He was in his high 240's there. What's ridiculous is your 200 pounds claim, when 2.5 months before these pics were taken, he weighed 229 pounds in competition against Momo Benaziza. He was gaining weigh in the off-season, NOT losing 25 pounds.

Whats amazing is how much he progressed in the subsequent 3 yrs. Dont forget, if I'm not mistaken, NOC was his first pro show, he took 2nd, and his following show was the O, where he took 2nd to Haney!

But the late Momo, one of the last two to beat him, actually goes one better, by winning his pro card at his very first show, the World Champs. And, unfortunately, die to win his last trophy. Momo was great, pity gone too early, RIP.

Actually Figo, after having placed second to Momo at the NOC in 1990, he didn't go straight to the 1991 Mr. Olympia. You are forgetting that he took first place in 1991 at the NOC before the 1991 Mr. Olympia.

Actually his first show was the 1984 Mr. Birmingham Novice, he was around 180. you also obviously have never lifted a weight in your life, Hope this helps.

yes but how many can even come remotely close to a Ronnie in top shape?

I love Ronnie and all but his ass will be finished off this year.

Yeah, he was just shy of 250 in those 3 pics I posted and according to him, it was his largest weight up until that point. Little did he know that he would be competing 3 years later at a much higher bodyweight than his then largest OFF-season weight.
