Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but don't nobody wanna lift no heavy ass weight. - Ronnie Coleman
I always train heavy and it worked well for me. I always train heavy and put on size for a competition. Most people would be worried about an injury but if you're gonna worry about it so much, it's gonna happen anyway. - Ronnie Coleman
I don't know how well-known it is, but I had back surgery in '07, and it took about two years to recover. - Ronnie Coleman
I have had quite a few injuries during my time and if you are not injured in this sport [bodybuilding], you are not doing anything. - Ronnie Coleman
I learned the ins and outs of the supplements business as a bodybuilder. I'd worked with some of the companies, and I knew a lot about the products. Some of them worked OK, and some of them didn't. I wanted all of them to work, not just for me, but for other people, too. - Ronnie Coleman
I've always been a big guy - I was much larger and stronger than my peers when I was 13 years old. - Ronnie Coleman
If you take a hammer and hit something over and over again, it's gonna be destroyed. I don't wanna destroy my body cause I want my body to last me as long as it possible can. If you train hard and push it everyday, your body is going to wear out. So I give my body time to recover. - Ronnie Coleman
It seems that, every day, a new brand is popping up, and everyone has become an expert on supplements and training. Hey, there's a lot of great brands and products out there, but there are also those just looking to grab a piece of the money pie. - Ronnie Coleman
One thing you can't beat in this world is time. I learnt that the hard way. You can't play basketball forever. You can't play football forever. You can't bodybuild forever. I mean you CAN do it, but not at a high level against younger guys who have more time and have not reached their peaks yet. There's only so much the body can do and once you're done, you can't go back in time. - Ronnie Coleman
The next thing I would have to go with is diet because it is so hard and mentally tough. By comparison the training is the easiest of them all because it's my hobby as well as my job. - Ronnie Coleman
There are times I have to diet 16 weeks at a go, and I had to miss out on stuff I love, like burgers and birthday parties. - Ronnie Coleman
When I graduated from college, I tried my hardest to get a job at an accounting firm, and it just wasn't meant to be. I ended up delivering pizzas and newspapers. I knew my life was cracked up to be a little more. - Ronnie Coleman
Women really do pay attention to a man's glutes. A tight, compact ass is often voted even more desirable than muscular arms and chest. So, if you're lacking, start squatting! - Ronnie Coleman
You get used to a certain thing, and you don't want to change. Because that's what's worked for you. - Ronnie Coleman
Your body produces a lot less testosterone each and every single year no matter who you are. We are all human, nobody is super human. - Ronnie Coleman
[Making movies] you're not trying to capture reality, you're trying to capture a photograph of reality. - Stanley Kubrick
