The approach to bodybuilding looks different for everyone. Some might prefer a certain set of exercises, while others may prefer something else. The training routine caters to bodybuilders individually. It is not a one-size-fits-all approach. However, it is interesting to see contrasting opinions regarding training routines. For example, 8x Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman encourages the use of weights, unlike other bodybuilders.

The legendary bodybuilder once talked about how weight training helped the process of building muscles. However, the 4x Mr. Olympia, Jay Cutler opposed pushing weights. What worked for one did not work for the other. So what does Ronnie’s weight training look like?

Given his beastly form, Ronnie Coleman had an intense workout regimen. This included all kinds of exercises at different levels and intensities. For his arms, the legend resorted to weight training twice a week. While both days would have different routines, the champion would still have a set of common exercises. According to him, lifting heavier resulted in a bigger form. Therefore, he would not only try to lift heavier, but he would also sneak in more reps.

The legendary bodybuilder said, “I trained biceps twice per week, and the two routines were different but always focused on three basic exercises for three sets each.”

“The heavier you lift, the bigger you get. I try to lift as heavy as I can but always get at least 10 reps,” he reiterated.

Subsequently, 4x Mr. Olympia and Ronnie Coleman’s onstage rival Jay Cutler thought otherwise. The icon did not believe that pushing weights was healthy. In fact, he actively avoided pushing weights that he did not need. This is because he did not want to risk his physique just to get impressive numbers. He also addressed the issue of how people confused intensity with the amount of weight lifted.

While it is true that sometimes less is more, one should look at what works for them. Ronnie Coleman could achieve his goal by lifting heavy weights, whereas Jay Cutler achieved his goal with a different routine. However, both had the grit and determination to hustle and work hard. They sacrificed for the goals that they ended up achieving.
