Anyone remember this?

Has to be Franco, Ronnie has never lifted in a real contest so his lifts are fake IMO.

I can not believe you're doubting ronnie's capablility.

how are they fake? weight is weight. he squats 800 for two reps on his last set and same thing for deadlift. he also does it with a bodybuilding stance and not a powerlifter squat. there are tons of bodybuilders that haven't competed in powerlifting meets but they're still strong as hell. and ronnie did start out as a powerlifter when he was young. i'm not gonna flat out state that he is the strongest but he's damn near close. that dude can move some weight.

His lifts are fake, I have watched photo shoots in LA and fake weights are the norm. When Ronnie lifts in the over 40 class for real I will give him respect.....but he never will because he is a fake.

That's why it's called a photo shoot. "You should never believe what you see on television." Right? You can't possibly believe for one minute that all of his lifts are fake. Ronnie didn't fake his way up.

well ronnie lifts in texas not LA and Animal is right, ronnie isn't an eight time mr. olympian from lifting light plastic weights. he's got over 25 years of hard training so i don't think its that far fetched to believe a 300 pound dude can lift enormous weights. especially since he juices

Hello McFly! Ronnie started as a PL, he must have recorded lifts.

Can you imagine ronnie competing in a worlds strongest man comp? Things would get ugly.

Leg Press? WTF? Yeah... I want to see him squat 700 ass to the floor... then I would be impressed.

Well I say Ronnie train in LA and he did not use any weights even close to his vids.

Bodybuilding is not about powerlifting

[Beefy]

Maybe you saw him lifting on a light day. Maybe he was eating very low carbs that day or something. My point is that just because you saw him lifting weights one time and he wasn't using everyweight in the gym doesn't mean that he's not stronger than every other bodybuilder to have ever lived. He is the thickest bodybuilder of all time, and he's at least in the top three strongest of all time.

Absolutely, two different concepts. I thought this thread was about "who is the the strongest BB." Ronnie is clearly among one of the strongest of all time.

[Bigkarch]

Franco is one of them...dont forget dorian yates either..

true, but ronnie also said that he doesn't usually go below 6 to 8 reps. when he makes his videos he gets down to reps of 2. obviously there is not reason for him to lift like that all the time because he is a bodybuilder and not a powerlifter but if he wants to he can throw up a lot of metal.

and dorian is definately another candidate. franco is probably the strongest on deadlift. watching him pick up that car on pumping iron and seeing a picture of him DLing a thousand plus was impressive
