    I think he has nerve issues from multiple back surgeries which is probably why he can't build his quads back up.

    last time I read is he's having trouble walking and still in crutches not sure if that's the case as of now tho

    I was being sarcastic. At least Ronnie has the sense to stay off the stage unlike KL

    Watching this and Flex's recent videos has me thinking that a bit of body english and momentum are pretty standard in pro training. I recall seeing this with a late 70's or early 80's video of Arnold and Franco training as well.

    I saw him at the Arnold in Ohio, he was in a wheelchair but he would stand up on his own to take pictures with fans. I could tell it was difficult for him but he did it for his fans.

    For those not following the Mr. Olympia contest in 1998, it's hard to describe how exciting Ronnie's win was. He was expected to be in the top five, but not to win. He is the last of the "old school" bodybuilders to win the Mr. O., & he did everything he could be an ambassador for bodybuilding. He was on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno more than once.

    Very sad news. I attended one of Ronnie's weekend workout camps which included a Saturday breakfast at Ronnie's home. Ronnie's mom cooked it and it was fantastic and she was so nice to everyone. Always recall in appearances, Ronnie crediting her for his genetics followed by her flexing a bicep. RIP
