Ronnie Coleman: "I think ya'll saw the pictures of me at 296 and I wasn't even trying to come in big because I was trying to come down to the 250 range. But in 2003, it's ON! I'm getting as big as I can and you can bet that come the Olympia I'm gonna raise the roof! "

Holy shit, Ronnie Coleman's gettin bigger! I saw those 296 pics, wow!

Not impressed? Thats a strange thing to say. You're a bodybuilding enthusiast(I assume), and not staggered that Mr. Olympia is 300 LEAN lb's?

Well what impresses me about bodybuilding is not just the size. To me it's everything as a package about bodybuilding i.e. size, symmetry and personal health. Ronnie is huge but disproportional and he looks pregnant. To me thats not whats attractive. I personally admire guys like Shawn Ray who looks good year round with nice symmetrical physique and has good size. I mean if I want a belly like Ronnie all I gotta do is be a couch potatoe. Not to mention the stress on ones body at 300+ lbs. Ronnie is not the only one, for example Kamali was a trophy presenter at the NPC show. He was so disgusting looking with his belly, it looked like he was 9 months pregnant with quintuplets. We all here defend AS use because its safe and we look out for our health, well its guys like Ronnie who sacrafice health for size till he turns up dead from a heart atack that give BB a bad name. This is just the way as I see it.

No way bro- Ronnie has a taut 29 inch midsection

I dont understand why you guys complain about his abnormally large stomach area.
hehe, granted it does stick out at inoportune moments, however it is etched and well defined, maybe not the best abs in the game, but it is somewhat proportional to the rest of his body.

You can see it is not fat. so what is the argument based upon, because i'm confused. It's bloated, yes, but not every one is built the same, not everyone has a paper thin wasteline. Most pros today dont, because their all about mass, and as you can see so is coleman.

Really there are just 2 different schools of thought.

One likes to see mass at all costs- doesn't care about size of stomach, propotion, etc...

Then there is the school of thought that thinks bodybuilding peaked in the 70s and early to mid 80s with guys that were certainly big but had tiny waists- bbuilders who looked like greek gods and who the average male would like to look like.

I personally don't think the best built man in the world should have a 40 inch waist- to me that just doesn't make sense. Although i'm biased as i'm clearly not a Ronnie fan.
