Ronnie - why doesn’t someone stage an intervention?

[gib]

Seriously. Loved ones. Sitting him down and telling him that’s it. Gym is over. He’s achieved all he can. And then get him into exercise such as water therapy, etc walking, light regular stretching etc.

Same with Dallas by the way. Why did not one single person insist and literally drag his ass to the doctor after his heart attack on stage. The most basic of tests would have revealed his issues with blood pressure, blocked arteries, massive heart enlargement, tumors etc. But yet not one single “friend” ever did so.

are his parents still alive?  his wife benefits financially from the continued vids and Instagram content, which generate product sales, so she isn't going to stop him.  who is really left?

The parents, loved ones prob encouraged a lot of it, especially when the son is “famous” and making a name for himself, certainly doesn’t help but I’ve seen this happen time and time again growing up playing sports where parents fully support what their kids are doing even if it’s extreme, to an extent there’s def nothing wrong with this but there’s def a limit where you take a step back

Maybe we should call on Big J Cutler to do it. Or some other person he might really respect that can speak for the bodybuilding community.

The only one who could do it is Brian Dobson, lol.

Meanwhile Jay Cutler is so much better shape health wise. Maybe volume is the way to go. Then again Yates said if the didn't take it to the limit he wouldn't have been Mr. Olympia.

[IroNat]

Coach is 5'6" and ballooned himself up to 250 taking his drugs and over-eating.

Why doesn't someone here stage an intervention for him?

Why doesn't his wife do something?

Same thing.  Coach even already had a cardiac event in the recent past.

Even so, he gained 50 pounds and continues on his plastic trophy quest.

Why do other members take all kinds of drugs to look muscular and then take other drugs to correct the problems caused by same?

And these people don't even compete.  It's just for ego.

Should we intervene for them?

It's insanity really.  They got a death wish.  

Go ahead and kill yourself.  It's a free country.

Intensity to build, volume to maintain 

[sway]

Pretty soon he’ll be confined to a wheelchair full time and won’t be able to train. He’s a complete idiot for doing all this to himself. Dont feel sorry for him at all.

False

He made his changes by altering his cycles, he admitted to this that Kevin and flex helped him, his training style didn’t change one bit since the 80’s

It’s clearly something wrong in the head with certain individuals

A “sport” with diminishing returns

It’s one thing to make millions on a real sport or win the Mr O title in bbing

It’s another to do something with absolutely nothing in return but because “it makes me feel good” is retarded beyond belief. They aren’t doing anything out of the ordinary that’s impressive or “living on the edge” like some might call it, more in the line of addicts and addictive personality than anything else

[TTfit]

Ronnie is much too simple to receive an intervention. And simple is a nice way of saying stupid.

You forgot to mention that he had a wicked case of the hiccups.

This. He knew the consequences and even as his body was failing he continued to push through because in his head "HE'S A WARRIOR ROAAAARRRR!!! 

Ronnie cares more about his image than his family.

most people don't care about other peoples problems until its too late, then they wish they could've said this or done that to help them

Sad but true, Earl.

There was an interview with Prince's sister where she said she wasn't sad that he died, but relieved.  That she had been waiting for him to die of an opiate overdose for two years prior to the actual time of his death, and that it brought her relief.  I suppose the anxiety of not knowing when it would happen was eating away at her.

This is probably true^ but Brian never would. They both come from the same mentality....

It's too late now anyway, he will continue to degenerate even if he starts to do all the right things, there is far to much damage. Maybe if he changed his lifestyle around 2013 when he could still walk okay, he could have had a more normal life.

I wish him the best and hope he improves, but we have all seen that he is destroying himself and that the reality is a wheelchair will be needed, most probably sooner rather than later.

Yes that’s my point.

I'm sure getting a piece of his estate had nothing to do with it.

Yeah she would've gotten a real nice chunk of change...

[Zero2Hero]

He could achieve better results training properly and more safe, it's mental issue.. I've been bigger and smaller, depending on circumstances, up to a level of head turning monster, down to a very lean athletic look when people would comment how "skinny" I've became (yeah, right) clothes on, and I couldnt care less, as long as I can go to the gym to perform my routine, bigger or smaller (and I love being bigger, no need to lie here), but feeling fit and healthy, is it so difficult? Probably... when all you have is your muscles to show off
 Speaking of "friends", don't overestimate that word. Many times friends are silently waiting for a downfall just to feel at least a little bit better about themselves, that's fucked up, but if you think that most people are able to rise above primitive instincts like that, you are most probably wrong..

I bet the HR department feels that way about that woman at work who stuck a fork up your ass!

Seriously. Loved ones. Sitting him down and telling him that’s it. Gym is over. He’s achieved all he can. And then get him into exercise such as water therapy, etc walking, light regular stretching etc.

He believes he is on his way back to the Mr. O stage soon, just a few more surgeries then he can really start putting that size back on.
