He pulled out a picture of The King when he won the Mr. Olympia title for the seventh time. Looking at it, Coleman said, “I was pretty big at that point.”

Joe Rogan was left in awe looking at the exceptionally huge physique and said, “Yeah, you were big man. I remember looking at the magazines and like shaking my head.
