Bodybuilding GOAT Ronnie Coleman Laughs Off Powerlifting Enthusiast’s Strange Deadlift Attempt, One That Could’ve Been Serious for Him

The G.O.A.T. of bodybuilding, Ronnie Coleman, is revered by his fans for his monstrous physique. The champion won eight Sandow trophies, surpassing even the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, a herniated disc during his prime cost him his after-retirement life. 

The King lost his mobility after a series of surgeries, but still trains at the gym and keeps his fans updated with his social media posts. His latest YouTube video is his reactions to the insane deadlifts done by fitness enthusiasts.

Ronnie Coleman reacts to the insane lifts of the bodybuilding community

The 8x Mr. Olympia has set the heights of the Mass Monster era of bodybuilding. His physique from his prime sent chills to the fitness world as they could witness the pumped-up muscles on the stage. Coleman built his prime physique by lifting mind-numbing weights at the gym.

In his latest YouTube video, Coleman observed some gym-goers performing deadlifts. Toward the end of the video, he came across a powerlifting enthusiast using a rather unusual deadlift technique. This man, sporting a black attire and a beard, was lifting heavy weights between his legs, a move that posed a potential risk of injury if executed incorrectly.

The stunt made Coleman burst into a laugh, and he commented, “I don’t know how people come up with.” When asked, “You ever done any of these lifts,” Coleman stated, “I’ve done all of them except for this,” referring to the last strange deadlift. True to this fact, the bodybuilding world is not unaware of his famous 800 lbs deadlift.

The King’s heavily weighted duties

Ronnie Coleman wanted a free gym membership, and this desire of his led him to bodybuilding events. But when he decided to become a professional bodybuilder, he left no stone unturned in his efforts to be the best. His 800 lbs deadlift and over-a-ton leg press are all examples of his capabilities.

But the legend never stated that his heavy training cost him too much. Despite being unable to walk post-retirement, Coleman once said, “The point is that heavy weight, perfect form, and optimal pump are all equal parts of the same equation. One is not more important than the other.”
