Bodybuilding revolves around achieving a great physique and adhering to a strict diet to reach one’s goals. However, even dedicated bodybuilders have their weaknesses when it comes to cheat day meals. Some crave pizzas, sweets, or anything but healthy options. For example, 7-time Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman, in his early career, famously consumed pizzas almost exclusively for nearly two years while working at a global food chain in the 1980s.

The legendary bodybuilder recently shared a nostalgic video of his visit to South Korea on his YouTube channel. In the video, he recounted his experiences and expressed how it felt like it was just yesterday. The video provided glimpses of his winning era and showcased his worldwide following. Fans were astonished to see him pose for them and even participate in Korean traditions.

The 7-times Mr. Olympia also mentioned having a vitamin selection. According to the mass monster, he did not go anywhere without his vitamin pills he takes them with him on every tour. He said, “So I’m not that big You can see my lightweight vitamin selection that I took everywhere I went and never left home without them”. Despite having a cheat day meal, he still prefers not to go lazy on himself when it comes to maintaining his health.
