Ronnie Coleman relives his legendary 800lb squat

Even if one is only fleetingly interested in competitive bodybuilding, the name Ronnie Coleman is one they have surely heard. This former great competitor won many IFBB competitions and even became Mr. Olympia eight times! Ronnie was one of those who argued that muscles are not just for decoration, but also to perform feats of strength. That's why this legendary bodybuilder's training looked like this.

One of his most famous examples of insane strength came from when he could squat 800 pounds for two reps, which was incredible at the time.

Ronnie explained that he had never thought about doing 800 pounds before, but he convinced himself that he could do it. He said that if he was able to do an 800-pound deadlift, another incredible lift from his past, he figured he could do that feat in the squat. And he did!

And it was Ronnie who returned to the video of his legendary squat. Ronnie describes in the video, for example, that he had already predetermined that he would do two reps with that incredible weight, but when he finished it, he realized that he would be able to do 2-3 more reps, but it was too late.
