That 99 picture is insane. Bigger, harder, and more balanced than anyone ever. Ridiculous.

and the thing is, there might be bodybuilders with physiques as photo genetic as ronnie (phil e.g.) but ronnie would just blow them away on stage

I agree. You have someone like Jay, who in the past has been capable of the same effect on guys like Phil and Kai, and he was utterly dominated by Ronnie.
My mind struggles to comprehend Ronnie.

Haha at that pic
Would Ronnie ever make a tell-all book about the secrets inherit in being a professional IFBB bodybuilder? Any guesses?
I'm sure that with his physique, he has a few secrets for success at the elite level.

Ronnie's chest was gargantuan. That's one thing I always notice in the lineups- you could fit like 1 and 1/2 of everyone else's pecs in each of Big Ron's pecs. Yet somehow, his freakishly large pectoral plates did not seem out of place on his physique. It's like he went, "well, I got deez big ol' pecs... gonna have to make evythang else huge now."
Thanx guys, great pics!
Those proportions, that combination of freaky size, hardness, & vascularity. Never before & probably never again.

Would strugle to find a more impressive leg pic than this...ever.
i had them but i lost them! reps for coleman side relaxed!
Late 90s Ronnie is the only person who could look at Flex in his best pic ever and say "Do you even lift brah" in a straight face.
overwhelming.

This one?

the best part is there has to be someone better in the future. There always is, especially in this sport where "technology" improves it so greatly. Some freak will show up some day.

lolololol seen it many times before and still makes me think that I'm hallucinating
dont need a thread to remember ronnie.
I don't think anyone can ever forget him.

One of his legs is bigger than my entire body :eek: IMO he had the best legs ever in the sport. And yes I will say it even Kai's :(
I think today's generation of BB'ers have some pretty big shoes to fill. Some have come close. Besides his freakish genetics, I think RC made bodybuilding more mainstream with his personality as well. He was very approachable.
From a female perspective when I started following this sport in the early 90's, seeing some of these men and women was intimidating as f'k. And lets be honest not many exude approachability(sp?) but Ronnie just made his fans feel at ease. You can't help but smile when you see him interacting with people.
No hate please just my perspective on how I see things :D
ronnold is numero uno
