  Ronnie wasn't that light in 2001. His problem was that he was actually too heavy.

[3Dkiller]

his gut got bigger during the years so he became heavier each year

Ronnie was at his "smallest" when he won his first Sandow in 98, at 248 lbs.  That's also when he probably looked his best.

[LuciusFox]

These are all pretty well correct except he faded to 245 by the night show in 2002.  He should have come in at 275 that year as he was in the BFTO 2002.  He would have dominated that lineup instead of having a harem scarem win.

   245 I knew he was depleted, but sheesh. I can't believe he looked that good before the show

[The True Adonis]

According to him, 255 lbs at the most for all of them.

[benchthis]

and he only gains one pound a year

Can Hulkster or someone come and confirm this is very wrong, that in fact these are pictures from 2003 and near his 287 lb shape of that year?!?!?!?!? That site totally doesn't have it's facts straight.

which pics are you referring to? The ones that matt posted? They are from the Battle for the Olympia 2002.

[Royalty]

Ronnie was 249lbs at the 1998 Olympia. He said that if Yates showed up that year that Yates would have won.

In 1999 Coleman weighed 260lbs and Yates conceded that Coleman set a new standard and looked like a cartoon character.
