In a new video (posted below), Ronnie Coleman announces he is going to have a stem cell treatment in his back, to help his legs. Apparently, unlike Lee Priest, he can afford it.
He says that he’s been training at Metroflex gym for the past two weeks but he’s splitting his time between home and gym and will do all of his training at the gym once things return to more normalcy.
He goes on to say: “Because of my disability, I can only do like 20 minutes now.” He says he has a herniated disk in his upper back, his lower back is bone on bone, his right leg is completely numb, and his left leg is partially numb.
The stem cell therapy in his back is to hopefully improve his strength and function because his back is causing the weakness in his legs.
He also says: “I got 14 screws, I got 2 cages and 2 rods. Circulation is kind of hard when you got all that hardware in your back.”

The video, about 13 minutes, is an interview by Giles Thomas:
Look fast near the end with Coleman in a motorized wheelchair at Joe Rogan’s studio.
His current condition is startling, considering what he was. I think it is also genuinely sad.
-
Damn. Yeah in a motorized cart.
-
His back injuries originate from getting a bad spot. Brian dobson tells the story in an interview on youtube. Said ronnie was squatting 600 and some new guy spotted him and had him hunching forward because he didnt know what he was doing and ronnie blew a disk. If you train heavy thats your worst nightmare.

Ronnie said in an interview it happened when he did those 800lbs squats on his video. He heard a pop sound from his back and that was the start of it all.

If he said that that's bullshit, the first serious injury was back in 96 as mike says...
There were previous injuries as well, he clearly has a bad back genetically, and then he choose to pound it into dust when he should have stopped post 07-09

Add that annoying interviewer to the punchable face list.

I spoke to someone who used to compete with him in the 90s, he asked him if he planned on going for Haneys record, he said "if my back holds out , its real bad now"
Looks like he ignored the warnings his body was telling him
-
I heard the back problem originated from his football playing days.

Trying not to get carried away with your training, particularly when you are juiced to the gills and immature can be hard. You feel so strong and invincible, playing with weights you would struggle with naturally. Add showboating for an audience or trying to out do your training partner, when you ignore the twinges and the tweaks and that is recipe for disaster.
-
So a bad spotter is to blame for all hs back problems? ::) ???
Ronnie is low IQ moron.

Curly: "Hey Moe, I've got a weak back"
Moe: "Hey Jug-head, when did that happen"".
Curly: "Oh about a week back, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk"

Ronnie's a victim of soicumstance!

When conventional treatments have been exhausted, bring in the quacks.

The can't on the far left got cucked by Cedric. Lmfao.

Is this serious?
I always thought Cedric was a closet homo, but the cucking does kinda make sense. The twat went from being a huge Cedric fan to talking shit about him every time his name was mentioned.

No, genetic abnormality just like all the bodybuilders with liver and kidney problems. Squatting 800lbs into old age has no negative effects on the spine.

Did someone already photoshop Giles' forehead to be bigger than it is, and also photoshop Khan's head to be smaller than it is?

Lots of punchable faces.
What an annoying cunit.

Well i know a guy from Metroflex gym that said back when Ronnie was natural and won his first Olympia title, he slipped a disc doing his robot dance with a "splits" finish back stage.

Appears to be so. He will fucking flip when it gets "mentioned" on MD. LMFAO. Cannot fucking stand him.

Yes, he’s had these problems since the 90’s. Can’t remember which battle for the olympia video it was, I think it’s either 96 or 97, I recall him talking about his back
-
Dat dere stem cell tech...'n' sheit.
Fuck that ignorant druggie.
-
I hope Ronnie gets some benefit from stem cell therapy.

Not sure what happened with Giles and Rosie, that ended weird and he never addressed the issue. Anyone know why they split ?
-
I doubt stem cells will help destroyed spines, metal implants, fake hips and joints, etc.
(Or a peanut brain).
-
Everybody wanna be a bodybuilder, don't nobody wanna get no stem cells
-
It won’t help. Hope this helps.
-
Brain cells would be more appropriate.

Ronnies gonna end up bankrupt from all this shit.... All so he can go to the gym and destroy himself some more.
He does all this damage for years, all the while his body is breaking down, instead of stopping or training sensibly he keeps doing it continually and keeps deteriorating. While this happens he goes to all these Drs expecting them to somehow fix these issues he is exacerbating?? He's a fucking idiot.
The ship sailed on his recovery about 11-12 years ago.

Ronnie's injury was from 1996. I think he said that in The Unbelievable video which was from 2000. It was also said that his alleged "natural" Mr. Olympia appearance was in 1996.
Whether anyone believes the natural claim is one thing, but that claim was about 1996. As to slipping his disc from a competition injury, that's possible. The bursitis he got in his elbow came from his victory collapse at the 2005 Mr. Olympia, and that injury affected the entire left side.

Sadly, I agree completely. I was a little over 8 minutes into that podcast, but I had to turn it off. It was just depressing to see Ronnie like that. I couldn't even click the Thumbs Up button on YouTube, because of that. I also stopped looking at Ronnie Coleman's Instagram page because I couldn't watch him destroy himself.

Damn, that’s brutal. He’s just injury prone. Even when not working out, a “victory collapse” affected him for the rest of his life

Matt is right, he's stated that normally he would collapse and bang the stage with his fists/hands, in 2005 the floor was cement and not wood so there was no give. As a result he injured his tricep, I gather this was a substantial injury. And added to the other problems that were just creeping in, (quad and Lat atrophy)

Ronnie turned himself into a cripple doing 800lb squats with a bad back and looks like shit now. Vince Taylor had bad knees so he never squated heavy, trained smart and looks better today in his 60’s than 99% of retired bodybuilders.

Yep, Taylor should be emulated. Ronnie should switch to something very light, like Pilates.
