Ronnie Coleman welcomed actor Jonathan Majors for an intense chest workout on March 17, 2025. In addition to building muscle and discussing Majors’ acting career, Coleman revealed his current training split.
Jonathan Majors continues to explore the sport of bodybuilding, having recently wrapped up filming Magazine Dreams, which features other notable talents, such as Mike O’Hearn. Majors plays Killian Maddox, an aspiring bodybuilder who struggles with mental health and personal relationships. The film examines the stresses of the sport and the pressures of body image in bodybuilding.
Meeting with former eight-time Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman, Majors gained a deeper understanding of how bodybuilding can impact one’s life. Today, Coleman struggles to walk without assistance but has taken meaningful measures to regain his mobility and health. This includes regular stem cell therapy procedures which he’s credited for helping reduce his pain significantly. Below, they dive into a brutal workout and bond over Coleman’s training routine.

Before hitting the weights, Coleman spoke on Majors’ contributions to the acting industry.
“Today I’m getting a workout in with my boy, Jonathan Majors. If you don’t know who Jonathan Majors is, he’s a bona fide Hollywood actor known for starring in films like Creed III, Ant Man, and his newest blockbuster movie about bodybuilding coming out this Friday, Magazine Dreams. Let’s see if Jonathan can hang with me,” he shared.
Coleman laid out his current training split following their workout.
“Six days, yeah. I train chest twice a week, back twice a week, legs once a week,” he shared. “Not [hitting legs] like I used to. I still got that disc problem in my back. And I got a lot of tissue I need to figure out how to get rid of it. That’s what’s keeping me from walking.”
Jonathan Majors has gone to great lengths to ensure his physique was up to snuff to play a ripped bodybuilder. He recently walked fans through his 6,100-calorie diet, which he followed for four consecutive months to pack on the necessary mass for the role. He also explained that he was forced to train three times a day to transform his body for the character.
Majors’ time working out with Ronnie Coleman was well spent and he left the gym exhausted. His film, Magazine Dreams has an official release date of March 21, 2025, according to IMDB.
