Ronnie Coleman, the legendary eight-time Mr. Olympia, recently shared his thoughts on YouTuber Will Tennyson attempting his intense 6000-calorie diet. Coleman reminisced about the good old and revealed that eating 6000 calories was tough for him as well, but he did it anyway.

Coleman uploaded a video on his YouTube channel, reviewing the video where Tennyson documented his journey following his diet and workout routine. The King regarded the Canadian bodybuilder’s efforts but wondered if someone his size could handle the task.

At the beginning of the video, Coleman expressed his concerns about whether the 29-year-old can eat such high-calorie food.” I hear about this guy Will Tennyson tried to do my 6,000 calorie diet. Diet I used to do back when I was Mr. O and you know what I really don’t think a guy that small can possibly do it,” stated the King.

While watching the documented video of Tennyson, Coleman recalled his time as Mr. Olympia, and said, “Those were the good old days.” However, after watching the entire video, he said, Tennyson got most things right in his attempt, but there was a slight error regarding something Tennyson said.

The bodybuilding GOAT pointed out how Tennyson said that he only quit his job as a police officer around his “fifth or sixth Olympia.” Coleman clarified that this happened after his third. Further, Coleman appreciated the YouTuber for accurately capturing his diet and workouts. He invited Tennyson to share a meal and workout. In a friendly way, Coleman encouraged Tennyson for a fun collaboration, saying, “Hit your boy big Ron up, and let’s do this.” Having a full-day Ronnie Coleman routine is not an easy task. Let’s find out how Tennyson pursued this big ask.

Tennyson’s Ronnie Coleman-like diet 

In 2023 October, Will Tennyson uploaded a video where he tried Coleman’s diet and workout for a day. In the video, Tennyson shared that he initially felt uncomfortable with the diet, finding it hard to eat so much food. Since he was managing a full-time job alongside bodybuilding, Tennyson admired Coleman’s dedication and love for the sport.

The fitness influencer ate the same meals Coleman had during his bulking phase, starting with egg whites, grits, and coffee for breakfast. Just like the breakfast, he ate all the 6000 calories during the day, and at the end of the video he finishes with a protein shake. He figured Coleman’s choice of combining these dishes was a time-saving strategy for the meal. Tennyson said, “It’s no surprise Ronnie Coleman’s nickname is ‘The King’.”

Well, it’s going to be a blast if these two bodybuilding enthusiasts collaborate for a day. Would you watch it? Let us know in the comments below.
