Ronnie

He's so funny at times, unintentionally

His voice, his mannerisms and how he speaks, in particular when he's saying his body fat "I was at 3 percent, 2 percent, I was at -2 actually, negative body fat percentage"

He can't possibly be being serious with such comments but he's keeping a straight face through it all.
 
I'm a little bitch that gets my feelings hurt very easy because I have the testosterone level of a 13 year old girl and the e2 levels of a 6 month pregnant female

There. Fixed your post for you.

Seriously, you got ass hurt because someone else posted the same thing you did.

Imagine that. I mean someone else made that video for their YT channel and yet you posted it up. Think the original YT channel got all ass hurt when you posted it here?

"But it's not FAIR !!! I posted it FIRST"

Fucking retard.

He said .3% bf as in 3/10ths of a percent body fat, which is physically impossible if I'm not mistaken.
 
ALL humans NEED some body fat "stores" as the brain, nerves, adrenal, sex hormones and cells etc require fat in one form or another for proper functioning.

And while it may be possible to achieve fat stores (adipose tissue) of less than 2% the benefit, if any , are not demonstrable physiologically

Mr Strebal's BF was reportedly confirmed by a DEXA scan at 2.4%, it's important to know even though DEXA scan has a margin of error of 1-2%, it remains the most accurate means of estimating total BF.

And while RC TBF was obviously low he fails to mention the methodology used to determine TBF .

Judge for yourself

To be fair, that Ronnie pic looks like it's from an off season guest appearance, but still, his sub 1% body fat claim was a little silly.

Agreed the PIC is a poor representation of RCs prime but RC's goal as BB was consistent with that era in which SIZE mattered more than definition.

In contrast Strebal, specifically focused on limiting TBF.

IDK what his TBF was in that PIC as he appears somewhat "bloated" which, as you know, is a common side effect of certain PED's and/or dietary changes that many Pro BB are willing to accept especially during the off season.

That being said RC was a man among boys and deservedly earned multiple Mr-O crowns .

I actually wouldn't be surprised if that was what the report said for whatever methodology was used to test him.

There is no form of bf % testing that is going to be 100% accurate and it gets even worse when you're an extreme body type like Ronnie Coleman. You can see some really unusual numbers all over the place though too... There have been some tests on pro strongman athletes too that would make you raise your eyebrows.

I think Ronnie just doesn't really know any better. I'm kind of surprised that Joe didn't know any better either.
 
Agreed

This video is well worth listening to in it's entiriety, as RC clarifies HOW and WHY he was able to become a very well liked, respected and successful BB.

GREAT VID!
