Ronnie Coleman is a retired professional bodybuilder. He is a 8-time consecutive winner of Mr.Olympia, and also won a record 26 titles as a IFBB professional. @RonnieColeman8
Marc Rigau It’s the mentality of a warrior. There’s people doing much worse than Ronnie is physically, who spent their entire lives as accountants, admin assistant, or simply unemployed. And, the world will never know their name. Coleman managed to make himself a multimillionaire from a very humble upbringing in a small and somewhat obscure activity. And he did it while battling multiple roadblocks.

He was talking about the caliper test he knows he wasnt that lean but he has troubke getting his poiny across because of all the pain killers over the years
i wouldnt say hes clueless, the measurements probably did output -2. They are not made for someone 300lbs with what is essentially no fat. im 7.5% at 225, thats 15.75 lbs. given a good amount of that is around my organs (and my stomach), not even close to a contest-weight someone like him woulf be... at 295lbs 4% is 12lbs. which is pleanty to be sustainable. He would be at 1% for probably only 72hours the week of the contest
Joe: Ronnie the worlds about to end Ronnie: *well that’s alright* Joe: Ronnie we’re going to all die Ronnie: *yeah...well you just get used to it* Joe: Ronnie we’re all going to hell Ronnie: *well....that’s just what it is I guess* Joe: Ronnie we ar.... Ronnie: *YAAAH BUDDAY, LIGHT WEIGHTT*
Poor Ronnie, he endured so much pain. Wish Ronnie pain free and great health. He seems like a good person. Ronnie has the best and most positive attitude, He laughs at pain and all the surgeries. That is the best attitude to emulate
Hahahaha mine too. But to be honest. I have been bodybuilding for 18 years now and I have never heard anyone say that they want to be a bodybuilder. Even the people at the gym that bodybuild call it ‘fitness’. It’s a shame the sport has such a bad stigma. Drives me nuts. I’m a natural ectomorph and therefore will never be able to build an insane quadricep. People that hear me say that I do bodybuilding loooove pointing that out 😂
Franco Valle they absolutely do but me at 21 years old 190 6ft 1 of fairly solid muscle with a fair bit of fat tbh even with juice I’m never hitting the levels he did juice or no juice😂 wouldn’t want to either tbh but it’s still amazing
Started working out at 18ish at 165lbs now I'm 209lbs but at my prime like 26-27 235lbs 6.1ft I was huge and at 13%bf with the hand held machine. But now I'm 32 three kids a wife, mortgage and business gotta find time to lift peanuts.
I love those guys. I remember when I was addicted to going to the gym from Monday to Monday and watching Ronnie Coleman's movies for inspiration. I'm overweight now but after this interview I got inspired to hit the gym right after this. Here we go!
After describing all his surgeries, "Did you have any regrets? " "Yeah I did have regrets... I regretted not going heavier" 😳😂 That's why this guy's a legend.
@The Enlightenment Stories He was a cripple because he played football, the lifting didnt help, but i guess he did what he wanted which made him happy People risk their life all the time, mma fighters, football players, marines, etc.
@The Enlightenment Stories I've seen multiple interviews with Ronnie and they always ask him if he regrets lifting the way he did because of all his injuries now and he always tells them none. 8x Mr. Olympia and possibly the GOAT of bodybuilding is no easy feat for anyone to accomplish. That's just the champion mindset this man has.

You could tell a few times that Joe was having a hard time holding back his skepticism about some of Ronnie’s responses, but he politely rolled with it :)
Definitely! Having had multiple injuries and surgeries myself, including 4 on my spine and needing a fifth, it was definitely difficult listening to Mr. Coleman trying to answer Joe’s questions about his. All good.
Coleman's mental fortitude surpasses his physical strength by a million times... imagine going through everything he went through and still smile and laugh and be cheerful like everything is normal... legend,role model and GOAT of bodybuilding...❤️
Joe is definitely paid off. Saying cops are necessary? HA for who rich white people who hate blacks?? Everytime we call the cops in lower class neighborhoods the cops threaten us and take a family member to jail and give them charges so they cant work and support our family anymore! DISBAND ALL POLICE HIRE SOCIAL WORKERS AND HAVE A FEW MILITARY FOR SHOOTINGS!
Man I just love this guy. Of all the interviews you've done, this one sure made me smile the most. This guy is just so likeable and has such an incredible story.
Joe: Lifting heavy is controversial in the bodybuilding community, why do you do it? Ronnie: I like it. Plain and Simple. Ronnie seems like a genuine guy. Great interview.
Arnold: i want to be the greatest, Jay: i have a dream, Dorian: no one train as hard as me, Kai: i (...philosophies rant...) and there is Ronie: FREE MEMBERSHIP BABY!
Tôi là con hải sâm is literally in constant pain actually constant agony an it’s fine he can still train and do what he loves. That’s a beautiful mindset concentrate on the positives an deal with the negatives by concentrating on the positives
21:08 "You know when you're doing something that you truly love enjoying doing, that's what you look forward to doing all the time... Of course I'm feeling pain and all that kind of stuff but as long as I'm doing what I love doing I'm okay."

Well thankfully you don't make the fucking rules. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Ronnie Coleman is a legend and has accomplished more than you could ever hope to.
This is the best interview I've seen Ronnie do. He was really candid about everything and he still has that championship mentality. No doubt he will walk again. Yeah buddy!
I think he said 75 times that he has good genetics and he's "naturally talented", that's actually the opposite of beeing humble. + all that bullshit about 0.3% bodyfat and never been sick lol
Joe rogan is amazing! He got really concerned about Ronnie hearing about his surgeries and offered to connect him to his doctor, he knows what a legend this man is and respects him to the core that’s a beautiful thing to see
To this day he will not say that lifting had added to the damage he already had in his back. He always says that had nothing to do with it, he always says it didn’t do any extra damage, it didn’t make things any worse. Gotta love him for believing that truly.
You can do my taxes Ronnie 🤣 Could you imagine walking into an accounting office and Ronnie’s just sitting there bursting out of his shirt asking how many deductions you’re claiming this year 🤣🤣🤣 BEAST. 😂
RC is such a positive person. Even though he’s had all those surgeries and the amount of pain he’s in, he’s in a wheel chair most of the time and yet he continues to workout and live life with a positive attitude and never complains. He’s a role model and a legend no doubt!
He may have destroyed his body by doing what his mind wanted to do. At least he didn't destroy his mind by not doing what his body didn't want to do. And that is a truly sad realty
@@thewintersoldier8387 yeah I don't believe that for a second tbh :P same with his "when I was 3% I was good and fat by my standards!" ... Get the fuck out of here. He's an absolute legend, one of the best bodybuilders of all time. But the man absolutely exaggerates stuff.
@@christianekman dude dieted for 8-12 weeks FOR THE OLYMPIA. If he was off on his bf% so what. He wasnt over 5% at any point. He was shredded even in the offseason
Shaxx he is a legend because he is a 8 time Mr.Olympia,him and Lee Haney are the only ones in history to win the Olympia 8 times. Now lets see you win at least 1 mr.olympia before you act like a smartass in the comment section
Notice how he never feels bad for himself... "You just get used to it"

Man I just love this guy. Of all the interviews you've done, this one sure made me smile the most. This guy is just so likeable and has such an incredible story.
This guy is the only reason I follow body building he made it cool.
yaah buddayy Ronnie Coolman
@Kurt Rustle Arnold was about beauty and aesthetics, Ronnie was pure power and strength.
Oh yeah , listening to this guy ring off his surgeries sounds real cool , i mean , totally boss man ! How can i be like him ?
@@daveyboy_ He‘s a legend and it was never easy to be one.
Joe looking at progression pictures: Damn you were big!
Ronnie: That's not even my final form.
🤣
Dude, grow up.
R G and this is the internet stupid !
😂
me: where tf are all the 45 plates at?
*sees ron in the corner* "YEEEEEAAA BUDDDAYYYY"
me: ok ill come back tomorrow
LIGHT WEIGHT BABY

Lol Hahahahahahaha

Joe: Lifting heavy is controversial in the bodybuilding community, why do you do it?
Ronnie: I like it.
Plain and Simple. Ronnie seems like a genuine guy. Great interview.
'i did it for the free gym memership' coleman 2020
yes he is so humble and honest... I would never have heard about this man otherwise but he is a very cool guy
Apparently, some people do wanna lift heavy ass weights
Feds looking for drugs
Joe: How did they find the steroids
Ronnie: you showed them
Damn that’s what he said
Did he really say that
@@TheBurntRelic he sure fucking did lol
"If you're an athlete, you're in pain all your life"
Felt that
Truest words ever
My hip hurts right now
Or if you work a job for a living
@Dunk Your Trunk In The Funk! Or stupid
@@fattmo7217 for not smart people!
Despite the pain, Ronnie still keeps working out because of his free membership.
Lol!
Arnold: i want to be the greatest, Jay: i have a dream, Dorian: no one train as hard as me, Kai: i (...philosophies rant...) and there is Ronie: FREE MEMBERSHIP BABY!
So fucking inspired rn. Damn
Tôi là con hải sâm is literally in constant pain actually constant agony an it’s fine he can still train and do what he loves. That’s a beautiful mindset concentrate on the positives an deal with the negatives by concentrating on the positives
“Flex wheeler.. my best friend” saw flex’s interview and he said the same thing. Both of them are Goats!
Joe: Did you have a dream?
Ronnie: noo no no, i just did it because i got a free membership to the gym, i never had a dream
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
sounds like something saitama would say lmao ronnie is a goat
“If your an athlete, your in pain all your life”. Absolute warrior and legend
I felt that one
You’re
I understand completely, i play video games 8 hours straight and masturbate atleast 20 times a day. Its hard being an athlete
Facts
You're.
"I started getting serious after I won my first Olympia"
U wot mate?
🤣🤣🤣
Big Ronnie was destined to be Mr Olympia
Joe: So... Do you ever tried DMT?
Ronnie : You get used to it.
Ron's 'happy go lucky' approach to life is awesome. Always looking on the bright side of life, even with his medical problems. God bless big Ron!
“Why did you have to lift so much weight?” -Joe
“Because I could!” -Ronnie
Says it all!
The guy is a total class act and a legend. loved this interview.
💯 agree, he's a gorgeous human teddy bear. love him
His Doc on Netflix is dope too he's amazing.
21:08 "You know when you're doing something that you truly love enjoying doing, that's what you look forward to doing all the time... Of course I'm feeling pain and all that kind of stuff but as long as I'm doing what I love doing I'm okay."
For anyone that hasn’t seen “The cost of redemption” u should watch it and see how Ronnie’s life was during training.
It’s great.
He's just a beautiful positive person. You can see it in every answer he gives. No self-pity, just chuckles and living his life.
Great Attitude
Joe hooking him up with a doctor is some of the good vibes we need right now
“Everyone wants to be a body builder...
but ain’t nobody wanna lift that heavy ass weight!”
It's interesting to hear him talk. In most of his interviews, he seems to be much more proud of his strength than anything else. It's so pure.
Ronnie responded to a call at my apartment back in the 90's and all I could think was there was a damn mountain in my living room. Dude was HUGE!
That’s fuckin awesome lol
Ahahaha!
No fuckin way haha.. What was the call about?..
@@tenchotenchev5606 I mean he will end up saying that to nearly 98% of the world population.
On today’s episode of things that didn’t happen
"I started small" *points to a picture of a grown man* "That's me in the 9th grade on the left"
9th grade I was skinnyfat and had crappy posture. I guess I wasn't lifting heavy ass weights enough.
9th. Grade.
Lmao fr
@crescian medston you'd be surprised
@@TheSlushy no its because he has elite genetics and youre average
Ronnie: "I had nutritionist"
His nutritionist: (animal breeder)
Is that for real?
@@BoxingTheologian Joking but I imagine someone who would be nutritionist for him, would also be able to work with bulls and other cattle.
lol funny you had to explain and break this joke down but you did so in such a dignified manner without making tiptop feel stupid. .. Class act there mark de marco
► 6 Hardcore Holiday Workouts
: bbcom.me/36DSp2E
Don't feel guilty about extra holiday calories; put them to use! Here's how three MET-Rx athletes work out during the holidays so they can have their pecan pie and eat it, too.
Ronnie: "Never thought I'd compete"
...wins 8 Mr.Olympias 🤣
This is a podcast that should be 4 hours long with this living legend!
yep. Aint nothing to it but to do it
But we get 4 hour talk with a unknown band.
DU GAAAAAMLLLAAA DUU FRIIIIAAAA DUUUU FJÄÄÄLL HÖGA NOOOORD ;)
He’s not necessarily the greatest at carrying conversation
@@eclemente79 exactly this guy is a legend and literally gave his body for the sport and is the greatest ever!
It seems to me that self-made and accomplished people are almost always humble.
Lol Yngwie Malmsteen would like to have a word with you
Not rappers. lol
@@RandomGuy010 that's because rappers are almost never self-made.
*claims 0.33% and negative % body fat*
@@zankfrappa6427 That's one guy out of most there's a difference between the exception and the rule
“I only did it to get free membership to the gym” Ronnie is such a legend! Lovely guy too
JR: so what’s your spine made of Ronnie?
RC: a metal pole “chuckles” light weight baby.
This conversation has been way more insightful than I could've imagined.
J W Personally I want JRE to pivot more towards public intellectuals. This was painful.
Well thankfully you don't make the fucking rules. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Ronnie Coleman is a legend and has accomplished more than you could ever hope to.
this pod was great
@@chamade166 That's exact reason why JRE is so popular...He doesn't have one lane
I canceled my gym membership. Only body weight exercises.
Joe: so how much did you lift?
Ronnie: yup
Just lightweight buddy
nothing but a peanut
@@richardsmerud8056 no soul food here... punk fish!
Thoughts j in n I’m
😭
Half of his thirteen hour surgery was probably the nurses trying to flip him over on his other side...
This is the best interview I've seen Ronnie do. He was really candid about everything and he still has that championship mentality. No doubt he will walk again. Yeah buddy!
this man is the essence of dedication and being humble. Ronnie is and forever will be a legend like no other.
Very humble
I think he said 75 times that he has good genetics and he's "naturally talented", that's actually the opposite of beeing humble. + all that bullshit about 0.3% bodyfat and never been sick lol
unknown user it is if you’re a guy
Abdi haha atta boy !!!!
@@murdechoc no it's not. Your language comprehension is terrible.
Joe is a savage for interviewing the largest cop ever during a revolution about police brutality
Lol this is why I stay tuned the fuck in
Erm, he's black lol
Lololol
@@darthvaper6745 What he is? I thought he was just wearing that bodybuilding spray tan.
Pretty sure he was strong enough looking to not have to brutalize people g.
Joe - "Sowhat type of steroids were dudes doing back in those days?"
translation - So what type of steroids were you doing back in those days?
“I’m taking them to Burger King every day.” Don’t do that Ronnie lol
Men I was like "did he really say Burger King???" XD
“I’m gonna walk again unassisted, I guarantee you that”
And he will
Ain't nothin' but a peanut.
ok
Be that do that 👍🏽👍🏽🙏🏾
Champion mentality
Joe: You ran on the treadmill??"
Ronnie: "Well i ain't gonna call it running!!"
Best comment ever.
Time stamp?
@@andyw8064 ikr these clowns who write parts of the video out and don't timestamp it are the worst
It's at 1:30:25
This flew over my head. Can somebody please explain?
@@andyw8064 1:30
@@ralpiiboy you wrote it wrong broseph
“I never had to use my nightstick on anybody”
“😂 well, c’mon “
😂😂😂
Joe rogan is amazing! He got really concerned about Ronnie hearing about his surgeries and offered to connect him to his doctor, he knows what a legend this man is and respects him to the core that’s a beautiful thing to see
So humble. Makes me get a lump in my throat when he talks. Such a beautiful heart.
Indeed; I actually teared up. Seems like a great guy; I can't imagine the pain
Ok relax, not that serious
@@fitterkrueger1524
U relax ur not that serious
I don't think his heart would look very beautiful considering all the roids he was on lmao
Smurfa domin it is its just big
Joe: you had a bunch of back surgeries, what started that off?
Ronnie: my back hurt....
Mike Tyson: Spinal
Lmao
To this day he will not say that lifting had added to the damage he already had in his back. He always says that had nothing to do with it, he always says it didn’t do any extra damage, it didn’t make things any worse. Gotta love him for believing that truly.
@@wahiedali5941 Even if its completely false. He wont accept that his biggest joy in life caused it. 🤷♂️
@@FlipGuitarist80 looooooooool
You can do my taxes Ronnie 🤣
Could you imagine walking into an accounting office and Ronnie’s just sitting there bursting out of his shirt asking how many deductions you’re claiming this year 🤣🤣🤣
BEAST. 😂
I bet the accounting world is now sorry they didn’t hire him 🤣
“Ended up with a bloody nose, bloody mouth and his arm ripped out of its socket a little bit” lol
Hahah that was epic
RC is such a positive person. Even though he’s had all those surgeries and the amount of pain he’s in, he’s in a wheel chair most of the time and yet he continues to workout and live life with a positive attitude and never complains. He’s a role model and a legend no doubt!
Yeah I met people missing both arms and legs and having the same positivity also!
Not my definition of a role model
He may have destroyed his body by doing what his mind wanted to do. At least he didn't destroy his mind by not doing what his body didn't want to do. And that is a truly sad realty
@@francoisfrancois7353 There is a limit to stupidity
The whole interview I didn't hear anything negative come out of his mouth. Incredible.
So how does getting shot with a 9mm feel?
"You get used to it."
LMAO
Beautiful 😂😂
This actually made me bust out laughing when i read this comment.
Seriously, this dude is the most stoic guest on JRE yet?
Ronnie: "I just kept going for free membership, I ain't giving it up" ahha, LEGEND!
Ronnie Coleman's life story: "I liked working out, walked into mister Olympia and won it. Then i started trying..."
it took almost ten years for Ronnie to win the Olympia.
He was naturally gifted. Dude was fuckin massive in high school. Same with Jay
@@thewintersoldier8387 yeah I don't believe that for a second tbh :P same with his "when I was 3% I was good and fat by my standards!" ... Get the fuck out of here. He's an absolute legend, one of the best bodybuilders of all time. But the man absolutely exaggerates stuff.
@@christianekman dude dieted for 8-12 weeks FOR THE OLYMPIA. If he was off on his bf% so what. He wasnt over 5% at any point. He was shredded even in the offseason
BigTyronie yep guys had striated glutes even in the offseason
Ronnie is one of the most humbling people I have ever heard
couldn't agree more. Watched a shorter vid earlier and decided to watch the whole thing
Ya he's cool as shit...
Joe is such a compassionate, helpful, genuine person. Warms my heart.
Man I love Ronnie the motivation this man has given me at the gym. Can’t ever thank him enough.
“Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but nobody wants to lift no heavy-ass weights.”
Ronnie Coleman = The GOAT
More like Belgium Bull
@Seok Ha Chang lol u don't just get big by stereoids dude.
BUT I DO THOUGH
But don't nobody*
@@lordduke2959 exactly PED's don't work if you don't work just like a car wont drive faster if it has more gasoline it can only drive further
you gotta realize you’re listening to a legend speak. There will never be another Ronnie Coleman.
///M Ⓜ️ very true
Facts
Pain tolerance for him is "damn, I have to have multiple spine fusion surgeries."
@Shaxx this podcast episode isnt for you buddy
Shaxx he is a legend because he is a 8 time Mr.Olympia,him and Lee Haney are the only ones in history to win the Olympia 8 times. Now lets see you win at least 1 mr.olympia before you act like a smartass in the comment section
Ronnie Coleman on his herniated disc: It was like “payyyah” like a gunshot sound. I heard it and I felt it....
Me: “AINT NOTHIN BUT A PEANUT!”
Bought one of his DVD's around 15 years ago. Never whining. Just shutting up and working his ass off. Before squats: "Hit me"
