From what I read he had double hip replacement surgery and multiple back surgeries and before the operation he was still lifting weights.. da **** mane.

I know most hobby lifters shouldn't worry about these type of injuries for the most obvious reason but damn.. I don't ever wanna take a tour down lower back snap city drive.

Met him in 2011. Nice guy.

I used to watch Ronnie Coleman videos to psych myself up for the gym.

it's like playing sports competitively - you are trading some years off your life and you know it

in ronnie's case.. it didn't help that he was still trying to lift heavy after all his surgeries and chit

hahaha, got to love the guy. Despite what hes going through he still says something like this. I think it was 800lbs or so he did for the double. Regardless of how unlucky he currently is with his health problems hes still a massive inspiration.

I wonder if Larry Wheels is headed down this road.

He lifts insane weights while dieting down for a bb competition..

For him the risk was worth the accolades. I personally wouldn't do it, but at least he has something to show for all the damage. Was he really lifting heavy after the first few rounds of surgery? That's a little silly. Who wants to want live another 10-15 years as a adult-diaper wearing pensioner? I'd easily sacrifice some years for a more fruitful prime pet but not to the point where I cannot walk.

It's the Doctors fault. They didnt do dat der surgery right. It has nothing to do with the tech he was abusing over the years

all you techs should pay attention

pulling sloots in your 20's is not going to be worth the pain in your 50's , those sloots won't even be around

it will just be you and pain

This, he ruined his health in achievement not mediocrity and since health declines with respect to what damage is related to much of your lifestyle he's done something worthwhile

Sure, the rich that have access to better healthcare, food options, stress restriction, etc did it better

He's leaving behind a legacy as one of the GOATs. I don't think he regrets that at all.

Be nice to your siblings: they're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Enjoy your body: use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it: it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Look, I like lifting as much as most on this forum. And I enjoy lifting heavy weights, too. But you are straight up delusional if you don't think we'll all eventually suffer some consequences by lifting heavy ass weights for 20-30 years, especially without making some signficant adjustments to how we do it as we age. Ronnie was among the absolute GOAT ever and I respect what he accomplished in lifting, but let's be real about all this. Anyone who does any physical activity that rigorously for decades will eventually see some significant wear and tear on their bodies for it.
If you think Ronnie fukt his joints up from just lifting heavy then I suggest you Google some of the side effects of the supplements he was taking.

We're not talking tendinitis here, we're talking osteoporosis.

Lifting naturally actually strengthens bones.

You gain so much muscle with dat dere, that the joints and tendons/ligaments can't keep up with the weights being used. All gear abusers have pain issues in their later years. At least Ronnie won beauty pageants.
