I think it was always hard for me to assess Ron's physique neutrally, because he is in an industry surrounded by mass monsters. GH15 said that Ron had the worst PED response in bodybuilding history and/or used a tremendous lot.
I'm not sure who furnished him with that information.
I suppose Ron's results do depend on how much gear he is using. If he is using IFBB pro level stacks, then yes, he is small.
If he's using sort of normal gym rat cycles, then I'd have to say - he is pretty massive. He is 5'8.5" and...I think around 210-lb or so, in contest?
It also looks like he was around 187-lb in contest shape, around age 22 or so. That's pretty big by just about anything other than IFBB pro standards.
His legs are also enormous.
Specifically why might I have been misjudged his physique? Was I just comparing him to pros? Are his arms a bit short/small for his overall size? Is his waist a bit wide?
I think it's that his arms are basically dwarfed by his legs? Is that just because he has a short wingspan [under 70"]?
Somehow, something looked small, yet reviewing his pics carefully...he is pretty big. I think it's his arms? Meanwhile, he has IFBB pro sized legs.
He doesn't post many back shots, leading me to believe he thinks his back is not good, but IMO, his back is pretty big.
It's just the arms that are too small for his physique, right?
Discuss.

Arms were not big enough. Plain and simple.
-
Just lacks the muscle insertions for a top bodybuilder.
Certainly he looked impressive in the gym next to average people.
-
The arms are/were his worst feature it the above. Also there isn't any wow factor to his look, that isn't an insult, it's what happens to most guys, they simply look like guys that train seriously on stage vs the ones that draw your eye.

Looks natty here...

Yeah I think his chest/back took the brunt of the load in compound movements and he never learned to isolate & stimulate his lagging muscles

^ Even his "weak" arms must be 18" or more.
I was looking at Ron's photos and realized how massive he is compared to me. He would be huge in any normal gym. I think I was comparing him to the IFBB giants he was writing about.
My arms are a little over 16" in that photo [they are not pumped], and Ron must have at least 2" on mine.
When I saw him at the airport leaving an expo, in off-season mode, I think his arms may have been over 19".
I think he has a short wingspan/reach, so because of that, even 19" arms can look "small".
And his legs are massive.
Even if Ron's arms are not 19", I would say they MUST be 18" or more...

Put Brian Hankins next to Ron Harris and then compare, then put Melvin there and let them both say the N-word and see how Goodrum reacts

;D ;D ;D
How much sleep did you lose over it?
For me - a month.
He was trashed quite a bit on here back in the day...but the dude looks good.
Out of curiosity, did Ron ever get an IFBB pro card?
I always thought maybe he'd win a 50+ Master's contest...especially with all these new divisions.

Looks juiced here...

I had a friend compete in a local show a couple years back, Ron showed up.
Sat near him and talked for a little while, very easy going guy, seemed pretty cool and laid back...
Looked to be in very good shape, but not overly big...

Please help me develop my "lower biceps", and maybe I will look juiced?

Yeah,I did the New Englands a couple of times with Ron.....pretty good guy.

Look at this juiced hunk of a man! Looking Chunky!

Ron has always had that annoying punchable nerd face

There are literally thousands of us (yes me) with average or below average bodybuilding genetics .... that doesn't stop the love we have for it ..., but that's not going to get us far competition wise .... gyms are filled with them! ... what's to discuss?
-

I'm actually starting to wonder if his face made me misjudge his physique.
Look at this photo of Branch Warren from 2001. Now put the face of Bob Paris or Dennis Newman on this physique, and you realize how aesthetic his physique actually is.
Likewise, if you just look at Ron's physique, I feel you can see how in-shape he is. Ron's face doesn't "match" his physique in this respect.
-
Poor structure, poor muscle shape, small arms, shitty tatts, small cock, NEXT
-

And throw in a picture of yourself for good measure?
Matt, you look like a bag of fucking milk. If it wasn’t for your piss poor form you might have some development
Yes, you are Canadian you know what this is.

Unfortunately in my case, it's not even close.
I feel like the only muscle group where I had potential for a lot of development is my delts. Look at my biceps in that shot I posted - they are both flat AND short. Whereas Kevin Levrone and Sergio Oliva had flat but LONG biceps, and Albert Beckles had short but PEAKED biceps, mine have no such peaks.
In fact, I'm not sure if I would have ever trained had I known I had these deficits.

17 inches, maybe.

Ron has gotten a lot of flak on here before. He's gotten a lot of negative comments, and when I saw one of his Instagram posts, I realized just how good he is.
It made me wonder: why were people bashing him? Were they comparing Ron to top IFBB pros?
In a vacuum, surely Ron's physique is quite good. Compared to many normal lifters or even juicers, Ron is very good.
In what world does he have a bad physique?
IMO, those being critical were comparing him to pros, sort of by association.
Also, his arms are small for his legs, which I think people notice. I think those were the reasons Ron was criticized.
Here's my thought process for including my picture, webstar:
I was just looking at his pictures, and realized he is leaps and bounds ahead of me in everything. I was like...I must have misjudged his physique. Ron's physique is not "attainable" for most people. His legs are ahead of probably 99.99% of men.
That's 1 in 10,000.
There are 54,000 males in my city. Do I think five men here have better legs than Ron?
Yeah...maybe.
So that's top 0.01% [better than 99.99%].
I honestly think that Ron's arms being small for his overall size made me sort of overlook his whole physique.
Ron is definitely a good competitive bodybuilder. I'm sort of surprised he hasn't picked up an IFBB pro card yet.
Ron is good. Certainly way better than I could ever be. I think if he had bigger arms, he could have turned pro.

Let's say we just saw Ron's legs in isolation...IMO, those are IFBB pro sized legs. It seems like his arms and...maybe his back?...are a bit light, but otherwise does have a pro level physique.
Funny that for as serious a competitor as Ron is, and given his arms are a weak point, I don't think he ever used Synthol. Nasser said that Synthol was as common as toilet paper among pros.
-
Again, if you isolate some of Ron's photos, he does look like a pro to me.

Not to mention a shitty ghost writer who had written a lot of misinformation back in the day. Plus he's has a face you just want to punch numerous times.

Funny you think adding oil that blocks blood flow and kills actual tissue is going to improve his arms
-

But put Matt Cannelloni next to him (via Photoshop or regular photo) and you see how he shrinks while Matt looks more chunky
It's all about reference
Many builders look great alone , but put them next to someone of repute (like Matt, Paul Dillett, Hunter etc) and you see the real state of affairs

There is a face on Getbig i'd rather punch/that is a tad more punchable!

Matt if you are trying to make an accurate comparison you'll need to redo the photo showing your war face.

Why did you inject oil, Bhanky?
-
What is the cause of moon face in some bodybuilders. Are their hormones messed up and it causes Cushing syndrome?
-
Matt have you ever been to a decent NPC show? (Like the Southern States" ) Any national qualifier? There are a bunch of " Ron's" running around backstage ...I like Ron but he has mediocre bodybuilding genetics (probably be the first one to tell you that himself)
-
Shopped photo as always
Shopped right? Puffier than a blowfish

Bhank harris..

I agree with you that Synthol looks worse, B. Hank.
But it was bodybuilding great and Mr. Olympia runner up Nasser El Sonbaty that said in an old episode of "Pro Bodybuilding Weekly" radio/podcast that Nasser said synthol is as common in the pro ranks as toothpaste. Then he amended his statement and said that Synthol was as popular as toilet paper! Lol!
Nasser himself obviously used Synthol...but IMO, it made his arms look much worse. I agree with you that Ron Harris' arms could look much worse with Synthol applied, but that doesn't stop many people from using it anyway, in an attempt to bring up a weakness.
The first picture is Nasser El Sonbaty presumably without Synthol, and the second photo was taken when he had been abusing Synthol for at least a couple/few years already.

What's up with his chest there? Looks lopsided.
-

Fluid retention most likely.

You want to pretend I inject oil into my arms fine by me you are just a skinny old guy who barely even lifts I have told my actual followers a million times that shit is retarded by all means go be a regard your arms already suck anyway

Synthnol has never made anyone’s arms look better it has killed a few people but by all means go shoot it into your arms

We can't all be winners in the genetic lottery...
Some are high IQ, some are mentally retarded, some are good singers, some are tone deaf, some are short, some are tall.
Genetic predisposition to put on muscle is highly genetic just like most traits...

Basically i just parotted what Mentzer said here but he put it better

From what I understand, Synthol is pretty common among pros, but we only see the extreme cases, where things go wrong.
I thought Synthol always produces that lumpy, misshapen look. But apparently, pros use it in lower quantities with success quite often.
B. Hank - it was Nasser El Sonbaty [AKA, Nasshole Oil Syntholbody] who made me question my views on Synthol.
If you want to see what Nasser had to say about Synthol, some information on that is found here:
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=184177.1750
Nasser El Sonbaty [RIP] with and without Synthol [IMO, Nasser looked way better without/before Synthol]:

He was just not among those 1% who put on muscle over muscle once enough food and drugs are used.

It used to be the only NPC drug tested pro qualifier, but at some point masters became untested.
Either way, it was the highest level of tested competition for the NPC and had some pretty strong physiques competing.
At some point I believe the TU and Masters Nationals became the "path of least resistance" to an IFBB pro card.

his triceps suck
harris is an eyerish name right? why's he look so fucking jooish ???
guess his dad nailed a jewess

Just Terrible - he most likely uses a cane to cross the street.
Groink shits all over him... it's the talent / genetics that set the stage for your efforts.
