Coleman takes the health benefits of bodybuilding to the masses

In his pursuit to achieve excellence in the sport and do the unthinkable, he trained rigorously. In 1996, an intense squatting session caused a disk dislocation. Although he realized something happened, he didn’t seek any medical help. Ronnie recounted the loud crunching sound and said, “I lost a little strength. I heard it, but the athlete in you is like, ‘Let’s go on.’”

Despite getting it checked, he didn’t get surgery until his retirement in 2007. That has cost him hugely. 13 surgeries later, he is left with acute pain and no movement without support.
