@Bitterman He claims that his organs are all fine. I mean it is possible that everything is OK if his organ health had been monitored all the while. When he was taking all the test. and HGH he received from the doctors he was being monitored then. In the Netflix documentary he says he takes 5-6 30mg oxycodone per day. That's definitely a lot, and I can't imagine how tough it must've been once he developed a tolerance to it and the pain management he received from the opiates started to plateau. But when you're on those meds they monitor your liver closely. So if he's still on them, his liver is probably holding up alright. Part of me though feels like some of the surgeries might have made him worse off. Not sure, but there's a weird vibe I get from the doctors in the documentary, like they know the surgeries are not helping that much...

If he listened to the doctors and STOPPED training before and after surgery to let his body recover properly, he would not be in this porr state. It was his improper training that put him in this poor situation in the first place. And now look at him? He is stubborn, but it's a stupid kind of stubborn, not a smart determination. There is a huge difference.

If Ronnie didn't have the genetics he has and the decades of hardwork he put in to reach that epitome of human body, no one, absolutely no one could've survived so many severe surgeries and injuries and still smile through the unimaginable pain, let alone carry on going to the gym. Absolute mad respect for this guy. Having a father or grandpa like him would be a blessing.

My skeleton is fucked up too, man. Grappling, karate and weights.

My dad is in a similar situation as Ronnie, multiple spinal fusions, protruding disks, hernias, etc. and man, it’s tough for him. It’s tough for me to see as well. He was also a bodybuilder and before that, a powerlifter. He was so strong when I was a kid, but he gets weaker with time. Mentally though, he remains undaunted through it all. The surgeries just keep coming every few years, the leg numbness gets better for a time but it eventually starts deteriorating again. The surgeries just keep you mobile, they don’t really help the pain, if anything, they make it worse. You just have to choose between mobility and pain. His X-ray pictures look just like Ronnies. He doesn’t sleep well at all, that’s also part of what comes along with that chronic pain. I worry if he’ll ever hit his breaking point and mentally reach the limit but it doesn’t seem like he will. I hope I’m right.

Americans and Europeans are easily fooled into going for surgery for something as simple as herniated disc. All you need to do is - give it time to heal. And during that time - never lift weights but do a lot of stretches to aid the disc to heal naturally. Once you do a surgery on the spine - it is always like dominoes, you will keep doing one after other as the artifical fusion of spine keeps crippling the rest of the spine.

It's not just the personal identity aspect that makes it hard to quit. Once your body adapts to a certain level of activity, it NEEDS that continued stimulus to stay healthy. That's part of why Ronnie hurt himself when coming back from a break.

Yeah, that's exactly why I max deadlift 225. I mean, I COULD lift like 600 for reps, but I just know I've gotta keep my ego in check. 😏😉😁

I love Ronnie. Always so positive even tho he’s in constant pain.

Ronnie Coleman was the absolute best not just because he was Mr.Olympia so many times but his work ethic couldnt be matched by anyone else ! Love Ronnie Coleman , its truly sad he had these issues that really slowed him down .

I once had a poster of Ronnie in my garage...had to take it down because my car wouldn't fit in there anymore. True story.....

You do realise Ronnie kept working out post surgery against the doctors advise and that's what led to him needing more surgeries. Dudes doing damage to his own body, don't blame the doctor

I feel like Ronnie is a brother in arms.I'm 51 and been lifting and doing combat sports like wrestling, boxing, MMA, BJJ, Muay Thai etc. since I was 15-years old. Herniated disks, broken hands (3x times, once bad enough to have a slight deformity though not really noticable), torn and/or ruptured ligaments and tendons in both ankles, both knees, severe neck injuries (Dysreflexia) several widow-maker strokes, hundreds of TIAs over a 2-year period that stopped as suddenly as they started, Post-Concussion-Syndrome (CTE when you're alive), destroyed cauliflower riddled ears, scars over eyebrows, and on and on. I haven't stopped working out since I was 15-years old and I still work out every day, sometimes 2, even three times. While I look like an athlete, my body is a wreck and I feel it more and more everyday. Reinjuring and aggravating old injuries all the time. I love working out. Being hurt is just normal, though that attitude almost got me killed because in my first widomaker stroke I collapsed on the ground in my house and couldn't get up until the next day. I got up in spite of being confused and partially blind and went to work. The next stroke 2 weeks later put me in a coma for 3 days and I woke up and spent 3 weeks at Mass General re-learning to talk, type, walk, count, tell time, tell the difference between a spoon a fork, etc. After 2 weeks I could stand and I was doing Hindu Squats, wall push ups, lateral raises, curls, tricep curls, etc. with whatever I could pick up. I will be on my death bed and I'll be trying to workout.Once you are into that fitness lifestyle, it's a habit like any addiction I suppose and you can't break even if you try. I would say at least 2-3 days a weak, I do NOT want to work out at ALL. I will self-talk all the excuses, but I end up working out anyway, lol. I wish I could hug Ronnie. Listening to his story, sounds like mine, except for the hip replacement and fused spine which is BANANAS. Exercising is life. I'll take a break when I'm dead. Then I'll have all of eternity to rest.

Grow tf up it’s bigger than what you just want to do. After those strikes you need to just relax and enjoy the sun and breeze. What you’re describing is suicide without the weapon.

The thing is, a lot of guys that get into are honestly meatheads, especially those into powerlifting, bodybuilding and also the MMA/boxing crowd. A lot of it just comes down to ego, male insecurity, etc. I remember talking to a guy at the gym that was saying he was having elbow problems and I told him to just use the assisted pullup machine to slowly build back up. He then says that he'd be too embarassed to do it and continued to just doing regular pullups, further aggravating the tendons.

​@@oglocbaby520 They are absolute morons that's why. Been swimming and cycling for 30 years now and my body was always fine. Destroying your body is not working out. That's as stupid as it sounds.

I feel for him, I got 12 completely deteriorated discs, and had 7 surgeries on right shoulder - last one was a stemmed hemiplasty and they honed out rotator cuff & drilled 12 holes experimentally in marrow to bleed into joint for lubrication but the internal bleeding causes some pain, plus I'm missing 100% of cartilage in every major joint except for left hip 20-25% and left elbow 20-30% still left - due to have Relapsing Polychondritis while at the same time going thru 2 serious bouts of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever 7 years apart - the RMSF over ramped my Polychondritis and made my cartilage deteriorate 12 times faster than normal, it's been attacking my inner ears, trachea, floating ribs, and sternum the last 18 months... So after my last shoulder surgery I swore off anymore joint surgeries because it's a losing battle with me that I could never begin to afford & would never wanna saddle my wife & kids with whenever I'm gone. So honestly feel for him, cause when your working out you definitely aren't thinking your joints will be gone, not when you are a physical strength phenom like he was in the day. (On a side note, I only rarely discuss my condition on KZread, never on Facebook or in public because nobody wants to hear anyone bitching anyways, as I'm sure many on here want to either - altho it would be nice on occasion for friends/family & trolls on Facebook to realize that I didn't actually get on disability in 3 weeks because of some kind of farce, because when you try to not show it everyone leaps to assuming that you are just faking for social security only, double edged sword, nobody ever feels sorry for ya but also nobody ever feels bad for ya either. 😉😢😏🤫)

So many of us lift too heavy when young, then pay for it with increasing injuries a few years down the line. Good advice to young lifters is that unless you are training to be great i.e. bodybuilding competitions, powerlifting competitions, then pushing it to the limit probably isn't worth it in the long haul. Train like you can train for the rest of your life.

Yup. Screwed my shoulder in 20s (lifting). Despite quitting heavy lifting, the pain became Unbearable in 30s, PT, had 1st surgery, didn't work (despite extended rest and directed PT), underwent 2nd surgery (diff doc), didn't work (despite same recovery protocols), shoulder is chronically fatigued at rest and still in pain years after surgery.
