I downloaded the unbelieveable I do believe that has his 2 reps of 805. It wasn't with the best form, and he used straps, but good lord that is a lot of weight. I for one will not discriminate because I couldn't pick up half of that weight (I know powerman can come decently close). Ronnie Coleman is a strong guy, but Andy Bolton and others are phenominal.

Did you hear Ronnie say that he was only 5 1/2 weeks out from the 'O' when he pulled that weight. I think that makes it even more impressive. Special note, Mr. Bolton is not on anywhere near the amount of gear that RC is on when they each completed those lifts.

I agree. That fact that he pulled that weight, straps or not, that close to the Olympia is very impressive. There is no doubt in my mind that if Ronnie continued his career as a powerlifter that he would have had just as much success as he's had as a bodybuilder.

I have seen that before but could not tell what he was saying that time. That does make it pretty impressive.

Ronnie sounds like Chris Tucker lol. Holy crap is that a lot of weight, both of those videos!

and you know exactly what both of those gentlemens cycles consisted of?? thats kind of a BROAD statement you made there, I mean how do you know how much gear big Ron is taking, everyone always assumes that the biggest guy must take the most gear, and that is no where near the truth.

I don't know, but since I've been in and around PLers for over 20 years I know what amounts of gear that are most typically used and I would be willing to bet the farm that Bolton doesn't use anywhere near the amount of gear that RC does. In fact, I do know that many BBers stay on gear year round and many PLers only go on a cycle when preparing for a comp. So, no comps, no gear. This of course is only based on my experience living in So Cal and being around many pro bbers and world class PLers. I was a pretty fair PLer myself once. Its amazing the kinds of things that you can learn just by paying attention.

pfft you guys are to easily impressed, i e-warm up with thier weight ez :sleepey: ...

lol

**Trick D** · 07-16-2005, 01:43 AM

You got to also remember that Ronnie Coleman may or may not take steroids have unbelieveable strength gains. Powerlifters don't take testosterone/HGH because they don't need to gain size, they need the strength gains, like halotestin (spelling?)and others. Just my opinion.

I think it is very hard to compare their two recreational habits. They are totally different in my opinion.

**johnsbod** · 07-16-2005, 02:05 AM

Regardless of what Ronnie takes or the straps, it's still an impressive lift.

AaronM · 07-16-2005, 03:32 AM

:abuse: That was a great motivator! Today is back day...didn't have anyone to slap me though :abuse:

AaronM · 07-16-2005, 03:39 AM

The funny thing is that I just got done reading a post about how Keith Wassung sets his weight down very slowly because he didn't want to send out waves while he was on a Nuclear Sub. Then, I watch this video with Ronnie just letting that 805lbs fall, haha.

I am here to tell you that PLers most definitely take Testosterone.
