A journey that started with taking part in a bodybuilding contest in exchange for a free membership at the gym made Ronnie Coleman, the undisputed king of the realm of bodybuilding. He set the benchmark of the mass monster era with his pumped-up muscles and his physique that sent chills to the audience and judges. The G.O.A.T of bodybuilding has inspired countless individuals through his eternal spirit. From 1998 to 2005 he ruled the Olympia stage, lifting the Sandow trophy eight times. However, a herniated disc cost him his life after retirement, but couldn’t take that zealous essence he possessed. 

Recently, Ronnie Coleman posted a YouTube video on his own channel, wherein he took a trip to Korea when he was competing. Thus, the 59-YO retired bodybuilder was reacting by looking at his own video.
