Author Topic: RONNIE COLEMAN (Read 3082 times)

Win or lose this year, there is absolutely no doubt that Ronnie Coleman is the greatest Mr Olympia of all times, physique wise. Ronnie took size and muscularity to a new level and has the best training video of all times (The Unbelievable). There's heaps of people here who mock his way of speaking and such, but Ronnie lives sensibly and has accomplished a lot more than most bodybuilders. And let's not forget he started from rock-bottom and steadily improved year after year until he won the Mr Olympia 8 times in a row, not to mention he worked full-time till his first couple of Olympias. I know this is turning gay, but Ronnie's going to stop competing and it's the end of an era in bodybuilding $:-\$

And I know I'm not the only one who is going to miss seeing Ronnie compete

Don't you think Ronnie ought to be appreciated given it's his swansong, Bluto?

I was hoping he would pull it off. It's over now. Next stop for him is trolling GetBig preaching jesus and shit. Game Over.

Yep. Contrary to what most morons here say, Ronnie was and is a great ambassador for the sport. No matter how much charity causes a guy is involved in or dresses up to act decent in public, bodybuilding is never going to be a mainstream attraction. And why the hell should it be?

And let's not forget Ronnie has done some incredible lifts that are inspiring to watch

The greatest Mr Olympia in your faces, bitches

seriously if Ronnie pulls it off.... I will break my 3 month sobriety and get absolutely fuckin smashed!

Brutal_1 · « **Reply #12 on:** September 29, 2007, 05:47:26 AM »

Completely agree....Ronnie was the GREATEST Mr O so far

He took this sport to a different level, became MR O while working FULL TIME and showed these other babies how to train like an animal in the gym.

He deserves everything he's achieved, and his photos from years past will ALWAYS be impressive!

It just sucks that he came back this year...

No other Bodybuilder (apart from Arnold) motivated me more than Ronnie... he is and always will be the best of the best.

i agree - the greatest mr o ever.

will go down as such too.

his 2003 mr o display was the peak of bodybuilding imho.

he will be missed

Archer77 · « **Reply #21 on:** September 29, 2007, 08:11:02 AM »

He isn't the greatest. Arnold or Lee are the greatest. he just so happened to come around during a period of incumbency for Mr. Olympia's. He should not have won the Sandow on at least three occasions.

as good he was he also did have some drastic flaws which in my opinion should never be seen on an MR Olympian (ie a huge bloated gut and virtually no calves)-----------as he's broken down these faults have only been accentuated

yes his condidtioning and muscularity were second to none but to get these he drove the BBIng mainstream like Dorian did to bloated gut and GH and insulin abuse

I would rather see a ripped and balanced shawn ray mr olympian or even a Dennis WOlf or GUnter like at the show of strength that one year, a Mr Olympian

thats only one white man's opinion though
