Literally perfect, and his 'worst' pose

it's plain blasphemy that this thread isn't stickied

I guess it's safe to say that he was and will always be the biggest bodybuilder

Best? Yes, biggest? No

[flangmasterj]

[rickypujol]

Best? Yes, biggest? No

Alright so who has been bigger than him with the same bodyfat and the same weight ?

[JigPig]

Markus ruhl, Gunther, lou ferrigno(315 lbs). Prime Paul Dillet, Greg kovacs. Jean Pierre fux, Joel Stubbs.

These guys were larger than Ronnie when it came to just sheer mass and a few of the mentioned dwarfed Dorian yates as well.

[porrapaulao]

Dat quad sweep, wth

[tom11]

[Jaixs]

That's a silly comparison. Compton managed to barely edge out Delarosa.


On another note; has there actually been anyone bigger in terms of sheer lbm?

[Est]

[lukamura]

Only if Ronnie had dat triceps, perfection.

It depends on what we mean by "larger", don't we?

The most massive competitive bodybuilder of all is probably Dalip Singh Rana, The Great Kali. If we restrict it to actual IFBB pros, then probably Greg Kovacs.

But those guys are massively taller than Ronnie. If they were 5'11, they'd be dwarfed by him.

Ferrigno, Dillet, and Stubbs are also pretty tall. They might have had more mass, but not adjusted for their height.

I can't say with 100% certainty whether Ronnie was the biggest height-adjusted pro, but he's probably the first guy I'd think about. Brushing 300lbs at 5'11 in contest shape is just insane.

Big Ramy is a guy who might potentially have equal mass to Ronnie.

I'd say Ramy isn't too far off as well, curious to see who has bigger quads

Wasn't there a funny head-swap version of this? if there isn't, there should be.

this is just silly... pound for pound just muscle mass on a frame scaled to height none of them beat 03 coleman...

plus the amount of lagging bodyparts and inferior conditioning those bbers have on coleman... they're top 5 at the O or didn't place for a reason.

Alas there is a vast difference being the BEST bodybuilder to being the BIGGEST.

I'm just giving the response that despite Ronnie being the BEST of ALL TIME, he wasn't the largest bodybuilder out there on stage.

Obviously other factors come into play like conditioning, proportions, symmetry as well and Ronnie had all these.

Being the largest bodybuilder doesn't mean being the best one, or else markus ruhl would be 10x mr olympia.

Ferrigno dwarfed Dorian rates in 92 and 93 when it came to just sheer width and size.

Obviously none of these guys could ever hope to defeat the GOAT, but in terms of sheer size? They did surpass Ronnie coleman in that department
