Sorry for a stand alone post, but holy fucking what the fuck?!? I never knew this, and now cannot comprehend how this is possible.
For me 2001 ACRonnie 2003 was probably the greatest physique in Olympia/BB history.
He actually says he used to come off everything for 3 months after the OlympiaObviously he went completely off for long enough that his receptors have regained the sensitivity![]()

I would have less muscles then his left calveIf we all did exactly what ronnie did for 20 years, eating, drugs, training etc none of us would look anything like ronnie sadly.
Most people don't know this but the back issues that led to him being crippled didn't come from bodybuilding - they came from an injury while playing college football. To train through all that and hold together what many consider to be the greatest physique of all time is mind-boggling.Ronnie ended up in a wheel chair and on crutches for life he trained so hard. Better yet, he said it was worth every minute of it and wouldn’t change a thing if he could do it over.
Sure Ronnie had genetics, but show me a pro today with that worth ethic.
It’s going to be a while IMO before anyone is willing to go where Ronnie did to become and stay Mr. Olympia on any level.
Honestly, Nick I would say has that ethic. Just not the genetics.Ronnie ended up in a wheel chair and on crutches for life he trained so hard. Better yet, he said it was worth every minute of it and wouldn’t change a thing if he could do it over.

He also claims he was natural for his first Olympia appearance.He actually says he used to come off everything for 3 months after the Olympia
Ronnie always took 3 months off training and gear post Olympia. But imagine if he used that time as a rebound? My god
from what I have seen in videos, it sounds like both Hadi and Derek have a similar work ethic. Many of the other top pros rest on the laurels of their genetics. But I will happily eat crow if I am wrong in that statement.Honestly, Nick I would say has that ethic. Just not the genetics.
