Ronnie Coleman - Coming Back or should be?

[_bruce_]

Why? Because I defend one of the most successful bodybuilders of all time from a bunch of nobodies that have accomplished, and will accomplish, nothing in life sitting on their asses in front of their computer passing judgment on someone who will be remembered for generations to come while your memory will fade after one generation.

Whatever risks he takes he has on balance done very well and is far more accomplished, content, satisfied and happy than the naysayers who did nothing of note in life and will never know what it's like to get that feeling, even if it's fleeting, that you are the best in the world at what you have chosen to do.

Ah, I see where you're coming from.
Let me put it differently - I think people are not criticizing Ron or his accomplishments, but the way he treats himself after having peaked and used up his bodily resources. It's more of an issue of concern than spite... folks just wanna see Ron grey and happy.

[Natural Man]

Fixed.

Have you seen how most 50 year olds look with their shirt off?

most men in their 50s in the next generations will look very good, while having lifted naturally all their lives. There is no need to abuse steroids for decades to look good in your 50s anymore. It's pointless.

Im wondering if its not some kind of suicidal tendency from connie roleman to keep pushing the envelope so far knowing how damaged his health alrdy is. Maybe he wishes he could het an aneuvrism or cardiac arrest while squatting and die that way.
Anyway, acting like that while having tons of kids is not only irresponsible, it s just down right cynical.

[falco]

Why so many questions ? What are you, a psychologist lol ?

I never said he was going to compete. But Ronnie is a champion. He STILL HAS that champion mindset. You don't just lose it. I'm an ex football player. I have a certain mindset that still exists. Again, you just don't lose it. Certain things are ingrained in us. And for your information, Ronnie, whether he decides to go through with it or not one of these days, has mentioned getting back on stage quite a few times. That's out of HIS mouth. Not mine.

And he's lost muscle due to atrophy and age. I still stand by my gear comment.

What's with you lately ?? Holier than art thou all of a sudden lol

Hacked/bought account?

[dr.chimps]

About as delusional as Norma Desmond's return.

strong will die the weak will live, its the nature of things.

Lol I wonder

[Rami]

Looks like an old Egyptian scroll.

wtf lol

[thegamechanger]

the harder you lift, the shittier youll look.

[Hulkotron]

Ronnie has the constitution of a horse. 

Like when he grew a full head of hair in ~ 2005.

He will outlive us all, except maybe Markus.

[The_Iron_Disciple]

wtf lol

I think he meant " scribe " lol.

It's very informative and interesting the results of pushing everything to the limit. The aftermath we consistently see.

[Kenpo Machine]

Personally I would put Ron on a Starting strength routine for a good 3 months and bring his numbers up and build some mass. Then I would bring the lats back with a superset of dumbell rows and nautilus pullovers, followed by multiple sets of behind the back shrugs. In terms of diet: 500 grams of protein daily.

[Parker]

providing money isnt always taking care of them, guy has 13 kids (at last count), cant have time for all those.

If the mothers have a problem with it, then they would voice their concerns. Ronnie is doing what he knows. I believe his  father had multiple kids from different women.
I am not saying what Ronnie has done is right, but the women have some say in this. If they are ok with this, then that is what they accept---Ronnie not marrying them and being a father to the kids.

He shouldn't be doing anything above his head with the fusion in his neck. His lower back is likely being fused next and so rows are not a good idea either.

Classic gimmickry...

Hacked/bought account?

Who on earth would buy someone's GetBig account and why? If anybody wants to buy my account just LMK. I'll even throw in all my gimmicks.

Back to Coleman, I just sometimes get sick how you can never win at GetBig. If you swole like Ruhl or Strydom you're dead at 50 even some of these guys are already past 50. If you shrink you're also dying and letting yourself go.

Coleman is more successful and happier than the majority of this board. Certainly better off than those criticizing him. I don't believe for a second it's because they are concerned about him. I like Coleman but I don't give a nano second as to his health and state of affairs.

And he says he's going to compete? Sure. Just like Levrone. But at least Kevin can be credible.

If you didn't know that was Coleman and saw him in real life you would think that is some jacked up old nig.

And you think he ignores his kids. Maybe. Just like every dad from my generation trying to make a living and provide for his family.  When he got home from work (12 hr days) it was just dinner, newspaper and bed. There were seven kids in our family and my Dad ignored us all unless a whipping was prescribe by my mom. I didn't miss him.

Coleman could have been my dad and I wouldn't have known the difference except I probably would have gotten my own bike instead of sharing it with my brother and the four of us wouldn't have been crammed in one room. Although Ronnie would have probably forced me to sing in church. My dad gave me a pass on that one.

Ok Charles glass

[da_vinci]

He could be in a good shape withoud drugs imho. He's no R.Robinson or Gary Strydom, his body doesn't look fresh anymore, it's just not that case to keep it going like that.

[Pet shop boys]

That midsection looks like it hurts...too much insulin and GH 

Exactly ! He shouldn't be showing it. Don't mind the rest of body but stomach looks hideous.



Woooooshhhhhhh

[MAXX]

he should just give up his body is destroyed

doing legs with hip replacements and torn quads? great...
