Ronnie Coleman is a bodybuilding legend. The legend has gone through several things in life and has always come back stronger every time. Coleman had a dream run in bodybuilding, which eventually came to an end in 2006, when Jay Cutler won his first Mr. Olympia title.

Although Coleman knew that he wasn’t at his best while competing in Mr. Olympia, 2006.

Coleman looked the biggest in 2004 when he weighed more than 300lbs. Even the judges called him later to advise him to lose some weight. However, in an interview before 2005, Mr. Olympia, Coleman, discussed the future of his two children back then. What did he say?

Why didn’t Ronnie Coleman want his kids to follow him? 

Ronnie Coleman loved bodybuilding. It was his passion to build an enormous physique. He didn’t want to win some world-famous competitions or anything. He just wanted a free gym membership. His greed to have a free membership led his way to becoming the world’s biggest bodybuilder. But that is not something his kids might want.

During an interview in 2019, the reporter asked, “How old are your children Ronnie, and do they follow bodybuilding? Do you think you will have any more?” 

Coleman answered, “One is 20, and one’s 19. If I don’t have anymore, I’m pretty sure I will be a grandfather. My kids follow my bodybuilding career, and have their own careers. I wouldn’t want them to follow my steps in bodybuilding anyway. One in the family is enough.”
