Ronald Coleman (born May 13 1964 in Monroe, Louisiana, USA) is an American bodybuilder and a seven-time Mr. Olympia, tying Arnold Schwarzenegger for second place all time - behind Lee Haney. He is known mainly as "Ronnie Coleman", and is regarded as the current leading champion of the sport, and has won the Mr. Olympia contest every year from 1998 to 2004. He used to work as a police officer in Texas, but recently he has given up the job to focus on bodybuilding full time.
He is well-known for his humorous sayings like, "Aint nuttin' but a peanut" and has been widely-applauded for his sense of humor and affection toward his fans.

He is one of the strongest bodybuilders on the professional circuit, being able to deadlift over 800 lb (363 kg) and squat nearly 900 lb (408 kg).
