At least he's still breathing at 54 years old. Many bodybuilders have expired by this stage (RIP Rich Piana). I get the impression that Ronnie believes that his training and whatever he did to his body was worth the outcome. Sacrifices have to be made.
Yea he said in another interview if he could do it all over again he wouldnt change anything, except lifting heavier on one of his squat or doing more reps forgot what he said exactly lmfao.
You actually can pretty freakin huge to medium weight slow with great form. Heavy builds strength up obviously but size is not restricted to heavy weights.
Ronnie ruled his era ,very humble guy . it's nice to listen to him after so many years .People talk about his injuries & all but he is the men without any regrets and lived for the game
You are so correct. I powerlifter for over 25 years starting in the 198 class and stopped in the 275 plus. I have had a biceps tear, right knee replacement, shoulder injuries. Every damn joint in my body hurts now at age 59. I lived powerlifting and at my job as a Firefighter-Paramedic it made lifting patients much easier. Now I'm not even motivated to walk down the street. It sucks. I tell my Step-Son that even the new Crossfit craze will damage you just as bad as heavy powerlifting.
Ronnie prepared for the day when he would go to surgery. He said himself that he worked in the police because from that profession he had the health assurance paid. So, he fulfilled his plan: he trained hard, he became the best bodybuilder ever on this planet and now he has the health problems he prepared for. This guy has the perfect life, God bless him.
Watching old videos of Ronnie work out with incredibly heavy weights, I never saw an ounce of fear or self doubt in his eyes and he never had to jump up and down or swear to get ready for a lift. Light Weight Baby!!
bro you think steroids is magic? cheater he says ahahahahah. mate people on roids cant even lift 1/4th what he did. otherwise everyone in your gym would be ronnie coleman
KENNETH; Go look into what Ronnie looked like natural and tell me YOU can get to that. Steroids do absolutely nothing unless you actually eat huge and work your ass off in the gym every day. You will not gain muscle weight taking steroids and sitting on your ass.
Kenneth Wilson go take all the steroids u want and I fuckin guarantee you you can't achieve half what he achieved. And how is that cheating when everybody takes steroids in that sport
Ronnie is not only the greatest Bodybuilder of all time, he’s also The most nicest and humblest guy period. His mentality is what I more aspire to have In my life. So inspirational. Love u Ronnie
Whenever you talk about the greatest in any particular sport you can't only look at achievements, you have to look at what they do or did for the sport. At least if you ask me. Ronnie always struck me as such a great person, very humble and seemingly down to earth. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the sport but I doubt I'd know as much as I do about it without Ronnie being there to promote it. Keep it up man!
Prince Ekeson That’s why guys look soft today. It’s because they are soft mentally! Ronnie was the best we will ever see. He was natural competing in his first few Olympia’s. It was Flex who turned him on to juice. Ronnie was a genetic freak. Check out the 1999 Grand Prix in England! He looks like something from another planet! Incredible!
Justified Militia a crippled one from using drugs. If this was football or baseball he be called a cheater. Bodybuilding is a joke. If you cant do it without gear you shouldnt be doing it. No one needs to be at 300 pounds of muscle. And he is paying price for it now
It will never be another Ronnie Coleman The king of BB. The man was willing to pay the price of being the greatest of all time. He just said the only thing I regret is not doing 4 more reps when I was squatting 800 lbs, so haters are going to hate. Before you criticize the man ask yourself what in the heck have you done and accomplish with your life? God Bless you Ronnie!
no to sound like a hater, but posing in your underwear in front of other men is not that great of an accomplishment (neither is fathering 8 children with different women)
Ronnie lived his life the way he dreamed he wanted to. From boyhood onwards, this was his dream. The injuries came with the territory of heavy lifting. It gave him the income to take care of himself now in retirement.
I listen to Big Ron anytime of the year, whether it’s the same questions, interviewer is bad and all, but his words always motivate me to keep going. Big Ron that is. His training videos, his speeches, his motivation to keep going. I’m out of work right now, hurt my back but this helps me to keep going, recover and stay strong. I hope he gets better and continues whoopin that irons’ ass Lightweight BABEEEEHHH
I have read somewhere that RC has a very unique gene (it is very rare) that prevents him from getting fat. I am not BSing. Sorry I can't give a reference, but it seems to be true.
Iron man nah he's not. You should see the pictures ppl post with him from meeting him in recent years, as recent as a few weeks ago. He can barely stand up.
You have to realize that Ronnie Coleman was FUCKING HUGE! He didn't put size on, he lost a lot of size, what you're looking at is a shrunken version of his former self. The reason Ronnie still looks muscular is that unlike other bodybuilders who stop lifting and get fat, Ronnie still goes to the gym every morning, DESPITE that he now has trouble walking without crutches. That's fucking dedication!
Ronnie Coleman was and is the greatest bodybuilder that should have gotten far more endorsements than many of those after him. His training ethics and dicipline wete empecable.
Ronnie Coleman knew what he will be going into. He went beyond the human body. That's because he became the best in Bodybuilding. He knew his body will take a toll later on his life. He is very fortunate to have a very strong heart. He is one of kind bodybuilder that could endure the type of training he did. Nice interview, a true gentlemen!
the day you meet this guy you honestly know at that moment you will never ever find another person as in love with bodybuilding as this man, you could simply mention the word and it would put a smile on his face, all in all he is easily the most likeable person in the history of the sport
I love all the shit talking in the comments. Ronnie didnt ruin bodybuilding...the judges did. If they DIDN'T keep judging Ronnie as king and chose someone with a more "streamline" physique, we wouldnt be where we are at. He did what the JUDGES wanted. Also...yea...hes crippled now...he also has the most Olympia wins and is a legend in his own right. He did what he did to be the best. Its no different from pro football quarterbacks who made sacrifices for wins and now suffer dementia and other problems that occur when you sacrifice entirely for your sport. Nobody will ever be on his level because nobody is willing to risk it
People should stop criticizing Ronnie Coleman for lifting heavy weights, there are people that get hip and knee replacements that have never lifted a weight in their life!
@@GrippingAndRipping your surname is most appropriate. He actually said he regrets not pushing harder, and knows he could've got 2 to 3 reps more on his infamous squat video. IMMORTALITY is the reward for his pain, but nobody will remember you.
@@paulblaser4146 Tongue my taint Pauly Boy. Ronnie Coleman is only human. He'll be remembered for a brief moment in time, as the person that paid the ultimate price for vanity.
Damn! I remember watching him train at Gold’s gym off of Little Road in Arlington Texas. He would train with Gus Carter And they would absolutely lift the entire house. Both of these guys are absolute beast! Much respect.
Bull fucking shit. Guy had gyno onstage too often. His chest was odd looking. Many looked better than him. He had great biceps...back and legs no doubt but Dorian Yates had better legs and back. Dorian's biceps were not that great. Coleman is a top 5....at best in top 3 all time. Olympian wins are handed out once winning several. Lee Haney also had better genetics than Coleman, as did Flex Wheeler. Ronnie should have not won 2 of those Olympias just as Arnold should not have won the 1980 Olympia.
Ronnie is the best of all time. There's no discussion about that. Put the best version of all the past Mr. Olympias on the same stage. 2003 Coleman destroys them all.
I don't like 2003. I accept the fact that he was an abomination never seen before. But his 99 looks is leaner, just as sharp and still as impressive. 99 Ronnie is good against anyone, he may only need his 03 form against the best version of Heath.
Nah. Phil is really crazy good. People tend to give him way less credit just due to the fact that he's a cocky asshole. Best years of Coleman would dominate him, but Phil is more consistent and he could top weaker-years Coleman.
Gábor Szabó what I said is right, and that is the fact that he would only, maybe, win against 2002 Ronnie. Phil is crazy good but that is not enough, we are talking about the best EVER. Who is the best aftet Ronnie, at their peaks? Jay, Phil, Flex and maybe Victor Martinez at their peaks.. None of them beats Ronnie.
Lots of haters, even more supporters, but Ronnie knew what he was sacrificing when he pushed his body beyond the limit to achieve probably the best *open* bodybuilding physique of all time. He left it all on the gym floor and he's the king.
People feel sorry for him due to surgeries. As of today Ronnie still lifts. Comp days are over but he can still hang w 95% in world. His net worth is over 15mil.
Ronnie's REAL legacy is his legacy as a man. Came from humble beginnings, worked SUPER hard and made sure he provided for his whole family. Takes responsibility for where he finds himself and doesn't play the victim. Gives the glory to God and to his family. All of this is even MORE impressive than his eight Mr Olympia titles. He's a man's man...
Yah God bless Mr Ronnie Coleman and his family, nuff respect to the man and I hope he keeps healthy in the holy name of the Most High. One Love always.......
Antyla CrossSection IT WAS you can only say what he is saying if it was worth it and for coleman it was of course right now he is probably in a lot of pain but it still was worth it for him at least, the man is not complaining about it because he wanted to do this and at that time you had to earn your spot and work like a horse that's why they looked so crazy. - If other people would end up like coleman because of their own behavior they would say if they could do it over they would do it different coleman is the GOAT, he is not complaining about nothing because he lived his dream idiot.
I remember seeing this guy about 20 years ago when I was a teen and getting flex mag and me and my friends want to all look like Ronnie Coleman! I wish this would have been longer!!!
Sheldon Cooper81 crippled cake it seems today. What you get for abusing cheating drugs. Did it to himself hope he is happy bout it. Cut 30 years off for nothing. Gear is cheating in every sport and should be same in bodybuilding
+Thomas C. Yeah he injured himself. And he Overdosed on growth hormones and steroids BUT the MAIN Reason for his Injuries is that You shouldnt Train like a 29 year old when you are 50.
I think besides his achievements in sports, the most inspirational thing is that he is paying the price now because of his actions in the past... and never even mentions it! Now that is character!
No one like Ronnie ever his really the best body builder ever and the purest and kindness and nicer man ever...even when you talk to him you can feel that...every time I see Ronnie I really feel sad...how much he change...but he will stay forever the king and the our legend...god bless him always...respect its even not enough word for this man ♥
He says people are scared to lift heavy incase they get injured. Well it’s true in your case so why would people follow your foot steps?. Absolute legend, but I think anyone would want longevity instead of operations
Ronnie is no doubt a legend and the man when it comes to modern bodybuilding. But not being able to tie your shoes or having a hard time getting up a flight of stairs is sad. Hate that he’s had a rough road ever since
Ronnie lived his vision. Did it his way. Always humble. Always a class act.
RoughToBeBuffTV lol he was never humble until now 😂 he is a class act though
Yes!! Very deserving very humble but amazingly talented and gifted!!
mykidsdad36 crazy gifted. I get caught in these UA-cam rabbit holes of watching his insane workouts.
RoughToBeBuffTV. Right
RoughToBeBuffTV and looked like a bloated mess ,ungainly...
Ronnie paid for what he did to his body. But i guarantee if he can go back he would do it the same way. No regrets. 8X Mr. Olympia his way.
Naw my man's said he regrets that he ain't go harder fam...ain't nun but fuckin ' respect for this man
gotta do what you got to do man
At least he's still breathing at 54 years old. Many bodybuilders have expired by this stage (RIP Rich Piana). I get the impression that Ronnie believes that his training and whatever he did to his body was worth the outcome. Sacrifices have to be made.
Yea he said in another interview if he could do it all over again he wouldnt change anything, except lifting heavier on one of his squat or doing more reps forgot what he said exactly lmfao.
Yeah said he wished he could have lifted heavier!!
when your body couldn't keep up with your will power
True
This is exactly what i feel about Coleman. It is a deep feeling that somehow our souls (some of us) are way beyond ahead of our bodies.
Good and respectful comment. There's some rare beasts out there like that.
Best comment on the post
Exactly that @me nature. His mental strength exceeded even his ridiculous physical strength.
"Errbody wanna be a body builder.. but don't nobody wanna lift no Heavy Ass Weight"
"I do it thou!!"
I only lift LIGHTWEIGHT
You actually can pretty freakin huge to medium weight slow with great form. Heavy builds strength up obviously but size is not restricted to heavy weights.
Lol i.can squat 350 easy and i know a guy he can do 600 easy
Cuz niggas wanna be able to walk in the future. Ronnie's body is fucked now
"Machines are not same as free weights..trust me"...love u ronnie!
When my girlfriend met Ronnie, she said his forearms were massive. She got me his signature.. She's a keeper
Underdog College Kid did he fist her?
Forearms are code word for dick
I'm sorry don't worry be happy 👍
You're a lucky man don't fuck it up!
she said baby arm, not forearm. She rode that veiny, black 13” pussy stretcher all afternoon

Machines and Free Weights are not the same. You are right about that Big Ron. Free weights workout your stabilizing muscles.
not the same but they both have their role
okay cool... for what does a bodybuilder need stabilizing muscles?
Paule they wofkout if they are stabilasing muscles bro ☝️😂
they dont have any visual effect... you definetly dont need them
Paule And no exercise physiology was used that day.
There's a plethora of studies that exemplify the benefits of free-weights.
Ronnie ruled his era ,very humble guy . it's nice to listen to him after so many years .People talk about his injuries & all but he is the men without any regrets and lived for the game
I remember watching videos of Ronnie in 2006. Made me cry how much he changed. Yeah buddy light weight baby 😐

He might have been naturally strong but he worked harder than everyone else. Truly a gift to bodybuilding

only Dorian trained like him
The closest, no doubt. But even him, was not equal.

So you know better about his body than he knows? Dont try to make assumptions
Farid Rottigni why’s he hurt then?
+Antyla He is not a whining little bitch,
I remember seeing this guy about 20 years ago when I was a teen and getting flex mag and me and my friends want to all look like Ronnie Coleman! I wish this would have been longer!!!
No one trained like Ronnie, and no one had multiple surgeries like Ronnie. Nuff said.
Basically there's risk and reward to it. Another way to look at it is an occupational hazard.
he is such a humble and shy person. Real Gentleman.
Still looking good after all the surgeries.....YEAH BUDDDDYYY
Ronnie is such a likable guy.
He is a very good example of a path to success.
2 words describe this man, class act.
Ranjit lol we have same name
The music during the end of the video was great. It really added the finishing touches to the video.
Ronnie is Ronnie no one will ever come close to him. Truly a living legend
jay cutler,and kali muscle is almost as strong as him
Respect. Then again, powerlifters and strongmen are a different kind of beast...
The most humble olympian of all time. #LightWeight
Ronnie is the Greatest of all times
I hate the Interviewer he knows nothing about Bodybuilding nor does he care, He just wants a piece of that Coleman Fame cake.
This guy is the creator of Generation Iron... literally his whole job revolves around bodybuilding he knows his shit
Ha1frican and Generation Iron 2 was shit so...
Sheldon Cooper81 crippled cake it seems today. What you get for abusing cheating drugs. Did it to himself hope he is happy bout it. Cut 30 years off for nothing. Gear is cheating in every sport and should be same in bodybuilding
+Thomas C.
Yeah he injured himself. And he Overdosed on growth hormones and steroids BUT the MAIN Reason for his Injuries is that You shouldnt Train like a 29 year old when you are 50.
+Mark Richardson
Whatever that means i guess its NOT a compliment. Never heard that word and english is not my MAIN language
Looking forward to your film release Champ👍
Always a class act.
Criticize Ronnie others should not. Big bodybuilder he is. Smash the critics he will😇
Rick James Yoda you are ?
Yes Alex yoda I am. Buff as Ronnie Coleman I am not
I think besides his achievements in sports, the most inspirational thing
is that he is paying the price now because of his actions in the
past... and never even mentions it! Now that is character!
No one like Ronnie ever his really the best body builder ever and the purest and kindness and nicer man ever...even when you talk to him you can feel that...every time I see Ronnie I really feel sad...how much he change...but he will stay forever the king and the our legend...god bless him always...respect its even not enough word for this man ♥
I like how he's so proud of those lifts as he speaks of it because he ought to. Total champ.
He says people are scared to lift heavy incase they get injured. Well it’s true in your case so why would people follow your foot steps?. Absolute legend, but I think anyone would want longevity instead of operations
samjg101 that's why u are not a champion. you get out of what u put in. that's life.......
He did what it took to WIN!!! PERIOD! Nothing but respect for this man.
Ronnie is no doubt a legend and the man when it comes to modern bodybuilding. But not being able to tie your shoes or having a hard time getting up a flight of stairs is sad. Hate that he’s had a rough road ever since
Interviews with Ronnie and Dorian are always awesome.
There's only one RONNIE COLEMAN...YEAHHH BUDDY!!!!
Just watched. Live your best life Ronnie. #GOAT
He looks a thousand times better than a year ago
Watching this guy is truly an inspiration!
God bless you my champion 🌹🌹🌹
What an absolute legend. Such a humble guy. He will always be the best ever
