In case you guys have forgotten, Ronnie Coleman displays nearly 24 inch arms in the offseason. His lifts are no joke.

Personally, I doubt it.

If Ronnie is hungry enough to get into 90% of his best shape, no one else these days can touch him. Only Dorian at his best could beat Ronnie, and even that is debatable.

I mean, let's face it...Jay Cutler kicks ass, but the guy is built like a refrigerator. His pecs aren't the best onstage, his back isn't as detailed as Ronnie's, and his arms' symmetry is off.

Gunter Schlierkampf is a bull, a monster, but his symmetry ALSO sucks. Look at his front double biceps...he has NO significant flare from his lats to his waist. His biceps still overpower his tris to the point of looking ridiculous. He gets into awesome condition and has a great torso, but he still very much looks like a tall guy struggling to fill out his frame.

Ronnie, meanwhile, is muscle folding atop muscle. The guy is a fucking black hole he's so massive.

Those two guys are the only ones who have a chance of defeating a prepared Coleman. Kevin Levrone had his chances and blew them both with weak legs and a poorly detailed back. Shawn Ray is great but not as good as he was in '94-'96, plus he's too damn small to win. Chris Cormier is like Levrone--awesome genetic gifts but is too lazy and inconsistent.

Flex...poor Flex. Had Flex appeared as he first did in '93, he would be the top dog, even if he was grossly outmassed. He was perfect then. Now, the poor guy's head is all messed up.

Who does that leave?

No...I say Ronnie stays on top for awhile longer. Cutler hasn't improved in two years. Schlierkampf improved so much that I don't think he has much more room to grow. Ronnie at his best still makes them both look like amateurs.

He can not fight Mother Nature. He is about to hit the wall. No matter how hard he trains or how many drugs he takes he can not turn back the years. He time is just about up.

Horseshit!!

I have seem him train in person. . in Arlington, Texas.

It is stupid for you to think this. . .he is the strongest man in Texas.

Same here bro... having seen the guy train once in person all I can say is the guy trains liking a fucking animal. His strength is unbelievable, and I doubt I'll ever observe anyone else top that workout.

It'd be nice if he could get himself back into his 98-99 condition before his pregnancy.

No shit. His waist is probably 40 in when in shape.

So what if Ronnies days are numbered?!?! Don not forget that he is no 30 year old... Naturally he must retire in a couple of years. Despite this i think he is one of the greatest bodybuilders up to date. Four men i personally believe will go down and be remembered in this sport. These are Arnold, Haney, Dorian, and Ronnie. After reading many of his interviews i am and seen The Unbelievable i am very impressed by his immense dedication to doing what he loves best, lifting shitloads of weight. I would like to wish Ronnie all the best for the 2004 olympia an olympia which i believe would hold many surprises...
