In the world of bodybuilding, it is quite common for bodybuilders to have pledged all of their lives to the sport. The bodybuilding legends of all time, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, God of Aesthetics Frank Zane, and even Ronnie Coleman, had been spending all of their lives dedicated to improving their physique at first, and now helping others do the same.

The eight-time Mr. Olympia title holder, Ronnie Coleman, is undoubtedly one of the greatest men in his niche. Coleman defines what goals are and how to achieve them. With his long list of accomplishments, he thus ventures to talk about how he still is quite active in the industry.
