“Wasn’t a Human”: Bodybuilding Legend Ronnie Coleman’s Beast Like Body Was Decoded by Weightlifting Champion

Ronnie Coleman never intended to go into professional bodybuilding. However, a path that was not decided had surprises ahead. Ronnie’s desire for bigger muscles eventually curved his way into bodybuilding. Although he had no prior plans, when Ronnie took the stage, he made sure to get all the attention.

Such was his prowess and physique that even his competitors were stunned. Kevin Levrone was one of those fellow champions who, after seeing Ronnie, couldn’t help but comment that “He wasn’t human!”

Kevin’s praise for Ronnie

Winning the title of Mr. Olympia eight times in a row is not child’s play. Although years have passed since El Rey retired, the legacy he wove remains unmatched to this day. It is not only his fans but also his competitors who greet Coleman with great respect.

In the archived interview, it’s clear from Kevin’s comment that he held Ronnie with great respect and adoration. Ronnie is a once-in-a-lifetime athlete in Levrone’s eyes. Expressing respect for him, Kevin quotes, “You don’t get a chance to look like him. It is a gift from God. It is a gift of genetics.”

There is no doubt that Ronnie’s contemporaries also worked hard. They also worked day and night to achieve perfection; however, they failed to match it. And Flex Wheeler can attest to that! Recalling his second loss at Mr. Olympia at the hands of Ronnie, Flex said“That’s out of my reach.

When Flex lost in 1998, he thought the next year he would come back better and stronger. He was pretty sure he would get the title back. But Ronnie turned the tables and left him no room when he finished the competition with a perfect score. Something truly exceptional.
