8X Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman has been training since a very young age. With years of experience and knowledge under his belt, Coleman managed to reach the pinnacle of bodybuilding and won countless titles in his career. His approach to training was simple, lifting as heavy as possible, for as many reps as possible.
However, these years of intense training took a severe toll on his body and he had to get multiple surgeries for his back and hips. This was a result of years of heavy lifting that led him to use a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Surprisingly, Coleman is not an easy nut to crack. The only regret he still has in his life is not attempting a second rep on his famous 800 lbs squat. Unfortunately, Coleman still has to undergo the pain and trauma, that was a result of his years of hard training. However, he did find a therapy that helped him get rid of the pain temporarily.
