Bodybuilding?icon?Ronnie Coleman?earned the ultimate fame in the sport’s sphere after having claimed the maximum number of Mr. Olympia titles. Interestingly, the athlete regained the spotlight after his?workout with legend Arnold Schwarzenegger?went viral on social media recently. Still keeping up with his finesse, Coleman stunned the Austrian Oak with his pump. However, back in the day, his regime was so intense during the pre-game preps that he did not want to continue with it after winning the titles.

A YouTube interview with Bradley Martyn once featured Coleman discussing his recovery methods. The star athlete revealed that he went for a fixed period of break time after every?Mr. Olympia?win, with no diet or workout objectives.

Ronnie Coleman used to chill after Mr. Olympia

In a segment of the interview on Bradley Martyn?s Raw Talk, the 59-year-old pro was once asked what he did for recovery, apart from the stem cell treatment he is getting done now. Coleman shared that he took three months off from all the hard work and just chilled out “every single year.”?However, this was only after he won the Mr. Olympia, which means he kept doing it for eight years straight.?

“I’m chilling, no working out, no cardio, no diet, nothing?that worked like a charm for me,”?he said. The IFBB champion further added that resting was equal to recovering in three months. Coleman revealed that he would go on vacations to exotic locations or on cruises. After marking Aruba and Jamaica as his favorite vacation spots, The King emphasized that his primary motive was to simply do nothing at that time.

The pro added,?“I was trying to last as long as I possibly can, yeah, without burning out.”?Fast forward to the present, and Coleman stunned?Arnold?with his still-jacked frame.
