The Official End To ANY Ronnie Bashing...

[IceCold]

the title of number 1 Ronnie fan is not up for grabs.

Ronnie is still king, but I have to question his mentality of shooting for 300 pounds.

At this stage in the game, shooting for a number is meaningless.

He already has the size.

he needs to concentrate on the detail.

And, in my opinion, going for 300 pounds on stage is not the best way to do this.

I think most would agree.

this is not "Ronnie bashing" - after all, I am getbigs number one ronnie fan!

This is simply a fear that 2004 (where he was holding lots of water compared to 2003 and 2005) may happen all over again.
But, as Ronnie's most devoted patron, I want to see him win his 9th Olympia in amazing shape. Not just "barely getting by or "should have lost" like Dorian in 1997..

and given his past history of "bigger generally looks worse" 300 pounds may not be the best way to approach this.

I, unlike ND, can be realistic and fanatical at the same time

lets see ronnie prepare and try to compete with a torn triceps and with a hole in his stomach.  yates almost died that year and still came in and prepared not knowing he would win.  despite all his mishaps,  he still won in convincing fashion (check the score sheets).

If Ronnie comes in dry and tapered with no significant abdominal bloating, he should win.
However, as he is trying to be real heavy this year, if his midsection is out of control, he should not win.  The IFBB needs to stick to their mandates for all competitors!

Yip Yip

At one time Ronnie was the most muscular human ever to walk the planet,and no one can take that away. But now, he is getting OLD and should go away. The IFBB needs to stop handing the most prestigious title in the sport to people because of past accomplishments.

Cutler said Ronnie didnt have a tricep tear. He said that it was tendonitis. But i dont know . Looks like a tear to me. The medial head of his left tricep looks allmost non-existent now.

Maybe he just doesn't like to train the medial head of his left tricep.

Yates almost died for us bitches!...

[Captain Equipoise]

Yates almost died for us bitches!...

Only difference is Yates ISN'T a punk like tom prince.

As if Cutler, Ruhl, Gunter, Federov and Warren don't have that. Means nothing anymore considering all the weird lumps & bumps plus GH pots that they're allowing.

slow down buddy, i dont recall gyno on the aforementioned.

I am a fan of Ronnie's but it's pretty clear that something is going on with his triceps, especially the left one. A rear lat-spread, front and rear double bi's are not tricep poses and therefore hide this. When he hits a side triceps and a most muscular you can clearly see that his tri's are not what they used to be. Ronnie's triceps were never his best body part but they used to be good, I remember when he had clear striations in the side tricep pose. Something happened and from what it looks like this problem can't be fixed anytime soon.

As much as I would like to see Cutler topple Coleman, after seeing these pictures, Coleman is outrageously HUGE. I DO have to say that his left tricep looks flat. There IS something wrong with it. With all the talk &* the phot'os-he obviously injured it. JUST like YAtes did. It would seem only logical that after all those years of heavy training with mediocre form, this was bound to happen. COLEMANS biggest advantage all these years is that he never sustained any major injuries up to now.

His CHEST also looks small compared to what he is used to having. One of the largest chests ever. Maybe he hasnt been bench pressing heavy since he strained his tricep.  I don't know why he feels he has to lie about his injury. He seems to lie about alot of things. Thats why I want Cutler to "Take Him Out"

[dzulboy]

It's all over for him. He'll be eating donuts in a patrol car this time next year.

he got booted fromt hat job

     I'm glad Prince is healthy again.

Markus will be very happy.. Now he can beat Ronnie on side tricep pose
