He also won the title of Bodybuilding GOAT (Greatest of all time) for his incredible physique.
Now, his recent Instagram post has got all of his followers talking, and it isn’t about his bulging muscles.
The post of two photographs of him during a competition showing off his various muscles had followers asking questions.
His caption has been interpreted as rude after some questioned if he knew what he was saying.
The 58-year-old posted images of himself in a tiny piece of underwear as his body rippling with veins and muscle striations.
One fan commented: “Still to this day, there’s nobody that can stand on stage and could beat Ronnie at his best.”
Others added: “Man was cut from a different cloth,” and called him “the Messi of bodybuilding.”
Unlike a number of other bodybuilders, Coleman’s talent for strength was in both his upper and lower body.
Footage previously showed him being able to squat 765 for four reps and 800 for two.
He could deadlift 800 for double, but would mainly do this for publicity.
In his actual training he would stick to a moderate level of reps though always did heavy weights.
Ronnie would bench-press 200-pound dumbbells for 12 reps and would leg-press a literal ton for 10 reps.
In August 2004, it was reported that while he rowed a T-bar of 645 just before the handle snapped.
Despite his outstanding physical strength, he later lost most of his mobility and was bound to a wheelchair.
He dislocated a disk and decided not to immediately seek medical attention.
Due to continuing to lift heavy, he suffered a serious spinal problem along with back, shoulder, hip and neck issues.
He ended up having 13 surgeries after suffering a herniated disk.
Coleman had two hip replacement surgeries and a number of other procedures to treat the pain from damaged disks.
However, the surgeries saw his injuries worsen and he lost most of his mobility.
Despite this, he continues to train with light weights and is still active in the bodybuilding community.
Following physical therapy, he can walk with assistance and gained some of his mobility.
