Ronnie Coleman - Question - Why supinate the grip?

[Bevo]

With all the painkillers he is probably on, do you really think he thinks about most anything?

I don’t know how he deals with it, he says his pain level is at a 11 from a scale of 1-10, that’s a lot of pain meds to be taking

His mentality got him in this predicament. Kinda like Meldrick Taylor after Chavez damn near killed him in that first fight and he kept fighting for years thinking he still had the skillset all the while sounding more and more like he has a mouthful of haribo gummies at all times. Or even entertainment, that idiot Paul Stanley had to have nodules repaired and instead of letting the surgery heal and following orders he went back on tour almost immediately and now he sounds like he chugged acid immediately before concerts and has for several years now. Delusions are powerful things.

His mentality got him to 8 Olympia wins
And one of the greatest physiques ever seen.

I didn’t notice to many slating him & knocking him when he was at the top of his game.
Everything is easier in hindsight.

And no I’m not condoning what he’s done to himself since his surgeries
For Ronnie that Mind set made him & also broke him.
Yes He may not be the brightest bulb in the box.

the true greatness of the man was he did not need bodybuilding for income.  He chose, instead, a career in Law Enforcement and bodybuilding came to him.

Whereas Rowden is our King today, Big Ron is our King of Kings. I believe he will reign forever.

More like flex wheeler and Kevin Levrone told him the secrets of different cocktails to take 

Like others have said, I bet if he trained like Phil he would have still won 8, and built the same physique, so that mentality of training the way he does is a myth

bwa ha ha great point bevo i get a kick how some of these morons actually think ronnie lifting heavy ass weights with shitty form led to him being a mr olympia, more like ronnie was a genetic freak, and couldnt win shit until he hooked up with chad nichols, it had nothing to do with his shitty ass workouts he was doing.

[Beefjake]

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

Point is to exert maximum amount of pover. During his heavy lifting Ronnie has found this to be his most effective starting point. His hips are more poverful than his thighs.
Bodybuilding was secondary here.
