Some Old-School Ronnie Coleman
« on: March 14, 2010, 06:48:34 PM »
Here's some footage from the 1994 Olympia (I didn't know he shaved his head that year. I have footage from the 1994 San Francisco Pro, where he still had a flat-top). He placed 15th that year.



This one's from 1995, where he tied for 10th.

Ronnie was once a powerlifter in the ADFPA, according to MuscleMag. I wonder if there's any footage of his lifting at his mid-90s size.

Very, very elegant start.

Big Ron, doing what, I believe, is either the butterfly or the Tootsie Roll.

Just when you thought you've seen it all.....

I think Levrone started out as a powerlifter who decided to try his hand at bodybuilding. He was competing in a PL comp when he noticed a BB comp next door and decided to give it a try. Apparently he won.  Wonder if that story was just Weider hype or had some truth to it.

Ronnie is most likely the worst poser among all the Mr Olympias

Well, the two routines I initially posted was before he won the title.

He got 15th in 1994.

I know. He had Diana Dennis coach him on his posing for the 96 Mr Olympia (and possibly for a few more contests afterwards), but it didn't really help him much, lol.

Look at his routine in the 2004 Mr Olympia - he was all out of sync with the routine he'd prepared ;D

Who was his coach in '94 and '95?

Not sure if he had any. Maybe Vicki Gates helped him out, cause they were together back then.

His posing was pretty bad (as the clips show) and I guess that's why he specifically recruited Diana Dennis for the 96 Olympia.

That's before he learned to jam his trunks into his asscrack. Kinda being a pricktease doing that booty shaking at the start without showing the glutes - judges don't like that shit.

After further review, I don't think that's actually the 1994 Olympia. I'm quite sure Coleman didn't shave his head that year. He still had his flattop.
