Ronnie has got a pinched nerve plain and simple. It is effecting his arm and leg size. Jay had the same problem about 3 years ago. This kind of injury takes a long time to come back from. A couple of years actually. Nerve regrowth is about a cm per month. The torn lat will mean little on stage if he ever decides to compete again. Chad make a big mistake trying to bring Ronnie in lighter. If you notice Ronnie at 260 last night was a smaller Ronnie at 260 from years ago. He was growing into himself back then as where now he was shrinking into a smaller version from past shows. Ronnie is one of the exceptions if not the only when it comes to coming in big. That is the only way he can win.
Funny how when they asked Ronnie about competing again he kinda laughed and said as far as what he does he loves it and that IT WAS EASY FOR HIM. Man, this guy loves to train and I think that is rare. Personally I hate to see a guy go out at he bottom not that he is any less of a bb. No one, not even Dennis Wolfe will ever match the "OVERALL" mass and complete physique that Ronnie had. I think that he has a couple of more years of competing if he wants and would win the AC pretty easy no matter who entered.
I was not impressed last might by anyone other than Dennis. I have no idea what the hell is happening to these guys. Everyone seems to be losing their quad sweep and overall leg size for that matter. They also are looking soft as hell. No one on the stage was shredded other than Dexter and he doesn't have the kind of mass that is needed to win the Olympia. Nothing personal, but Jay is a shell of what he used to be and was so soft I was shocked. I honestly would not have put him in he top 6. How the hell does silvio beat a guy like Gustavo. Silvio has big legs, but a very narrow back and shoulder width. Melvin Anthony while good needs to come in shredded for once. He would likely place in the top 3 or higher. Anyway, I was very disappointed this year. Hell ,I could maybe accept it if these guys were super huge and a little soft, but they seem to be losing size on top of getting softer. Rant over. 
more like ronnie got old, thats a bit more plain and simple!
