Ronnie Coleman

 I stopped following professional bodybuilding in the early 90's. I was re-introduced years later while training at my gym in Manila. They were playing a video--it was one of the biggest guys I'd ever seen and he was deadlifting and insane amount of weight.

I later learned this was 8-time Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman.   Here's a list of his titles:
  • 1990 Mr. Texas (Heavyweight & Overall)
  • 1991 World Amateur Championships (Heavyweight)
  • 1991 Mr.Universe
  • 1995 Canada Pro Cup
  • 1996 Canada Pro Cup
  • 1997 Grand Prix Russia
  • 1998 Night of Champions
  • 1998 Toronto Pro Invitational
  • 1998 Mr. Olympia
  • 1998 Grand Prix Finland
  • 1998 Grand Prix Germany
  • 1999 Mr. Olympia
  • 1999 World Pro Championships
  • 1999 Grand Prix England
  • 2000 Mr. Olympia
  • 2000 Grand Prix England
  • 2000 World Pro Championships
  • 2001 Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic
  • 2001 Mr. Olympia
  • 2001 New Zealand Grand Prix
  • 2002 Mr. Olympia
  • 2002 Grand Prix Holland
  • 2003 Mr. Olympia
  • 2003 Grand Prix Russia
  • 2004 Mr. Olympia
  • 2004 Grand Prix England
  • 2004 Grand Prix Holland
  • 2004 Grand Prix Russia
  • 2005 Mr. Olympia

I still prefer the "golden era" physiques to the modern Mr Olympia winners. I'm still not very interested in professional bodybuilding.  But I will say this: you have to watch Ronnie Coleman training--seeing is believing. 

NOTE: I would not recommend natural, genetically average trainees try to follow the same kind of routines that pro bodybuilders do.  Instead I would recommend a program like Muscle Gaining Secrets.

You can see my review of the program here: Muscle Gaining Secrets Review.

Here's the video that was playing in my gym:
