His crazy wide lats helped to further the illusion of a tiny waist, even though it wasnt Buchanan-esque

the-craig · 08-14-2009, 06:44 AM

I can't really get over his should to waist ratio there. I really think that he will never be topped.

Actually I have thought about the "does the head get bigger" question over the years. I do think the head grows a little.

Your face is made up of muscles just like the rest of your body. Every time you stress while lifting your face gets a workout as well. This "to me" in turn builds the facial muscles. Which leads to a larger head.

This is unfortunate for me as I already have a bull dog head..lol.

I know that your ears and nose grow as you age for sure. That might just be cartilage not sure.

That Ronnie pic is nuts.

I wouldnt say that.... in 2005 he was absolutely shredded beyond belief, but when you have that much mass, you sort of pay the price with your conditioning. ie: David Henry a few months back when he got beat by Kevin English, he put on some extra mass, but his conditioning wasnt there..

mikieson · 08-14-2009, 07:32 AM

A lot of people talk about Ronnies gut getting larger over time. Its kind of like my theory of the head getting larger.

As you get upwards of 250-300lbs of solid muscle your gut has to eventually grow as well.Its made of just as much muscle as anything on your body. Its going to get larger. BUT if you notice in 2005 Ronnies gut is ripped. Abs everywhere and when he tightens it, its freakin tight.

There is simply no way to keep your waist at a 32" size or even from looking a little bloated at this size..Just no way.

the-craig · 08-14-2009, 08:04 AM

I thought his head got bigger because of the GH and his gut because of the insulin and massive amounts of food.

BOUNTYHUNTERMK2 · 08-14-2009, 08:10 AM

The more years that pass since Ronnie's retirement the more I find myself appreciating his greatness that little bit more. What a physique right there.

IwillBaMonster · 08-14-2009, 08:17 AM

-SLIX- · 08-14-2009, 08:59 AM

Watch ronnies 1st training video. His waist is tiny. I should do a screen capture with him in his uniform in 97 and him in 2000.. His gut grew alot. Though in that first video he is what 250 and in the unbelievable he is 285

NCMarcus82 · 08-14-2009, 09:11 AM

pretty impressive in 2005, to be that big and still be ripped and have nics abs

u sure mate!??...cuz iv seen the 2009 tampa bay pro pics in where david won and he looked really good conditioning wise with the added size

Rsardinia · 08-14-2009, 11:13 AM

simply amazing.

Helper · 08-14-2009, 11:19 AM

Too bad Ronnie didn't keep that frame, I prefer that look much more than the huge distended gut.

It wasn't food. He had been eating massive amounts of food for years. Not like 1 year his stomach is gonna decide to expand because of the food.

I mean in addition, I'm sure he would have been distended somewhat in some of the years before he won his first Olympia too he just controlled it better.

His stomach did not permanently expand from food. This is something bro science has made up so guys who don't want to admit to drug usage have an excuse for their GH guts. By 2000 Ronnie had been bodybuilding for years and years do you really think that it took by year like 15 or 20 before the stomach decided "Damn, I'm getting a lot of food..I should expand."
