Ronnie Coleman Interview: "No One Trains Like I Did" | Iron Cinema

ORDER NOW "Ronnie Coleman: The King" today right here: generationiron.com/ronniecole...
While filming the main interview - director Vlad Yudin talked with Ronnie a little bit further with Ronnie Coleman to go in more detail about how much physical strength played a roll in his success as a bodybuilder and as a legend. Ronnie has always been naturally strong - and he trained in a way that was unheard of for most bodybuilders. It's part of the reason he has so many serious injuries and surgeries today.

Ronnie lived his vision. Did it his way. Always humble. Always a class act.

[@cancelcasey]

RoughToBeBuffTV lol he was never humble until now 😂 he is a class act though

[@mykidsdad36]

Yes!! Very deserving very humble but amazingly talented and gifted!!

[@roughtobebufftv5990]

mykidsdad36 crazy gifted. I get caught in these KZbin rabbit holes of watching his insane workouts.

[@MaverickUK77]

Exactly that @me nature. His mental strength exceeded even his ridiculous physical strength.

[@AllinTMC]

Ronnie paid for what he did to his body. But i guarantee if he can go back he would do it the same way. No regrets. 8X Mr. Olympia his way.

[@SuperHell789]

Naw my man's said he regrets that he ain't go harder fam...ain't nun but fuckin ' respect for this man

[@hshehwhw503]

gotta do what you got to do man

[@smackedinthejaw]

At least he's still breathing at 54 years old. Many bodybuilders have expired by this stage (RIP Rich Piana). I get the impression that Ronnie believes that his training and whatever he did to his body was worth the outcome. Sacrifices have to be made.

[@chuckielong1]

Yea he said in another interview if he could do it all over again he wouldnt change anything, except lifting heavier on one of his squat or doing more reps forgot what he said exactly lmfao.

[@dewaynewhite2928]

Yeah said he wished he could have lifted heavier!!

Machines and Free Weights are not the same. You are right about that Big Ron. Free weights workout your stabilizing muscles.

[@IvanBodybuilding]

not the same but they both have their role

[@paule1441]

okay cool... for what does a bodybuilder need stabilizing muscles?

Nah bro he will stay big forever. Cause itssss Ronnie Coleman!!! Duh!!!

[@hawg427]

You are so correct. I powerlifter for over 25 years starting in the 198 class and stopped in the 275 plus. I have had a biceps tear, right knee replacement, shoulder injuries. Every damn joint in my body hurts now at age 59. I lived powerlifting and at my job as a Firefighter-Paramedic it made lifting patients much easier. Now I'm not even motivated to walk down the street. It sucks. I tell my Step-Son that even the new Crossfit craze will damage you just as bad as heavy powerlifting.

[@andreilungu1136]

Ronnie prepared for the day when he would go to surgery. He said himself that he worked in the police because from that profession he had the health assurance paid. So, he fulfilled his plan: he trained hard, he became the best bodybuilder ever on this planet and now he has the health problems he prepared for. This guy has the perfect life, God bless him.

[@fgabrieltomas]

I just love this man's character. So strong but so humble in his demeanor. We need more like him

[@pumpthepumpup]

He might have been naturally strong but he worked harder than everyone else. Truly a gift to bodybuilding

[@princeekeson12]

No, free weights are NOT the same. 🤦 Edit: Ronnie, let 'em know.

[@phoenixrisin2269]

Prince Ekeson That’s why guys look soft today. It’s because they are soft mentally! Ronnie was the best we will ever see. He was natural competing in his first few Olympia’s. It was Flex who turned him on to juice. Ronnie was a genetic freak. Check out the 1999 Grand Prix in England! He looks like something from another planet! Incredible!

[@Wasupde]

Randy benton y’all act like ppl can’t work out how they want to. y’all tryna regulate like y’all some big time weight lifter or something

KENNETH; Go look into what Ronnie looked like natural and tell me YOU can get to that. Steroids do absolutely nothing unless you actually eat huge and work your ass off in the gym every day. You will not gain muscle weight taking steroids and sitting on your ass.

[@MichaelClaesson]

Whenever you talk about the greatest in any particular sport you can't only look at achievements, you have to look at what they do or did for the sport. At least if you ask me. Ronnie always struck me as such a great person, very humble and seemingly down to earth. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the sport but I doubt I'd know as much as I do about it without Ronnie being there to promote it. Keep it up man!

[@apuuvah]

You need a strong mind to build a strong body. Goes pretty much for any real achievement.

Ronnie lived his life the way he dreamed he wanted to. From boyhood onwards, this was his dream. The injuries came with the territory of heavy lifting. It gave him the income to take care of himself now in retirement.

It will never be another Ronnie Coleman The king of BB. The man was willing to pay the price of being the greatest of all time. He just said the only thing I regret is not doing 4 more reps when I was squatting 800 lbs, so haters are going to hate. Before you criticize the man ask yourself what in the heck have you done and accomplish with your life? God Bless you Ronnie!

no to sound like a hater, but posing in your underwear in front of other men is not that great of an accomplishment (neither is fathering 8 children with different women)

You have to realize that Ronnie Coleman was FUCKING HUGE! He didn't put size on, he lost a lot of size, what you're looking at is a shrunken version of his former self. The reason Ronnie still looks muscular is that unlike other bodybuilders who stop lifting and get fat, Ronnie still goes to the gym every morning, DESPITE that he now has trouble walking without crutches. That's fucking dedication!

[@clayearth8287]

Bull fucking shit. Guy had gyno onstage too often. His chest was odd looking. Many looked better than him. He had great biceps...back and legs no doubt but Dorian Yates had better legs and back. Dorian's biceps were not that great. Coleman is a top 5....at best in top 3 all time. Olympian wins are handed out once winning several. Lee Haney also had better genetics than Coleman, as did Flex Wheeler. Ronnie should have not won 2 of those Olympias just as Arnold should not have won the 1980 Olympia.
