Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ronnie Coleman are the two greatest bodybuilders to compete in the bodybuilding sport. Their Mr. Olympia title wins together sum up to 15, where Ronnie has won eight and Arnold has won seven. However, they are the best, but someone cannot compare them rationally ever. This is because both bodybuilders competed at very different times.

Arnold competed from the late 60s to the late 70s, whereas Coleman competed from the early 90s to 2007. The technology, equipment, and everything were class apart. However, one of the closest comparison factors could be their heaviest deadlifts in the same weight class. Although this also couldn’t tell you who was the greatest, but possibly can tell you the strength they possessed.

Which bodybuilding legend recorded a heavier deadlift?

Ronnie Coleman and Arnold Schwarzenegger are two of the most successful professional bodybuilders. Chiefly, Arnold made records and Coleman later on came and broke them. Long before surpassing Arnold’s count of Mr. Olympia’s title, Coleman broke Arnold’s record of heaviest deadlifting in an official contest.
