Its monkey see monkey do these days, guys eating cookies pre workout eating poptarts/rice krispie treats/cereal post workout,  burger and fries for "cheat meals." You think Dorian was eating poptarts? Rich Gaspari wouldn't even eat oats close to a show because it contains gluten. Levrone eating fish and rice for weeks. These guys are watching what each other do and now all of a sudden it's part of the competition diet.

Ronnie seems so high.

Guy: "Hi Ronnie, how are you"
Ronnie: "Huh, ha, ha ha, yeah"...

I have no proof but it is of my opinion that Ronnie is an opiate addict at this point.  Which is sad. I hope it's addressed soon.

Brother Wiggs I believe you are 100% spot on.

Watching that was kinda sad;  Ronnie was never known for being the most articulate person out there but wow... this isn't even the same Ronnie from a few years ago.  This is "perpetual-pain-pill-popping" Ronnie.

That's nice of you to say, but didn't you check out Ronnie's Netflix documentary?  In it, I believe he stated that he takes 45mg Oxycodone every six hours - so 180mg Oxycodone daily.  It may have been 40mg / six hours, but I think my first memory was right.

So...yeah, sadly...he is an opiate addict at this point.  At the very least, he is getting his Oxycodone from the pharmacy, rather than the streets!

My concern is more along the lines of if he is purposely training the way he does, almost to get injuries on purpose, to up his prescription.  That would be almost conspiracy level stuff, but opiate-seeking is something that people actually do, and maybe Ronnie is at a place where the opiates are taking most of the pain away, and allowing him to continue to live this lifestyle, and basically making him say "F*ck it - I'll do what I want."

I'm not getting the impression from Ronnie speaking that he has lost the will to live or anything.  He just seems content training extremely hard, and treating his pain with opiates.

And - I have no proof when I say this, but I think that Ronnie is using opiates a bit beyond simply relieving pain.

I’d imagine with his injuries, there’s no way he can function without it at this point. I’m not disagreeing with you, more or less saying he has no choice now.

That was the most brutal way of shitting on the current lineup, whilst still being the ultra nice fella he is.  Love it.

Ronald Dean Coleman is the GOAT. I hope his body can heal to the point where he can at least drop the pain killers. He has a legitimate love for the gym and lifting, guy gave everything for us bitches

I think Ronnie was just caught off guard cause he was being interviewed by a man in a suit that nearly fit him.

Sad to see his body so messed up from lifting. Thought Yates was a wreck from injuries but it's nothing compared to Ronnie. Ronnie's strength at his peak was insane.

Those pain meds, man. At least he's happy but there has to be a way to fix his back and get him out of the gym.

Thx Bro, appreciate it!

look for yourself pics from the 90s even early 2000s these guys today are soft smooth bloated in comparison and even the guys who have some of that in check still don't look hard and cut

I've literally no clue what people are talking about. Is it just that "Everything used to be better in the ol' days.."-talk from bitter old farts? So a William Bonac doesn't look hard and cut these days? ???

Bonac's conditioning is irrefutable, IMO.  But I suppose Ronnie would rule him out based on size.

So the combination of massive size [>240-lb...250?] and that sort of conditioning is I think what Ronnie is saying is rare.  If I had to guess.

I think we've basically had two weak years...aside from that, bodybuilding hasn't much changed in the past 20 years, IMO.  I think we may have already seen the maximum a human body can be developed with Ronnie of some of the others of bodybuilding's past.

Different drugs give a different look I guess. The guys had a grainier look back in the day, today they are a bit puffy/ploofy.

He is right though, some 6th place guys back in the day would win today. (1998 Cormier, etc).

With all that dedication to diet [and training, based on videos available online], I wonder what guys like Gaspari and Levrone would look like PED-free.

I can honestly say I don't even know what an actual top natural bodybuilder looks like.  PEDs are so ubiquitous, that even as a long-time fan of the "sport", I honestly have no idea what a top natural bodybuilder looks like.
