Ronnie Coleman is undoubtedly one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. Winning eight world’s most prestigious bodybuilding competition, Mr. Olympia and dominating the competition for much of his career grants Ronnie Coleman that status alongside Lee Haney, Dorian Yates, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Bodybuilding is by no means an easy task to take up, even if you are genetically gifted. But among all the naturally gifted bodybuilders out there, Ronnie Coleman is still in his own class.

In addition to inhuman strength and muscle mass, Coleman was known for his incredible form “definition”. To this day, many bodybuilding and fans “debate” in which year Ronnie Coleman reached his best Form.

Check out the following video of the legend Ronnie Coleman at the Arnold Classic 2001 shows probably The Best Form of his life.

“I know I must have been pretty ripped that year because they had to photoshop the magazine shoot to make me look LESS conditioned. They said it was TOO FREAKY!!!”
