ronnie's a bodybuilder everyone has to respect. gigantic beyond all reason, and as strong as he looked. both the most impressive stage appearances and the craziest workout footage.
most bodybuilders get laughed at by powerlifters and strength athletes because, by and large, they train like pussballs (sorry milos, i'm sure your shit works great, but c'mon). then there's ronnie, doing his 500+ front squats, benching 200 pound dumbbells for 12 and doing so much on the t-bar the handle breaks.
shame he fucked it all up at the end of his career, though.
