To which Coleman replied, “No, it was that thing. We need. I was trying to distance myself from everybody else. So I kept getting bigger and bigger. So nobody would catch up with me and what I block people on and stand there. You see me big up there like that, but, you know, it took a long time for me to get there, but I didn’t happen overnight. I put on about five pound of muscle between 5 and 10 pounds of muscle a year.”
