Ronnie Coleman is over rated

[Hulkotron]

Did you add sugar and butter to the grits, or salt and pepper and butter. Makes it better---the sugar and butter, i mean.

I did add some butter I think.  Maybe I just suck at grits.

[Relentless]

Maybe you havn't figured it out yet.

 Mr. O is a business. They push the bodybuilders to the top who they think are marketable and fit the image of what the public wants. The freaks go to the top because that's what the public wants right now.

 This is also why foreigners never place highly in the O. It's always Americans. If pure freakishness was what it is all about then guys like Marcus Ruhl would be going much further. It's just politics and cash, nothing more nothing less.

 

It appears you dont know shit about pro bodybuilding.  Markus was a monster, but he's not in the same league as Ronnie Coleman. Ronnie was the biggest, most conditioned bodybuilder who actually possessed great aesthetics around 250 lbs.  Once he went over that, it was the freak zone...but Markus never got as dry as Ronnie and had missing bodyparts.

Ronnie is a really good bodybuilder, I can't deny that. But I am baffled at how he was able to dominate the sport like he did.

 Ronnie's midsection is infamously bloated. His symmetry is not that good in my eyes. His chest looks really big and overpowering compared to the rest of his body, and his physique just doesn't look very aesthetically pleasing. Even when ripped, his body has a fat look to it. Like a 2 or 3 year old baby, but with muscle instead of baby fat.

 Bodybuilding competitions are all about business and politics obviously. I do believe Cutler and Dexter J deserved their wins. But when Coleman was on his streak the sport must have been balls deep in some serious corruption.

I tried a "Coleman Breakfast" one time: big bowl of grits, egg whites, and cheese.  It was revolting.

I throw the entire egg in it and add butter.  Mmmmmm

I wouldn't put ronnie and fux in the same sentence..even if they did both have guts:

[fearANDloathing]

fail. the public has and wants nothing to do with bodybuilding.

50% of  "The public" is obese, eats shit food, doesn't exercise enough, watches too much TV and thinks American idol and reality shows are great.
Fuck the public!

These days bodybuilding is getting really popular. Along with the rising popularity of MMA in the past decade, bodybuilding has also gained a bigger audience. Most American teenagers these days seem to think bodybuilding is cool and they check it out online.

 Most dudes these days lift weights and most guys want to have muscle.... I don't know where you live, but in my travels i'm seeing bodybuilding and weightlifting gaining huge popularity in the USA. And in the Asian country i'm living now it's getting much more popular too.

This is very true, in fact the number one trending topic on twitter is the upcoming ASC.

I remember when Ken Shamrock introduced the strength coach to his Ultimate Fighters they were all excited to build beautiful, shapely, new muscle; its a know fact the more muscle you have the tougher you are ( dont forgot the added benefits of combining anabolics). Craig Titus once beat down a UFC fighter with no mma experience.

We all are bro we all are.......

BTW Ive heard many say Franks Zanes legs were to small be a Mr. O, but I personally feel they were much to large for his frame. A better winner would a been the aesthetic Mike Katz....


Timely topic btw....

Ronnie Coleman is the best bodybuilder to have ever lived. As of yet.

[Relentless]

I wish I was that over rated

It's amazing to see Dennis in his best ever condition, but still being owned by Ronnie. Ronnie was the freak of freaks - never to be seen again. 

[James Blunt]

So easily the best ever.

[~UN_$ung~]

NO bodybuilder in the history of planet earth has come close to the ronnie coleman in his prime (and im a racist who would rather a white bodybuilder be dominate)

but ronnie is SO far ahead of anyone else, its not even fair







....to claim anything otherwise means your not being objective

[powerbar]

Ronnie wasn't aesthetic.  He probably wouldn't have one Sandow if judges went with the most aesthetic.  He's got a lot of good bodyparts and then one that's always been a glaring flaw.  His midsection has been ugly even before he had a gut.  Ronnie did however have the market cornered on size with great conditioning.

Ronnie's midsection is infamously bloated. His symmetry is not that good in my eyes. His chest looks really big and overpowering compared to the rest of his body, and his physique just doesn't look very aesthetically pleasing.

That's not symmetry, you are describing proportion. I agree on the midsection but I've never heard his chest being overpowering, don't agree there.

[MCWAY]

i like ronnie, but he's one lazy sob judging by his videos.
lacks manners too, ok ronnie you dont like vegetables, there was this scene in a restaurant when he got some pieces of tomato in his rice, he diched all the pieces of tomato on the table , left it there for mitz to tape it.

Where do you get "lazy" from? The man does lunges OUTSIDE in 100+ degree weather. I'd hardly call that "lazy". Not to mention, the poundages he uses in his lift would CRIPPLE the average IFBB pro. I missed the memo where squatting 800+ lbs was "lazy".

I wouldn't put ronnie and fux in the same sentence..even if they did both have guts:

id of loved to see a comparison of fux and ronny from the 97 mr O, fux totaly smoked him

[MCWAY]

No, "totally smoked" would be what Ronnie did to Jean-Pierre, a year later. He WON THE OLYMPIA; whereas Fux barely cracked the top 10. In 1997, Fux placed 7th to Coleman's 9th.
