Light Heavyweight
6. Ronald Coleman

was that the 8-time Mr O, or the natural ronnie?

[bigmikecox]

I used to see Caputo at local shows in Ohio when he was competing.  He was a fucking house.  Caputo, along with Dave Liberman were beasts.  I remember watching the 91 Nationals on ESPN (yes, bbing was once on ESPN...hell, they used to show the Jr. nationals).  Levrone was a house.  Hell, the Light-Heavy's were loaded too.  

[njflex]

each class there had 3 or more turn pro,and at least 3 names i saw passed away,shame.

[fathead]

LOL  He had the Gheri curl and was SHREDDED.  I really think he was natural.  He was small, but you could see he was not loaded when compared to the others in the top 5.  It was good to see matt Mendenhall compete in that show.  He could just never get over that hump.

smaller ronnie,caputo had one of the biggest chests going then.

His chest and traps were just bizzare looking. 

Man, I remember Parillo was HUGE back then.  He had that nasty Cap-Tri that gave you the shits.  I thinki EVERYBODY was trying to eat "10,000 calories a day".  That and his facia strecthing.  He ruined one of the nerves in Caputo's calves doing that shit.

newman was also a parillo boy...

[bigmikecox]

He was a little weird IMO.  He was a cocky prick too.  He was the head judge in Ohio for a few years.  Acted like his shit didn't stink.

parillo's top 50 workout secrets book is one of the best training books I've read, lots of great stuff in there....and bob chic is featured in it

I am still amazed Edgar Fletcher didn't turn pro, he always looked to be in incredible shape. Just shows how good the competition was back then
