Ronnie Coleman was happy with his role in the Police Department. He had no plans to join professional bodybuilding, so he was pretty unbothered about the sport. But his love for getting bigger muscles and physique paved his way to join the gyms. Seeing his passion for building muscles and his exceptional build, the gym owner was the first person to make him aware of his potential as a bodybuilder.

The owner lured Ronnie into the professional world by offering him a “free gym membership.” Since then, Ronnie has never looked back. Having registered eight back-to-back Mr. Olympia titles, he is the undeniable King of the Sport. Defying odds, he rose to the highest pedestal. To remember his achievements his fans recently unearthed a video!
