RONNIE back in the Influencer-Game !!

[affeman]

I didn't realize his injuries occurred after his Olympia wins.  Very poor judgement.

He mentioned in an interview that he never once thought about getting injured in the gym.

He actually had a disc prolapse quite early in his career, before he even was Mr. Olympia

[joswift]

I don't get it. Yates lifted heavy and tore muscles just like Ronnie but he is pretty injury free and healthy in retirement.  Did Ronnie's injuries come after 2006-2007, his late 2 Os?

I think most of his damage was done while he was high on opiates, which was probably most of his career
Doing damage and not feeling the pain isnt a good thing

[Humble Narcissist]

Times are different now than they used to be. I'd say: age gracefully, and behave accordingly, instead of trying to keep up with the newer generations at any cost

Next he's on "TIK TOK" I guess...

Haney showed bodybuilders how to age gracefully and have a normal life. Cute daughter.

[JackTheRipper]

A prime Ronnie would have tossed that annoying fucker right out of the gym as soon as he opened his mouth.

"A prime ronnie would have"..is past tense... now is he is a cripple this is present tense.

Sorry dude, that's Bill Duke

Agree. It’s pathetic to see a guy his age doing this sh1t. He’s like a teenager

I'll let Ronnie know how you feel, but he will ask, "Why is Kreator watching me act a fool of it's so disgusting to watch? He needs some standards in his life. YEAH BUDDY! BOOOOOO! Ask him what he thinks about that?"

Just son you know he will be asking why are you wasting your time watching him limp around training this twink?

[illuminati]

While we all have different opinions on what Ronnie should & shouldn't be Doing
In His life Quite Frankly WTF has it got to do with any of us ??
He always appears Happy & Smiling & Doing as he wants.

If Ronnie or anyone else was to look at each of our lives I'm sure we'd all find something to criticise / Disagree with.

He's Not hurting any one else - Just let him do as he pleases & enjoy himself
& Concern ourselves with our Own oh So Perfect Lives.

I didn’t watch the video. I’m already to busy watching other retarded sh1t

[Matt]

Christ - I almost passed out just reading that 

LOL.

So Ronnie has basically spent the past decade in an opiate stupor.

He seems happy. I just wanted him to be around for a lot longer. But hey - he's had a good life.

This was the best choice, I like that Ronnie is so nice that he would shoot these videos no matter who asked. It makes me sad because these nerds dont get who they're with.

[King Shizzo]

Loved him in Coming to America.



"1"

He could have played an excellent African dictator.

I think he had a major injury in his lower back from his college football days, never healed properly and another injury some time before his first Olympia. However all those injuries were nothing more than a couple herniated disks, what destroyed him according to him was that he fell victim to a fraudster doctor that he started oparating him, just for monetary gains, I think he had more than 10 surgeries, each cost six figures. He detailed the whole story in some podcasts, couple of years ago I think. Sad story

Exactly right on the timeline of Ronnie's back injuries. In 1996, he had some back trouble that seemed to have gotten better by 2000, which I think was when he reported it. In football, he had some other even less significant back issues.

But I had no idea about that fraudster doctor. If that story is true, WOW!

The doctor fucked up his back more and more with each surgery.  In one of tge surgeries I thi k he had some screws placed in his bones somewhere.  And the screws brokeoff in the bone causing the bone to fracture.  I don't remember where at but pretty sure it was high up in the back.

Each surgery was one clusterfuck worse than the last.

[MAXX]

The surgeries are crazy. Strange how he didnt go to a reputable doctor. And how these fraudsters are allowed to operate. But I dont think back is his only problem. For example both of his quads are torn.

Stop blaming doctors for his stupidity. Listen going back into the gym lifting shit loads of weight with screws in your back is just plain dumb.
Stop writing your nonsense..
I get it Ronnie is your idol but please be honest about his actions.

[JackTheRipper]

He actually had an analprolapse quite early in his career, before he even was Mr. Olympia

Painful those

Exactly. I guess it's a safety mechanism for your own mental health to blame others for your plight instead of your own irresponsible actions. Sure, it must have been a greedy doctor who f*cked him up, not training like that for decades lol

prolapsed discs dont get better, they only get worse or if your careful they stay the same

This can happen too. 
[Herniated discs may also exhibit calcification [2], and calcified discs may adhere to the epidural membrane, complicating surgical treatment and introducing a high risk of cerebral spinal fluid leakage [3]. Calcification of degenerative discs mainly resides in the herniated portion of the disc near the spinal canal.]

Great job of Googling Dr. FUCKFACE. 

[BB]

Is he on anyones dead pool list?

I’m guessing once he hits mid 50s he should using a fully motorized scooter to move around.

I'm imagining Ronnie pitching those Rascal scooters they used to sell on late night tv -

"Hi, I'm Ronnie Coleman, 8x Mr. Olympia, but around Metroflex they call me Rascal Ronnie. I thought mobility scooters were just for the elderly and cripples as we call them here in Texas, but then I thought of all the Arnold Classics, Mr. Olympias, and parties with friends I was missing because of joint pain, and I got me one. It's lighter than a peanut and easy maneuver around the shows and the squat rack.

I guess you could say I'ma little rascal on my little Rascal."

My point for making the zyzz thread was he ushered in the era of Instagram bodybuilding and aesthetics.  He was more influential than many on here believe.

1000%

a skinny dork turning himself into a pussy pulling rockstar through trenbolone and clenbuterol is legendary stuff.  he embodied the goals of eevry kid who picks up a dumbell to get more goals

agreed.  the doctor may well be to blame but taking Ronnie's word for it is ill advised
