Still monster
but i think that he should prepare better for his guest posing, at least drop some water...

he get paid and it's not like he's competing anywhere soon ...

[gOt2be]

Yeah he's still huge! haha

[zrage]

Hes back is still thicker, wider, more developed than the entire olympia line up. Thats just crazy lol coleman was on another level

lol wut.....

He still has visible abs....

[FullROM]

Colemans back looks very symetrical, his lats looked the same size IMO, the angle was nt the best but to me Ronnie could make a comeback, his injurys from before dont look bad.

[cbezz]

uno... I was thinking he looks not that great... But then he said 47 and I realized he hasn't competed for ages.
He looks pretty dam good. And wow 47...

[IwillBaMonster]

Yeah... it's kind of a "haven't trained srsly for half a year" shape, but he's still a fukkin beast.

[Getter_done]

Still big but theres something very sad about this video.

His hams are still insane. They have as much peak as his biceps. Ronnies atrophyed lat is still better than anyone elses onstage now. But its his total lack of tris and hugely reduced shoulders that are weird. haha everytime a video gets posted of him I wonder what he would look like onstage again. I really think he has one show left in him, not the O but some smaller show. he should just show up and compete. That will send his stacks through the roof

[bigboijr]

Honestly... Ronnie knows he could never come back but just says it for publicity IMO. He looks terrible... his arms look small as his gut is overpowering... He dont look like he can hold poses as it takes alot to do so... i just think his age has caught up to him....

Ronnie will always hold the name for being the king of bodybuilding but i think it should remain like that because if he actually does "One of those Olympia's coming up".... Jay, Kai, Phil... even dexter who's slowly expiring will place higher and he will no longer be the king

He should never do the O again but i think he could still win a small show if he trained up and was conditioned. he still has the size to go toe to toe with anyone

[SUPER_MANLET]

Ronnie is the king

I dont think he has any intention of competing in any show again,he looks big but my guess would be prepping for a competition at his age and what he has been through might be more than its worth for big ron.

Ronnie's days are over, he hasn't got it in him anymore. He has sagged and hardening up will be close to impossible. He would have to really abuse the drugs to get back in shape. Not worth it imho. He should even quit guest posing, ruining the king Coleman picture in everyone's head. He's doing great for his age but lets face it, do you want remember Coleman with a peak physique, or a saggy guest poser with a gut and injuries?

Dear God this is the worst advice I've ever heard. He makes tons of money with this and I for one am really happy to get a picture of his shape regularly.

[Iceman1981]

I'm one of the biggest Ronnie fans out there. Ronnie is still a beast, but he doesn't even attempt the rear latspread. He just puts his hands on his waist. He's been doing this ever since 06'. Is it because he can't spread his lats any more or he just poses like that on purpose?

[fretslayer]

Props to him for keeping so much size at his age, but come on folks, that gut is bad.

How will he not be the king if he competes at 47 just for the hell of it and loses? He took 4th in 2007 to Jay, Victor and Dexter already yet he's still the GOAT. Nothing he can do will take away from his reign as the king.

Also, he isn't holding poses the way he needs to because he doesn't practice posing daily like he would if he was prepping for a contest. He just comes out and does his routine for some money. If he competed I'm sure he'd take it more seriously and practice his posing.

Perhaps it hurts him? I also would like to know because I am sure that his back could look much wider. When relaxed, his back is so thick that it appears to be symmetrical and as dense as many years ago.

What are you even talking about? I don't think you even know what you are saying. First off, he is in offseason shape right now, so that is why he's not as conditioned as you are used to seeing him. If we chose to, he could strip the fat and harden up to whatever degree he chose to...age has NOTHING to do with this...it is called dieting down.

People will ALWAYS remember Coleman with a "peak physique"..the GREATEST OF ALL TIME..and his guest posing condition that he displays now is not going to change that. Like I said, if he wanted to compete again, he could get conditioned. And NO, he shouldn't quit guest posing or doing anything else he is doing. Guest posing is excellent for your muscles and is a part of what helps keep him in shape even though he is 47. The guy is a bodybuilding legend and displays incredible mass and condition for being his age and not training seriously for competitions, etc. Any pro would love to remain in his kind of shape after retirement. Come on now, give him some credit.

^^ This..I love Ronnie but this video made me :-(

That's only because you have seen a legend compete when he was in his prime, and now he is not in his prime and retired. Just like it will be sad to see Jay in his "less-than-prime" condition years later after he retires from the Olympia stage.

It also depends on how you look at it. For me, I think it's inspirational to see someone who is 47 and still doing their thing. He loves bodybuilding so much and will probably always workout and be involved in it someway, somehow..Ronnie has drive and passion...(and crazy genetics)..all of which were the very thing that drove him to be the GOAT! I love seeing Ronnie do his thing..whether it be on the Olympia stage or guest posing. He could of chosen to just hang up the posing trunks and not lift at all anymore and fade away..but he's still hardcore, huge, and loving bodybuilding! I think it's ****ing awesome!

[Reisinger850]

Why? If it was because of his physique, you should already be used to it since he looks like this since 3 years.

[Milone79]

good points Hardcore Natural...for 47 he looks great...guess I just will forever have the images of the GOAT in his prime in my mind...there will never be another like him thats for sure.

[ResovoirDog]

I actually feel offended whenever a bad word is said about Coleman.

[justinnnnn]

I think when in that condition...wear some tracksuit/sweatsuit type pants and a tank top or something...IT would hide a lot and still show off the size and goods..jmho..
