recent video of ronnie training triceps

IronAnimal77 · 06-12-2008, 12:11 AM

i notice that when he switches to his left arm he barely completes half a rep compared to the right. i guess this just shows how bad his left tricep is really injured. the size difference is very pronounced as well.

I don't think that it is recent, it may be half a year old....I have his new dvd and really Ronnie tried everything to make his left triceps bigger again, but it seems he could train it how he wanted, it was in vain in the end....

I wonder why he just didn't inject some synthol into that left arm?

Too obvious I think!? Really, I don't think Coleman ever used synthol.... This wouldn't fit. But I would like to know what causes this atrophy. Man, if it weren't for this injuries he could still dominate.

GIVE COLEMAN HIS LAT AND TRICEP BACK DAMN!!!!!!!

Why did the camera man record that with the camera on the side. Do I have to turn my monitor on its side to watch this clip?

you'd be surprised how well synthol can be used. there's a ****load of guys on another board who use it like crazy and most of them do a pretty good job. i'm not saying ronnie coleman used it, but there's a dude on that board who has bi's very similar to ronnie's just proportioned down a tad and he used synthol. you'd never guess by looking at him.

If you got nothing constructive to say about Coleman than please gtfo of those threads. You are only able to talk crap.

Who are you, the new guardian or what?????

never count out big ron.he said in a recent interview that he knew he looked worse than ever and he'll take his time to recover.

Wyllis100 · 06-12-2008, 04:00 AM

I think everyone can safely say that big ron is counted out. My favourite bodybuilder of all time aswell but for him to return looking the way he does would be a joke. I mean he still looks great but standing up there against the worlds best it would be a shame.

I wonder what caused this injury/atrophy?

badreligion · 06-12-2008, 06:35 AM

i think its one of those things that only Ronnie and his close friends will know what really happened to his lat and tricep

honestly if you go back to 05 that tricep was starting to go then

Reisinger850 · 06-12-2008, 06:48 AM

It is not like a sudden injury or sth , it is rather sth which got worse as time passed by. It is not about one bodypart, it is his whole left side. It's like the muscles just disappear slowly. It is such a drama because his right side of his whole body is still the old champion as we know him, at least a little bit.

BUT IMO, Ronnie could still win smaller competitions. Symmetry issues aside, he would still overpower other athletes with his unmatched muscularity and mucle maturity. You know, if Coleman entered say the NY Pro show or something, this show would attract more interest than the following Olympia just because he is bodybuilding's brightest star under the horizon...

So what? Makes him not winnung a worse bodybuilder? Last time I checked he was the record holder for most wins of all time...Will this be any less worthy in the near future? Many fans want to see him, get over it...

It is rather a disgrace for bodybuilding than an opinion when someone defames the sport's greatest star as "a joke".

You are LOL.

I remember listening to a radio show awhile back where they were dedicating the whole show to Ronnie. Brian dobson (the guy who owns metroflex and discovered Ronnie) was on the show first talking. They asked him this same question regarding the left side issues with Ronnie's lat.

He mentioned a time in the gym when Ronnie was doing his famous, super heavy T-bar rows and his foot actually slipped while doing a set.

I wonder if this is really how it all started?

I'm guessing it is because he has something called "integrity."

Ronnie is a solid guy.

Still the GOAT!

It is getting way too easy for people to just toss out synthol accusations. It is bad enough that everytime someone with a good physique comes along that he gets dismissed as a steroid user -- now it is synthol, which implies that he is even less authentic and deserving.

Unless someone has real, solid evidence of synthol abuse, I think we should just keep the catty accusations quiet.

As for Ronnie's injuries, I do think he can recover from them. His lat looks a lot better already from the pictures I've seen.

And no, I don't have any to post, because I save all the hard drive space on my computer for lesbian porn (we all have our own priorities).

They had an article on it in MD....One doctor in there said damage to the C7 vertebre...which can cause in bad cases extreme pain or atrophy of certain muscles in one side of the body...he believes one of his veterbre is fused or worn and he said that he's seen it happen many times in older strength athetes....

Wyllis100 · 06-13-2008, 04:37 AM

Win smaller shows like the New York Pro? You think a returning Ronnie where he is at now could beat Kai Green? No chance............

I think Ronnie is great but to say that if he came back he could win smaller shows either shows that bodybuilding is in a bad way at the min (no quality) or your just wrong!!

Well you got Jay Cutler, No conditioning, One side completely different to the other maybe atrophy on one side too. Yet he won, so it can't be that far fetched.

But in reality I think Coleman won't be coming back to do any shows. He has got nothing to prove. The only thing that might make him step on stage again is the love of BB which he loves to death.
