I've been watching Ronnie Coleman in The Relentless & he doesn't weigh his food at all. That plus the fact he has his food topped with massive amounts of sauce.

I would have thought that the World's no 1 bodybuilder would weigh his food to a 'T'.

For example, he goes to a restaurant & just orders some food and when it arrives there's loads of sauce etc on it and it hasn't even been weighed out.

I'm currently watching that, and I too was surprised by it.

Maybe now that he lost to Jay in Olympia this past year that will be one thing he'll focus on more

Did you see the part where he was making his burgers? Damn, the amount of BBQ sauce he put on them and his chicken was shocking.

And the bit where he was taking all of the tomatoes out of his rice and dumping it on the table, WTF Ronnie!

When you're eating like 7-8k calories a day, some BBQ sauce probably doesn't mean a whole hell of a lot.

Maybe he took winning Olympia for granted? No offense to him, but after winning it so many times in a row maybe he "let his guard down", and it ended up costing him.

But I mean yeah...I saw some of that and just thought "Holy shit Ronnie"

lol, yeah there's that. I was just surprised at the amount of sauce he had with all his meals.

I assume come contest time he weighs his food etc?

I thought that before, but there's probably many reasons why he didn't win it this time round.

Some people say it's because of corrupt judges, some say it was down to his stomach again, etc.

Most likely. I'm sure he has a lot of wiggle room since the significance of 100 calories in his diet is way less than it is to someone eating 3k calories a day, but I don't know that you can really get into Olympia-ready shape without weighing your food.

I was thynkin' bout thys thread for no reason... I just had to pitch in that -

I thynk Ronnie lost the Olympia because of his left lat size discrepancy... not because he didn't weigh is food...

With that being said.. - Yep, I do weigh my food ... I'm dayum near paranoid about it..

Peace..~G

For most of the day his BBQ sauce was his only carb, he could get away with it.

Sorry to take this off-topic, but I haven't seen Relentless yet.

Is it as boring as Cost of Redemption? (training aside)

I don't want to shell out £25 and have to spend half the DVD watching Ronnie sat there eating silently.

ptest

If you look back to his original DVD he wasn't weighing his chicken that he was eating with BBQ sauce back then either...he probably can eyeball it at this point.

DJSTARER

^^^ what he said.


i used to weigh everything, but after a while you learn to site.

when ur on as much HGH as those guys, and you have such gifted genetics, BF doesn't stick.

Those parts are during his off season. In the video, when he is cutting, he doesn't do that stuff.
