even as close as strong as Ronnie Yates really wasn't that strong only lift he did heavy was bent rows with 405 now people are using 500
Dorian wasn’t trying to build maximal strength or demonstrate how much he could lift
-
Yates wasn't even as close as strong as Ronnie Yates really wasn't that strong only lift he did heavy was bent rows with 405 now people are using 500
He wasn't and admitted as much but he trained much stricter than Ronnie and he tore his biceps doing rows with 465lbs

Fuck yeah, still ripped and macking on hoes in the rehab center!

I have said it before but heavy low rep squats are not necessary for bodybuilding. Deadlifts can be omitted completely.
When Ronnie was deadlifting and squatting over 800 pounds everyone was amazed. He was demonstrating his strength as Arthur Jones warned.
Ray Mentzer squatted 925 for two reps. Dorian overdid the weight in some movements. If you use steroids and do those
maximum lifts you are going to get injured sooner or later. Ray avoided injuries but had neck pain for the rest of his life.
If Ronnie trained like that in the past what hope is there that he will be sensible in the future? After surgeries on the
spine one really has to rethink what he is going to do re bodybuilding. Maybe Ronnie should just train arms on machines.
-
It's sad how is body is so destroyed. Glad he's fighting the good fight. I wish him a full recovery but the reality might be enough health to be able to walk up a flight of stairs. Two of the heaviest training bodybuilders him and Yates have so much damage. Meanwhile Robby Robinson is walking around perfect.
same goes for Lee Haney who supposedly used about 3 plates on squats (after leg extensions and leg press)

His face looks pre contest and he looks much better at whatever weight he is at now. He should stay lean and just do light machine weighs. Oh and they should lock him out of that shit hole metrofux gym he goes to.
Not if I was on the painkillers he has been on for years...
Or medical weed.

Moderate weights and good form did the job just fine and Haney can walk without the use if crutches or a walker .

Don`t fool yourself in thinking you`re going to be as physically or mentally strong all your life, it ain`t happening...
How are Lee Haney, Mike Tyson, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Usain Bolt, Roger Federer, Michael Phelps all holding up physically these days???? Ronnie was the best DESPITE of what he did in his life not BECAUSE of it!!!
-

Ignore that gimmick.

well what is a moderate weight? depends on the person. Franco & such people had the perfect stature for heavy squats.

Because Haney used proper form and got out of the game YOUNG before his body started to be torn apart. Ronnie doesn't have that internal stop button and is paying the price. Also, how can you compare guys like Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan to what Mr. Olympias do? It's apples and oranges. Tiger Woods isn't physically breaking down his body and loading it full of copious amounts of drugs. He merely walked on a golf course on nice sunny days. ::)

u'd have to be an asshole to think crippling yourself is inspiring.

If you think those guys got or will get out without consequences, you`re fooling yourself.
Some are more succeptible to spine injuries while others can have different problems, they just don`t talk about them publicly.
Hormone levels, heart and blood pressure problems, joint and spine degeneration, psychological problems,... it is just not talked about because it`s bad for their image...

Only simpletons would truly believe that there would be zero consequences or problems for them
As you stated some are more susceptible to various types of injuries & or a variety of other issues
Why would it be bad for their image admitting they have or have had issues
They made the most of their genetics & talent, dedicated themselves to doing what was required
To reach the top in their respective Sports.
Sometimes no doubt pushing their minds & bodies to hard & suffering the consequences.
Countless numbers of sedentary people have issues / illnesses / injuries yet are not pushing
Their minds & bodies so why would it be any different for those who are.

All I can see is a guy going through some hard times with the most uplifted attitude that someone can have........respect.

Still people with the Ray Mentzer squatted nine-whatever.
Total horseshit. Crossbars set so the bar hits only a quarter into a knee bend isn’t a squat. Also, even with such a non-lift parameter, the guy never had nine across his back.
-
Yates wasn't even as close as strong as Ronnie Yates really wasn't that strong only lift he did heavy was bent rows with 405 now people are using 500
Oh, yeah. “People are using 500”.
I’ve witnessed the very strongest men on this planet (much stronger than Coleman) not achieve anything close to a controlled and non-jerked rep with anything greater than around four. Ronnie’s sets with 495 were horrific and one of many reasons why his back’s so obliterated. It’s also worth pointing out that Coleman performed shit in that infamous video entirely not typical of what he’d normally do. He was putting on a show.
-
well what is a moderate weight? depends on the person. Franco & such people had the perfect stature for heavy squats.
Franco wasn’t a particularly impressive squatter. And the 650 rubbish is just that, rubbish. Bob Kennedy watched him squat at his biggest and told me he would use four to five, it’d be tough and he’d NOT hit parallel. Just like Arnold’s and Ed’s half reps with 315 in Pumping Iron.

Nah, that dudes got the constitution of a horse, he knocked up like 8 women all while on steroids. He's probably banging a nurse and some chick that works in the rehab center as well speak.

Apparently not - Ronnie Coleman actually regrets that in 2004 he squatted 800-lb only two times, and wishes he had done four reps, stating it was the coward in him that prevented him from doing the additional two reps that he felt he was strong enough at the time to do.
So no, apparently Ronnie does not enjoy watching his videos. :-\

It's comparable because they were all at the pinnacle of their games! The best of the best and at that level all do what they have to do to get there yet Ronnie is the only one out of all those named who is a fucking cripple today!! By his own stupidity!!
