The compression socks are a nice touch.  He must have been wearing invisible ones when he competed because his calves never showed much size.

I like Ronnie, but he just needs to quit.  Or at least stop putting videos out of himself like this.  He looks like a microwaved Tootsie Roll.   I wonder how much he can actual use on those shoulder raises without swinging like he is in a crossfit class.  Looks like 20lb 'bells there.  Wonder if he could do 10lbs strictly.

It’s like he stopped developing emotionally at some point and his only coping mechanism is to hurt himself.

He seems like a lost cause at this point which is sad.

I think it is because his entire identity is wrapped up in the gym.  He is like the 30 year old redneck still reliving his high school football days. 

He can't separate himself from the past.

All of the past greats move on with life and completely modify their daily life.  Ronnie has nothing else it seems.

Either care for 13 kids or work out all day

Work out all day is the right answer

His calves were fine. Certainly better than another Mr. O., Dexter. They had size but just weren't ideally shaped and didn't match the rest of his alien physique.

This.

Been wondering the same thing.

Does he just love to train so much he can't leave it alone or his identity so tied to his muscles he isn't able to be without them? Maybe it's both but there are plenty of ways to get a workout that won't keep damaging your body.

He looks ... misshapen and wrecked.

I wish him well but also recognize the illness. It’s not like he’s even modified or re-focused the direction for his gym sessions. 

As I’ve said in the past, he is extremely one-dimensional with elemental knowledge.

This, coupled with a work ethic and relentless drug abuse/great response, made him a monster.

But he’s far from an advanced weight trainer, sophistication-wise. Coleman’s barbell education began and ended as 99.5 percent of the world’s gym-goers does.

And now the man is trashed.

But he is still tossing around dumbbells in poorly-chosen exercises.

He should not stop lifting, not at all. He stops that and he's soon dead. He needs all the physical stmulation he can get. Can't use any monster weights anymore anyway.

Of course he should keep training...

At this point who gives a shit anyways, he wants to lift so go for it.

He just had a Birthday, May 13th.  He's 57.  Happy Birthday.

I wonder if he gets a pump at all.  I've heard that it's difficult for older lifters.

I like Ronnie.  He seems like a good natured guy but for 57 he's a wreck

Compare him to Labrada who is a few years older
