Why does ronnie coleman say lightweight

Arnold Schwarzenegger had taken the sport global in the s but the weights Coleman lifted were on another level. And he was doing it with relative ease, with repetitions. He stopped competing a few years later and soon began suffering from chronic injuries to hips — both of which have been replaced — and his lower back.

But for his overall wellbeing, I think he needs to keep working out. But Coleman insists it was responsible for his success. Especially when the hips went and he had to use a walker. That was tough for me. After his most recent surgery in September this year Coleman excitedly told his 2.

His life is by no means a complete disaster. He is happily married with four children and started a supplement company that now turns over north of 15 million dollars every year and allows him to travel the globe attending bodybuilding events.

The clip is accompanied by a message to his fans, insisting that he won't be doing any weights soon. Nothing serious, just cardio, no lifting no weights whatsoever. That's for damn sure!!

Doing it on any day though, whether Christmas, New Years or Thanksgiving. It's all about staying dedicated, and doing what it takes to accomplish those goals of getting healthy and healed. In his heyday, Coleman revolutionised body building by maintaining the symmetry and composition of the sport's best while blowing them away with his incredible size.

His Mike Tyson-like lisp, laidback demeanour and catchphrases like "lightweight baby" and "yeah buddy" made him a huge fan favourite.

He stopped competing a few years later and soon began suffering from chronic injuries to hips — both of which have been replaced — and his lower back. At this point, he'd had so many operations surgeons are forced to cut through the front of his body — temporarily removing his intestines — because there's so much scar tissue in his back.

In an interview with bodybuilding magazine Muscular Development in October, admitted fearing never being able to walk again. Caused a lot of damage to my body. I don't know if I'll be able to walk but I'm going to give it my best shot. I think if that surgeon had performed these surgeries right I would have been walking a long long time ago," Coleman says.
