Unbelieveable the amount of size that scrawny guy was able to put on his small frame later in his career.

Holy shit, I don't even wanna imagine the amount of drugs this guy was putting into his system for the 2003 prep, that contest prep must've been literally Russian roulette with a 50:50 chance of survival.

"Scrawny?"

Are you looking at a different picture than me? The before picture of Ronnie would be a lifetime achievement for all but the most accomplished Getbiggers.

Replying to the guy who has Heath as the greatest ever. Might as well find a time machine and try to convert Hitler to Judaism.

Ronnie had classic bodybuilding genetics, an ecto/meso mix with wide shoulders, small hips, small joints and unusually large muscle bellies. His excessive drug use allowed him to use poundages better suited to someone with powerlifting genetics, an endo/meso mix, thick from top to bottom, with a wide hip structure and big joints, like Kaz.

Morphine is a helluva drug.

Unless I've mis-read the definitions, there's nothing ecto at all about Ronnie Coleman.

There are quite some PL'ers with small bone structure. Mike O'hearn for ex. is a classic ecto, but is strong as hell. And Ronnie was quite narrow before bb'ing, that makes it even more impressive.

He actually has small bones, just people forgot/have not seen his earlier pics:

That might be small boned for pro BB standards, but let's not mistake that for being an ecto frame.

Thin Lizzy · « **Reply #60 on:** July 25, 2015, 07:28:32 AM »

The term I used was ecto/meso:

Note the waist and hip structure:

His shoulders were not naturally wide tho'. Dude has made a huge transformation.

That's an accurate discription. And very rarely are people one type. The overwhelming majority of people are a combination of the bodytypes.

Ronnie does have a lighter frame , narrow waist & hips , small joints , etc ,

i bet at least one nurse got pregnant during his stay in the hospital

That happened when Arnold came to visit big Ronnie and saw a Hispanic nurse in the room .

I echo that sentiment .
Ron will go down as one of the greatest bodybuilders in history.
This happens to plenty of former NFL players, so he's not alone.
He has NOTHING left to prove and needs to gracefully move on to the next phase of his life.

This is huge wake up call for regular lifting slobs like me !
After seeing these pics and hearing about the pain Ronnie endured, I'm 100% jarred into a totally new fitness direction:
1. Eat less food and drop wt
2. Lift with mostly machines , use higher reps and slow ,strict form.
3. Regular bouts of low impact cardio ( incline treadmill, trail hikes, stair climber , etc)

Actually, I think that will injure you worse. Just lower your weights...
Drop fat? Uh... Yeah man, I think it's time, lol!

LOL @ Ronnie. Already dreaming of doing the very activity that ruined him.

You would think he would just go near clean and give his body a break, but the guy is an addict. He can't stop. All the pain meds will kill him in short time.

I can't believe idiots on here call Phil narrow. Look at those (lack of) clavicles goddammit, Phil looks like Ruhl compared to that

My current physique does have some unique advantages.
I have enough fat stores to live without food for months should the zombie apocalypse occur.
Just sayin'

Ronnie isn't as narrow as Phil.

Good pts. Ruhl is a full 1.8 Heath's wide while Ronnie is only 1.7.

But is he wider than Heath?

I want to examine this question thoroughly, but looking at Ronnie in every stage of his life from childhood to his pursuits in academia as a drug free bodybuilder to the greatest champion of a generation to his Olympia downfall to having a broken, battered and shipwrecked physique.

Was he wider than Heath in each era?

Assuming this is scaled correctly...... It's easy to forget how dominant Big Ron was!

It poses the age old question of who's better Dorian or Ronnie?
