Bodybuilding legend Ronnie Coleman Recently, I shared three keys to building muscle. Coleman is considered by many to be “the greatest bodybuilder of all time.” His success in competitive bodybuilding justifies his claim, as Ronnie has won the prestigious Mr. Olympia’s crown eight times in his career. Apart from that, he also held a record of victory in most professional bodybuilding competitions (26). Dexter Jackson later broke the record. 57 years old Received the Arnold Classic Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021 For his contribution to bodybuilding sports.
Coleman recently visited YouTuber and fitness influencers Brad Lee Martin At his gym. Acknowledging his interest in bodybuilding thanks to Ronnie, Martin had a frank conversation with his idol on a variety of topics. This meet-up video was uploaded to Bradley Martin’s YouTube channel on April 27, 2022.
Ronnie Coleman shares three keys to muscle building
Ronnie Coleman said he had a lot of focus on back, chest and leg training during the first few years of bodybuilding. He added that he incorporated various variations of squats, bench presses and leg presses into his training routine at the time.
“I was doing a lot of legs, back and chest …” added Ronnie.
Bradley Martin asked Ronnie Coleman to share, in addition to the actual lift itself, whether there are important principles to adhere to, such as weight, strength, and consistency.
According to Ronnie Coleman, the first key to building muscle is to lift heavy objects. Ronnie said:
“At that time, I was always heavy and I was doing heavy things no matter what. Every day I was doing something heavy. Bench press, I always went up to full 5. When I did dumbbells, I always went up to 200. “
Then Ronnie Coleman explained the second key to bodybuilding, consistency... The eight-time Mr. Olympia winner competed as a bodybuilder for 20 years and said he trained six days a week throughout his career.
“I exercised every day except Sunday. No matter what, I did my entire career six days a week.”
Hard work, consistency, and other virtues are undoubtedly important to success in all areas. If they lack a passion for what they do, none of it can get anyone beyond a certain point. According to Ronnie Coleman, passion is the third and most important key to bodybuilding.
“The most important thing is passion … if you love it, you have to love it because you look forward to doing it every day. Waiting for you to reach can not Gym every day. Working out for me was a hobby, so trying to do it every day wouldn’t make my life any better. “
Most of us think we are passionate about many things in life, but few can actually test the level of passion for our interests. Ronnie Coleman belongs to an era when social media and means of creating content to make money were not available to up-and-coming bodybuilders. Ronnie’s passion for bodybuilding is evident in what he said next.
“There were times when I didn’t make money (from bodybuilding), and I was still doing it,” Ronnie Coleman said.
