Bodybuilding Legend Ronnie Coleman Made Brutally Honest Admission About Competing Against Game Of Thrones Famed ‘The Mountain’ On Joe Rogan Podcast – “I Don’t Think I Can”

Joe Rogan is a man of many talents. His enormous fan base comes from a wide range of ventures, including his stand-up comedy, his role as a UFC commentator, and his popular podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience‘. Rogan’s boost in popularity in recent years is mostly because of his podcast. He invites a wide variety of guests from different areas to have stimulating conversations on a wide range of subjects.

His conversation with eight-time Mr. Olympia winner, Ronnie Coleman came with a lot of talking points. For over an hour, the pair discussed bodybuilding, Coleman’s career, injuries, and several other topics. The bodybuilding legend also gave props to ‘The Mountain’ Hafthor Bjornsson for his remarkable feats of strength.

On the podcast, Rogan, and Coleman spoke about the beginning of the latter’s bodybuilding days. Coleman revealed he had started lifting in his teenage years. He also pointed out the advantage that naturally strong bodybuilders have over the others.

Coleman told Rogan that “strength is something like a natural gift”. He observed how a lot of people from his native place were big and strong like him. Commenting on the subject further, he said,

“You can work on it. You can get better at it. But you also have to be gifted a little bit… You have to have a nice base and you have to have a little talent.”

As an example of his argument, he mentioned Game of Thrones star Hafthor Bjornsson deadlifting eleven hundred pounds. Citing the example, Coleman said, “That’s a gift, you know? That’s talent. He’s gifted. Everybody can’t do that.”

Coleman confessed that he himself couldn’t pull off what Game of Thrones star Hafthor Bjornsson did. He told Rogan that he could rep eight hundred pounds a few times but not eleven hundred because “that’s a lot of weight”.

Coleman said, “I don’t think I can do 1100.”

Ronnie Coleman stunned Joe Rogan with the fact that he weighed 295 lbs during his seventh Mr. Olympia win. A curious Rogan inquired if Coleman kept getting bigger to keep up with his competitors. Coleman responded that he kept getting bigger so that nobody could catch up with him.

Coleman said that it took him a long time to put on the weight, putting on 5-10 lbs a year through “heavy lifting (and) a lot of eating”. He said his normal meal included a pound of chicken with half a cup of rice, and he had about six meals a day.

The pair also discussed the usage of substances in bodybuilding during those days. Coleman revealed that bodybuilders in his time used them to get better results, but also stated that it was legal back then. Nevertheless, to get a physique like Coleman’s, one must admit a lot of hard work and discipline are absolutely vital.
