Title: Ronnie Coleman is Back Weighing 285-lb.
Post by: Matt on December 29, 2021, 09:26:52 PM
Bah.

Brutal if true.

Watching this now to get the details. Ronnie should really stick to 220, or maybe 240 max. Ronnie is turning 58 in May, and his mom passed away from pancreatic cancer around 2014.

I just don't care for this one bit...

Again, he should focus on just slimming down, and training for fitness and rehab, and stuff like that.

But hey, it's what he loves. I just don't get why he's presumably bragging about it. I bet people in the YouTube comments are praising him for it, as well as on Instagram, but I didn't check.

Even Giles is immediately impressed when Ronnie says he's 285 here:

Bah.

"You look amazing." - Giles

Giles is a nice guy. I met him on a flight back home from either an Arnold Classic or a Mr. Olympia once [he was seated next to me]. But this bigorexia by proxy needs to stop.

It's not good for Ronnie. Ronnie, of all people, has absolutely nothing to prove.

That's funny about the Stones. Didn't Keith Richards just turn 78? Lol, how is that even possible?

The good news is, Ronnie is only 2-lb away from his weight at the 2003 Mr. Olympia contest:

I like Ronnie, always thought he was a good person at heart.

But it's hard to see/hear this.

I've come to the conclusion that Ronnie is a bodybuilder to his core and is content going out via bodybuilding.  Fuck it.  Good for him.  He's earned the right to do what makes him happy.

I think he should get bigger than he’s ever been before.  After all the surgeries and the time off, his body is optimized for growth.  Let’s see a personal best out of you, Mr Coleman!

The human body can recover from almost anything if given the chance. All of us have our injuries our aches and pains. Coleman is inspirational if he can return to form in his late 50s after multiple major surgeries, we all can.

He's no where near 285lbs. Ronnie is the GOAT but he's got a history of saying flat out lies. He told Rogan his bf was in the negative numbers in his prime. Something stupid like that. Said he turned pro and competed for years natural. Now he's 285 again. Sure Ronnie

Didn't you place in the top of your class in the UK Championships? Why do some bodybuilders feel the need to go on way past their prime?

Seems to me that it's hard for some to cope with the body weight / size loss, and the resultant loss of identity.

I legitimately worry about Ronnie's health.

LMAO. Didn't Flex Wheeler claim he was measured at 0% body fat at Gold's Gym Venice?

Lou Ferrigno was in a radio interview where he claimed 1% body fat.

As for Ronnie competing "naturally", LOL: does that mean no insulin or GH? Steroids only?  ???

If so, then...maybe.

It's wild how the current era of pro bb has seen the ages of the competitors creeping into their 40's and even mid 40's. Being on the gas so hard at that age can't be good. The 90's era guys all turned pro in their mid 20's and then had 10yr careers before getting out.

I checked the Rogan interview. Ronnie said he was natural, no drugs, into his 30's. So that would mean in '94, even '95 he was natural. Thats not as bad as him telling Rogan he was .33% bf. Not 3.3 but .33 lol

Mick Jagger , Keith Richards etc they all REALLY care about their health , they're pushing 80 but skinny and eating healthy.... sure they might sell the drugs and R& R image' but even on stage they drink nothing but water .

Not a single point of comparison with Ronnie or any bodybuilder past their prime

LMAO.

Only if "natural" means anabolics only, and no peptides and other PED's. I could buy that Ronnie got to his size in 1994 or just after using only Test, etc. He is a genetic freak, after all.

Ronnie has the constitution of a horse, but as you said, competitors are dying pretty young.

I believe Ronnie's mom was only 70 when she died, around 2014.

I guess Ronnie loves it. Also, no doubt he has the constitution of a horse.

I am not saying he is stage ready but the man is certainly looking large obviously he is 57 years old

Just because he doesn't look like he can win the O this year doesn't mean he shouldn't train. Why should he give it up? He likes to train hell he loves it so fuck yes he should train it probably keeps him alive. Trying to be the best you can be is valid at any age. He doesn't have to be as good as he was to be great. The man went to hell and back for this shit put some respect on his name.

He isn’t very big and is slowly becoming crippled.

He has the worst form when he lifts.

It is painful to watch him now pushing himself closer to death ED.

The Ronnie threads are always good ones, but I fear his years are numbered because I believe he is now a drug addict from the physical and mental pain and can never grow from his current state.

I hope a miracle happens for him and his family.

Well the bodyfat measurements do not lie, as during the commentary for the 93 Olympia , Jim Quinn stated that Flex had a skinfold measurement done at Golds and it was 0.0%, the lowest ever tested there.

His arms really did look bigger he looked fuller than he has previously. He also seemed genuinely excited about it I have no reason to doubt him. However I have noticed he carries more weight in his midsection now as well. He is probably 285 with 25% bodyfat now which isn't the same as stage ready. But that doesn't mean he isn't 285. Lets wait and see the next training videos before judging the progress he claims
