Author Topic: Ronnie Coleman - Question - Why supinate the grip? (Read 9007 times)

If he has straps, why supinate the grip? Also the calves dont lean into the bar and his quads are at max extension and almost a flat back to start this pull

Dumbo Palumbo recently stated that anyone would trade places with Ronnie to achieve his accomplishments. Idiotic statement.

Jumboguts Palumbo is an intelligent dude, but yeah: he spouts off some really goofy, dumb things at times.

I wouldn't look to Ronnie for form. He fucked up his back from years of lifting wrong. I have too, but thank God not as bad as him. I did stop lifting weight for a year after my surgery though....

Shawn Ray stated it best his form was horrible it worked for him (because of the shitloads of drugs he took) but the atrocious form would ruin anyone's body long term and now Ronnie has to pay the piper!!!

HT/M79 who's a good example of great form that lifted insane weight and is in good health?

I don't think Ronnie's form was bad, I think drugs allowed him to go way beyond his physical limitations, like they do for everyone who uses them. Some people are built to withstand the wear and tear better as they are larger framed, like Bill Kasmaier.

Ronnie's body is a wreck because he never allowed it to recover once he damaged it. He is full tilt even today. And there in lies his problem.

Ronnie with "perfect" form would still be a mess today because Ronnie can not stay out of the gym.

denarii, you're absolutely right. I kept telling him about his form. He wouldn't listen. Now he isn't doing too well.

Talk to me about your surgery

Posted about it before. Laminectomy and discectomy on lower back. I was in the hospital for 2 days, couldn’t poop to save my life so I couldn’t go home. Recovery was a bitch. Didn’t fix too much. Ended up getting stem cells and decompression therapy. That has been working.
Mostly cause by being a maxing out dumbass with shitty form. Working out again for a while. I avoid anything that puts direct pressure on spine. I don’t max out. And I been working core and doing yoga, yes very beta.
