In the fitness world, the mention of Ronnie Kuhlman's name is known to everyone. As a professional bodybuilder, Ronnie was once called the grandfather of the fitness industry by the fitness people, and his resounding name even surpassed Schwarzenegger, but he did not enter the film and television circle, and has been quietly cultivating in the fitness bodybuilding circle.
It is precisely because of Ronnie's obsession with fitness that he can practice such a spectacular muscular body. But it is precisely because of Ronnie's overly persistent strength that he suffers from training pains. His seemingly incorruptible body has actually undergone many surgeries, but it seems that he does not care too much about these "external skin injuries", and still trains desperately and pursues the ultimate muscular body, in the process of which Ronnie is frequently injured.
In the 11 years from 2007 to 2018, Ronnie Kuhlman underwent no less than seven surgeries, or more, and placed screws on joints in some body parts. Someone asked, how did Ronnie get hurt? There is a fitness documentary about Ronnie, King of Bodybuilding, which mentions that Ronnie squatted 500 pounds when he was young and had a waist disc detach, which I think should be the foreshadowing of his frequent injuries afterwards.
It is worth mentioning that Ronnie underwent a disc fusion surgery in 2018, and Ronnie did not recuperate like others after the operation, even if he loved fitness in the hospital bed, he still insisted on training, which can also be seen that the name of the grandfather of the fitness industry is really not given in vain, and Ronnie is true love for fitness. Although his fitness will and spirit are precious, but the accident seems to be intentionally following him, once in the hospital bed he wanted to turn over, the result of a "snap", a screw implanted in his body was broken, and finally he had to undergo a second operation.
Don't think Ronnie would give up fitness for this, but despite this, Ronnie didn't stop going to the gym, still doing high strength training, and he also denied that the last two surgeries were related to fitness. Some Ronnie fans have said: Although you are struggling to train and get injured frequently, it is really cool that you don't give up training. I have to say that Ronnie is indeed a little too strict with himself, but in fact, it is understandable that any bodybuilder does not want to see the muscles he has worked so hard to train slowly drain away.
Now 55 years old, it is almost impossible for him to regain the intensity of his previous training, although he also has a heart. Judging from the changes in his muscular stature, it is clear that Ronnie is no longer the same Ronnie as before, and his brilliance has dimmed. But I believe that his fitness spirit and will have always been indestructible, and that training and muscles have brought Ronnie not only glory, but also faith that has long been rooted in his heart.
Ronnie did leave a brilliant mark in the field of fitness, but the author personally thinks that paying for health for fitness is really not worth the loss. Although fitness can bring people happiness and confidence, but fitness is not the only life, so from this point of view, Ronnie has really integrated fitness into life, and even in his mind of the status above everything, this may be the inevitable product of the glory aura. However, for ordinary bodybuilders, ensuring good health is the most important thing. Finally, may Ronnie, 55, recover soon.
