What everyones opinion on ronnies future?
Will next year be his last?
Is he already done?
Or will he make it 10 as he predicted?

Hulkster · « **Reply #1 on:** January 12, 2006, 04:11:27 PM »

why, as long as he wants, of course

I think he will break Haney's record and retire then.

He is too close to breaking it to stop now.

His age is starting to show in certain muscle groups, like his triceps.

I believe that next year will be his last.

How long will ronnie stay on top?

As long as he wants, or until Alti makes him switch up to Doggystyle.

Who can say?

I believe Ronnie can get 10. But if Jaw Gutler improves as much as he did from 04 ---> 05 he may just force Ronnie into retirement. Same way Haney had to go out. Gustavo put it best at the interview at the olympia, Ronnie is old and everyone else is hungry

as long as Weider and his buttmates lives.

420 Diesel · « **Reply #5 on:** January 12, 2006, 05:45:03 PM »

with his bodybuilding career supposedly being so financially lucrative, why would he stop any time soon?

until the fat white boyfriend gets bored

Well you can kinda see the years of heavy training taking their toll. At age 41, Ronnie's left vastus lateralis is slowly creeping upwards as his quad injury progresses year after year. His left triceps seemed to look a little funky at that guest posing after the 2005 Olympia; maybe it was just a temporary injury or whatever, who knows. Other people commented on Ronnie not being able to fully extend his left lat in his rear lat spread, although I failed to see what people were talking about from the pics.

SO... who knows how long his body is going to hold out. I think Coleman's Olympia dynasty is well-deserved but I have my doubts as to how long he can keep it up.

Personally I'd rather see him go out on top than get beat by some young upstart and end his career on a less than perfect note.

Til the judges see that torn-ass tricep.

His past two wins he didin't have staight firsts , and Jay actually beat him on the back double bicep and rear latspread , which are the two poses Ronnie owns , there is no doubt that he isn't anywhere near as good as he used to be , so perhaps he is losing ground to the younger guys .

according to who??

note that the loose skin in the lower back that plagues Jay is STILL there.

His back has certainly improved, but it was NOT better than ronnie's just yet.

Ronnie does have some unique looking calves doesnt he?

According to the judges scorecards , they commented on this in the lastest Flex , I thought it was odd as well , I don't think Jay has him in the back double bicep shot , maybe the rearlatspread .

Hulkster · « **Reply #13 on:** January 12, 2006, 06:41:35 PM »

I read that too in FLEX magazine. Flex is on crack.

Jay needs to lose the loose skin in the lower back before he will ever have a better back than Ronnie.

420 Diesel · « **Reply #14 on:** January 12, 2006, 06:50:23 PM »

i wonder who the strongest is between these two.

It wasn't Flex making the statement , it was them mearly reporting the judges tally , Jay has improved his back not doubts as well as his ham/glute tie-in , and Ronnie's back is no where near as sharp as it was in 98 , but I just don't picture Jay beating Ronnie in the B/D/B shot , maybe the rear latspread.

Ronnie is famous for his strength ~~in bed~~ in the gym.

ronnie will win it until he retires, but i agree with hulkster on the "certain muscle groups" thing. some, like his triceps, are getting flat

Jay arched his back too much, that explains the skin

Bear · « **Reply #24 on:** January 13, 2006, 05:39:47 AM »

Ronnie never has loose skin type issues in any pose. And he is obviously stronger than cutler, which I thought pretty much everyone was aware of. At least Cutler chooses to never lift as much because of his higher volume training.
