I had a herniated disc I laid on my floor for 3 months lost 30 pounds . I could not stand or walk . Dr wanted to do surgery and I scheduled it . I read online every day into back surgery . I decided not too do it . After 3 months I could finally stand and use a walker . Took me 8 months off work to fully heal naturally. Also Dr forewarned me success rate is typically high although there is risk and some people are worse after surgery. Glad I did not go through with the surgery.
@JAYY_JAYY same thing happened to me a couple of years ago. That sciatica is nooooo joke. I had the option to get surgery and I avoided that route. I'm back working out but it was a journey especially mentally
He would have to dedicate himself to extensive & intensive therapy over the course of 5 to 10 years maybe slightly more. Focusing on Neuropathy , Cell Therapy, and physical therapy. But Ronnie still do conventions, meet and greets, and other business ventures. He probably does care a ought to make time cause the pros outweigh the cons with achieving his goal.
@tonylevine2716 he doesn't regret it tho. So he lived his life to the fullest. I agree tho. Like I wanted to take his workout advice but look at him he can barely walk
Ronnie was amazing and still is, he has been an inspiration to soany throughout his lifetime. I recall learning that he was having to walk with crutches and teared up. Even now. A gift to all us fans. And Mr. Shannon, you did a very respectful and level headed interview. I really appreciated the atmosphere, fantastic work. 👏🏽
He is headed in one direction... to the grave like everyone else. All the money and achievements in the world will be pointless. "What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world yet forfeit his soul" (Mark 8:36) There is only one thing worth giving your energy for and that is the Lord Jesus Christ.
The mentality to be the best bodybuilder ever has to be crazy intense and a love, he has to go above and beyond when it's time to retire like Tom Brady
This is why I hate surgery I try to avoid it. So many people die or come out worse after the surgeries and the doctors are not held accountable for anything. This is why I take care of my back and body. Heavy weight is just for ego. I don’t mind lighter weights and moderate exercise is enough for me people take it to far but we are all different.
To the Physical Therapists out there, when a person like Ronnie Coleman or any world class athlete comes to you, where do you even start?! Every muscle in this guy was developed to its fullest potential.
Remember.. back in the day (late 90s early 2000s) it was [Different] Mr. Ronnie and his surgeries have never reached this many ears. A lot of people are going through this right now
It’s sad to see Ronnie like this. He is disappearing. I was in the scene in CA. Training and bodybuilding with all the greats in Venice and Northridge Ca. One day I said to myself. What am I doing this for. Its not worth the damage. Oh I had hip replacement at 47 too. But I’m fine now.
*deep insecurity. Doesn’t take away from his wonderful feats of strength and dedication. But the root of all of that is a deep rooted insecurity to be the biggest thing walking
@@Chasemore0416I’ve always wondered why those ppl wanted to be THAT BIG as there is no real money in bodybuilding and ur body ultimately pays the price. That’s interesting u said its a insecurity as he seems so down to earth and humble but it’s definitely sumthing to think ab.
@@YoogiNationego? It’s called being the best bodybuilder in the world. At that time, bigger was better. Ronnie was the pioneer of pushing the limits. Gotta do what you can to win that Sandow trophy, nothing to do with ego in all honesty
The Biggest champion bodybuilder of all time. Most probably the Greatest as well- the damage(greatness) he had created in the bodybuilding world is immeasurable ❤
#1 worst exercise to do that will kill your body is free weight barbell squats. Destroys your back, hips, knees and neck. Tell kids all the time stay away, go do leg presses, hacks, leg ext, leg curl and you can build awesome strong legs.

I saw a guy in my old golds gym half the size of Ronnie bench the 210 dumbbells the steel ones. I couldn’t even lift them off the rack. Just a strong beast
Love Ronnie. At 66 understanding and feeling every sentiment he says. I never approached anything Ronnie did as I have always remained natural. Enjoy the process. Gotta Be wise when going heavy. My shoulders/elbows are not happy right now. What drove Ronnie to be who he became? Lee Priest. Ronnie couldn’t beat him and was actually contemplating retirement. Lee was on a completely different level. When Jay Cutler first saw Lee, he wondered how he could even move. All the best for Ronnie. Always. Ronnie saying he has to go to Mexico is indicative of how horrifically greedy and lost far too much of “health care” is in the USA.
His NFL return isn't up to him It's not like Tom Brady or Drew Brees or Philip Rivers having a chance to return after retiring Dude quit to make a statement
@@troylee4196 After countless instances of Police brutality, some more recently with Hill, Kaepernick has clearly proven his point many times over. It's just not understood why any teams have not extended him an invitation, even after the "try out exhibition" he did a few years back, and the hush money and acknowledgement from the NFL that they were wrong not supporting his cause. So, it's not like he didn't try to get back into the NFL, they, along with all 32 teams blackballed him for speaking the truth.
I think Ronnie is just that good of a guy that he doesn’t complain ever, but let’s be honest. Dude probably regrets a lot of the stuff he did and he is probably in constant pain. He’s just such a good guy that you’ll never hear him complain.
I always wondered who even uses those giant dumbbells at the end of the rack? So I have to get to Ronnie Coleman size to lift those!? Ain't happening...
That's how I messed my back up, lifting weights, after three surgery and a lot of pain and money, i still remember when I. Heard that pop in my back.,crazy part above it,it didn't start hurting until the next day.could move out of the bed, been in pain since and hundreds of thousands dollars later still hurting.
Nobody lifts like Ronnie..but I watch these young guys in the gym throwing all this weight around and think you will pay for that eventually..they all should watch this video!!
I've never been in a gym in my 51 years, and have never lifted anything over 100lbs, and my back is a mess. One thing I won't ever do is have a back surgery. No way. Too much can go wrong.
I do not care what he says, when he is alone, in his private time, in his quiet moments of personal suffering, when its difficult to get out of bed, wipe his own backside, he knows it was not worth it
Yeah he should've stopped after awhile. A person always feel when it's time to go. Look at Barry sanders he has no regrets and still enjoy life healthy physically
@@keithmorgan4883Thats a hard one tho. Obviously his mindset is what made him one of the greatest ever but in my mind I'm not sure if there is any legacy worth suffering for that much.

True warrior and i never heard him complain about anything ✊🏿
Man pain tolerance prolly insane
The problem is. Instead of allowing his body to recover, he kept lifting weights. Even after the back surgery, he was back in the gym.
Still in the gym which is crazy
Exactly!
He hasn't lifted anything like he used to in years. sitting around letting his body atrophy wont help his mobility.
The mentality to be the best bodybuilder ever has to be crazy intense and a love, he has to go above and beyond when it's time to retire like Tom Brady
I saw that documentary and the doctor was saying him to stop and he still kept going to the gym. It’s like an obsession.
"Susan did you hear that" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂 not Susan
Bruh 😅😂
"Michelle did you hear that???"

Heartbreaking low key
Why sad? This is a man clearly living life on his own terms. He has no regrets and would do it all over.

not really judging by the way he ended ....
I remember Ronnie saying that in 1996 when he ruptured a disk , it sounded like a shotgun going off. Pretty scary
Lifting heavy compresses the structure. It inevitably leads to catastrophic chronic injury.

I always thought the prs he did were just once in while but he must’ve been doing it a lot.
Fusing his back was the biggest mistake he could ever done. That is what led to this. Dr was not watching out for him.
