With 8 Mr. Olympia titles to his name,  Ronnie Coleman‘s name has become synonymous with bodybuilding. Coleman comes from an era of Titans that made the sport what it is today. It was old-school resilience, passion, and an unparalleled desire for perfection in an era where the science of bodybuilding was disputed by anyone who had ever touched a dumbbell. So to achieve what Coleman achieved was nothing short of Olympian. But the times have changed and Coleman isn’t necessarily a fan of it. 

Recently, the bodybuilding legend was seen working out with the world’s Strongest Man, Brain Shaw. The duo has shared some wonderful workouts, giving an insight into their workout routines. However, the 8-time Mr Olympia was also seen teasing Shaw for being used to training in the presence of an air-conditioner.

Coleman who trained in peak Texas heat was seen teasing Shaw. As a matter of fact, one could actually presume that he was always seconds away from screaming, “Lightweight baby”. During the workout, the duo had an amusing conversation that brought great joy to fans. They both trained their arm muscles by lifting heavy-weight dumbbells focussing on a full range of motion and the proper contraction of muscles. When Shaw joined him, Coleman said, “That’s what I used to do man referring to the arms training. 

Responding to Coleman, Shaw said,I don’t know about this uh you always said you train a Metroflex right still there and now you getting spoiled with all this air conditioning right all this nice pretty equipment so you know I’m kind of uncomfortable.”
