Author Topic: Was Ronnie Coleman 5'11? (Read 4855 times)

many people say he was (met him) but many say he isn't, could they be lying about there height, so if ronnie is 5'9.5 - 5'10 or whatever does that make him more impressive since he is actually shorter with all the mass he had?

from some schmoe:

He is still a police officer, albeit a reserve police officer. He lives here in a suburb of Dallas called Arlington. Yes, I know where he lives but I respect him too much to go bothering the man. I've seen him a few times in the past and have even spoken to him a couple of those times. As far as his roid and HGH usage goes, I know a few people that train with both him and Branch Warren and the word is they are under a doctor's care. Dont know if that makes it legal but it makes it safer that most, I would guess.

As far as his size........... not to sound dramatic but pictures do not do him justice. You have to see the man in full life 3D to fully appreciate his mass. The amount of volume and space he takes up is simply mind boggling, and I'm not new to seeing bodybuilders in person. What makes it more astonishing is how short he is. My own brother is 5'11, the height Ronnie is supposed to be, and Im quite certain Ronnie is at least a couple of inches shorter.

Here's a cool story. A doctor friend of mine who works at Baylor Medical Center told me an interesting story about Ronnie that happened a couple of months ago. Now this doctor did not know who Ronnie was at the time until he came to my store and saw his pic on the BSN ad. I work at Vitamin Shoppe, you see. Seems Ronnie was on duty one night and he brought in some drunk guy for some odd reason. Right in front of everyone that guy called Ronnie a n***r. The doctor said he has never seen a man Ronnie's size and it floored him how quick Ronnie moved. Also said he's never seen a man so strong as Ronnie. Apparently Ronnie rushed the guy and lifted him up against the wall by the throat with one hand. And the guy was not a small guy either, from what the other doctors told me.

Ronnie is great. A true person, if memory serves. Extremely humble and a bit shy, if that makes any sense. Very soft spoken too.

I don't think he was 5'11 just because he wasn't that much taller than the other bodybuilders.

My friend is a legit 5'11 and 1/2 and he is pictured below with Ronnie.

Also, here is a thread which discusses Ronnie Coleman's height at length [no pun intended]:

He is around 5'10, only a little bit shorter than me.

What's the dude in the background staring at?

People's parents seem to start shrinking around 40, so I'd wager he used to be 5'11, but is slightly shorter now. He's taller than most of the other guys who compete.

False...Prior to winning the Mr. O he was billed at 5'10 after he was billed at 5'11. Same thing for Jay, who is 5'8 then billed at 5'9.

Kwon · « **Reply #18 on:** January 10, 2010, 03:16:33 PM »

Apparently you grow when you win the O.

he's actually listed in some of the early magazine I have well before he won the O as being 5'11"

I think he is 5'10 and 1/2.
