This poor guy is taking a beating. Never seen anyone with all that he’s gone through with as much drive as him and with an always, positive outlook.

Well, we just found something that really "ain't nothing but a peanut".
His body looks melted.
-
Bodybuilding is killing him.
And this is after ALL the drugs have been used.
Can't he just take a year off of weights, let his body heal and then go back to the gym. He could do something that helps him like yoga.

He only knows about training and bodybuilding. I agree with you. But, he’s got blinders on.

Boy’s cooked.
-
The guy is going through hell. Another operation?

He can’t stop training, it’s all he knows, and apparently doesn’t want to do anything else. Even when told to stop. And he probably is on pain killers, so that adds to it.
If Flex had told him about Vitamins, then he needs to tell him about stopping.
-
Still trains in the same horrendous form that fucked him up to start with.
-
He's a lying, philandering sack of shit who's ruined every woman he's been with, multiple divorces, grown and young kids across the country, and a drug-abusing washup who pushes snake oil shrinking creams on his website and IG that's universally panned and ridiculed even by his dung beetle followers on social media.
All that muscle to use a walker and look like a guy who's never lifted, minus 20 years of his lifespan. Guy never was very bright. Makes you realize what an unfair break Matarazzo and those other guys who left us early and used a lot less than him got.

Again?? More screws broke? Wtf?? I wonder what his medical team of doctors are saying about this? How many surgeries is this for him now?

I can't prove this but something tells me Ron's slipped into the most addictive behavior of all - deliberate recklessness to return to the hospital and get more morphine/painkillers when they lowered his dose.
-
How the hell does he keep breaking screws?
-
Fucking hell, either he got some really shitty surgeons, or he is not taking doctors advice..I do know after most surgeries people begin rehabbing pretty quickly, but it's a slow process, I have a friend who went through two major back surgeries and an extensive rehab, but he couldn't go into a normal regimented bodybuilding type of training until a year or so post surgery. I highly doubt he has bad medical team due to the fact I think he has insurance through his employment with the police force, and they tend to have a good medical plan.

He's not a cop anymore. He was never a full time cop. Just a part timer. What they call in NJ a class II. You have to be on the force to get medical or retired. He's not retired and not working.

I'm pretty sure he discussed this before, which is why he never quit the force because of the medical insurance/pension.

it could also be that this man cannot help himself and he has already pass the stage of no return.....

Exactly ,he's a fucking idiot ,someone should tell him that he's not 20yo anymore , I bet he still thinks he can beat Phil this year at the Olympia , if everything goes well with this new surgery .

That doesn't reconcile with his arrest for impersonating one in 2009. If he was an actual cop, reservist or not, he wouldn't have been booked once they did their due diligence and checked out his background.
For someone to be arrested for impersonation - even with charges later dropped - it takes a preponderance of evidence that the requirements for arrest under the statute associated with the crime have been met.
Ronnie has had zero association with Arlington PD since 2003. None. Zero. According to the article, he changed his stories various times about his law enforcement status before they put him in handcuffs for lying. The idea that he gets a full or partial pension is naive - he didn't give more than 12 years of his career to them and is plainly an embarrassment due to his public profile and obvious drug abuse.

Wow, never knew this, interesting how the charges were dropped though, who knows, honestly I wish the best for the guy, he needs to just rehab himself and truthfully he should swim for a year just swim, he will stay in shape, keep everything mobile and healthy then ease his way back into the gym.

He's mentally ill. They all are. It's body dismorphic disorder. They always think they're too small and can't live normal lives in or outside the gym.
Quit looking at it like this is a normal person you're describing. He's quite unwell and I'm not talking about his pretzel-shaped spine.
-
For all these years he's made his bed and now...He shits in it every single day and night. He deserves his suffering for being what he is. A bloated, lying sack of shit. He's not as great as Haney or Yates and nowhere near the Oak.
Dude's a fucktard of the first order and deserves no pity. Fake christian too.

On-point.
Ronnie’s headfucked.
Add in his considerably low intelligence, years of hormone-and-drug abuse and the current painkiller addiction and the man is in dire shape.

Well his whole entire identity is wrapped around his physique even before he got into bodybuilding, he was a college football player, so this is all he knows all he identifies with, I'm sure it's a struggle. I mean put it this way if George Clooney woke up tomorrow with out hair do you think he would know how to go about life? It might sound funny but all his identity and accolades have centered around his looks and the fact that he is handsome, would he get the girls he gets? Would he get the roles he gets? Would he be on the cover of magazines? It might sound crazy but I'm sure he would be in some what of a crisis. Which I'm sure Ronnie is going through, the guy loves training and he can't, he must be going through hell.

Hi Alti!!!

He more than likely is not listening to his doctor’s advice.
-
Hi Alti!!!
Or Vickie Gates
Or Rouaida
Or the woman in California with triplets
Or his current girlfriend
Or I could be about a dozen more; fucking hell, if he keeps going they'll not just having to fix his spine but weld his dick back on after it shrivels up and falls off from where he's sticking it.
He more than likely is not listening to his doctor’s advice.
Here's a more sensible post you made.

You don't need large muscles to live.
You do need a full head of hair to be an A-lister.
He is chasing after a shadow that left him years ago and that he can't possibly catch up with...because it's a shadow and always 3 feet ahead of his standing posture as the sun sets on his bodybuilding and law enforcement careers and he finds himself in the winter of his life a season early because of his idiotic drug and diet protocols.
All that media crap in books and magazines meant shit to him; he collected about 8 of them to build a mantle to himself in his living room, along with his sandows, and the rest were ghostwritten for him in preposterously good English by schmoes working at Flex and MD.
Coleman only cares about three things: Looking bigger than everyone else for the rest of his pathetic life, having an endless supply of under 35 pussy that he doesn't need to contribute to before or after pregnancy, and his precious painkillers that keep him in a haze with his eyes half shut on the couch 24/7.

Nothing like starting a thread about the arguably the best bodybuilder that’s ever walked the face of the planet only to have turn into a complete character assassination. Jesus Christ, you guys talk about Ronnie being fucked in the head ::)

I get your point, all I'm saying is everyone has their own identity and characteristics that make them who they are, If you take that away from someone I can understand how that person would be in a real crisis. Sure in this instance it may seem ridiculous because what it entails to be a bodybuilders and the things that go along with it, but if you take away the one thing that someone loves the most in there life hell it could be a gamer and say he could never play a video game ever again, this would drive that person insane. Again what he did with his personal life, that's on him, I believe in karma so maybe that has something to do with it, I never knew he doesn't take care of his kids and what not, I'm not that versed into his life, just seen a few of his videos, respected his accomplishments on the stage, but never was a fan, just not the type of physique that I looked to achieve, I always looked at guys like Labrada because it was a lot more of a physique I can identify with.

is that kind of insightful, caring, and empathetic response the real secret to how you get more ass than a greyhound toilet
because you just having a sixpack and a good jaw would only explain your numbers if you slept with nickels off POF
i know you only drive in the 8 - dime range so clearly a body like yours kind of grows on trees in the world they live in and party in
so it must be your smooth-talking schtick
I kinda like it

For sure I'm a caring person, I mean I gotta good heart and look for the good in people, when I see that video of Ronnie it makes me sad, I don't like seeing people struggle, again I don't know about his personal life he may be a complete dick, but anyone can relate in regards to taking away someones passion whatever it may be it would extremely detrimental to a persons whole well being and outlook on life. Lol, I don't date dimes, I stay in the 6-8 range, I don't have patience for high maintanence type of girls honestly I pretty much steer clear from girls that are seriously into working out specifically competing and more specifically dieting, been there done that, I'm in the hospitality industry so I date these type of girls, just normal chicks that enjoy having a good time, having a few drinks here and there.

Just "yes" would've sufficed too, but I enjoyed the massive run-on-sentence-of-loving-nature explanation, brah.

Yeah, also known as slaying/crushing/smashing
no need to dress it up
having a few drinks here and there.
I know what you mean. I do the same thing.

mr scott i do think ronnie is the only former mr olympia to cripple himself lifting weights, he is dumber than shit you cant even understand what he is saying half the time, he has over 20 kids in fact ronnie is so dumb he doesnt know your supposed to pull your dick out before you cum, that is why ronnie never pulls out !
-
How the hell does he keep breaking screws?
Ronnie gets right back in the gym after every surgery and doesn't give his body time to heal. That's why the screws keep breaking and the heavy weight lifting isn't helping either.
-

I believe he wants a shit ton of kids. He can afford them.

Correct, brother! Coleman is like the US early in the Vietnam war..."Pull out?! Doesn't sound manly to me! I say leave it in there and get the job done!"

Many good bodybuilders function well on
a very monotonous set routine. Ronnie just couldn't
stop it, can't stop it. What made him good is killing him now. I used to live by an oldtimer bb, he was always wearing the same gym clothes, always carrying his bananas and cans of tuna, 30 years after the competitive career ended. Every day the same thing, wake up, 2 bananas, tuna, drugs, ride bike to gym, train, sell some drugs, and so on. Talk to anyone who would listen about being pals with Arnold. Day after day, year after year, decade after decade... until death. Ronnie is like that I think.

So it's become his job.
This routine is no different than what the majority of us live.
He's just become blind to how destructive his routine is, I'm sure his thought process is something like I'm not training as heavy or using as many drugs so these little work outs aren't bad for me.

I think there is a bit of a "mind over matter" delusion going on as well, like anything is possible no matter what. Ronnie conquered the bodybuilding world, did some unbelievable things with his body, so now he thinks he can come back from these minor set backs as well, as long as he wills it enough and doesn't give up. I mean it wasn't long ago he talked about competing again. I fucking hate all these instagram memes about nothing being impossible that "successful" people post every day. You can be anything, do anything, especially if you have Christ in your corner (see Levrone and his disgusting bible quotes). :D

All from being insecure and not accepting reality

Good point about mind over matter, as I'm sure that is the foundation of his life "mantra".
You should be careful attacking American Jesus, we've developed a belief system based on western principles on His eastern teachings.
Did any one of these people ever ask what if Christ isn't in their corner?

I'm not even attacking Jesus as such, even though I'm not Christian. I just think it's so distasteful
to invoke Christ when it comes to "matters of the flesh" such as bodybuilding. When I think of
Christian virtues I don't think of bodybuilding. I guess it's a lack of humility that turns me off. For example, Levrone here:

he should have been giving thanks to his drug supplie, and chad nichols , but his pea brain could not compute that

Yup. The Nazarene would have nothing to do with a drug bloated assfuck like Coleman. Colemans is neither a police officer or a follower of the Christ. As much a Christian as Joel Osteen. Osteen is a genuine name it and claim it shitass.
-
A lot of Ronnie hate in this thread. Maybe he should be listening to his doctors advice a little more closely but the guy was the best at one time and will never be surpassed. I live close to Arlington, TX. I have seen Ronnie in his prime at Kroger supermarket. If you’ve never seen him up close I cannot express how massive this guy was in real life not to mention the most humble and genuinely the nicest bodybuilder ever. People like Shawn Ray are dirt bags compared to how giving Ronnie is. I wish him the best and only hope he listens to his doctors and follows the rehab plan laid out for him.

GH being "anti aging" and "protective" and "healing" is the biggest bunch of bullshit that has ever become proliferated about this drug.
does GH work for osteoarthritis? No - it EXACERBATES the symptoms
does GH work for anti aging? NO - every animal model shows GH is correlated strongly with DECREASED LIFE SPAN.
does GH work for repairing damaged tissues? Absolutely no evidence of this despite widespread moron belief about magical healing powers. Pigs might fly - but it WILL give you insulin resistance on a long enough timeline, and when that sets in you can kiss your recuperative functions goodbye.
GH is a STRESS HORMONE. Thats it literal classification before big pharma attempted to do the same sleight of hand they did when they convinced women they "needed" cancer-fuel synthetic estrogens, another class of stress hormones.
point of this ranting? Why do all the guys from the golden era seem to be absolutely fine or otherwise their problems are completely expectant with their age group, while all the guys from the modern era are all sorts of fucked up? ITs the HGH abuse. And you can tell ronnie hasn't given that shit up either. probably listening to other morons who tell him his doctors are full of shit and he needs to get on that HGH test combo for maximum recovery ::) ::) ::)
he's 54 and yet he looks and moves like he's 90. He's got exactly one chance of recovery and that doesn't involve drugs and trying to go to the gym, it involves letting his surgeon do his fucking work without having to expect this retard will pop another screw out of place from over activity.

In Haney’s case he stepped away, retired and never looked back, doesn’t seem to care or be involved as much as the others
He’ll have an interview or make an appearance here and there but I think he’s content in where he’s at in life

You make some good points, but from what I've read the gh/igf-1 and longevity/lifespan connection is complicated.
GH is neither all good nor all bad, just like with insulin, cortisol or any other hormone. GH and GH secretagogues are being investigated as being protective of *certain aspects* of aging, like some neurogenerative brain diseases. As far as insulin sensitivity, it's dosage related too, just like with testosterone, where restoring "normal" test increases it, which is not the case when pumping grams of anabolics.
Some would argue that a bodybuilders career/competitiveness can be extended quite a bit with gh, as we are seeing some bodybuilders compete for longer at a high level nowadays. Levrone took a lot of time off everything - what if he had used some low dosages of gh all those years, would his skin for example have shown less signs of aging/sagging when he made his comeback? We can't know, but could be...
What I'm saying is that we need some nuance on this subject.

Not only did Ronnie not pen that, but even his mind cannot think in such a reasoned manner.
I’ve interviewed the man. He’s pleasant but well below average in the intelligence department.
I do feel badly for him.
P.S. As a chocolate bodybuilder, Haney was better.

GOAT= Haney not Coleman!! Haney FIRST to win 8 Olympias! Never defeated on the Olympia stage unlike Ronnie....and still looks like a healthy retired bodybuilder today unlike Ronnie!! Oh and he did it all on half of the drugs that Ronald took!!

Not only did Ronnie not pen that, but even his mind cannot think in such a reasoned manner.
I’ve interviewed the man. He’s pleasant but well below average in the intelligence department.
I do feel badly for him.
P.S. As a chocolate bodybuilder, Haney was better.
I watched half of the new Ronnie movie and some always have to point out that Ronnie is very smart. Here we had Peter McGough saying Ronnie was very smart, contrary to the impression some got. Regarding writing, I remember Chad Nicholls saying "Ronnie is very smart, you haven't seen his writing!" Maybe does write well, I don't know. He doesn't have the contemplative, "philosophical" style of some. You can have too much of that too, like in the case of Kai Greene, can't stand his style. Some think Kai must be very smart because I can't understand a thing he is saying. :D
Haney was amazing.
-
Peter McGough was a terrible shill. Never believe anything that schmoe says.
-
He's a lying, philandering sack of shit who's ruined every woman he's been with, multiple divorces, grown and young kids across the country, and a drug-abusing washup who pushes snake oil shrinking creams on his website and IG that's universally panned and ridiculed even by his dung beetle followers on social media.
I thought it is the women who ruin men's life. Specially in America. Or by "ruined every woman", you mean, instead, he didn't let them ruin him?
-
He responded better than anyone to training and drugs but his training was shit. Him and Branch have some of the worst form I have ever seen. Branch will most likely end up the same way.

hey fortress there was a guy who used to post on here, i think his name was billy carp, or was his screen name, he worked for metrx when ronnie coleman was signed to metrx he said ronnie was dumber than shit, like literally the dumbest body builder he ever met
-
He supposedly graduated with honors at Grambling State.

Accounting
From Grambling university, a historically black college that strictly enforces racial quotas and doesn't fail anyone unless they set fire to the building.
If he could've used that degree for an CPA job or similar, he would've done that instead of serving pizzas with Dominos or being a part-time junkie cop arresting people for weed while illegal substances pumped through his drug-bloated body.

So basically an ex-writer of a defunct bodybuilding magazine that praised everyone who'd ever been on the cover, and Ronnie's ex-nutritionist/drug source who was paid by said bodybuilder to provide him with diet and drug services.
Yeah, great references you got there. How about you ask his mother next what she thinks of her son's IQ. Then again he did mail GH to her house instead of his so that suggests a few active brain cells in that stagnant swamp between his ears must be working.
-

it isn't supposed, he graduated
and he put the degree in his spare sock drawer and forgot about it
since it's basically toilet paper
though to his credit, he never paid a dime into like white folks do to get the same accreditation from real universities

I didn't say he was smart, I have my own opinions on that.
He certainly comes across as stupid, which is why some need to defend him in the first place. It's possible he could write pretty well though. Look at Goodrum, he writes well, has some type of intelligence, but is lacking in other aspects, so to speak.

It's not that he doesn't know the words in those ghostwritten articles from FLEX. It's more that he wouldn't put them together that way. If you read his descriptions of his photos or vids on instagram, that's pretty much how he writes anywhere. You could say Twitter limits your reply size but I'm talking on his website or other social platforms that are less space-prohibitive...guy's just dumb. But in a way his lack of sophistication was his best asset in bodybuilding because not a lot of people who think outside the box would've stuck with it for 8 years until he won his first Olympia or all the setbacks he's had since retiring health-wise. Being intelligent and always seeing the possible angles to everything is only a blessing if you're good at exploiting them to make money, otherwise you end up a frustrated, typical 9-5 person who never made it and resents everyone else who did but is less intelligent than them (but maybe more likable, which he was).
-
He has to have some level of intelligence to get a degree in Accounting, I have a degree in marketing and I had to take 2 accounting classes as part of my business degree and that shit was fucking hard, however the finance classes were even harder (much respect to anyone with a finance degree). But I will say his speech/vocabulary is terrible, which makes him seem very unintelligent, on the flip side he passed the police exam so he had to have some level of intelligence. Look, the guy went from delivering pizza's to being the best bodybuilder in the world, traveling to many destinations, meeting tons of people, obviously he banged a lot of women, he may be in a fucked up position now, but seems like a better overall life experience then being a pizza delivery guy and struggling to make ends meat.

I know several people that went to his type of school and none of them passed their exams, and still got the degree. And of course some others who aren't minorities or attending historically black colleges, but basically bought their degree because their families knew someone that worked or taught there.
You're giving him way too much credit. I get your glass half full mentality but it's only valid if you apply it to yourself. Once you start giving other people qualities they don't have, you're going over the edge into the being an apologist.

Well, it may be true what you are saying about just being gifted a degree, I mean why didn't he persue a career being an accountant? Most likely wasn't able to get hired from a firm, which is probably why he ended up delivering pizza's. But you gotta admit he made the most out of his life, he didn't make the NFL, he didn't get a job in the accounting field, he did drugs and became a millionaire, he's in a terrible position now, but gotta give him props for "going 4 it" in life.

Ronnie is always just going to be Ronnie. A slow-talking guy from Bastrop who started his life over in Texas (easy for some, not for all, especially when broke), finished a post-secondary degree (even if he never used it or it wasn't considered an accredited college degree at the time), and made enough with a few odd jobs and later policing to buy himself a decent-sized house and start his real career, which was to be the biggest and most successful (on stage) bodybuilder we've ever seen. Now he sells his protein powders and tries to stay relevant by lifting weights even though it's surely killing him the way he does it. I say that's pretty good considering where he came from, and as you said, he's well off and owns several luxury cars.

Yes, like I said in another thread bodybuilding favors people who can stay regimented doing something very repetitive and monotonous. And Ronnie obviously could do that all those years, and he still follows that lifestyle.
He seemed to love it, whereas for others it would be hell.
Kevin said he wanted to tell Ronnie to give it up, he was never going to be a top guy but Ronnie was just happy to compete, even if he didn't win.

;)

it sucks for him that he is in constant pain, but he made some bad life choices that led to this.

That’s like saying Ricky Martin can’t be gay because he married a women and had kids at one point...

Think of how different Kevin's life would have been if he had 1/5 of Ronnies drive and determination. He would actually be someone worth Earl devoting his life to.

Yep and he had a couple cook all his food and even stated on his video he didn’t have the drive to train at all during off season
I’ll give Ronnie credit that he just loves bbing, wakes up and does the same thing over and over
At this point Ronnie loves a bit too much and not listening to his body

And now Coleman pays alimony and child support to the tune of probably 80% of his salary, squandered most of his Olympia cars on quick flips that he burned through to start his protein powder company, and has dozens of broken screws in his back as he shuffles on a walker and looks like the living dead.
How does Kevin look?

But Kevin doesn’t seem to be happy, something is missing, otherwise he would have left bbing and competing behind a long time ago. Not a good example, Dorian, Haney, and many others are better examples

Valid point.
But Ronnie never had a band. He never acted. He was a fulltime cop who won the most coveted bodybuilding title on his weekend off.
Ronnie held on to the limelight to long, meanwhile Kevin came back to the sport and disgraced himself by losing decisively to bums that he would have wiped the floor with in his prime.
Big Ron didn't exactly have a lot of opportunities knocking on his door. He's not well spoken, he isn't exactly handsome, etc.. but he was able to achieve his goal despite his lack of natural gifts.
Most would agree Kevin was more talented on many levels, but it appears he has many unfulfilled dreams. Ronnie accomplished his.
I really think Coleman would rather be dead than what he has become but he's holding on to the hope that a breakthrough is just around the corner.
I'm mostly just trolling Earl.
But kudos to both guys. I will say Ronnie was very nice when I met him whereas Kevin acted like I was some sort of scumbag, although it could have been because I told him I posted here.
-
I don't have a single doubt that Ronnie is still using mega doses of pain killers and steroids , the guy is beyond advices...
I can only wonder how would he look like if he was completely off steroids .
190 lbs with a Palumboism vascular gut ?

WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SAD :'(

bodybuilding just like any other sport if you have elite potential it will be obvious immediately, all the top guys became top guys shortly after turning pro
ronnie went from placing dead last at the O and barely placed top 10 after 6 years or so, this sport isn't worth it if you aren't consistently top 5 in the world
other guys like darrem charles never gave up and they still never came close to being a top guy
ronnie is an exception to the rule as he became elite after years of being mediocre, it wasn't really his strong work ethic, it was nothing more than just not having anything else better to do and not having any other interests outside of the gym
as for writing songs, bodybuilders have a very short peak and then it's all downhill, by the time ronnie won the O Mr. Levrone started his decline so at that point he probably figured why put 100% effort into it and unlike ronnie he had other dreams and interests
he competed throughout the year in the 90's so i don't know how he could be considered lazy or not all in back then

Kevin was the least friendly bodybuilder I’ve ever met. You’d think he’d be friendly or personable to the only person waiting in line for an autograph when you see a 16 year old kid at the NPC Southern States prejudging introducing himself to the weird world of schmoedom. A prime Levrone is a great bodybuilder nonetheless but socially retarded/autistic.

It’s true. Kevin isn’t a friendly guy. Nor does he have any sort of personality. He’s just kinda there.
Zero charisma or charm.

Do you guys realize Haney weighed more in 91 at his best at 254 vs. Coleman at his best in 98 at 252. Haney is an inch taller at 5'11 vs. Coleman 5'10.
Say what you want but Haney in 91 is more complete than Coleman in 98. Coleman wins on freak factor not perfection. Haney wins on Symmetry, Proportions, tie-ins, posing.

Stop repeating this nonsense. Haney was 249lbs in 1991 according to him in his book ( as well as the magazines ) And Ronnie was the same in 1998 and he's the same height 5'11" and Ronnie was much leaner at the same weight than Haney ever was , I.E. more muscle and less fat

I agree. Said it earlier in the thread.
In totality, Haney was better.
And possibly the most gentlemanly bodybuilder I’ve ever had the pleasure to know.

Wrong, listen to the last interview I posted with him. He said he was 254 in 91. And no, Ronow was never 5'11. He was 5'10. When he became Mr. O, he was 5'11. I've stood next to him or spoke with him many times since 1999.
This isn't a whose the leanest contest. It's whose the best. Being leaner dosent mean you'really better.

I'll take what he said at the time in 1991 not 27 years later. I'll take Ronnie's word on his own height before yours , no offense.
It's a whose the leanest AND biggest AND better balanced AND better proportioned AND more complete etc contest and Lee was NEVER has lean as Ronnie was in 98 or 01

Kevin was the one being discussed, not those other bodybuilders. As for how he feels, no one knows that but Kevin, so speculating here is meaningless as is comparing him to others.
What we can say is that he's probably not very intelligent and has no talents outside of competing; unfortunately, his best years are long behind him and he has trouble letting go of it, like an abusive girlfriend that he keeps returning to. That said, he also has been hyping it for years to get followers on social media, sell his protein powders and old DVDs at expo, and remain relevant, since we're talking of him now.

Yeah, a guy talking about his own stats at the top of his career, very reliable way to get honest information. ::)
Nobody said Ronnie was more than 5'9" 1/2 or 5'10"; only gullible magazine writers and slimebag narrators of Olympias when the show was still televised and they wanted to hype up its stars worked that into the dialogue. He's short as hell. But he has long arms and legs on a short torso, and that gave the illusion that he was taller than he was. Filming him from the waist up at a crouching angle in all of Mitsuro Okabe's videos also accentuated his mountainous size without putting it into perspective next to a legitimately big guy like Sean Allen.

When you subtract the self-interest, the need to talk to people to make sales, the ego's nagging prodding to take photos with fans just to end up on their social media feeds and get a thousand comments (about you, not them) or end up in their living room in a frame hanging on the wall, or just the enjoyable experience of having a large number of people line up to shake your hand or slap your shoulder, then what's left isn't much "friendliness" in any of these guys at all.
If you didn't meet them at an expo or a show, they'd never notice you or talk to you. Their 'friendliness' is the same kindness or attention someone in a retail setting gives you when you check out an item or call a contact center with a billing question. It's all scripted and none of it's genuine.
So we can add a line in Kevin's column for honesty, because at least he didn't need to try to hide his indifference to the idiots who go these events like his competitors did. He just didn't like you, like he didn't like anyone but his friends & family. That makes him basically pretty much the average person, if you think about it. Outside of their immediate circle, most people wouldn't lift a finger to help a fellow person or ask them how they're feeling and actually mean it.

Nah. Most people are at least respectful and polite. At the very least they will acknowledge you even if it's with indifference.
I "ran" into Kevin at the Arnold classic as he was walking around in a track suit with no one around him, this is when he was significantly down sized. I walked up to him said hello and mentioned I post on Getbig. He had made a comment on here about attending the show and something about guys who attend who never compete but diet down so they can walk around the expo in shirts that are to tight to show off their arms only body, and I referenced his post.
Needless to say he looked at me with disgust and walked away. I figured it was no big deal, that he didnt want to be bothered because he wasn't at a booth and my buddy said F him for being so rude, that if he didn't want to be bothered he shouldn't have attended the overcrowded expo loaded with bodybuilding fans.
Kevin doesn't owe anyone anything or have to like anyone but if he's going to an event that is designed to celebrate his "celebrity" he should at least be cordial.
I've met King, who catches a lot of flack, backstage after he got callouts that he wasn't happy with during prejudging and he politely told me it wasnt a good time for him and hed talk to me later. Same with Chic and several others.
I Can understand if you don't want to deal with people but take some responsibility and avoid where they are congregated.
Levrone was rude to a 16 year old fan who was waiting in line to meet him, lol. That's keeping it real?

That's a very weird lead-in; "Hey man, remember when you said this one thing on this one site a while ago? Could you kind of elaborate on it, I'm just really curious, not judging you or anything."
...
I'd have walked away, too.
Kevin doesn't owe anyone anything or have to like anyone but if he's going to an event that is designed to celebrate his "celebrity" he should at least be cordial.
He's under no obligation to talk to anyone or meet anyone's subjective criteria for being 'respectful'. He's there for himself and anyone who wants to tag along should understand that and probably avoid talking to him first. After all, it wasn't a meet & greet backstage or something you'd planned together in advance. He doesn't even know who you people are.
I've met King, who catches a lot of flack, backstage after he got callouts that he wasn't happy with during prejudging and he politely told me it wasnt a good time for him and hed talk to me later. Same with Chic and several others.
Well, good for them. I guess when you're at the bottom and miserable, you love company. Who doesn't, right? Any homeless guy will talk your ear off if you give him a cigarette. Those guys are the bodybuilding version of India's untouchables caste.
I Can understand if you don't want to deal with people but take some responsibility and avoid where they are congregated.
Why? I can go anywhere I want and don't feel the need to talk to anyone or have anyone talk to me. What obligates him to do any of that? Being a former competitor? LOL. Grow up, dude. That's not how these things work at all. Rich Piana didn't care for his fans any more than Kevin did; he just had a video channel and a supplement line to sell and talking to wobbly, sideways-hat wearing mouth-breathers with tribal tattoos while his braindead roadies signed their 5%'er water jugs or posters beats working 40 hours in a office or a warehouse on a forklift, which is what he'd be doing if he wasn't a YouTube celebrity. So, stupid and gullible people will sing his praises even when he's a year in a pine box eaten by maggots; I saw a thread about how 'real' and 'easy going' he was just a couple of weeks ago on here.
Levrone was rude to a 16 year old fan who was waiting in line to meet him, lol. That's keeping it real?
Yep, it sure is. If he pretended to befriend that kid, he'd be doing the exact opposite - being a phony just to appease random people who think they know him and therefore like him, without actually having a clue what he's all about or whether he even wants to talk to them. That makes him the exception, not the rule: Most people, as you said, will feel compelled to say something to someone to approaches them in the real world, whether keen to or not. Those of us who don't feel the same compunction will just shrug and keep walking or ignore you if we're stuck in the same space for a time, like at the airport when the garrulous and gay old primemuscle lookalike starts showing you his smartphone and admiring your Samsonite suitcase because he has one too and his flight's delayed.

Nah. Most people are at least respectful and polite. At the very least they will acknowledge you even if it's with indifference.
I "ran" into Kevin at the Arnold classic as he was walking around in a track suit with no one around him, this is when he was significantly down sized. I walked up to him said hello and mentioned I post on Getbig. He had made a comment on here about attending the show and something about guys who attend who never compete but diet down so they can walk around the expo in shirts that are to tight to show off their arms only body, and I referenced his post.
Needless to say he looked at me with disgust and walked away. I figured it was no big deal, that he didnt want to be bothered because he wasn't at a booth and my buddy said F him for being so rude, that if he didn't want to be bothered he shouldn't have attended the overcrowded expo loaded with bodybuilding fans.
Kevin doesn't owe anyone anything or have to like anyone but if he's going to an event that is designed to celebrate his "celebrity" he should at least be cordial.

I take it you've never sent a woman a message on a dating app, website, or social media profile.
His response was very womanesque. Like why would you talk to me.
That's a very weird lead-in; "Hey man, remember when you said this one thing on this one site a while ago? Could you kind of elaborate on it, I'm just really curious, not judging you or anything."
...
I'd have walked away, too.
He was just standing in the aisle and I recognized him. I just went up and said hello and he just stared at me like why would I approach him. It was awkward and I said something like we spoke on get big, I can't remember if he commented that response to a question I had or if it was completely unrelated. I seem to remember that comment getting a response on here so that's why I referenced it.
He's under no obligation to talk to anyone or meet anyone's subjective criteria for being 'respectful'. He's there for himself and anyone who wants to tag along should understand that and probably avoid talking to him first. After all, it wasn't a meet & greet backstage or something you'd planned together in advance. He doesn't even know who you people are.
100% correct. He doesn't owe me/anyone anything. If he wants to act like a clown I can call him on it.
Well, good for them. I guess when you're at the bottom and miserable, you love company. Who doesn't, right? Any homeless guy will talk your ear off if you give him a cigarette. Those guys are the bodybuilding version of India's untouchables caste.
Meh. They were nice, they didn't have to be. At that time they could have been rude and it would be understandable.

He acted how he wanted, it's not a big deal. My only interaction with him, at a bodybuilding expo, he was rude. Frankie Edgar was talkative, so was Randy Coture and Mark Coleman. They were leaving their booths or walking around. They could have been rude too. They weren't so I think they're nice guys. Titus was nice and chatty in person. I liked him. He killed his assistant.
None of it matters. Dave d from getbig says so and so was mean and he was nice, lol
If you show up to an event that's designed to meet people you should be prepared to do that. If you're a "celebrity" in that world and don't want to be bothered have security (or be rude I guess) and you won't be bothered.
Yep, it sure is.

Social norms are norms for a reason. There is an expectation for pleasantries, if someone over steps those boundaries then they are labeled rude, weird, whatever. It's the world we live in.
Kevin did the kid a favor. He quickly realized bodybuilders are a joke and saved him years of wasted dreams.

I’m glad you responded because I didn’t feel like getting into a heated debate with a guy who’s clearly jaded because his life sucks and is as socially retarded as Kevin. A similar scenario happened around that same time (2000) where Jay Cutler was signing autographs at a nutrition store and nobody was there. He was nice, personable, and talked to us for at least 10 minutes. I guess they’re polar opposites when you look at it. One is a four-time Olympia champion and successful businessman and the other is always the bridesmaid and never the bride and is embarrassingly donning a thong in the twilight of his life expectancy with nothing but lint and buttons in his tracksuit pockets. He should focus on being a father, but once again, he doesn’t care about kids.

Wrong, listen to the last interview I posted with him. He said he was 254 in 91. And no, Ronow was never 5'11. He was 5'10. When he became Mr. O, he was 5'11. I've stood next to him or spoke with him many times since 1999.
This isn't a whose the leanest contest. It's whose the best. Being leaner dosent mean you'really better.
So if Ronnie is 5'10".... how tall is Kevin ?
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LE VRO NEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
-
you think haney wins the 98 olympia?
E
While I don't think anyone could beat Ronnie 98'
Lee Haney 85' would even make guys like Levroneeeee look short and blocky
WooSHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
Coleman, 1998 and Haney, 1991
-
Both at their prime would have been a great comparison , giving that Haney was taller with a smaller waist and great back too .
WooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
Stop repeating this nonsense. Haney was 249lbs in 1991 according to him in his book ( as well as the magazines ) And Ronnie was the same in 1998 and he's the same height 5'11" and Ronnie was much leaner at the same weight than Haney ever was , I.E. more muscle and less fat
Both at their prime would have been a great comparison , giving that Haney was taller with a smaller waist and great back too .
WooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ND are you willing to admit Wiggs was correct with about the heights? Or did Haney get on growth hormone post competitive career?

What does this picture prove than?
I was referring to the pic with Ronnie, Lee and Linda. It looks like it's from the late 90s when Lee has size and Ronnie is still in his prime.
Lol the internet is great. Half a dozen pics that show Lee taller than Ronnie, "These pictures mean nothing". "My picture shows the truth." Lol
-
I really like Lee, but apart from Ronnie's gyno, his '98 form should beat Lee's best. Ronnie had superior thighs, comparable chest and back, vastly better arms and, in 1998, he was drier and more detailed.
I'm not saying it'd be a landslide; nonetheless, at that time, Ronnie had things that Lee did not.

I never measured Ronnie and I'm not sure you did either. He says he's 5 11. He also said he's a cop when he no longer was. He also said he didn't do steroids. Is he a liar or do we just pick and choose what we should believe.

Lol a clown who says pictures are deceiving uses PICTURES to show proof that they arent......
I can't tell where Dorian and Lee are standing, is there a chance that one is closer to the the camera than the other?
Or was it only Heath that uses that trick?
Or why would a bodybuilder want to stand closer to the judges by a few inches?
You're a goof. Your objection is your defense, LOL.

Dave D showcasing his usual class act of not taking anything on getbig personally and defusing explosive back-and-forths by not feeding into them. We need more guys like him and there'd be less Parklands and Virginia Techs.

He should have rehabbed conservatively and just cruised on hrt levels of stuff. Between his neurological issues and artificial joints he is never going to look the part ever again so why carpet bomb your body at that age with gas? It probably is mental illness... Or he has been on such amounts for so many years it became his psychological normal and he doesn't even have a memory reference of what not being a walking laboratory was like.... It's messed up, and idk how anyone could ever give the guy a steroid intervention when just about everyone he knows is on also...

True. He's outlived Nasser by at least 7 years and you've gotta figure their drug use was comparable. Also, seems like his health problems are primarily musculoskeletal in nature. If he hadn't continued to overdo it in the weight room after retirement he may have enjoyed a long, active life.
Remarkably resilient genetics, to say the least

Yeah, though he had already started to have problems the last couple of years when he competed. Chad mentioned seeing his one lat starting to shrink.
I've seen some experts and coaches say that operating on the back is almost always a mistake, it "never" works. I'm no back expert and don't know what would have been best but would he have been in a worse position now if he had not had surgery? Maybe he's extra fucked now due to the surgeries...

yes and he was nothing but cool and friendly
yes i would still be a fan all that matters in bodybuilding is how you look, all that matters with other athletes is how they perform, i don't need anybody to pretend to be my buddy when they don't personally know me and it's not a crime to not be the life of the party
maybe these guys just caught him at a bad time, i remember seeing trump on the howard stern show before he was president and he said people approach him all the time even when he is pissing and he said if he does one thing slightly less than friendly they will tell everybody they know what a jerk he is
the negative opinions always speak the loudest

Good post, I agree
I’ve met him briefly in 2002, was nice, nothing bad to say about him
Seen my share of pros during the late 90’s and early 2000’s, don’t really recall any bad encounters, even the supposedly douchebag Shawn wasn’t so bad
-
Shawn Ray is perfectly fine.
He’s direct, confident and speaks brutal truth.

And he's hit rock bottom post-retirement before and got himself back on his feet again, without a ridiculously overhyped comeback on the stage or posting teaser vids of his 'progress' on social media to troll his fans.

lee wouldn't place top 6 at the 98 O
E
im not too sure about that...Nasser...no back...Ray...too small (never troubled Haney anyway) Wheeler 50-50 due too his own conditioning in 98...the only 2 I could see possibly giving a 1991 haney any issues are Kevin and Coleman however Kevin’s 1 weakness was Haney’s main strength...his back...and we all know no back...no Olympia...Coleman is a whole different story in 98 it would take a 1993 or 95 Yates too seriously contest a 1998 Coleman

i thought this thread would be about ronnie?
-
Haneys structure is far better than Ronnies, so any old school bodybuilders would support the position if Haney did what Ronnie did, ultimately Haney would have been better than Ronnie, Big Ron has the best genetic response muscle wise we have ever seen, he overcompensated with huge muscle but structuarlly he's close to the worst Mr Olympia, Yates, Haney, Zane, Arnold all had better structures. Gutler is another to get there without structure, but thats why him ronnie and now Phil are all part of the all drugs generation, no one is saying they are not great bodybuilders, but the criteria on how the sport was judged changed to allow for mass monsters with structural short falls to win.

looking balanced in 91 just would've looked small in 98
small legs, small arms, and he wasn't as lean as them either
he retired at the perfect time because he wasn't dealing with the rich gaspari's and lee labrada's of bodybuilding anymore, the competition went from the minor leagues to the all stars

Is that crippled, slovenly, incoherent, babbling buttwiper of a piglet (Coleman) still alive?
-
no need to judge the guy...
my take is this...... when you the best at something and its an extreme concept (bbing, porn, high stakes poker, heavy metal band) you burn your candle a bit faster
guys.. he isnt like most and not a rational thinker - goes with the extreme lifestyle
hot yoga would do some good tho - Namaste

This poor guy is taking a beating. Never seen anyone with all that he’s gone through with as much drive as him and with an always, positive outlook.

if you think about it ronnie is a bit like Prince who jacked him hips from wearing pumps for over 20 yrs, jumping off of pianos and stages. Let us hope Ronnie stays away from the scripts. Maybe lifting is his therapy. BBers are all about no pain, no gain, so in his mind continued pain and surgeries are progress vs. popping pills.

2:25 4 to 5 30mg oxy a day. Based on his surgeries; neck fusion, both hips and endless back surgeries I'm thinking he's moved on from these doses.

Haney was anywhere from 247-252 lbs in 1991 I’m not sure how you’d come too that conclusion he would look small in 98, bigger isn’t better unless it’s properly balanced his quads were spot on in 1991 in relation too his own structure granted his arms were always so-so it’s a marginal point if your talking about most the “bigger” guys in 98 who had glaring weak points.
“bigger” isn’t better most times @ that level just ask Levrone, Nasser, Dillet, Cormier and the rest of the 90s giants that never won a single Olympia and remember little old 200lbs soaking wet Shawn Ray beat all that lot and many others that outweighed him bye more than 60-70lbs in some cases, he beat them because he had better balance, conditioning and had less weak points than most back then.

Looks like Ronnie will survive Aretha Franklin .....who knew ?

still at it with those pointless poundages and bouncing half-reps with no pause at the top, then a month later posting photos of himself lying on a hospital bed with broken metal parts in his spine again. ::)
That he keeps getting one chance after another while other people die of cancer or other untreated diseases they can't afford to fix, many of them children, is why this guy's a walking disgrace. Christian my ass.
Next time you feel sorry for someone in a bad situation, ask yourself if they're doing the equivalent of this in their spare time: Drugs, overeating, smoking, etc. The vast majority of people with repeated avoidable health issues that are lifestyle related ARE LIARS who keep at it until they DROP.

That’s going to do those screws in his back that keep snapping the world of Good

At least STAND, you know?
Allow for a measure of cushioning Body English.
Coleman’s not an educated weight trainer in the least. And the man has zero self control or common sense.
Total turkey.
He’ll be perma-wheelchaired before too long.

Must be on a lot of painkillers.

fortress Ronnie is so dumb and an attention whore when he goes to a funeral he's upset because all the attention is on the person in the coffin and not him.

you don’t have too care 247-252lbs on a 5ft 11 guy in full contest condition with a small waist etc is not going too look “small” next too Anyone @ the 1998 Mr Olympia.
Shawn Ray wether it’s his 1988-91 version or his 1994 or 96 version was never going too beat a Prime Haney, Yates or Coleman the main reason being (sic)....size when combined with complete balance and conditioning something most the other big guys were lacking in comparison too the above 3.
-
why do you care so much?
-
He is carrying lots of muscle tbh https://www.instagram.com/p/BmgsjFZgPTs/?taken-by=ronniecoleman8, that is pretty impressive for his health condition, but it hurts watching him jerking these weights. Dude could achieve even better results while training slowly with lower weights and avoid all these repeated surgeries.. I guess not the smartest individual..
-
Should get into yoga, mobility, and "light weights baby". ::)
Sharp as a marble that guy.

Looks like the belly fat cream is not working on him....

ronnie is without a doubt the dumbest mr olympia ever, the only mr olympia who managed to cripple himself lifting weights, has over 20 kids as well, i think he likes the pain and surgeries myself i think he is so hooked on pain meds he purposely hurts himself to get more pain meds.he speaks in ebonics you cant even understand what he is saying half the time

He’s just a male version af an aging diva once everyone wanted to fuck or marry. Can’t let go of the attention being huge and famous brings. He’s hooked and probably left with 5 years
-
Glad to see he replaced those bolts by heavyduty ones.
-
At least, he can take confort in the fact that his calves are "as good as" in 1998.

That’s it in a nutshell. What else is the guy going to do to get even 1/100th of the recognition he had as Mr. O? He has nothing else, in his mind.
-
What a retard I use too feel bad for him not anymore. He wants to get hurt!!
-
Front raises and shrugs are two pretty useless exercises in my opinion, but combining them with a guy who has a laundry list of injuries and surgeries makes them even more silly
-
In the vid of the front raises.... he's got that thousand yard stare of a man going through the movements of the only thing he has ever known and ever will know...

hahahah
see your defense of black celebrities isn't the kind of frontal assault that white-hating blacks and guilty whites do. You actually pick apart the superlatives and hyperbole and leave the facts to stand. I like that.

I’m not but Ronnie makes at least one kid per year

Ronnie Coleman might step on the Olympia stage this year.

he wasn't conditioned like they were in 98 so his height or measurements are irrelevant,
shawn 93 -2001 beats any version of haney, it's not even close and i don't even like shawn
