Before becoming a bodybuilding champion Ronnie Coleman was a police officer and he still pursued bodybuilding simultaneously. His hands and biceps were so huge that he needed to customize his uniforms. Even though he was known as a lightweight champion The King lifted some of the heaviest weights during his prime.

However, those weights also affected his health and he had to go through a lot of surgeries which made him dependent on a wheelchair at the age of 59. Recently a throwback YouTube video made fans nostalgic about his heaviest weightlifts of all time.

Ronnie Coleman deadlifts the heaviest weights

The YouTube video from his official channel was titled, “Ronnie Coleman HEAVIEST Lifts EVER | Compilation.” The video comprised all the heavy deadlifts and exercises that Coleman had attempted and succeeded in doing in his prime. The video showed the following heaviest weights and exercises. 540lb corner row along with 800lb deadlift, 495 lb bent over row, 200lbs incline dumbbell bench. 200lb flat dumbbell bench, 585 lb front squat, 500lb bench press, 800lbs squat, 2300lb leg press, 160lb shoulder dumbbell press, and finally 735lb barbell shrugs.

King Ronnie Coleman was and remains as muscular, tall, and aesthetic as he was before.  He was a package of extreme entertainment on stage in his prime days. His signature ‘yeah buddy’ still resonates in his voice even after going through 13 surgeries and retirement. He is the epitome of strength and performance, and he knows that no one can bench press like him. The eight-time Mr. Olympia winner had once mentioned that he had bench-pressed 500 lbs. He had also attempted a 2300-pound leg press which he knew no one else could do.

Netizens were astonished and shocked at how strong Coleman was during his prime. Even now the 59-year-old can lift heavyweights just like he did before.

One fan hilariously wrote, “I just lay down to sleep… but I have to go exercise at 2 a.m.”

Another fan continued in a similar strain talking about his 2000lbs,  leg press writing, “2000-pound leg press babehhh! Where dey at? Where dem challengers at?”

The King has always loved Michael Jackson’s songs on stage and even could do splits on stage while moonwalking. However, one fan did not like the background music to the video and said, “The background music is unnecessary here. Lightweight is the best tune ever.”

Another follower chimed in, “Damn!! This video was the!! Crazy ass weight with an insane amount of muscle mass! The king has spoken, lightweight baby!”

One follower talked about the huge weight of 800lbs and said, “800 solid ass pounds! Yeeeah Buddy.”
