'96 was a great year for Ronnie, but it seemed like he stumbled in '97 Olympia. Conditioning was off, and his physique seemed topheavy, like he lost some leg mass.
To many contests , by the time the Olympia rolled around his body was spent.
I heard that during the last 2 weeks leading up to the show, he forgot to take his creatine within 15 minutes of finishing his workout.
It was well known that he was working with Chad at that time, and over did the cardio, messed up his sodium, mistimed his carbs, underestimated his calories, was on antibiotics, and came in a bit flat.
Didn't he start working with Chad in 98?
No fucking idea, was just trying to come up with every excuse I've heard for missing a peak.Forgot ninjas though.
He took it without grape juice
Why is this even a thread? Who cares why he wasn't in his best 'condition'? Seriously, the bodybuilding posts are probably the worst part of this forum except maybe the odd spam posting gimmick. It defies reason why anyone would care about why RC wasn't as ripped as usual in a bbing show that happened 21 years ago.
Just held too much water and didn't know what to do to get it.
I love how Nether Animal posts an actual bodybuilding-related post on a daily basis. It's funny how it sort of seems out of place. It's so wrong, yet so right.
