The man who gave everything for the sport - Ronnie documentary

[Explorerspl]

I’m a hospital nurse and 150mg per day Is a lot. We don’t give spine surgery patients that much. Max they can get is 10mg every 4 hours and IF they have a home routine they might add 20mg slow release x2 per day.

The side effects of oxy’s will mess you up. Opioid induced constipation happens after 1dose and the psychiatric effects will turn you into a zombie. We keep patients until they can have a bowel movement and we will have to go to crazy lengths to induce them

Sounds like tren Ace fear mongering lol

I was taking anywhere from 4-5 oxy 40s a day,plus however many percent 10s I could get my hand on, back in my druggie days.

Never had constipation or any other issues except for a real fucked up attitude whenever it wore off.

He was amazing.

He’s truly fugged up the remaining years of his life.

Amazing genetics for bodybuilding, yes, but he isn’t built to carry the weight he chemically-created or hoist the poundage he did.

His current health is proof.

Only he can say if it was all worth it.

Personally, I believe his outward suggestion he’s satisfied is baloney.

The man is a cripple living with near-endless pain. Lots of it.

i imagine it was incredible to win 8 olympias, but that is all a distant memory at this point

no amount of money, fame, or accomplishments is worth what he is going through now

Ronnie had the best front double of all time.

thanks in part to the greatest arms of all time: (overall anyway):

When I read that he regrets nothing except not doing 2 more reps, I have to accept that his traded several years of his life and health to attain a goal that a small percentage of the world will care about in 20 years. It's his life, there are people who destroy their health for a lot less. For me, I'm pretty focused on living a decent quality of life for as long as I can.

One thing I noticed about Ronnie is that you never saw him cheat on his diet, sure he ate bbq sauce, but that was pretty much the extent of it. You never seen him eating Icecream,  Burritos, Burger King,  chocolate bars, pancakes, nothing really.

That’s selfish on his behalf considering he has 12 kids he will be leaving behind if he dies soon

Well, Joe, it isn't worth my time to debate issues with you. For example, this business of using extremely heavy weights. Ronnie was squatting over 800 pounds for a couple of reps. Ditto for deadlifts.
He was demonstrating his strength using that much weight. Had he used 500 pounds for many sets of perhaps 10 to 15 reps he would have still triggered hypertrophy and perhaps saved his body from
crippling injuries. Heck, even 500 pounds is extreme.

AJ said that you don't need to use more than 400 pound in squats and deals

And he said that even 300 could be enough

And Serge Nubret said he could still build his chest with just 70 kg's, said he could make the weight 'feel' heavier.

It’s much less the crippled body and many times more the constant pain.

Constant pain will destroy any man.

In a few years no one will even care About him. I like him & his YIP YIP BUDDY Thing...LOL  but truth be told he will end up in a wheelchair & forgotten. How many years of fame verses his whole life Quality.

for you that never experienced chronic pain, it's extremely debilitating. Heavy weights are necessary in bodybuilding but there is a way to do it sanely and reach very good results (of course coupled with anabolics). I would not fuck with the current generation of opiates, not only because of addiction but also other sides like bowel cancer and so on...

Truth.

Generally, young people haven’t the foggiest notion of how life-destroying chronic pain can be.

Almost everyone ends up begging for mercy.

It’s a hell of its own special breed.

I've got a chronic lower back pain from years of wearing a police equipment belt both in the military and civilian. It's a common thing in that career. I would rate it about a 3 most times and a 5 occasionally.  Just that really takes a toll when standing for any length of time so I can't even imagine those with serious debilitating chronic pain. I know people who do have it and it's sad to see. For most rational people, I would assume if given the chance to go back in time and change things so that they wouldn't experience it, they would take it in a heartbeat. That's why Ronnie's attitude strikes me as odd.
