This has to be a good exercise for the back/spine

Poor Ron, probably going to die in the gym...

joswift · « **Reply #2 on:** November 10, 2019, 09:15:56 AM »

fucking hell, spine rounded over, his low back should be flat on the pad....

Its amazing he didnt end up crippled earlier in his career.

It proves that form is pretty pointless when trying to gain muscle, if you dont care about long term damage that is

Doing that after so many back surgeries...?

If he lives long enough to equal his IQ it’ll be a miracle. 62 tops

Spine "ain't nuttin' but a peanut" brittle.
Its on like "not for long".

The guys is just ruining himself more with these "exercises".
That's like Flex going in next week and trying to crank out heavy donkey calf raises.

Not too bright.
Likeable guy Ronnie, just not sure what he's doing.
Should be focusing on real spine and back rehab, not jerky/rounded back leg presses.

It’s impossible to even feel sorry for him at this point. It’s all self inflicted and sad...

Will defy us all and live to 90.

Sad whats happened to both Ronnie and Flex.

One is losing pieces of his spine, one vertebra at a time and the other is downright losing limbs.

"1"

Most likely gave up on him and doesn’t care

I bet that's his highlight of the weekend ( going to the gym, Saturday night) and he's practically alone there..

Btw, for those of us who didn't sign him up for the 2019 Deadpool he is working his ass off to prove us wrong .

WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHH

Dude should be training light with very little rest,perfect form, and moderate to light poundages,

Nothing more to prove for Christs sake.

Wait, what? He always trained with "light weight, baby" hahaha

Griffith · « **Reply #22 on:** November 21, 2019, 10:53:33 PM »

Doctors have told him he has another herniated disc in his spine. All of them are now herniated, as well as his neck.

Will also have to have a part of his hip replacement changed.

Ronnie has poor genetics for longevity and reliability

He has especially poor genetics for knowing when to dial it back and allow his body to recover. As is the case with a lot of guys who get multiple injuries in succession, it all started with one injury that led to another, then another, then another, and so on.

When you injure yourself in a critical area like the lower back, you have to allow it to heal and then restart with light weights to train your body to work around it. When you go back into the gym right away and start lifting the same weights you were lifting before, the stress that would normally be put on the injured body part is offloaded onto other body parts that are not used to handling that kind of load, which causes those body parts to be injured in turn.
