For eight years, Ronnie Coleman dominated bodybuilding. We all know he is the 8x Olympia champion and possibly greatest of all time bodybuilder. We have all seen him on stage, his freakish size and unimaginable strength.
Ronnie was known for going extremely heavy and he could even compete in powerlifting if he wanted to, he was very strong. In case you didn’t know Big Ronnie comes from a powerlifting background.
Watch the above video of Ronnie doing some good old fashioned hardcore training. Train hard, YEAH BUDDY!

wow,an absolute beast!!!
yeah buddy!
Super strength!
What’s the big deal? It was light weight, baby.
I never see videos of today’s competitors training like this
So could it be that they’re taking more drugs?? Just asking
Maybe cuz nobody wants to get lot of surgery as Ronnie, so they use more tempo instead of put more weight
You don’t have to train that heavy and u can still have issues. Everyone knows that that stuff makes you stronger. the muscles can handle it but the joints take the beating. powerlifters go through the same thing not just Ronnie Coleman.
Craig Watler Dallas McCarver trained like Ronnie, he was such an strong beast, it all comes to their roots, ronnie was a powerlifter, dallas always trained super heavy
Thank god for his genetics bc those corner rows have got to be the fugliest reps I’ve ever seen anyone do. I wonder how much better his back development would have been had he done those with better form?
Reminds me of the video of some dude doing shrugs with 8 plates on each side that went viral. Hideous form.
He was the man though.
He had the best back in the business what u on about ?
I think he’s volunteering to show what he did and how his back looks. People say the same thing about Fletcher ISYMFS
Nathan Melton best back? you mean Dorian Yates right? lol.
and you can argue about intensity vs technique all day, perhaps if he did everything with perfect technique his back would have been even BETTER.. but perhaps if he trained with less intensity and more technique he wouldnt have enjoyed it as much and never achieved what he did… we’ll never know
I can do 7….
He did so many surgeries that he could not walk no more .He learned to walk again with the help of the hospital
Well that explains why his in a wheel chair.
But he achieved his goal or dream, While others are still talking shit about him and where are they in the gym right now
He did 12 plates in his second video after deadlifting 800×2 then does 495×8 on bent rows !
He also snapped a V handle in half in the process!
He didnt lift heavy. He only lifted heavy for the camera. He lifted light and repetitious. Then again, whats light for him might be heavy as fuck for me lol
That’s only 4 plates more than me lmao.
Lance Layfield
Light weight!
Hence why his back is fucked up today and he’s a mear shadow of himself
Love brain wattage. This man ruined his structure as well as his Integrity of his body.
Yeah buddy what a Philistine
Love Ronnie Coleman but standing to far upright on this movement all goes to traps ment to be for Lats needs more bend 45degree angle
Your gonna critique the king? I’m pretty sure he knew what he was doing Hahahaha
Matthew Jason Douglas Heynen nope I invented this one as well 😂
Bahahahahaha
Come on Mike dont you know by now you can hit different areas of your back if your a little upright and besides dont forget what might work for some might not work for others and 8 mr Olympia’s later I think it worked😜😂
Paul Ayers amen
“what an idiot” “terrible form” “he can barely move now”
Still one of the legends and co record Olympia holder
It doesn’t matter what it took. Ask anybody truly hungry for the Mr. O what they would do to get it
Anything is the answer
Chamba Wamba das ist unser Training für heute!!!
das training war genial mit dir mein bester
Chamba Wamba jo so langsam komm ich rein!!! Gib mir noch ein Bissel Zeit
Carsten-Ludwig Becker ich bin stolz auf dich mein lieber
bist doch gut dabei !!!!!!
Lost all respect for him after that bullshit interview on TMZ about dallas McCarver!
He was exactly right though, in his simplistic Ronnie way. He basically said that Dallas started heavy gear too much too soon. And got too big too fast. Whereas Ronnie never weighed 300+ until well into his career. It’s just not medically advised to gain that much weight that fast.
Last thing I saw he was in a wheelchair. Not worth it.
MT Nurgel
Yeah buddy!! Light weights!!
I see they don’t have a “no dropping the weights policy”
But seriously… Nothing but mad respect for the RONSTER Ronnie Coleman
At this age lifting line this??? F****** INCREDIBLE and a inspiration to ALL who appreciate the sport!
And still a great and cool dude as he’s always been.
Another thing I gotta point out… Working out in that environment, at that intensity, without all the cushy a/c and TVs, is a whole other level! #realtalk

I miss this Legend. I could care less if you disagree but Ronnie Coleman was the greatest bodybuilder of all time.
