Video shows why Ronnie is a crippled today

[Griffith]

his quads looked pretty much tore at the end. Tricep and biceps too and his lat. Maybe just retracted and strained really bad but not tore off. His body is just worn out from years of pounding heavy weights. Same as Branch is getting to. Same style training.

That was apparently from nerve damage.

The thing about lifting heavy is that once you start doing it, it becomes very difficult to go back to moderate or light weights. The thrill and adrenaline you get from hitting max numbers is totally unique when compared to just regular BB workouts.
If Ronnie had trained in the manner that Heath does, it's likely he would have quickly lost the motivation to train at all.

This video shows part of the reason he needed more surgery. Lifting too heavy with resulting terrible form.

And he was doing this after his hips were replaced, his cervical spine was fused and he had two lumbar surgeries.  He literally broke the metal screw in his back which led to the last redo.

No one has mentioned the partial rep "continual tension" bench press? It looked just like Sergio and Serge Nubret were benching.

Sergio apparently did that because of elbow pain, due to arthritis.

First I heard of that. Because in his training vid, he would do a complete rep at the end.
It's odd that both Sergio and Serge did the same style---and Serge I believe said that it helps keep the tension on the pecs----and both these guys have better legs than most guys today.

scott great post  ronnie by far the dumbest mr olympia ever

i remember billy carp who posted on here worked at metrx  when ronnie coleman was signed by them , he said ronnie was pretty dumb in person to

"ronnie was pretty dumb in person to". The word is too, no to. Oh the irony.

[Danimal77]

imagine in 10 years  ronnie will more than likely be wheel chair bund,  even worst now all his videos are the same him trying to lift

Even WORSE now, NOT even worst now. Geez and you call Ronnie dumb?

[240 is Back]

You can see him get shorter when he unracks 800lbs for squats.

all kidding aside, is there immediate spinal compression resulting in a height reduction, when a man puts 800 pounds on his back?

Lol, he looks like he's made of chocolate. Like those rabbits you buy on Easter. "Give the schmoe in your life a chocolate Ronnie. Limited time only at GNC....".

[Waller]

That video really is like an obituary to the Ronnie we knew.

5 plate rows? Fuck me....

I wasn't kidding.

In honor of Ronnie, I am doing shrugs (right now) with about 50% (365) of that stupid weight and it's heavy as fuck to me.

I did some shrugs recently for the first time in maybe 8 years and I thought 40kg per hand was fucking heavy.  :/

rocket that is pretty heavy bro,  especially for dumbell shrugs.

[rocket]

I had no idea.  I though I'd have to hold like 60+ kg

bwa ha ha

rocket here is true story

there used to be this older bro in my gym had a good build but this guy would go crazy training way to heavy

he used to load up the  smith machine and do 450  pound shrugs it was brutal to watch we kept telling him he was going to hurt himself.

guy was an asshole to.

well  he ended up  tearing his shoulder right out of the socket!    i think he was watching those coleman videos to much

Covert boner readjustment from Big Brian @ 3.02

No,that was an overt readjustment.I guarantee he used to suck off Ronnie hoping some size would wear off on him and black guys don't consider that gay.there f-ing animals, have no problem letting a white guy suck them off.N o straight man wears shorts like that since 1973.

He had arthritis in most of his joints later on, especially his knees.

Probably in part due to using lots of testosterone ethanate and winstrol.
