Title: Oldie but goodie - Ronnie Coleman guest posing in 1992
Post by: MCWAY on March 25, 2025, 08:02:57 PM
This was shortly after he won his weight class at the 1991 IFBB Mr. Universe/World Amateur Bodybuilding Championships.

Who knew he'd be Mr. O one way and the monster that has been revered for nearly two decades?

Unfortunately, he never had hamstrings.
They were dry, but microscopic.
No calves either.

Look out. “Mr Dear Diary” aka LurkerNoMore, will post 110 times and complain about how the video is “blurry”.

It is obvious in the early years that he had the frame to carry a lot more mass.

His contemporaries vouched for him. He passed the drug test to end up on the USA delegation at the Universe.

And he wasn't exactly a shrimp before he started competing in bodybuilding.

I don't have to.  If you posted it.  We all KNOW it is blurry before even watching it.   But that's ok.  It helps us understand how you see the world through all those tears little bitch.

That first batch of creatine was pretty shitty based on Ronnie’s gyno.

Considering it's almost 35 years old, the video isn't that bad.

Indeed. When you're Mr. Universe and you place "16th" at the Olympia, you know a bit more "evolution" is needed.

No shit! When dieting as a natural you lose fat and muscle at the same rate. It sucks!

True, but this is why naturals should never try to get ripped. They mistakenly think they can diet like an enhanced bodybuilder and get the same results.
