Went up to the Metroflex for leg day...I walk in around 3pm to find an empty gym, except for one rather large black man. I catch a glimpse of his face and murmer to myself something about the resemblence to big Ron. He turns around and I can see the slabs of meat hanging off of his back; through his XXXL navy blue t-shirt. I look down and read the belt "Ronnie Coleman". Cool, so I get to share the gym with Mr. O. I walk over and comment on his hugeness, he laughs, I walk off to start my workout. Every now and then I hear him yell as he thrusts the 120 lb dumbbells into the air on the military press.
For my last excersise I move to the squat rack (setup with about 500 pounds for shrugs) and use it to do leg raises. He walks over and asks me how many I've got left. I was like "what's it to ya you overgrown ape?"...haha j/k. I went ahead and moved over to another rack and he was like "thanks" and I said with a laugh "anything for Big Ron"
It was pretty cool, kinda surreal to see the guy in person. A little shorter than I envisioned, but huge nonetheless. If I see him up there again I'm gonna try and get an autograph.
