Ronald Dean Coleman (born May 13 1964 in Monroe, Louisiana, USA) is an American bodybuilder and an eight-time Mr. Olympia title winner. He is known mainly as "Ronnie Coleman", and has won the Mr. Olympia contest every year from 1998 to 2005. Coleman is a member of the International Federation of Bodybuilders (IFBB).

Alongside his eight Olympia wins as a professional bodybuilder, Coleman holds the record for most wins as an IFBB professional with 25 wins. He broke the previous record (held by Vince Taylor at 22 wins) in Moscow on November 5th, 2004.

Coleman graduated Cum Laude from Grambling State University (GSU) in 1989 with a degree in accounting. While attending Coleman also played football with the GSU Tigers under famous coach Eddie Robinson. After graduation, Coleman became a police officer.

Coleman is a great supporter of the Hollenbeck Youth Center, which is the founding center for the Inner City Games, an organization that California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger co-founded in 1991. Coleman was the recipient of the 2001 Admiral in the Texas Navy Certificate Award from Texas Governor Rick Perry for outstanding achievements in bodybuilding and the promotion of physical fitness.

He recently penned the most lucrative supplement deal in bodybuilding history with a company called BSN.

Bodybuilding philosophy

Training consists of simple compound movements with mostly free weights and some powerlifting; he rarely uses machines. He typically trains 6 days a week in the on-season. Per message board posts at prosource.net where Ronnie Coleman regularly contributes, he reveals that he roughly spends 75 minutes during his workout sessions and also does up to two hours (depending on season) of low-impact cardiovascular treadmill exercise per day at three mph. A large part of his diet consists of chicken which is necessary for him to get the amount of protein he needs. Currently, he takes in roughly 400 grams of protein a day, down from 600 grams of protein a day which he claimed made him look too heavy around the midsection. Aside from protein supplements, Ronnie (as of February 2006) takes various supplements which include Nitrix, CellMass, NO Explode, and Axis-HT along with vitamins. There has been no public mention by Ronnie on whether or not he utilizes steroids.
