Good but I would put Coleman number 2. 297. 3% bodyfat. Hard to not put him up there.
Cheers man! Yeah, that was a tough one… I had him in the number 2 spot during the first draft but we wound up bumping him to the number 3 spot for Lee Haney. Ronnie Coleman will always be one of the greatest of all time!
Would put Dorian before Ronnie but everything else seems in order. Great article Adam, it’s not hard to notice that you have some great knowledge on this topic. Do you have more articles? Would love to see them.
Yeah I hear ya John, it was a tough call but I chose Ronnie, they’re both very evenly matched.
