Title: What happened to Ronnie between 1997 and 1998?
Post by: Danimal77 on April 21, 2016, 08:58:14 PM
I still can't put my finger on what changed for him? I know he had been steadily improving up until 1994 and then from 1995 through 1997 he was starting to be taken more seriously. NOW, wtf happened between 1997 and 1998? People thought he would rock the boat with Yates out, but no one expected him to come in looking like THAT in 1998 (even if he had gyno). What exactly contributed to the drastic metamorphosis from 1997 to 1998? It's as if he had just hit puberty at 34 years old and it was lights out.

1996 (this was the year that his quads really started getting freaky along with his arms and chest growing)

1997 (he was heavier in 1997 than 1996, but he was smoother and held more water than his 1996 form, hence the lower placing).

Chad Nichols put him on the gas full throttle and more! Probably 40 iu's of gh a day along with massive amounts of other anabolics/androgenics!

Only explanation is Chad and the dosages were upped tremendously esp GH and insulin

Also flex was supposedly giving him tips on drug usage and dosages around 97/98

I believe he was on Cell-tech up to 1997. In 1998 he started using the BSN brand. He just mutated.

'97 wasn't that far off his perceived "best" at all. The true transformation happened some time before that.

gyno kicking in 1997, so the drug use must have really increased or he was using something that gave him gyne. he was totally void of gyno before that

He switched from regular creatine to micronized creatine, and reaped the benefits of better creatine uptake into the cell for a superior volumizing effect, giving his muscles that fuller look enabling him to take the Mr Olympia title for the first time.


lol

Serious answer, in 1997 he was very good, he just held water. Go watch the BFTO he is the first one up in 1997 he looks ridiculous.

He won the last GP show that year when Kevin got him to drink some Vodka and it flushed the water out, when Kevin was winning them all.

1998 he got a bit bigger again and came in in condition that was insane.

Truth. That was the big reveal that year with the prep gurus.

A few months ago, somebody here said the key to gaining pro level mass was to load a syringe with micronized creatine and to inject it direct into the penis. The penis will subsequently start producing abnormally large amounts of testosterone. I think that testosterone would then travel to the prostate where huge amounts of HGH secretions would be triggered. Then the testicles would seriously ramp up IGF-1 production.

In all these pics, Ronnie also had a normal looking face as well. Just like Phil did before he sized up.

"Change the game for these hoes, change the game like we supposed"
This. When I lived in Missouri I'd see Chad around here and there and he told me that the biggest difference w/ Coleman wasn't so much the GH it was keeping him consistent the entire prep. I remember Chad sort of groaning about how he needs to call Coleman up to 10 times a day to make sure he was on track because Coleman would just sort of "not feel like training" for a week or he wouldn't do any cardio or even remotely stay on a diet. Chad had to tell him to "TRY" to eat as clean as he could throughout the day because he knew Coleman would never follow any prescribed diet.

Also when Coleman was at his best he was keeping his relatives and family a little more distant because Chad said they'd milk him for money and resource all the time. So it wasnt so much drugs it was more keeping him motivated and in the gym. GH and tren were Colemans staples. He wasnt very disciplined he wouldnt take his injections or literally he would forget about him Chad almost hated dealing with him. His superior genetics carried him a long way but Coleman was a child who needed babysitting.

I agree, that pic impressed the fuck out of me. Anyone know what competition that was from? He was only weighing 230-235 in 1995, but he looks huge (with a small waist) there.

I don't know about this but I saw Ronnie around a lot during 2003-2005 and he looked pretty disciplined to me, don't know much behind what u said
