Ronnie Coleman workout and motivation

Ronnie Coleman is the greatest bodybuilder of all time. There isn't a gym where you wouldn't find Ronnie's poster. He is 8 times Mr Olympia title winner and beast in training. His lifting pounage was phenomenal for any lift be it deadlift or squat or bench press. Ronnie coleman motivation videos are to inspiring people to train and this is a ronnie coleman tribute.




His physique was out of the world, he looked like an action figure and boy he had Herculean strength. I think he looked the way he looked not only because of PEDS but because of his hardcore training style and genetics. Many may argue his injuries were due to his training style and years of heavy lifting but that's what he loved.





Ronnie took over from where Dorian Yates left and took it new level. I think 98, 99 were amazing he looked phenomenal. The above video has shots of from 2003 Mr Olympia and sitting at 300 lbs. Do share the video and subscribe to my YouTube channel for more of bodybuilding history and training,diet and workout videos.

Thoughts on 4 lifts competition : bench, Deadlift, squat and overhead press

The 4 lift competition is getting interesting as we have completed two months of it. Some are doing good and some great and some not so great. Well I fall into the not so great category, why you may ask ? Well I have been busy in my personal life. Work, life generally keeps me busy and leaves little room for training, hence a different approach to the training. I was once training 3 hours a day this had great results from such training methodology. Now coming back to the competition itself, I believe we should do all the 4 lifts on the same day so as to make it hard to get the pr and perform at your best and mimick a actual meet. Here is the video do Checkout my YouTube channel and follow the journey.


Fat to Fit | Transformation Men India | Episode 9

Transformation from Fat to fit is upon my YouTube channel.  I am big fan of heavy duty training and I believe with most of the principal s of it. I will put them to test to document my body transformation.



I will be training no more than 7-9 sets per workout and further reduced the training by reducing the number days trained per week; 3 days per week sometimes even less depending on the gains. For a natural body transformation rest and recuperation is vital and this form training is apt to accomplish such goals. Subscribe to the blog and my YouTube channel and follow my journey.

Franco columbu Tribute

Franco Columbu was the Strongest Bodybuilder of the Golden Era of the bodybuilding and was pound for pound strongest of them all. He was weightlifting, power lifting and then a bodybuilding champion.

Check out Golden days of bodybuilding :
 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGHNAcgUAbA99Yh1SCNesSG00XXbnQOhh


He was not just a bodybuilder who had muscles; he could put them to use to put people to sleep since he was also a European boxing champion. He has won numerous weightlifting and bodybuilding competitions, winning Mr. Europe, Mr. World, Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympia twice (1976 and 1981).He trained Sylvester Stallone for the Rambo movies.

He had set great PR’s on bench squat and Deadlift and also on heavy shoulder presses. The most interesting thing was when he competed in world’s strongest man 1977, he was dabbling a refrigerator and had a fall and injured his leg. Doctors declared that the leg was broken, but Franco said it wasn't broken, it was dislocated. If you are already not impressed by his feet’s of strength, one must be impressed by his will and dedication which was put into display when he when through rehabbing his leg and competing again to win the Mr. Olympia title in 1981. Post his accident at the world’s strongest man, he had lot of work at his hand and his efforts are commendable irrespective of where the Olympia of 1981 was fixed or not!

Like Arnold he came from a small village, he was from Sardinia Italy. He conquered the world of bodybuilding and did do small parts in movies made lot of money and became successful.

His best lifts are as follows:
Bench press: 525 lbs.
Squats: 655 lbs.
Deadlifts: 750 lbs.

Working in Shifts and Making Gains

I wanted to write about working in shifts and making gains. Night shifts can be nightmare if all you want is to make gains and build muscle. Here is my video on this . Subscribe to my YouTube channel and comment if you like the video blog.



Fat to Fit | Transformation Men India | Episode 8

Transformation from Fat to fit is a series where I transform my body from fat to fit using High intensity training is one of the best method’s to put on quality muscle mass and definition, if not the best. It was found by Arthur Jones who experimented with this form of training with top bodybuilders of the era. He was the inventor of the Nautilus; many well know bodybuilders trained under his guidance like Casey Viator, mike mentzer and Ray Mentzer. It was Mike Mentzer who popularized this form of training and added his own observation to the HIT theory and perfected it.  Mike advocated and trained his clients no more than 7-9 sets per workout and further reduced the training by reducing the number days trained per week; 3 days per week sometimes even less depending on the gains. Mike advocated HIT training a lot and held many seminar’s and shot training videos. The man who took the HIT method to the top and revolutionized the sport of bodybuilding was Dorian Yates. 6 consecutive times Mr. Olympia and a big follower of HIT method.



The principle of this training method was that one should train brief, infrequent and with all intensity. It was believed that training with high intensity and to a point where it would create muscular failure momentarily yielded great gains and results. Since its intensity which is the key in this form of training, the training volume and duration of training is very brief compared to traditional volume training where one performs numerous sets and repetitions with low intensity. We all know that training stimulates muscle growth by recruiting new muscle fibers but rest and nutrition is what makes them grow. Adequate rest has to be provided for the body to heal and grow and endure the taxing from next intense workout. Hence a great emphasis is placed on rest and recuperation.

A typical HIT Workout can be like focusing one single muscle group to may be a minor muscle group in addition, like Back with Biceps. Again a great emphasis is placed on form and technique as it’s just not moving weights but lifting with perfect form and in slow and controlled fashion rather than jerking the weight. I strongly believe one should be training no more than 45 minutes, if they are aiming to build quality muscle mass naturally. We all more or less have access to same nutritional information but what separate us are the training methods to some degree and most importantly the intensity. Try this method for good 4-6 months and see the results.

Bodyhack Episode 2 - Nutrition and supplements

Body Transformation Progress and update how well or how bad it is going.Bodyhack is a new series where I not only try to have physique which looks good to be show ready but also has functionality. Unlike in  bodybuilding, the physique is just not for the stage.

That being said let's deep dive on how my body transformation has been going, I have put on 2kgs so that's like more than 4lbs. How am  I able put on muscle or is it all muscle? Truth of matter is you gain fat along with muscle when you bump up the calories. Is it the way I train I absolutely I agree but also it's more off what I do outside of gym. Things are getting interesting and I am able to make considerable gains without eating like a bodybuilder. Rest is very important as important as training itself,  don't believe try it!

In terms of calories I am consuming around 2500 calories nothing more than that. When it comes to sleep I get around 6 hours of sleep and able train and also manage other works, I also sleep less but it has never hindered my progress. Watch the episode 2 and enjoy.

Since its intensity, which is the key in this form of training, the training volume and duration of training is very brief compared to traditional volume training where one performs numerous sets and repetitions with low intensity. We all know that training stimulates muscle growth by recruiting new muscle fibers but rest and nutrition is what makes them grow. Adequate rest has to be provided for the body to heal and grow and endure the taxing from next intense workout. Hence a great emphasis is placed on rest and recuperation.
