He claims to be natural there.

He claims to be natural there.

This is him in the 10th grade at high school he was not into bodybuilding at the time just casual lifting so its not impossible.

Wouldn't surprise me. Let's take in consideration how ridiculously huge he got at his peak later.

He claims he was natural up to 1995, already a Mr Olympia competitor, like that was the first time he discovered steroids.

You can tell a lot about gear usage when observing significant gains made after years of training. Look at Kuclo and the fact he was a teen bodybuilder fully gassed and how incremental his improvements have been. Compare that with a guy like Kai who was competing in Musclemania and natural shows for years and then BOOM, suddenly gains another 30lbs.

10th grade for Ronnie means he was 23 years old.

[TheShape.]

That's at his best in my opinion. Very symmetric build.

Ronnie never got much bigger in the late 90s, his conditioning and maturity improved. He took it to a new level from upping the growth hormone, hence the whole gh gut era.

[Hypertrophy]

About as perfect an upper body as is possible. Amazing.

[honest]

genetic freak, turned pro within 12 months of taking gear.

This is ronnie winning his pro card and later on in the olymipa I am sure gh did it

I'm referring to his weight gain post 2000. Are you saying gh does nothing?

[jude2]

I would say Ronnie and Kai had more muscle than guys on gear, before they got on. They are the 2 best genetic guys of today.

Ronnie doesn't even compete anymore so he doesn't have the best genetics today

. It made me think of the old "Give Rodney a chance joke" (www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSzkb_kvV2o).

Agreed. Dorian never had arms like that.

It's also possible he was already juicing at the time. Anything is possible...with the exception of Ronnie being natural in the first pic.   Just like Kai wasn't natural at the MM show or Kevin only training 16 weeks for the Olympia since the mid 90's. When these guys talk about how long it took them to turn pro you'll often hear bullshit like 3 years or so when in reality it's usually at least 6 or 7 years.

No its not possible in the early days ronnie had zero interest in bodybuilding the only reason he got into bodybuilding was because dobson the owner of metro flex made him an offer if he starts training for bodybuilding and enter a contest he would let him train at the gym for free, so he entered a contest later that year won it easily then after that he decided to pursue it.

Do you even know ronnie coleman history, he was never a bodybuilder or powerlifter he was a dude who lift to keep in shape, one of his fellow police officers who worked out at metroflex gym saw how freaky ronnie looked and introduced him to dobson who got him into powerlifting and bodybuilding, ronnie was already a freak even before he started juicing.

You could say that about every single person who lifts, no one is a bodybuilder or powerlifter from day one you moron.

There are millions of people who lift and take gear who dont class themselves as bodybuilders or powerlifters.
who the fuck would admit to being a bodybuilder......
