ronnie has only been training for 2 months after like a 4 month layoff keep that in mind too.

Doesn't matter bro, he's the greatest ever, but his day has past.

He pushed his body to a level that has never been seen before in a human, and unlike many of his pro colleagues he didn't train like a bitch and rely on genetics. His 800 lb squats, 800lb deadlifts 3 weeks out from the olympia, 500lb bench presses, for a joke, and leg pressing a ton (literally) of weight for reps, it's caught up to him.

I sincerely hope he drops all chemicals, keeps up with training and cardio, makes appearances, and overall enjoys life.

Hopefully lightweight can shed some light on his future plans.

The main problem I see for Ronnie is that it might be VERY VERY VERY VERY difficult to the former biggest man on earth realise he is going to loose about 40 pounds of muscle in a very small amount of time.

Ronnie is 43, he has been a bodybuilder almost since the 80s...

Hope he doesn't get mad with all transformations...

Thanx for the link.

Tricep still looks bad, but lat looks much better!?


PS: Don't let the Cutler fans / Ronnie haters see this pic of his gut:
