@Bitterman He claims that his organs are all fine. I mean it is possible that everything is OK if his organ health had been monitored all the while. When he was taking all the test. and HGH he received from the doctors he was being monitored then. In the Netflix documentary he says he takes 5-6 30mg oxycodone per day. That's definitely a lot, and I can't imagine how tough it must've been once he developed a tolerance to it and the pain management he received from the opiates started to plateau. But when you're on those meds they monitor your liver closely. So if he's still on them, his liver is probably holding up alright. Part of me though feels like some of the surgeries might have made him worse off. Not sure, but there's a weird vibe I get from the doctors in the documentary, like they know the surgeries are not helping that much...

My dad is in a similar situation as Ronnie, multiple spinal fusions, protruding disks, hernias, etc. and man, it’s tough for him. It’s tough for me to see as well. He was also a bodybuilder and before that, a powerlifter. He was so strong when I was a kid, but he gets weaker with time. Mentally though, he remains undaunted through it all. The surgeries just keep coming every few years, the leg numbness gets better for a time but it eventually starts deteriorating again. The surgeries just keep you mobile, they don’t really help the pain, if anything, they make it worse. You just have to choose between mobility and pain. His X-ray pictures look just like Ronnies. He doesn’t sleep well at all, that’s also part of what comes along with that chronic pain. I worry if he’ll ever hit his breaking point and mentally reach the limit but it doesn’t seem like he will. I hope I’m right.

Americans and Europeans are easily fooled into going for surgery for something as simple as herniated disc. All you need to do is - give it time to heal. And during that time - never lift weights but do a lot of stretches to aid the disc to heal naturally. Once you do a surgery on the spine - it is always like dominoes, you will keep doing one after other as the artifical fusion of spine keeps crippling the rest of the spine.

I feel for him, I got 12 completely deteriorated discs, and had 7 surgeries on right shoulder - last one was a stemmed hemiplasty and they honed out rotator cuff & drilled 12 holes experimentally in marrow to bleed into joint for lubrication but the internal bleeding causes some pain, plus I'm missing 100% of cartilage in every major joint except for left hip 20-25% and left elbow 20-30% still left - due to have Relapsing Polychondritis while at the same time going thru 2 serious bouts of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever 7 years apart - the RMSF over ramped my Polychondritis and made my cartilage deteriorate 12 times faster than normal, it's been attacking my inner ears, trachea, floating ribs, and sternum the last 18 months... So after my last shoulder surgery I swore off anymore joint surgeries because it's a losing battle with me that I could never begin to afford & would never wanna saddle my wife & kids with whenever I'm gone. So honestly feel for him, cause when your working out you definitely aren't thinking your joints will be gone, not when you are a physical strength phenom like he was in the day. (On a side note, I only rarely discuss my condition on KZhead, never on Facebook or in public because nobody wants to hear anyone bitching anyways, as I'm sure many on here want to either - altho it would be nice on occasion for friends/family & trolls on Facebook to realize that I didn't actually get on disability in 3 weeks because of some kind of farce, because when you try to not show it everyone leaps to assuming that you are just faking for social security only, double edged sword, nobody ever feels sorry for ya but also nobody ever feels bad for ya either. 😉😢😏🤫)

I feel like Ronnie is a brother in arms.I'm 51 and been lifting and doing combat sports like wrestling, boxing, MMA, BJJ, Muay Thai etc. since I was 15-years old. Herniated disks, broken hands (3x times, once bad enough to have a slight deformity though not really noticable), torn and/or ruptured ligaments and tendons in both ankles, both knees, severe neck injuries (Dysreflexia) several widow-maker strokes, hundreds of TIAs over a 2-year period that stopped as suddenly as they started, Post-Concussion-Syndrome (CTE when you're alive), destroyed cauliflower riddled ears, scars over eyebrows, and on and on. I haven't stopped working out since I was 15-years old and I still work out every day, sometimes 2, even three times. While I look like an athlete, my body is a wreck and I feel it more and more everyday. Reinjuring and aggravating old injuries all the time. I love working out. Being hurt is just normal, though that attitude almost got me killed because in my first widomaker stroke I collapsed on the ground in my house and couldn't get up until the next day. I got up in spite of being confused and partially blind and went to work. The next stroke 2 weeks later put me in a coma for 3 days and I woke up and spent 3 weeks at Mass General re-learning to talk, type, walk, count, tell time, tell the difference between a spoon a fork, etc. After 2 weeks I could stand and I was doing Hindu Squats, wall push ups, lateral raises, curls, tricep curls, etc. with whatever I could pick up. I will be on my death bed and I'll be trying to workout.Once you are into that fitness lifestyle, it's a habit like any addiction I suppose and you can't break even if you try. I would say at least 2-3 days a weak, I do NOT want to work out at ALL. I will self-talk all the excuses, but I end up working out anyway, lol. I wish I could hug Ronnie. Listening to his story, sounds like mine, except for the hip replacement and fused spine which is BANANAS. Exercising is life. I'll take a break when I'm dead. Then I'll have all of eternity to rest.

@@rally_chronicles I don't know wtf these guys are talking about, you can be really into working out, exercising, etc. and not be fucked up like these idiots lol. I'm 33 and been doing this since I was 17, close to 20 years now, and never had any real injuries. The thing is, a lot of guys that get into are honestly meatheads, especially those into powerlifting, bodybuilding and also the MMA/boxing crowd. A lot of it just comes down to ego, male insecurity, etc. I remember talking to a guy at the gym that was saying he was having elbow problems and I told him to just use the assisted pullup machine to slowly build back up. He then says that he'd be too embarassed to do it and continued to just doing regular pullups, further aggravating the tendons.

Also, for endurance athletes most back related injuries are like cancer, you know only when the damage is already done. A lot of this is all "Wow" because decidedly Ronnie is a legend. But some of it is also appears to be stupid coz no body builder should end up looking like a body destroyer. Much less someone who is the ambassador of the sport.

Ronnie Coleman’s “little bit of pain” would make most of us bed ridden
@Bitterman He claims that his organs are all fine. I mean it is possible that everything is OK if his organ health had been monitored all the while. When he was taking all the test. and HGH he received from the doctors he was being monitored then. In the Netflix documentary he says he takes 5-6 30mg oxycodone per day. That's definitely a lot, and I can't imagine how tough it must've been once he developed a tolerance to it and the pain management he received from the opiates started to plateau. But when you're on those meds they monitor your liver closely. So if he's still on them, his liver is probably holding up alright. Part of me though feels like some of the surgeries might have made him worse off. Not sure, but there's a weird vibe I get from the doctors in the documentary, like they know the surgeries are not helping that much...

If he listened to the doctors and STOPPED training before and after surgery to let his body recover properly, he would not be in this porr state. It was his improper training that put him in this poor situation in the first place. And now look at him? He is stubborn, but it's a stupid kind of stubborn, not a smart determination. There is a huge difference.
If Ronnie didn't have the genetics he has and the decades of hardwork he put in to reach that epitome of human body, no one, absolutely no one could've survived so many severe surgeries and injuries and still smile through the unimaginable pain, let alone carry on going to the gym.

I had 2 herniated disc for the past 5 years and finally went for the surgery which was a laminectomy. The biggest mistake of my life. Now i know why they say dont do it.
My dad is in a similar situation as Ronnie, multiple spinal fusions, protruding disks, hernias, etc. and man, it’s tough for him. It’s tough for me to see as well. He was also a bodybuilder and before that, a powerlifter. He was so strong when I was a kid, but he gets weaker with time. Mentally though, he remains undaunted through it all. The surgeries just keep coming every few years, the leg numbness gets better for a time but it eventually starts deteriorating again. The surgeries just keep you mobile, they don’t really help the pain, if anything, they make it worse. You just have to choose between mobility and pain. His X-ray pictures look just like Ronnies. He doesn’t sleep well at all, that’s also part of what comes along with that chronic pain. I worry if he’ll ever hit his breaking point and mentally reach the limit but it doesn’t seem like he will. I hope I’m right.
Has he tried stem cells?
He can benefit from Stem Cells greatly if you can afford it. And tbh, can also benefit from TRT, and if hes willing, even some anabolics or PEDs. Wouldnt recommend it though.
@@Vastspartan no but I learned of them somewhat recently and I’ve been telling him that he should get a passport and go get stem cell treatments. I don’t know exactly what the price would be to get yearly round trip tickets to Central America, plus the actual cost of the treatments but if he’s willing to get his passport in order and go there, I’m willing to do contribute whatever is necessary, especially if the treatments help him.
Americans and Europeans are easily fooled into going for surgery for something as simple as herniated disc. All you need to do is - give it time to heal. And during that time - never lift weights but do a lot of stretches to aid the disc to heal naturally. Once you do a surgery on the spine - it is always like dominoes, you will keep doing one after other as the artifical fusion of spine keeps crippling the rest of the spine.
@@giusepperesponte8077 Send him to India, it would be a lot cheaper than America and much higher quality if you are coming to cities like Chennai or Delhi..
When he said “i want to get my strength back” is like a superhero trying to get his lost powers back

My skeleton is fucked up too, man. Grappling, karate and weights.
All the best to one of the greatest. I hate seeing him in such pain, because if there EVER was a pro who deserved to go off into the sunset living a good life...it is Ronnie C! Such a gentleman and class act!
I feel for him, I got 12 completely deteriorated discs, and had 7 surgeries on right shoulder - last one was a stemmed hemiplasty and they honed out rotator cuff & drilled 12 holes experimentally in marrow to bleed into joint for lubrication but the internal bleeding causes some pain, plus I'm missing 100% of cartilage in every major joint except for left hip 20-25% and left elbow 20-30% still left - due to have Relapsing Polychondritis while at the same time going thru 2 serious bouts of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever 7 years apart - the RMSF over ramped my Polychondritis and made my cartilage deteriorate 12 times faster than normal, it's been attacking my inner ears, trachea, floating ribs, and sternum the last 18 months... So after my last shoulder surgery I swore off anymore joint surgeries because it's a losing battle with me that I could never begin to afford & would never wanna saddle my wife & kids with whenever I'm gone. So honestly feel for him, cause when your working out you definitely aren't thinking your joints will be gone, not when you are a physical strength phenom like he was in the day. (On a side note, I only rarely discuss my condition on KZhead, never on Facebook or in public because nobody wants to hear anyone bitching anyways, as I'm sure many on here want to either - altho it would be nice on occasion for friends/family & trolls on Facebook to realize that I didn't actually get on disability in 3 weeks because of some kind of farce, because when you try to not show it everyone leaps to assuming that you are just faking for social security only, double edged sword, nobody ever feels sorry for ya but also nobody ever feels bad for ya either. 😉😢😏🤫)

I have a medical condition so I have no more bone marrow in my left ankle and I hate it makes it hard to work almost anywhere I can’t imagine what ur going through man makes me have hope and strength that I can go through more, thanks god bless

@@EatwithM.E I admire Ronnie coleman because he worked hard but unfortunately he didn't train smarter though no wonder he has 13 back surgery and drugged up just to alleviate the pain in his back
I feel like Ronnie is a brother in arms.I'm 51 and been lifting and doing combat sports like wrestling, boxing, MMA, BJJ, Muay Thai etc. since I was 15-years old. Herniated disks, broken hands (3x times, once bad enough to have a slight deformity though not really noticable), torn and/or ruptured ligaments and tendons in both ankles, both knees, severe neck injuries (Dysreflexia) several widow-maker strokes, hundreds of TIAs over a 2-year period that stopped as suddenly as they started, Post-Concussion-Syndrome (CTE when you're alive), destroyed cauliflower riddled ears, scars over eyebrows, and on and on. I haven't stopped working out since I was 15-years old and I still work out every day, sometimes 2, even three times. While I look like an athlete, my body is a wreck and I feel it more and more everyday. Reinjuring and aggravating old injuries all the time. I love working out. Being hurt is just normal, though that attitude almost got me killed because in my first widomaker stroke I collapsed on the ground in my house and couldn't get up until the next day. I got up in spite of being confused and partially blind and went to work. The next stroke 2 weeks later put me in a coma for 3 days and I woke up and spent 3 weeks at Mass General re-learning to talk, type, walk, count, tell time, tell the difference between a spoon a fork, etc. After 2 weeks I could stand and I was doing Hindu Squats, wall push ups, lateral raises, curls, tricep curls, etc. with whatever I could pick up. I will be on my death bed and I'll be trying to workout.Once you are into that fitness lifestyle, it's a habit like any addiction I suppose and you can't break even if you try. I would say at least 2-3 days a weak, I do NOT want to work out at ALL. I will self-talk all the excuses, but I end up working out anyway, lol. I wish I could hug Ronnie. Listening to his story, sounds like mine, except for the hip replacement and fused spine which is BANANAS. Exercising is life. I'll take a break when I'm dead. Then I'll have all of eternity to rest.
K that's unhealthy
Dude wtf get some help man. You need therapy forreal. You’re being mad selfish what about your children or significant other? You don’t think they want to keep you around as long as possible? Grow tf up it’s bigger than what you just want to do. After those strikes you need to just relax and enjoy the sun and breeze. What you’re describing is suicide without the weapon. You’re knowingly killing yourself by working out. I hope you’re still alive 1 mo later and I hope you seek help.
Did the working out cause the strokes?
@@rally_chronicles I don't know wtf these guys are talking about, you can be really into working out, exercising, etc. and not be fucked up like these idiots lol. I'm 33 and been doing this since I was 17, close to 20 years now, and never had any real injuries. The thing is, a lot of guys that get into are honestly meatheads, especially those into powerlifting, bodybuilding and also the MMA/boxing crowd. A lot of it just comes down to ego, male insecurity, etc. I remember talking to a guy at the gym that was saying he was having elbow problems and I told him to just use the assisted pullup machine to slowly build back up. He then says that he'd be too embarassed to do it and continued to just doing regular pullups, further aggravating the tendons.
@@oglocbaby520 They are absolute morons that's why. Been swimming and cycling for 30 years now and my body was always fine. Destroying your body is not working out. That's as stupid as it sounds.
Explains A LOT watching this again. He hurt his back (the disk) in 96! This is wayyyy before he went balls to the walls training legs. I had a bad back and there was NO WAY I was going to be squating 500 let alone 8. Ronnie did it and tried to push further instead of going a different route. Wow
Michael Hayes exactly. any normal and smart person would have slowed it down after getting one single back injury. this guy literally just said fuck it and didn’t even try to let his body heal and just trained as hard as he possibly could and that’s why he’s busted up now.
@@jackandrews7878 He was still at the top. More like he's gotten terrible medical advice.
@@mr.brenman2132 how
@@peterk.2108 All of these back fusions were a mistake.
@@mr.brenman2132 The kinda advice that often brings the patients back to the surgeons for more advice. $$$ That said, it's also possible that Ronnie ignored some of their caveats due to his passion and drive. Also, for endurance athletes most back related injuries are like cancer, you know only when the damage is already done. A lot of this is all "Wow" because decidedly Ronnie is a legend. But some of it is also appears to be stupid coz no body builder should end up looking like a body destroyer. Much less someone who is the ambassador of the sport. I hope he doesn't lose his mobility completely in the next few years.

No matter your stance on what you think about bodybuilding, you have to respect & admire the fact that Ronnie gave his ALL to the sport he loved. The fact he now pays the price for it & embraces it & deals with it with a smile on his face.

@@jacoblape It’s actually not like saying that because having one leg isn’t necessarily a pirate thing. Having a bad back or hip or whatever is way more common for bodybuilders than a peg leg on a pirate. It’s basically a given as a BB that you’re gonna have either pain or injury problems for life.
@@jacoblape trust me it’s not as hard as you think people do it ALL the time lmao
Man this is amazing to hear. God bless his positive attitude. I’d be so depressed.
Ronnie is so humble to share all this and, without being offended or anything. Good to see the bro really care about Ronnie, offering different options.
Ronnie was a huge inspiration to me when I was a young buck in the gym. I too am experiencing back, hip, and neck pains. My advice to anyone young getting into this sport, please please please, use proper form and never go too heavy. I wish I could go back in time and tell my 20 year old self that advice.
You ain't lyin. Blowing out every part of myself now I wonder if it was worth it playing around with 700lbs and barbell rowing 350 plus lbs both shoulders toast, back left glute. I've drastically reduced my intensity but still these injuries linger. At the time I was on top of the world but now I feel foolish sometimes for it.
Inflamed shoulder tendon, hip arthroscopy to repair FAI and torn labrum, and severe whiplash, probably a bulging disc in my neck. Stay strong brother. Keep on moving!
Yea, but how does one determine, what is "too heavy"? Looking at the human spine, I don't even know if we should be doing these types of lifts.
It really hit home for me when he said he would like to get his strength back one day..his smile never left him. He is so strong. ❤️
He had so much muscle that when he hurt his back, his muscles supported his back
I also thought this. As well as, he lost some mussle and his back gave out. Crazy
You have to go through it to know how it feels it’s not a pain that makes you cry or suffer it’s just enough to keep you up every night and eat away at your soul. I’m 22 and have 1 cage so shout out to Ronnie I know how it feels, it’s an unfathomable feeling being in pain 24/7 whether it’s bad or not. Shout out to the spine specialists in Fort Worth too I saw the same specialist. His name was either Dr Avaramis or Dr garrigues. Ronnie’s definitely seen both. Great guys.
i feel him when he talks about pushing on thru pain. a true athlete is in pain almost every day either from injury or soreness. you just try and train smart enough to minimize it. true passion
I once had a poster of Ronnie in my garage...had to take it down because my car wouldn't fit in there anymore. True story.....
Hahaha love it!
Lmfao🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmfaoooo
Cant believe he’s only been seeing one doctor this whole time. He should’ve seen at least 3 doctors for different opinions. Mr Olympia and IFBB should do better by him.
Yeah that blew me away, and saddened me because there could have been a better way potentially. Always get a different opinion.
Insane! The doctor should be sued
That was unbelievable to hear. I'm starting to think he doesn't have people in his corner to support and advise him.
Gesus elsaviour I feel sad for him
You do realise Ronnie kept working out post surgery against the doctors advise and that's what led to him needing more surgeries. Dudes doing damage to his own body, don't blame the doctor
How did I miss this a year ago??? Ronnie was my idol and got me into body building
When you find your passions in life like Ronnie did, you've won.
When you build up your body, it becomes part of your identity. It’s extremely hard to let that go even when facing debilitating injuries. So sad. Nerve pain is relentless and intolerable. I wish Ronnie the best of luck.
It's not just the personal identity aspect that makes it hard to quit. Once your body adapts to a certain level of activity, it NEEDS that continued stimulus to stay healthy. That's part of why Ronnie hurt himself when coming back from a break.
There is body dismorphia for sure. You get used to being big and you need it. It’s one reason why I find Dorian so impressive. He doesn’t. That’s wisdom.
Yeah, that's exactly why I max deadlift 225. I mean, I COULD lift like 600 for reps, but I just know I've gotta keep my ego in check. 😏😉😁

I love this guy’s energy/positivity
i feel for ronnie, fortunately i'm lucky enough to go back to lifting. I had spinal fusion surgery last year for my scoliosis and i had to stop wrestling. I missed a whole year of working out and now i'm back to back squatting with mild pain here and there. Stretching definitely helps
