He says, “I had the time of my life up there on that Olympia stage and it will most definitely be an experience that I will never ever forget.” However, the road to success has been exceptionally difficult for Coleman as before winning the Mr. Olympia titles, he found it difficult to even make ends meet.

Ronnie Coleman survived on the bare minimum

Ronnie Coleman began by delivering pizzas to earn money. He said the times got so bad that not only was I delivering pizza; I had to deliver newspapers to make ends meet. He was in such a condition that he could barely afford to buy food. He used to survive on the Pizzas Dominos offered him as their delivery boy.

He worked over 12 hours a day so that he could at least get a proper meal, but that never happened. He also shared that he would often trade food with other fast-food chains like Burger King, Popeyes, and KFC, just so he would not get bored having the same food daily. Well, the struggle and his unwavering dedication to make it to the top really paid off for him. What do you think about the story of Ronnie Coleman? Share with us in the comments section below!
