From the late 1990s to the early 2000s, The King, A.K.A., Ronnie Coleman reigned the bodybuilding world. Earning the nickname rightfully, he has eight Mr. Olympia titles under his name. Only Lee Haney has the same number of titles, and it’s incredibly tough for any other bodybuilder to achieve this feat. Coleman’s insane genes and incredible aesthetics are two of the main reasons that helped the maestro to set a new standard in the sport. His story from a mere police officer to a bodybuilding icon has inspired many. And recently, Ronnie’s fans got awestruck by a resurfaced video of the legend.

Ronnie Coleman is still unmatched

Coleman is indeed the embodiment of strength and resilience. Hailing from a humble background, he never gave up and fought until he became the icon of the sport we know today. Way before he started bodybuilding, Coleman was a paper boy, a pizza-delivery man, and a cop. After a while of here and there, the soon-to-be IFBB star found his passion for bodybuilding. Of course, his never-ending zeal and his insane genetics worked as a catalyst to make his dreams true and earned him eight consecutive Olympia titles.

However, a page named Scrumpyzz recently shared a snippet of the legend on YouTube with the caption, “Ronnie Coleman Natural”. The post brought back the time when Ronnie used to be a cop and apparently was a keeper of a natural body. As intended, the video caught the eye of the fans, and they couldn’t resist sharing their thoughts in the comments section of the post addressing his unparalleled genes that helped the icon to outperform anyone.

Fans paid reverence to The King’s aesthetics
