Ronnie Coleman is Back Weighing 285-lb.

[Matt]

Ronnie clearly Takes up a lot of Space & Time many Minds. 

I fear for his health. 

Didn't you place in the top of your class in the UK Championships? Why do some bodybuilders feel the need to go on way past their prime?

Seems to me that it's hard for some to cope with the body weight / size loss, and the resultant loss of identity.

I legitimately worry about Ronnie's health.

[Matt]

He's no where near 285lbs. Ronnie is the GOAT but he's got a history of saying flat out lies. He told Rogan his bf was in the negative numbers in his prime. Something stupid like that. Said he turned pro and competed for years natural. Now he's 285 again. Sure Ronnie

LMAO. Didn't Flex Wheeler claim he was measured at 0% body fat at Gold's Gym Venice?

Lou Ferrigno was in a radio interview where he claimed 1% body fat.

As for Ronnie competing "naturally", LOL: does that mean no insulin or GH? Steroids only? 

If so, then...maybe.

It's wild how the current era of pro bb has seen the ages of the competitors creeping into their 40's and even mid 40's. Being on the gas so hard at that age can't be good. The 90's era guys all turned pro in their mid 20's and then had 10yr careers before getting out.

I checked the Rogan interview. Ronnie said he was natural, no drugs, into his 30's. So that would mean in '94, even '95 he was natural. Thats not as bad as him telling Rogan he was .33% bf. Not 3.3 but .33 lol

[TheShape.]

Can’t wait to see him compete in the 2022 Olympia, I hear Arnold is making a comeback too.

[Pet shop boys]

Irrelevant, but yes he's worth enough to not care about much.

More than half of that wealth was earned absolutely milking it - last passable album was Steel Wheels 30+ years ago, deal with it. 

Mick Jagger , Keith Richards etc they all REALLY care about their health , they're pushing 80 but skinny and eating healthy.... sure they might sell the drugs and R& R image' but even on stage they drink nothing but water .

Not a single point of comparison with Ronnie or any bodybuilder past their prime


WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

LMAO.

Only if "natural" means anabolics only, and no peptides and other PED's. I could buy that Ronnie got to his size in 1994 or just after using only Test, etc. He is a genetic freak, after all.

Ronnie has the constitution of a horse, but as you said, competitors are dying pretty young.

I believe Ronnie's mom was only 70 when she died, around 2014.

I guess Ronnie loves it. Also, no doubt he has the constitution of a horse.

Classic Ronnie Coleman heart and boneheaded determination.

[Pet shop boys]

You can't see his legs he looks a lot heavier than 235 and he said most of the weight has come back in his legs

So you're buying in to his legs are back and he's now 285 lbs...


WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHH  Yip Yip

[Pet shop boys]

Classic Ronnie Coleman heart and boneheaded determination.

His heart must be the size of a THANKSGIVING TURKEY...... just like Rolley Wincla's


Wooshhh

[Matt]

I'd say its a bit of that & the hard part of letting go / kind of thinking / believing that your still as good
as you were - Like boxer carrying on to long , They still think their as good as when they were at
their best. " The Wolf on The Hill" to quote Arnold.

So you're buying in to his legs are back and he's now 285 lbs...


WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHH  Yip Yip

I am not saying he is stage ready but the man is certainly looking large obviously he is 57 years old

Just because he doesn't look like he can win the O this year doesn't mean he shouldn't train. Why should he give it up? He likes to train hell he loves it so fuck yes he should train it probably keeps him alive. Trying to be the best you can be is valid at any age. He doesn't have to be as good as he was to be great. The man went to hell and back for this shit put some respect on his name.

I thought it was all about how you look now?

Someone recently said that a few times on here but I can`t recall who it was 

[robcguns]

Big Ron looking large.

WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

You further proved my point without understanding it. 

[Lartinos]

He isn’t very big and is slowly becoming crippled.

He has the worst form when he lifts.

It is painful to watch him now pushing himself closer to death ED.

The Ronnie threads are always good ones, but I fear his years are numbered because I believe he is now a drug addict from the physical and mental pain and can never grow from his current state.

I hope a miracle happens for him and his family.

If only he had knee sleeves big Ronnie could absolutely squat 405 lbs right now if he wanted to. Yeah buddy!

He still looks good now hell he looks great now

Tell That To Ronnie.

Ronnie clearly Takes up a lot of Space & Time in Your Mind. 
I'm sure he appreciates it. 

I’ll see him next wk, I’ll be sure to tell him

[obsidian]

He's no where near 285lbs. Ronnie is the GOAT but he's got a history of saying flat out lies. He told Rogan his bf was in the negative numbers in his prime. Something stupid like that. Said he turned pro and competed for years natural. Now he's 285 again. Sure Ronnie

Agreed. 285 lbs sounds a bit high. If he was taller sure.

[obsidian]

LMAO. Didn't Flex Wheeler claim he was measured at 0% body fat at Gold's Gym Venice?

Well the bodyfat measurements do not lie, as during the commentary for the 93 Olympia , Jim Quinn stated that Flex had a skinfold measurement done at Golds and it was 0.0%, the lowest ever tested there.
