Title: Ronnie Coleman
Post by: Shakh on October 26, 2021, 06:08:24 PM
In this video he claims to have competed at 0.33% bodyfat. The human body cannot sustain life for very long at 4%. He also said that off season he would go as high as 3%. I happened to go see him guest pose at a show in Ft Lauderdale Fl in 1998 or 99. He weighed around 330 lbs and must have been at least 20-25% bf. His legs were the size of tree trunks.

Of course the drugs played a major role in achieving his muscle mass/strength and allowing him to reach 5-7% bf on stage. I'm not suggesting him to be a con or liar. Maybe his trainers and/or nutritionists gave him false infromation on his bf or should I say bs numbers.

He actually contradicts himself when he said that he was 330 at his max which I certainly believe but if he was at 3% bf at the time and he went down to .33% then he would have weighed 320 on stage lol

Jim Quinn said that Flex was measured at 0.0 % body fat before the '93 Olympia!

Ronnie also claims natural FYI

Here's my calculation. At his max weight of 330 he was about 22% bf  He cut down to 280 to compete which means he lost 50lbs or 15% bf to reach 6-7%

There were many times he carried so much water I fully expected him to show his gills.

that story about the coffee and vodka with levrone in europe was the craziest

3 years as a lower tier pro, last place, riding trains through europe while lee priest is flying around - supporting yourself on pizza delivery money - then kev drops some drank and some knowledge on you

Ronnie is one of those that knows nothing about bbing, he takes and does anything the gurus and others tell him, he has no idea what drugs he’s injecting

Jim Quinn is a fucking retard.  All they had to do was bend flex over and clamp those calipers on his soft ass for a more accurate reading.

And Coleman makes Quinn look like Epstein Einstein.

Ok I just read the first page #1 Skinfold also known as calipers are the type of testing that gives the most unaccurate results plus the person would have to know exactly where to pinch and how the person is properly positioned and the quality of the calipers  all just to get an approximate number. To truly know ones bf% it is done in water. #3 And most importantly is when you go below 5% you start taxing the fat that your kidneys lie on and that's when you put your life in danger

Nasser El Sonbaty once said that Ronnie was one of the very few pros to have both: elite genetics, and a sincere enjoyment for super-heavy training.


PS: Image if Flex Wheeler trained like Johnnie Jackson

It's a lot easier to be a powerlifter than a bodybuilder but you get way more recognition and money in bbing

Ronnie knows what he’s saying is BS.

As dumb as he can come off he knows numbers having a degree in accounting.

He was told they weren't drugs, that's why he can claim he was natural.
