Ronnie is truly the king with outrageous muscle. He is unmatched. It’s just such a pity about his midsection, it completely destroys his look in so many shots, esp later in his career.
No Ronnie has a huge butt Zero calves Phil Heath is the aesthetic version of Ronnie Have you ever seen the prejudging video for the 2010 Arnold Classic ? Ronnie NEVER looked that good !!! Ronnie couldn’t carry Phils gym bag Phil 2010 - 2013 is just perfection basically He should already be an 8 time Mr. Olympia He was better than Jay in 2010
Gunther messed up after the GNC by firing his coach because it was also Ronnie's coach and he thought he was sabotaging his prep so his other client (Ronnie Coleman) would have no problem winning.
Nikola Slavov he’s big, but not shredded. Yeah he was shredded in 2002 night if champions but not in the Olympia, and we all know the Olympia gives the standout to the most complete, biggest and shredded bodybuilder
He looked best at the GNC show. Was flat at 2002 Olympia but still looked great. He lost at O but edged Coleman at the GNC with a condition he never could repeat again. That just happens....
Never heard of Gunther before this video. He really does deserve more recognition for a physique like that, Im sure he'd have been in the hall of legends if he won an olympia
*_I KNOW PEOPLE ON THIS CHANNEL AND ELSEWHERE GO CRAZY FOR KAI GREENE, BUT THE GREATEST "PEOPLE'S CHAMP" IN BODYBUILDING WAS GUNTER SCHLIERKAMP, WITHOUT QUESTION._* *_HE WAS BIGGER THAN RONNIE AND BEAT HIM ON STAGE WHILE HE WAS THE REIGNING OLYMPIA CHAMP._*
When I was following bodybuilding Ronnie always placed in the lower part of the top six. I drifted away from the sport, got interested 15-20 years later to find out he became one of the best ever. I was very surprised.
I'm glad you brought some more attention to Gunther. His heartfelt speech to the enamoured crowd after he took an outrageous 5th at the 2002 Mr Olympia solidifies him as a graceful and deserving champion in my book, he deserves more notoriety and respect.
Mr Olympia you only get it if you're American citizen , other wise you'll stuck to 2nd position smh look at big ramy he never get it because he's Egyptian. That's sad.
Bodybuilding is in reality a freak level beauty pageant. It isn’t a sport in a direkt sense, while the preparation in the gym is, ironically the actual “competing” on stage isn’t.
Its from the back Ronnie takes them all, hes got 'fat muscle' his lats literally hang off his torso when relaxed. And in a pose its his superior structure, tie ins, limb length, muscle bellies, along with amazing condition that makes all the difference.
I’m not a judge but when Gunter is next to King Coleman you can notice something he is missing but Ronnie had it. That something is easily noticed by judges. That’s why he couldn’t beat Ronnie. From the perspective or eyes of ordinary people , Gunter is certainly the winner.
4.53.. Wow..thats the difference... Gunther looked perfect cut.. conditioning, posing, confidence, muscularity... I guess, Ronnie had superiority over him on back lat spread though
@@theobecquet8477 let me dumb it down. Paul was looking extremely massive and AS A JOKE, I said if Ronnie were to hop on gear (JOKINGLY IMPLYING HES NATTY) that he would be as big as Paul.
Total agree with you . I m glad someone who take step and explore this guys . They should appreciate like Ronnie . I m Ronnie Coleman fan . But being honest bodybuilding fan . I love to appreciate real bodybuilding
In a way, we should thank Gunter for beating Ronnie at this 2002 contest because that likely led to Ronnie Coleman showing up to the 2003 Mr. Olympia other -worldly. Ronnie must of had so many crazyyyyyy workouts statue cost of his redemption!
One of your better videos. Zero bias. Pure bodybuilding. And alot about alot that most don't know. The body building world is or was quite large. Itd be cool if your did more about grand prixs. Maybe an anthology or documenting the greats of that. Alot of people. Don't know grand prixs were a pinnacle aside from the olympia that was held in just as high if not higher a regard in the rest of the world in general outside American bodybuilding.
Even if Ronnie Coleman competed naturally he would have beat today's most classic physique bodybuilders . His genetics are way to better than average person .
I met Günter at the Ufc Torrance a few times a couple of years ago. He still looks massive and he is also very friendly. Common sense just don’t bother them while they are working out.
Thanks for taking a comment I made, to heart. I posted on the video about bulking in the off season about Paul Dillett, and you addressed him here. I'm sure it's just a coincidence but I appreciate it nonetheless ☺️
This is false. The judges literally told Ronnie to “lose” weight because he was too MASSIVE for the runner ups, he had no competition. Ronnie Coleman is the king of open class, greatest to ever do it. I can’t even imagine how big he could’ve gotten if he went all out in size.

Good ole masterpieces!!
You win the internet for today.

Ronnie is truly the king with outrageous muscle. He is unmatched. It’s just such a pity about his midsection, it completely destroys his look in so many shots, esp later in his career.
With outrageous gut*
As this video shows Ronnie ist definitely NOT unmatched. However the IFBB loves legacies.
Wildan i agree
No
Ronnie has a huge butt
Zero calves
Phil Heath is the aesthetic version of Ronnie
Have you ever seen the prejudging video for the 2010 Arnold Classic ? Ronnie NEVER looked that good !!!
Ronnie couldn’t carry Phils gym bag
Phil 2010 - 2013 is just perfection basically
He should already be an 8 time Mr. Olympia
He was better than Jay in 2010
Ronnies gut looks as bad, if not worse than phils. If social media existed during ronnies era he wud have had just as many bad comments as phil
Thanks for watching guys! Thumbs up if you enjoy these types of videos!
big ed would dwarf ronnie coleman even on 2003.
I Enjoy all of your videos bro!
It would be great if you could do more comparison videos of bodybuilders from different era......
Gunther should have won the O and definitely deserved the GNC😉💯💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Gunther messed up after the GNC by firing his coach because it was also Ronnie's coach and he thought he was sabotaging his prep so his other client (Ronnie Coleman) would have no problem winning.
We germans have a long history of insane bodybuilders, who never won major titles.
wish ruhl didn't tear his pec and kept competing. He was more of a spectacle tho
Political decisions and nothing more.
Ich weiß
German doping is excellent quality
I forgot his name. Mr shredded some body builder who died in the early 90s
Markus Ruhl had the freakiest physique ever imo they were both similar in size but when Markus was shredded Ronnie couldn’t compete.
Couldn't compete on the freakiness level maybe. But ron was miles ahead overall
Can someone explain me how Markus Ruhl didn't win Mr Olympia?
Nikola Slavov he’s big, but not shredded. Yeah he was shredded in 2002 night if champions but not in the Olympia, and we all know the Olympia gives the standout to the most complete, biggest and shredded bodybuilder
Nikola Slavov his proportions were off and his physique wasnt very esthetic
Because he isn't American. Simple as that
Markus Ruhl is more like "Most Muscular" Ruhl. Even his back lat spread would look like a hands clasped most muscular.🤷🏼♂️
Good thing the neck muscle wasn't part of judging for Marcus because his traps was so big he literally had no neck
@@SitesThatSuck His traps were literally above the level of his ears lol
Gunther Schlierkamp was absolutley robbed in 2002
Don’t skip to 5.20
@K L u dont even understand how robbed he was your just a Ronnie fan boy and too dead set on no one else but him
K L but he had better symmetry, proportions, better posing , and most important of all, no bubble gut was showed on stage 👌🏿

Haha lmao get rekt

Biased towards American bodybuilders. Gunter won that by a mile, but only came 6th. WTF?!
@@matty6848 I don't think the American aspect is why there was bias, but it's clear where the bias has been for some time.
@Sebastian Henkins That certainly played an aspect
Do you guys think it's [possible to make Ronnie look small?
It's hard I guess but I think your list is very good
Yes greg Kovacs
Markus Rühl the German Legende
Yes but not a prime Ronnie
Ask markus ruhl
Paul Dillett... The first bodybuilder I saw as a kid that legit looks like an action figure.. His vascularity scared me 😂💪
Dude had roadmaps for veins; just a mountain of mass.
Robert Prince I know right?!?!
@@BigPlaysOnly Oh yeah: his posing was the main issue to me.
Ronnie definitely had crazy density and conditioning but I don’t know his physique in my eyes was never very pleasing. But who am I lol
As much as I hate to say it, I've always felt the same. His look just isn't pleasing to my eye at all.
couldn't said better, absolutely love the dude very inspiring but his body does not look very good in my eyes
Imo Ronnie actually looked best at his first Mr O, he had good mass and a trim waist
@@george83815 yeah, his bubble gut got worse and worse with time
Fully agreed, too much gut also
Markus Rühl was the biggest and craziest Bodybuilder ever.
Absolutely insane just how big that fucking dude was. One of the biggest humans to ever live.
Totally agree
Wasn't Paul dillet bigger
Agreed
Sadly he didn't have good enough shapes. Only mass and condition from time to time.
Are there any bodybuilders you think I missed in this list?
synthol kid
Phil’s baby
John Cena
Big lenny !

2002 Gunter Schlierkamp is my favorite Bodybuilder of all time, as he is an overall good looking guy, tall, aesthetic, nice face and smile.
Nick , I am from India and u make me to follow bodybuilding..........
Ronnie'sphysique was never aesthetic to me. the proportions were just kinda bizarre to win the title so often. but that's just my opinion
Yeah your opinion.. everybody has one
Pregnant cow era of bodybuilding
They don't care about all that. Only thing judges want is size + condition. Explains why ppl like branch Warren won often as well
Great video Nick, definitely enjoyed this one.
Glad to see Gunter got his life together and stopped hanging out with that ice king guy
Great comparison Nick. Glad you are starting to do these kind of videos and not just news stories.
What do you think Ronnie's best year?
2003☠☠
98
2003
99 british grand prix
Balanced : 98
Mass : 03
When I was following bodybuilding Ronnie always placed in the lower part of the top six. I drifted away from the sport, got interested 15-20 years later to find out he became one of the best ever. I was very surprised.
I remember that show. I was furious when Gunter got fifth at the O. His physique was better than Ronnie's that year. That was a BS contest.
I'm glad you brought some more attention to Gunther. His heartfelt speech to the enamoured crowd after he took an outrageous 5th at the 2002 Mr Olympia solidifies him as a graceful and deserving champion in my book, he deserves more notoriety and respect.
Markus wasn't even human anymore. He was such a monster.

Bodybuilding contest results are to subjective &/or political. Only timed or taped ( measured ) sporting events are accurate...
Thats why I like powerlifting and strongman competitions way more.
That part! I keep telling people same thing but they don't agree!

zakaria600 American OR British. Lets not forget how El Sombaty was robbed.
Thanks for the video, NICK'S STRENGTH AND POWER
Its from the back Ronnie takes them all, hes got 'fat muscle' his lats literally hang off his torso when relaxed. And in a pose its his superior structure, tie ins, limb length, muscle bellies, along with amazing condition that makes all the difference.
Gunther was waaaay underrated, definitely deserved at least one olympia title.
Arnold was the best Bodybuilder of all time. He blended size and aesthetics perfectly.
Modern bodybuilding needs to go back to the 70s and 80s.
Totally agree with u
No picture of Gunter at the Mr. Olympia in 2002?
In a few hours nick is gonna make video abt phil heath talking abt "the why"

“Small” is a very relative term here

I’m not a judge but when Gunter is next to King Coleman you can notice something he is missing but Ronnie had it. That something is easily noticed by judges. That’s why he couldn’t beat Ronnie.
From the perspective or eyes of ordinary people , Gunter is certainly the winner.
Lmao what is that something a big gut?
4.53..
Wow..thats the difference...
Gunther looked perfect cut.. conditioning, posing, confidence, muscularity...
I guess, Ronnie had superiority over him on back lat spread though
5:50 Jesus Christ he looks like a video game character. Or like a tan hulk action figure or something. That's insane
Gunter is probably the most aesthetic freaky mass monster ever.
Without triceps actually
Gunther is one of most charming olympia candidates.
Paul Dillett was the best mass monster ever!
That was good, the commentary was excellent
If someone asks me who is Ronnie Coleman
I would say “the guy with Butterfly Butt”

Have you seen Ruhl in person in his prime ? 👀
Lol. All of them had ‘thick muscle’. Sorry but Gunter & Ruhl were both bigger than Ronnie non negotiable
yes Gunter and Marcus and the quality of muscle ronnie had was unmatched it literally hung off of his joints it was unreal
@Rod OB and their muscle are softer and bigger due to more water. What about the Nasser
