He started training for competition at age 25 (Metroflex Gym) but had weight trained for many years prior to that.

“Ronnie left Louisiana for Dallas, where he expected to find greater job opportunities in his chosen field. Instead, he was denied time after time in his quest, and delivered newspapers, and pizzas for Domino’s to make ends meet. “Domino’s was the hardest job I ever had,” he recalls. “I dreaded every day working there, but I knew I was destined for something better.” One day while skimming through the want ads in the newspaper, he saw that the police department in Arlington, a Dallas suburb, was hiring. The idea of better pay and job benefits appealed to Ronnie, and he joined the force. He had always lifted weights, and continued to do so in the police station weight room. In 1989, one of his fellow officers persuaded him to check out Metroflex Gym, which had been open just two years, but was already known as the best hardcore gym around, home to many competitive bodybuilders and powerlifters. “

Everything You Needed To Know About Shoulder Press

musclespro — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 00:35:00 +0000

Many people have been inquiring recently the same question: why can’t they build up their deltoid muscles as it should be? The answer is simple: because currently, people are more attracted to use machines and cables as a substitute of free weights. Fact that definitely leads to the lack of growth.

Mainly, the shoulder workout should be based on the shoulder press. Why? Because it is the most complete exercise and the most efficient when it comes to shoulder development. There are many differences of the overhead press: for example, there are exercises like seated dumbell press, behind neck shoulder press, one arm press, etc. Still, even though the shoulder press is supposed to bring visible results, this does not mean that the regular overhead press will bring the same results for everybody.

The first rule of bodybuilding tells that if something works for one athlete, it doesn’t mean that it will work the same for some other bodybuilder. This is why, coming back to the military press, in order to see which of the above mentioned exercises works best for them, young bodybuilders have to experiment each of them for at least one month. For example, in order to see what exercise brings the best results, people should schedule the shoulders workout at the begging of the week, preferably after 1-2 days of rest. The workout should have only one press exercise and no more than 5 sets/per exercise, including the warm up sets. Of course, as the shoulders are considered to be a small muscle group, no more than 18 sets of 10-12 repetitions (including the warm up sets) should be made. This means that the shoulder press should me the most important exercise from of the deltoids workout, followed closely by lateral raises and upright rows.

From my personal experience, the most efficient exercise is the one that people like to call “military press”. Unlike the seated deltoid exercises, at this one the athlete must stand in his feet. This means that he can use a little bit of leg drive in order to increase the intensity of his/her workout. However, in order to get the best results, the leg drive must not be exceedingly big, as the main target of the shoulder press are the shoulders and not the legs. Make 6 sets of 8 to 12 reps at every deltoid workout, and it is impossible to not see the results.

How To Do Ronnie Coleman Leg Press – Video Included

In this article we’ll learn how to leg press Properly and Safely with Ronnie Coleman leg press video included, So Let’s Start..

How to do the leg press exercise: This exercise needs to be performed on a stable base, so basically your back needs to be straight (most good quality leg press machines will provide a straight comfortable seat).
Adjust your feet so they are comfortable on the foot pads, your knees should be about a 90 degree angle, anything greater than this will cause a limited range of motion (ROM) and not all the desired muscle will be worked. If your knees are too close to your body than this is also bad because it put unnecessary strain onto your joints.

Keep your hands firmly gripped onto the handles attached to the leg press and push until your legs are fully extended, on returning do not let the weight rest completely on the as this will help keep strain on the muscles and work them harder.

The great thing about using a leg press is you can typically lift heavier weights compared with Barbell Squats, primarily because the weight is not pushing down through your back.

Mentality: Because you can lift heavier weights with a leg press machine it is important to keep good posture. Concentration is also needed because this compound movement will use a lot of energy.
