Title: Ronnie Coleman - Question - Why supinate the grip?
Post by: denarii on November 08, 2018, 02:54:30 PM
If he has straps, why supinate the grip? Also the calves dont lean into the bar and his quads are at max extension and almost a flat back to start this pull

I wouldn't look to Ronnie for form. He fucked up his back from years of lifting wrong. I have too, but thank God not as bad as him. I did stop lifting weight for a year after my surgery though....

HT/M79 who's a good example of great form that lifted insane weight and is in good health?

I don't think Ronnie's form was bad, I think drugs allowed him to go way beyond his physical limitations, like they do for everyone who uses them. Some people are built to withstand the wear and tear better as they are larger framed, like Bill Kasmaier.

Ronnie's body is a wreck because he never allowed it to recover once he damaged it. He is full tilt even today. And there in lies his problem.

Ronnie with "perfect" form would still be a mess today because Ronnie can not stay out of the gym.

Posted about it before. Laminectomy and discectomy on lower back. I was in the hospital for 2 days, couldn’t poop to save my life so I couldn’t go home. Recovery was a bitch. Didn’t fix too much. Ended up getting stem cells and decompression therapy. That has been working.
Mostly cause by being a maxing out dumbass with shitty form. Working out again for a while. I avoid anything that puts direct pressure on spine. I don’t max out. And I been working core and doing yoga, yes very beta.

I talked with Ed Coan last week and he said Ronnie's back got messed up in part because all his power came from his quads and back. He said Ronnie's hips were not that strong and his back had to take the brunt of the stress when doing squats.

Drugs can't overcome a constant barrage of max intensity. You can look to something like the old Bulgarian Olympic weightlifting system. Those guys had tremendous technique but also did huge amounts of volume at peak intensity. I forget what their head coach said but it was to the point of he broke x number of bodies to find one or
two champions.

Really thinking about it, Platz is the only one who really comes to mind who floored it in the gym and is kinda sorta ok. He ripped that bicep doing db fly with like 45s. Apart from that, I think maybe shoulder pain but that is everyone who lifts for ages. I kind of feel he is a pure anomaly though. Kevin seemed ok till he decided to come back like a dickhead. Since then he had his knee start rotting apart and according to his ig a "small torm tricep tendon."

Platz wasn’t doing 600 to 800 pound squats or 800 pound deadlifts, he also didn’t keep repping 600 pound front squats, get injured, not fully recovered and kept doing it

He also didn’t retire like Ronnie but kept at it even after major surgeries just to do leg press, while his screws broke, which was evidenced by branch Warren

It’s getting to Levrone now as well, but he doesn’t seem to keep pushing at full throttle either, if he does, sooner or later it will result in the same faith. He’s had a pec tear, triceps tears in the past. Now he’s having knee and triceps issues. Age gets the best of you

And most of the Bulgarian lifters were wrecked by age 30.  Remember Leo Costa's Bulgarian Power Burst training in the early '90's before his Big Beyond Belief system with Platz on the cover?  Do that program for a month and you will be burned out like never before.

Exactly... I also feel these crossfit morons will be paying the piper bigtime in 10-20 years time. All of them doing oly lifts with dreadful form on a constant basis along with all the other impact on a regular basis. Whoever invented stuff like a snatch ladder wants people crippled. Let's take a very technical movement and encourage people to be as loose and sloppy as possible with it multiple times in a couple of minutes... Disrespect the barbell and it will disrespect you...

That is true but platz did go overboard on the intensity and probably was moving similar loads relative to bodyweight/frame and also had some horrific form on some movements like pull ups and hack squats. That said, didn't he also say he rested something like 14 days in between leg days? Kevin is just a moron, he could have promoted his crap and looked good on high trt dosages and smart training.

Very smart. After many years of herniating discs (one 2 weeks ago that is just feeling better) its time to make some changes. No compression. No heavy DL's or Squats.
I tried some belt squats and they felt real good, zero compression (it actually pulled a bit and decompressed while doing them).

Wife was doing DL's w/ 135 this AM, so I just did that w/ her. I will do belt squats again tomorrow on leg day. HTexan, Im going to Google this (decompression therapy) to see what it is,t hanks for the tip.

Yeah but Ronnie was still working out hard with screws in his back after countless surgeries, they broke while he was doing leg presses. Even while in crutches he limped to the gym, is that dedication or pure idiotic?

He further damaged himself 11 years removed from his last O appearance, that’s the point I’m trying to make

His mentality got him in this predicament. Kinda like Meldrick Taylor after Chavez damn near killed him in that first fight and he kept fighting for years thinking he still had the skillset all the while sounding more and more like he has a mouthful of haribo gummies at all times. Or even entertainment, that idiot Paul Stanley had to have nodules repaired and instead of letting the surgery heal and following orders he went back on tour almost immediately and now he sounds like he chugged acid immediately before concerts and has for several years now. Delusions are powerful things.

And one of the greatest physiques ever seen.

I didn’t notice to many slating him & knocking him when he was at the top of his game.

If he has straps, why supinate the grip? Also the calves dont lean into the bar and his quads are at max extension and almost a flat back to start this pull
Point is to exert maximum amount of pover. During his heavy lifting Ronnie has found this to be his most effective starting point. His hips are more poverful than his thighs.
Bodybuilding was secondary here.
