Ronnie Coleman Doing 800lbs Deads and 400lbs. Bench [VIDEO]
 

A little further down the page there's a link to the bench press clip where he benches 2x 200lbs dumbbells. Amazing how he throws them away like the weigh nothing.

First time I'm hearing him talk too, hope it's the last time coz he's fucking annoying!

Wow nobody likes bodybuilding?

Gotta love his gym, dirty as hell, no showers. No AC and its in Arlington TX lol

haha, you are right, he is annoying. He's fucking amazing though.

I enjoyed the game :winkwink:

dont buy his videos. its pure torture. he has the personality of a turnip and when/if he talks, his voice is almost as obnoxious as mike tysons

i wish I could lift that much but I'd NEVER want to be that big

Nasty...

Cool video. I've never heard him before either, hurts my ears.

Don't worry, you will never be that big no matter how hard or much you lift.

Coleman is a living inspiration. My best was 600lb deadlift and I know if I train I can get an 800. That's my forte' are deadlift, bench press. I hit 420 on the bench and although I'm half a foot taller than Coleman I'm nowhere near as defined. I'm naturally strong like my relatives so that's a step up. The amount of dedication it takes to achieve what Coleman has as well as any pro powerlifters and bodybuilders is astounding to say the least.

Ronnie is an animal - but I still like watching Franco Columbo - that guy was tiny but could fucking deadlift like no one else - remember in Pumping Iron when he went around moving cars? - fucking sick

In one of the DVDs Coleman talks about how the owner Brian Dobson of this crappy gym "discovered" him. One day Coleman walked in and signed up for $29 bucks monthly membership. The owner guy is an amateur bodybuilder himself and spotted Coleman who walked in with 20" arms and veins on his quads visible through his pants - without ever having competed before. He immediately saw the potential in Coleman and told him "I think you could be a world champion".

The rest is history, 8 Olympia titles later Coleman still works out in that crappy gym although he could move to New York or LA and get paid nice checks to workout in the latest Gold- or Worldgyms. Yea, this brotha doesn't come with Arnold's personality, but you gotta respect his ethics and dedication.

Deeaaamnn! That's a strong dude! 12 reps of 400 is scary! Why are you guys complaining about his voice? He sounds normal to me.

Thing that scared me about him and Lee Haney is they're both cops. Same as legendary Sergio Oliva. Can you imagine being pulled over by one of them for fucking up????

I'm off to the gym.

True to that!!!

I could barely make it through 5 minutes of watching him train, he's so annoying

That's cool for sure, 9 out of 10 would immediately grab the check
