Every fan of Ronnie or the anyone with a good heart will have nothing but an eyes filled with tears after getting to know of Ronnie's story and his condition today.

A doctor explained Ronnie's condition as an "advanced stage of degenaration", a result of the wear and tear of the weight he has put on his body over the years.
Despite his condition, Ronnie still visits the gym to work out, as it is advisable for his general well-being, if he has to stop gyming and working out, the muscles will wear and tear out completely and we stand to witness Ronnie Coleman's life cutting short at just 54.
