Ronnie's Arms HOLY SHIT

[Dr Dutch]

The key is Dorian admits to his aches and pains/injuries and stopped training like a crazy man. Ronnie could not let it go.  He even broke one of the screws from the second lumbar fusion requiring a third.

This is Dorian in March staying lean.

Pic with Robbie ?  Robbie is in way better shape than Ronnie. Plus about 20 yrs older...

Trains smart and keeps his weight down.

Exactly.
Ronnie did the right thing.

 “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

― Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967

Yes, I am sure that quote meant when youre 90. Not 52.

[SF1900]

Did you read this? Ronnie could not let it go.  He even broke one of the screws from the second lumbar fusion requiring a third. Ronnie is NOT a victim of circumstances , he's a victim of stupidity.

While I admire Ronnie for what he did, at some point, you just have to take it easy. You know his doctors are like, "You know, you now require a third screw because you broke one of the screws. Maybe its time to take it easy."

There is nothing wrong with Ronnie still training, but it is idiotic to still train like he does. I can't imagine any doctor telling him, "Sure, go balls to the wall with your training." I think its obvious he is not following doctors orders.

I hope he continues to recover.

Retired, 300+ pds with abs and 24'' arms, happy and healthy

as healthy as living in a radioactive city

[honest]

Mike Christian looking good and healthy there are those pics recent, great to see a lot of the guys still living the lifestyle once the sport is gone for them personally and still looking good, makes up for the many others who post bodybuilding don't even train, never understood that, I would never do something for 10-15 years unless i really loved it, I will train until the day I drop.

[pellius]

No your blind hero-worship of Ronnie and his actions is riding his coat tails , you sticking a needle in your ass in some vain attempt to be like Ronnie is riding his coat tails. You benefit personally from defending Ronnie because you think somehow you're kindred spirits in the " Iron Game " the last of a dying breed " Brothers in Iron " and us little people aren't built like you and the HARDCORE we don't have the intestinal fortitude to do what you guys do  You're a cliche and Ronnie is a cripple congrats you're in great company

Greatness is relative , you don't know what I've achieved was I the best at a chosen sport? No. And you're wrong , I don't celebrate mediocrity, I'm a huge fan of Lee Haney he accomplished the same as Ronnie and moved on with his life , Ronnie is getting surgery and still driving himself into the ground. Steve Reeves is another bodybuilder who I admire and celebrate , these gentlemen have earned respect and proven themselves to be exceptional humans. 

 

Oh the irony of this statement , says the believer in God stuck in the Bronze age with all of their myths and fears and prejudices. It was people like ME that advanced society while people like you repress it in the name of your imaginary sky father.

 

"Worship of Ronnie?" Imagine all the head shaking going on considering your obsession with both Dorian and Ronnie. I mean, you started this thread. How closely do you follow this guy. I've never started a thread or even brought up Ronnie in any of my posts. I just respond to comments.

"Worship"? LOL! You're such a moron with the mind of a child.   

Anyway, I just read the first sentence to realize it is just another of your meltdown rants you always have when someone disagrees with you. I see I really struck a nerve and hurt your feelings.

We can go back and forth about Ronnie forever but the fact is that Ronnie is by all accounts a very happy and upbeat man who achieved and lived his dream. Few in this world can say that, especially you, though not all are as bitter and angry as you are.

[pellius]

People that defend Ronnie act as though it was an absolute necessity that he train so heavy in order to succeed.  Not to mention defending Ronnie's nonsensical insistence of continuing on that path subsequent to retirement and in spite of his surgeries and health maladies.  It's supposed to be bodybuilding, remember?  His actions are the antithesis of bodybuilding and a sign of mental illness.  Lee Haney has 8 titles and I don't see him in a wheel chair.  In fact, no other Mr. Olympia is a mangled mess like Ronnie.  Take away Ronnie's opiates for a day and see if he regrets his decisions or not.  

Why does this bother you? Why do you care?

There's a big difference between defending the choices people make in life and defending their right to make those choices.

I think just aspiring to be a pro bodybuilder is a poor choice but Ronnie made it and was very successful at it and continues to do what he loves. Doing what you love and focusing solely on health are often not compatible. Ronnie likes to throw around big weights. He is not doing it to be healthy. I, well into my fifties, still like to roll on the mat and trade punches with guys half my age. I have paid, and continue to pay, the price. I'm always in some kind of pain. Still it's worth to me because that's what I love to do. We all are going to grow old, weak, frail and then die. Maybe sooner for me. Maybe you'll live to 90 and I'll live to 70. I'm OK with that.

Are you?

Awwww still mad I outed you as a pedo?  interesting choice of words too 

Ronnie is a broken man who still cannot walk unassisted , he's a shell of his former self and has no one but himself to blame. Ronnie is not a victim of anything other than stupidity.   

[NarcissisticDeity]

Why does this bother you? Why do you care?

Why does it bother YOU that it bothers him? Why do YOU care that he cares?

"Ain't nuttin' but a peanut" now accurately describes Ronnie's biceps.

You are a child because you actually start a post commenting on the size of another man's arms. He's not a competitive bber anymore and his arms are more developed than the vast majority of people out there -- including yours. Yet you obsess over it.

He's happy and you're not. Anyway you look at it you lose.

[pellius]

Why does it bother YOU that it bothers him? Why do YOU care that he cares? 

And that's how you read it? Again, you show yourself from years of posting on this board that you are simply not very educated, well read or intelligent. You are still a child with you meltdown and rants.

Boom We have a winner  Yeah Buddy Light weights now

Lets see your arms....

That's what I thought.

[pellius]

lol, go out and ask people on the street how many Olympias Ronnie Coleman won.
No one knows who he is outside the weird subculture that is bodybuilding.

Charles Manson was one of billions who acquired fame and notoriety.

Ask people who the Vice President of the US is? Ask who freed the slaves? Ask whose images are on Mount Rushmore? Ask who was the first man to land on the moon? Ask who developed that polio vaccine.


Whether you know them or not their place in history is secure in their chosen endeavors. Neither your's nor ND's are. It may not matter to you because you are dead. But that's the difference between the achievers and masses.

Some want to make a mark in life whereas most want to just skate through life.

I'm fine with both.

As far as your Manson example. Like most people, you have blurred the line between fame and infamy. Big difference.

[SF1900]

I do wonder what Ronnies doctors have told him regarding weight training,

I cannot think of any sane, logical reason for someone to be so excited and enthused about Ronnie's current condition, especially considering Ronnie himself has no regrets. But ND is not a sane logical person, note the Mayor of Bodybuildingesque amounts of bodybuilding photos saved on his hard drive.







I can think of only one reason for ND to be so bitter towards Ronnie...

There are a lot of "unique" characters on this board but he is one of the handful of truly weird and creepy ones. Just the amount of time he spends on the net collecting pics and focusing and obsessing over how other people live their lives is more than enough to classify him in the danger zone. I can only imagine what is on his hard drive let alone the thoughts that preoccupy his mind.

great post here

Yes we should all aspire to be like you , educated , well read and intelligent.  LMFAO fuck off pedobear this didn't end well for you the last time 

How long before your meltdown to the mods and rants about how you were just misunderstood?

[NarcissisticDeity]

I started a post about how the mighty have fallen and continue to fall. Everyone loves a trainwreck and Ronnie is a fucking trainwreck , same with Flex. I love butthurt fan-boys like you so salty because I'm giving my opinion on the Gossip & Opinions board on a bodybuilding message board. Dissenting opinions are allowed not just blind hero worship like you sheep.

Why do my words bother YOU so much? Think about that. Your reaction to my words speaks volumes about you.
