Ronny Rockel 52 years old

[luki7788]

The fact that the guy looks great for his age is an understatement

 

[Dutch1909]

He still carries a lot of mass and is in great shape. I was impressed when I saw his post on insta the other day from this shoot.

He is back on using more gear again, he said in one of his recent german interviews.

at least he talks about it openly and doesn't force people to read a story about how he's growing on trt because instead of 2 he started eating 5 meals a day lol

Luki I can honestly see you looking like this, if not better, when you reach 52.

Guys the fact of the matter for many the desire is always there.. 52.. or 26.. doesn't matter.. rockel is no different.. call it crazy, stupid, irresponsible.. etc.. its still there.. they are bodybuilders.. even our " golden age" guys professing trt and a few ius are still pushing a bit behind the scenes.. its who they are..

I always thought Ronny got over looked. Beautiful physique, but mass monsters ruled then.

Can't agree more. Once you've been really bitten, over time, the lifestyle becomes part of who you are.

For many, the desire doesn't decrease in the slightest. For several years now as I approach late 40's it has been a constant struggle not to push bodyweight back up as that's what I really enjoy and have for over 3 decades.

We read everywhere how it's not sensible to carry on cranking after 40 and whilst sensible, it's so frustrating for someone who's passion still burns so much

One of my old favorites. Still killing it!

I totally forgot about this guy. He was a top 10 Olympian. Pissed me off when I saw a clip of him on some German tv show that was basically like their version of The View where all these ugly fat women mocked him for going to the gym and being so big.

I REALLY prefer the legs closer together stance that used to be more common vs the "ridging the horse" stance that seems to be in vouge these days.

Cows give stupid looks to the Rancher each day when he passes them as well, it is their nature.

I remember watching some of his training vids 13-15 years ago. I remember he trained in this small gym with like carpet and TechnoGym equipment and worked at a pretty quick pace with a decent amount of volume.

Most likely he didn't train like that when he was younger but he was at that time in his mid/late 30's.

Great physique!

 

[TrippplePPP]

I kind of remembering him saying in an article he only did front squats for some reason. I always appreciated this as I was only doing front squats for years due to back issues. He always had a wonderful physique.

 

[primobolan]

he's not killing it..........it's killing him.

read that again.

Virtually all posing is shit these days. Even the best posers are just meh. So much energy and effort trying to make their body look different than it actually is, no one just hits the fucking pose.
