"We both look horrible" - Ronnie Coleman criticizes his physique in throwback photo with Jay Cutler
Ronnie Coleman versus Jay Cutler was one of the biggest rivalries in the history of bodybuilding. On May 25, Cutler posted a throwback photo on Instagram with Coleman, who didn't seem to like the picture.
In the caption of the picture, Cutler said that the photo was from 2005/06 when he and Ronnie Coleman were guest posing week after week:
"@daveliberman sent me this last night to remind me as I am crushing the next 10.5 weeks toward my goal. This was 2005/06 when @ronniecoleman8 and I would guest pose week after week together before the hype of social media 16 weeks out onstage full offseason My weight 300 lbs Ronnie was 320 lbs here Location: @tepernews Jr California The times were memorable to say the least!"
Reacting to the photo, Coleman commented that both of them looked horrible before saying that's what off-seasons are for—to be out of shape. The eight-time Mr. Olympia champion wrote:
"Hey where is my other arm. I’ve been out angled by missing an arm. We are both out of shape and we both look horrible. It’s all good though. That’s what the off season was for, to be off, sometimes way way off"
Replying to Coleman's comment about him being out-angled with a missing arm, an Instagram user wrote:
"@ronniecoleman8 one photo could not contain all that power."
While Ronnie is an eight-time Mr. Olympia champion, Cutler gave him a run for his money at every competition they competed in. In fact, Cutler was the one who stopped Coleman's dominance in Mr. Olympia by winning the 2006 edition of the event.
