“The Cornerstone of No Surrender”: As Wheelchair-Bound Ronnie Coleman Pushes Through Pain to Perform Leg Curls, Bodybuilding World Hails Him for His Endurance

The bodybuilding arena has seen jacked physiques on the Mr. Olympia stage over the years. But the ripped frame portrayed by Ronnie Coleman in the 2000s will forever be etched on the minds of the audience. The King shaped his body into a mass monster by doing heavy-weighted duties at the gym. He won eight Mr. Olympia titles, affirming his unbeatable stature on the bodybuilding scene. 

The King’s after-retirement life, however, has been not so rosy. Seeking closure to a decade-long pain due to a herniated disc, Coleman underwent multiple surgeries. But as fate had it, he ended up losing his mobility due to botched procedures. His latest post, however, defies all odds as he performs leg curls at the gym.

Ronnie Coleman’s recent workout session

The 8x Mr. Olympia champion never underperformed during his bodybuilding training sessions at the gym. His training during his prime included lifting heavy masses so that he could build an unparalleled physique. In 1996, during squatting around 600 lbs, Coleman dislocated one of his discs. 

Despite the pain, The King never sought medical attention until his retirement. Instead, he hit the gym daily to build a Mr. Olympia-winning physique and earned eight Sandow trophies by compromising on his health. Subsequently, after retirement, when he sought treatment, his condition deteriorated, and he ended up in a wheelchair. But that didn’t stop the Mr. Olympia champion from hitting the gym.

He recently posted a glimpse of his workout on his Instagram account. He was seen doing leg curls while feeling pressure. He was visibly in pain but didn’t give up till he completed his reps. Fans were in awe of the determination of the King as they saluted his grit in the comment section.

Fans continue to be in awe of Coleman
