“Don’t Think Coleman Knows Any Better”: Ronnie Coleman’s 0.33% Body Fat Claim to Joe Rogan Was Rubbished by a Medical Professional Once

Bodybuilding is a competitive sport. Every year, hundreds of professionals compete with each other to clinch the prestigious title of “Mr. Olympia.” While many succeed in impressing the panel, only a few earn a name like Ronnie! Winning the title eight consecutive times, Ronnie Coleman is the King of the sport. With an exceptional physique and body structure, even his competitors were left in awe when he walked the stage.

Always fascinated with having big muscles, Ronnie is proud of his gigantic structure. A tough sport, Ronnie once claimed to be “0.33 percent body fat”, something that is truly exceptional. But is that medically possible? Physician Brian Sutterer opens up!

Ronnie’s claim dismissed

Bodybuilders are known to have low body fat. It is something integral to their sport. Speaking on the same, during an episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast, Ronnie revealed that during his professional days, he only had 0.33% body fat. But Physician Brian Sutterer was quick enough to brush aside such a possibility.

In a conversation about scientific reasons, Brian explained how Ronnie’s claim holds no ground. Speaking further, he adds, “It is impossible to have zero percent body fat.” Stating scientific reasons, the physician says one should have two to five percent of essential fat.

Stating why Ronnie claims so, he explains that the machines that measure body fat are not always that accurate. He also dismissed any claims of Ronnie being dishonest by saying, “I don’t think Coleman knows any better.” Thus, for the results, he blamed the machine. He said, “it has to be the result of the machine giving a false measurement.” 

Ronnie Coleman: The King

Working in the Police Department, Ronnie Coleman had no plans to join bodybuilding professionally. However, as luck would have it, his passion for having bigger muscles earned him a free gym membership, which in turn paved the way for his professional entry.

He does not just hold the record for 8 Mr. Olympia wins, but also the record for most wins as an IFBB professional bodybuilder. Despite facing multiple health adversaries, nothing could back Ronnie from achieving his goals and breaking records. A bodybuilding fanatic, the legacy that he has left behind is truly exemplary!
