IFBB-PRO Ronny Rockel World Tour 2013

After placing in high standings consistently for seasons 2003 to 2011, Ronny Rockel will be participating in the coming 2013 season in a total of ten competitions. Unfortunately, Ronny was not able to fully meet the top performance expectations needed to compete in the previous 2012 season. Unfortunately at the end of the 2012 season he became aware of his sudden diagnoses with Type-2 Diabetes. Explaining Ronny’s unsatisfied level of performance during the second half of that season, thus preventing him from reaching his true competitive form. During that time Ronny has taken intensive steps to over come the obstacles that have surfaced from this unfortunate illness. Together with his own medical advisor, Ronny has developed a pre-season strategy to over come the challenges faced with his diagnoses. The first provisions that have thus far been taken show real promise for a strong comeback.

Bad news for Ronny. Be interesting to see how he changes his approach.

**jtg987** · 02-13-2013, 03:29 PM

disappointing he has no plans for the Aus GP

"He will be presented to his fans at the WEIDER Nutrition stand and as well as a FIBO-POWER competition participant."

^^^^does this mean Ronny is a Weider athlete?

**guruhonza** · 02-13-2013, 04:28 PM

He is one of their athletes. Yes

**MattyH7688** · 02-13-2013, 05:03 PM

Wow this goes exactly to what I am talking about in Dave Ps thread. Ronny is one of my favorite pros of all time, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and he is competing more than ever.. Christ, people are fucking stupid. No wonder people look down on our culture.

LMAO, yeah....complete opposites. "Hey, I just got diagnosed with a serious condition that wreaks havoc on my metabolism and I compete in a sport where all I do is manipulate my metabolism.......therefore, I SHALL COMPETE MORE THAN EVER!!!"

Yeah it's painful to watch. He did this to himself...he abused 'slin, yet is going to push on...wonder what he'll say when he loses his sight and feet in a couple decades...

**Prince** · 02-13-2013, 06:45 PM

damn, that sucks.

**AlphaMaleDawg** · 02-13-2013, 07:33 PM

I just wish Rockel would just say what his slin protocol was so we can learn from his mistakes. Of course that will never happen, but it would be a great informational thing for safety reasons.

**LouisG271** · 02-13-2013, 07:46 PM

the mans a trooper for sure

**ManimalPatB** · 02-13-2013, 09:12 PM

One of my favorites, maybe it is time for him to call it a career after this tour.

**scottg** · 02-13-2013, 09:25 PM

It was more than likely his long term GH protocol that did this. Good luck to him, I hope his health is priority number one.

unfortunately a lot of athletes can't make that decision on their own, unless he invested wisely he may need as much money as possible plus you can never count out someones heart of a competitor

**Timbo89** · 02-13-2013, 10:31 PM

Maybe this will be his last year and he wants to try to have a great last season or needs some $$$? Only reason I can see for doing so many fucking shows?
