Big Ron ...

Has anyone been able to download this video? I could for a while, now I get an error message on all videos. I even downloaded the video upgrades that they suggested, but still no luck. WTF?
 
If these are WMV make sure you have Windows Media Player 9, click on Help > About inside the program to check version number.

"light weight!"

Oh and once that dumbass trevor guy loses weight for a competition...he'll be smaller than most people think
And I Kovacs is supposed to be much bigger than ronnie...isnt he like 330 at 10% bf or something

I just read that Trevor died just over a month ago. I was looking around for pictures of him and stumbled across the news. Rest in peace big guy.
 
I have the latest version of windows media player, v 9.0, so has anyone else had any luck downloading any of the videos?
 
ronnie coleman is very strong indeed. in the video he says that he has not lost strength compared to his off season training.
the spotter is Brian Dobson, he is the owner of the place where ronnie trains. ronnie gives brian quite some credit in the movie for his help.
my guess is that ronnie would have done great in powerlifting. especially in bench meets.
as for WSM competitors, some of them are also impressive.
Riku Kiri was a powerlifer, he had a personal best with just over 670 pounds. that was without shirt and pause.
Gerrit Badenhorst still holds the world record for the 308 puond class. he used to have the world record in the deadlift with just over 400 kg.
Svend Karlsen was a very promissing powerlifter to, he held the world record for juniors with 772 pounds kg in the deadlift.
Unfortunately he started bodybuilding instead, did quite well but I think he could have done big things with his deadlift talent.

Not to mention Mariusz Pudzianowski(current WSM) is 6'2" and 275-280Lbs. Here is his site www.pudzian.pl

Yeah and Ron is about that yet 3 inches shorter. There are guys in the high 300s/low 400s @ 6'2" in offseason shape, Mariusz is not that big when comparing him to a true BB.

To imply that Ron is not that strong because there are a "few much stronger" is bullcrap. A guy a few weeks out doing 800 pound deadlifts for two? Impressive. A guy with custom made 225 and 250 pound dumbells? Previously I had only heard of 225s for a POWERLIFTER, impressive. Not many guys are deadlifting in the 8s raw or benching in the 7s raw, no matter they BB or powerlifters.

Dont try to make the guy look like a baby or a weakling because he is neither. He isn't the strongest in the world but that is not his job now is it, give the guy some respect. So he doesn't pick up rocks, big deal.

Have a little respect, even if the guy was still living he was no dumbass. I have a lot of respect for him and his mind and think he deserves a bit more than the title of "dumbass." Moreover he did not compete, it was not in his plans to do so. The guy gave his time and a peice of himself to visit sick kids in the hospital dying of cancer and you have the nerve to call him a dumbass.

Real nice guy you are, somehow I doubt you know a thing about him or his life.

so does anyone know for a fact what his max bench is? I mean the last recorded statistic or anything?

His numbers work out to 736 if you cound how many times he does 225, last I heard.

Wow... this is old. Feeling like debating today Mudge? Heh...

I never said Mariusz was a lot bigger. Infact Mariusz is the SMALLEST competitor in the WSM. He is just stronger and faster than the rest.

Your point? I guess I should have been more careful with my words. Obviously he isnt a weakling.

Baby.. Weakling? I never said either. Whats your point in bringing this back up again? I do give him respect, he is the greatest BB on the planet at the moment. And, no... it isnt his job to be the WSM. Its a good thing too, because I dont think that he would cut it. So untill he does join, and competes, then this debate is pointless. I doubt your opinion will change, and mine certainly wont :)
 
Agreed. It's pointless to argue over and again over illusions!

I wasn't the person to bump the thread, I just think its frankly kind of stupid to imply that Ronnie is weak and point out "oh big deal look at xxx."

Even if you compare Ron to a powerlifter he can hold his own without question. There are a lot of powerlifters who never broke into the 800s for deads and ronnie does it for 2 reps SLDL! I'm not the biggest Ron fan in the world but the facts are right in front of us.

Good point. Just because Ronnie might not be the strongest man in the world doesn't mean his numbers aren't respectable. He can certainly compete with the big boys if nothing else.
 
2400 pound leg presses, 800x2 squats, he is no weakling whether you like the guy or not :lol:

ive seen a ton of photos in my muscles mags of ron

but damn they just dont do him justice like those videos

hes so freakin massive
And the videos dont do him justice like meeting him in person. He still lives here in a Dallas suburb and Ive seen him a handfull of times. The first time I was filling up with gas and he came along in his police cruiser in full uniform.

We've talked a bit when Ive seen him, but I wasnt star struck and I didnt ask for a handshake or an autograph. I treated him with respect. We made small talk, thats all. That first time I called him Mr. Coleman. He kinda laughed a bit and said to just call him Ronnie. I find him very easy to talk to and he laughs a lot.


what i want to know is who is that guy that's always in the videos with him??his personal spotter???
if you mean the guy with the goatee and short shorts, thats Brian Dobson, the owner of Metroplex Gym and one of Ronnie's backers. According to Ronnie, he's the one who convinced him to start training for professional bodybuilding and who guided him to be Mr. Olympia. He talks about him in an almost brotherly way.

well, first of all, if i were the #1 pro BB in the world, i wouldnt give a fuck about anyone else in teh gym either. dont get me wrong, i wouldnt be a dickhead, i'd keep to myself and shit, but if i wanted to yell "LIGHTWEIGHT", i sure wouldnt hesistate. I think its obvious he yells alot of that shit for the excitement of the camera, ya know?
Very true. He was doing that for the camera. But surprisingly, Ronnie is very humble and easy going. My brother worked out at that same gym when he worked in Arlignton and he's seen Ronnie a few times. Ronnie is open to people and he doesnt seem to mind giving a hand or even a spot when asked. Of course this was a couple of years ago, but...
looked to me like he was calling the weight he was pushing "light weight"... not his spotter. just psyching himself up for the lifts.
Exactly. But Ronnie likes to laugh so I hear he does that regularly when he's in a good mood.

about my "much larger than Ronnie" comment above....i meant to answer NO. i dont their are guys out there that can stand next to Ronnie and make him look small, no way in hell.
I would agree with this statement. Ive tried to describe Ronnie and I cant seem to do it in a way that doesnt sound like Im being overly dramatic. All I say is that even in this day and age when bodybuilding is much more prevalent, people literaly stop and freeze in their tracks when they see him. Its what I love about seeing him out in public. No he may not be the absolute biggest, but he is definately the most impressive.

Has anyone been able to download this video? I could for a while, now I get an error message on all videos. I even downloaded the video upgrades that they suggested, but still no luck. WTF?
I have the whole Unbelievable video from kazaa. I have some on Markus Ruhl, Ronnie, Dorian Yates and a lot of others.

Good point. Just because Ronnie might not be the strongest man in the world doesn't mean his numbers aren't respectable. He can certainly compete with the big boys if nothing else.
Possibly the best way Ive ever heard this subject put. My feelings exactly.

have you heard of sean allen
I have a pic of Sean with Jay Cutler and one of Sean with Ronnie. Its enough to make most men cry.
