Arnie's big mate brings the universe to Sydney beach.

MEET the man mountain who has terminated "The Terminator".

Former Texas cop Ronnie Coleman broke Arnold Schwarzenegger's world body building record when he was crowned Mr Olympia for the eighth time in 2005.

Weighing 130kg and bench pressing 300kg there was no chance of any sand being kicked into Ronnie's face yesterday as the 45-year-old hulk transformed Coogee into muscle beach as part of his Australian tour.
The secret of his imposing physique? "Just one hour a day in the gym, that's all it takes," Coleman said yesterday.

He's still very close to Schwarzenegger, working with the California Governor on a number of children's charities but said there was no way he would follow the Hollywood star into the political world.

"I hate politics but I still count Arnie as one of my friends. The last show I did with him was in March, a fundraising contest," he said.

Coleman said body building had come a long way since the dark days of steroids abuse and urged young fans to find a mentor.

"Knowledge is the real power," he said of his mentor, Australia's very own Mr Muscle Paul Graham

This is definately the best he has looked in the past couple of years!
Annnnd still I pray that he is only trying to make as much money as possible with his talks of a comeback!
He has had too great a run to ruine it with a come back attempt... I pray (not just hope) he realises this and is only mocking us with the comeback talk!
His left side could not have placed in top 5 even at this show :'(

Looking closely at the pic I think his back and tri are not recovering as much as they should but he's hiding his injuries pretty well in that shot.

Good for him, too bad the posing round is not being scored anymore.

Branch does not have a torn left quad and left lat. He does have a torn tricep but not nearly as bad as Ronnie's. And he's not 45 years old.

Not to the point where it shows outstanding asymmetries like it does on Ronnie.
So you're saying that Ronnie can make a comeback and place as good as Branch does? Seriously? :bitelip:

I knew he had a bunch of injuries, the torn tricep the only one I remember, but I did know that. That is why I said his injuries aren't as obvious to point out as Ronnie's are. You can barely tell he tore his tricep.
