Title: Ronnie Coleman To Retire?
Post by: LuciusFox on June 19, 2006, 10:05:31 PM
 Ronnie Coleman's body language is suggesting that he might retire before the Olympia. He is walking around very casually and constantly has an expression of deep thought on his face; the kind of expression you see on a man who is thinking about his legacy and the future. I hope we get to see him one more time :-\

I honestly do think Coleman will bow out 2 weeks ahead of time if he's not there and call it a day.

    I hope he retires like Dorian, just before the contest. That was a very classy and exciting way to bow out.

Are you retarded?  I hope you're just saying he would have placed one higher and not thinking he would stand next to Jay and win?  Phil is awesome awesome awesome for the stage he's at in his career but no way he beats Jay.

If indeed he is indeed the annointed golden one, if the IFBB decides 2006 to be the year to enforce the gut mandate, if Jay comes in a little less than perfect, if Heath brings in some munzer conditioning... anything is possible.  If he is to be the one to turn around the IFBB's Dorian to Ronnie trend of big bellies, they might not deny him over a cutler or a gustavo.  Many industry ppl had him top 6 easily.

This is actually something I mentioned in January....
Dunno if any of it will come true, but I thought Ronnie might be done.

Here's an interesting thought for the day.

Ronnie Coleman may be calling it quits.  A few points:

Recent pics show Ronnie TORE A TRICEP in December.  Not many athletes can come back inside a year from an injury like this, much less a 40+ year old man on top of the sport.

Ronnie will be what, 42/43 years old for next year's Olympia?  Dickerson barely won it at age 44 in a far less competitive era.

Ronnie has nothing more to prove in the sport- 8 straight Olympias makes him #1.

Ronnie has used higher levels of GH/IGF/Insulin than any previous Mr O champion.  His head is clearly showing a growing skull plate on the front left side. 

From recent pics, Ronnie has not touched a weight, has not eaten much, and has not used anything more than maintenance HRT for the last 4 months.

Ronnie lost his LOCK upon the Olympia the minute the judges awarded Gustavo the challenge round at the 05 Olympia.  Gustavo is clearly waiting to be next.

Ronnie did an additional DVD, The Road to the Olympia, AFTER the Olympia.  He's never done this.  And he did it in Australia, alienating his American video contracts.

Ron is guest posing and doing signings like never before.   Every week. This WOULD be a good time to keep the retirement secret and earn a lot of money.

The magazines are covering Gustavo like he's the next champ.  Marketing students would say these resources are going in Gustavo's direction for a reason...

Perhaps Ronnie Coleman did the math after tearing a tricep and winning #8 and realized it's time to hang it up and retire a champion.  I know it's popular opinion to say that Ronnie will be king forever, but we all may want to step back and look at the facts and consider we may have seen the man onstage for the last time.


Now this was all before the Heath show and all, and Ronnie knows what his body needs to do to becomes mr O.  But then again, time waits for no man.
Title: Re: Ronnie Coleman To Retire?
Post by: Hugo Chavez on June 19, 2006, 11:52:28 PM
If indeed he is indeed the anointed golden one, if the IFBB decides 2006 to be the year to enforce the gut mandate, if Jay comes in a little less than perfect, if Heath brings in some mincer conditioning... anything is possible.  If he is to be the one to turn around the IFBB's Dorian to Ronnie trend of big bellies, they might not deny him over a cutler or a gustavo.  Many industry ppl had him top 6 easily.
::) I don't doubt Heath may be headed for an Olympia title, but you're again so far off it's pathetic.  If Heath came in and won this year I think more people walk away from Bodybuilding than are brough in by Heath's following.  He'll look tiny next to Jay.  In fact several competitors would have to be off for a Heath win and that's not happening.  If you're right it would have to be a preordained victory.

but the judges did not award gastavo the contest round - they awarded Ronnie the Mr. Olympia quite convincingly. It was a DIFFERENT panel of judges (old mr. olympias) for the challenge round.

Right.  A young, positive guy with a nice smile, winning the O in his rookie year with incredible lines, and capable of walking up stair without gassing, would do nothing but chase away fans.

This whole thread is utterly retarded. Retiring before the show? Why the hell would he be 320 lbs in June then? Go on Mayhem and look at the "Weekend with Ronnie" thread, there's a dozen pics from last weekend.

His tricep DOES look bad, and he is disgustingly huge, but he doesn't look like a man retired.

I agree with anyone who said this thread is retarded. First off, Ronnie will stay for as long as he wants...and Phil may be good on the colorado pro stage...BUT....stand him next to Ronnie, Dexter, Jay, etc....he is getting SMOKED. Not that he isn't good...he doesnt have the experience or stage presence to stand with those guys. Period.

Post by: pumpster on June 20, 2006, 07:08:23 AM
Pics taken a couple of days ago along with some comments:

Ronnie showed up in his hummer to pick us up to go eat. Ron is about 320 right now......freaky huge people. Seriously...... Went back to his house to watch the heat-mavs game and Gus Carter. Quincy taylor showed up as well. Metroflex was closed so he trained at ron's house. Tired from flying, so i'm gonna get some shud eye!! I won't have pics posted till sunday night. later

Today was a great day! lol. It was very very hot and humid, about 94. Ronnie did legs today. 6 plates a side for squats fpr 12 reps. Leg press for 21 plates per side for 13(he went damn deep too) then he did lunges, 2 sets 75 yards, then hamsrings. Got some good pics. Then we all went to a Rangers game, which was really fun.

As far as chad goes, I didn't talk to Ronnie about Chad much, but he said that he is going to see how his weight is right up till Chad and him see fit to change it up.

People don't understand that his calves are about 20 inches. I asked how big his quads are currently, and he said about 38 pumped.

When Yates retired, everyone thought Flex had a lock on the O.  Even Flex thought the Sandow was His by just showing up.  Remember when that huge elephant looking mass monster walked on stage and everyones jaw dropped, even Wheeler's?  Someone will walk out on stage, maby Badell, maby Jay, maby someone like Coleman, who barely made top 10 in his previous tries.  I hope for the sake of keeping the O the biggest show out their, someone comes in and drops jaws like some under ranked bodybuilder did 9 years ago.

I was thinking the same thing, especially with the tri injury. But if those are indeed recent pics he looks ready to rock and roll to me. left arm looks fine from what you can see of it. I stiil agree with 240 to a point that come mid september if things aren't coming together he just might call it a day. It just feels like it's time for a change, the "sport" is as stagnant as it has ever been. And as much as as I hate to say it, the PDI could be a factor. The IFBB might consider this to be a good year to shake things and bring the focus back to them.George Steinbrenner does this all the time. Whenever the Mets dominate the sports page he does something to bring attention back to the Yankees.

Thank you pumpster!  Take a look at his face.  He has the little thin beard line along his cheek.  Just started doing that within the last month or so.  Those pics are as recent as the ones with Monica... which were taken June 10th 2006.

GetBig is great at producting wagon jumpers.  Cant believe fools are talking about Phil winning the O.  He is trying to go 7-0 or 8-0, and he knows it wont happen at the O.  As GH15 said, he is out of the top 6 this yr.

Let us talk about who will be 2nd.

As Guy Grundy observed during this week's PBW - probably not realizing what a sad commentary it was - Ronnie doesn't have anything in his life besides being Mr. O. So he'll defend the title for as long as he's confident that the judges will continue to give him first place even when he doesn't deserve it.

Anyone want to bet on how long that will be?

Regardless of whether he retires or not, Coleman has given much to this sport.

From my perspective, the most important thing he has brought and will leave behind is an ability and willingness to work out at an incredible level of intensity with incredibly heavy weights. I will never forget the first time I saw the Unbelievable. I could not believe a man could be that strong looking the way he did.

He truly walks the walk and it will be a long time until we see another like him.

Levrone has been married since he was like 21 years old.....yes he did get divorced and re-marry his former wife....but he is a christian, and a supposed family man. take steroids out of the equation and I'd bet he would have 3-4 kids at this point of his life.

Whether this is reality or not, I am sure the pros are aware of their current status. Do you get something out of posting things like this? Coleman, healthy or not has given a lot to bbing and all you can point out the petty crap.

I did a natural show 7-8 yrs ago and placed 2nd.  BTW... that's my only show and happy to say so!  Let me get my spot on the show and talk about Ronnie's life outside of bbing.  See him in a lot of shots with Alti.  I guess she is a boring woman.  Who the f#3k is Gundy???   

If his blood work and yrly physicals are ok with his doc and he can continue to pocket $300K or whatever yrly, why complain?  ;)

Given Ronnie's professed worship of his sky-God Jeebus, he should train to Contemporary Christian Music that glorifies his savior rather than brutality and greed. Sure, the music sucks balls. But Jeebus said his followers would have to take up their Cross - so deal with it.

I think GG visits this board - so you could ask him yourself. But don't shoot the messenger - even if he has a comical accent. A 42 year old man whose mother cooks for him is a sad figure. And I don't think you would be so defensive about this if you didn't know that was true.

I agree that a 42 year old man that is still wrapped up 100% in a pursuit as juvenile and shallow as BBing does raise an eyebrow. On the flip side of that is he is getting PAID to do what he loves. Why stop until you are forced to?

I think GG visits this board - so you could ask him yourself. But don't shoot the messenger - even if he has a comical accent. A 42 year old man without a wife or children is a sad figure. And I don't think you would be so defensive about this if you didn't know that was true.

First off, Christian death metal doesn't suck balls. There's nothing like a cruchy tune with righteous lyrics - belive that.

Secondly, Guy Grundy is a synthol poster boy. Nobody takes what he says seriously and he only comes here to sell stuff.

Thirdly, Big Ron has a daughter who lives with him. I believe he has a son as well, but I'm not sure. Either way he has accomplished a great deal with his life and you along with Grundy need to show him the respect he deserves.

I agree that a 42 year old man that is still wrapped up 100% in a pursuit as juvenile and shallow as BBing does raise an eyebrow.
No, not at all if he's making good money and has a good lifestyle-pursue that until he's 50 if possible.

Most of it blows, and even the music that's ok...are you suggesting that he has to "move up" to Christian because of his age? hahahhahahahahhahahah

That's exactly what I said in the second half of my post that you didn't quote.

You should focus less on negative Ronnie posts and more positive thinking.   ::)  Who is Gundy again?  ???

No doubt. But I don't see it happening.

1. He's a law enforcement officer who routinely abuses illegal drugs.

2. Uses his connections with the police to violate noise ordinances with impunity despite his neighbors' repeated complaints. [So much for "love thy neighbor", eh?]

3. Publicly claims that his sky-God Jeebus, while letting thousands of children die of starvation every day, has taken the time to insure that he remains Mr. Olympia. [Though that would explain how he beat Dexter in an abs-and-thighs pose.]

If you expect anyone to respect such a person, you're as simple-minded as your hero.

If you care so much about starving kids, why don't you do something about it? God's not going to solve all our problems for us. We have the power to do His work. If even a few put in the effort, the world's injustice's would be solved. Too bad about free will - seems noone wants to use it for good.

Moral is: Get off your ass and do it yourself you lazy cnut

It's takes a very complex mind to master Pharmacy Science at the Ph.D./MBA level.  Thank you, sir!  Where did I call Ronnie my hero?  My foster mother and father are my heros.  Once again, let me thank you so much, sir!  Hope your life is so much better than the man.  Hope one day I can be just like you.  ::)

Actually... I thank God for allowing me not to think I'm above others.  Each person has a s##t load of bones in his or her closet... chump.  Sorry... I meant to say champ.  It's just you can hide them better on a message board with a username.

Are you the woman that e-mailed Dina and said she was a disgrace and ugly?

Huh?

I'm all man, Clyde. [Well, I have a penis anyway.] And I've never insulted a woman in connection with this board - in fact, I've called others to task for it. I've defended the female BBs from the adolescent crap they're subjected to here. I even said Dugdale's wife had a hot ass.

It ain't me, babe.

Ronnie Coleman's body language is suggesting that he might retire before the Olympia. He is walking around very casually and constantly has an expression of deep thought on his face; the kind of expression you see on a man who is thinking about his legacy and the future. I hope we get to see him one more time :-\

Actually, it's the kind of expression that wonders why Jay Cutler just wont accept the fact that HE WILL NEVER BEAT RONNIE! 

And what kind of strange psychoanalysis is this??  He's "walking around very casually" with "deep thought" and thus you can read his mind? 

I think you're a Jay Cutler fan, honestly.

OK, here is the thread where Insider X posted this about 6 months ago.  He posts damn accurate info, so I believe it has a good chance of happening.
