Ronnie Coleman has successful surgery

8X Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman has been going in and out of the hospital a number of times (seven in total) having some major surgery done.

Ronnie has been very open about all his procedures, but the one he went through this week has been the biggest one.

Ronnie went to his official Instagram page to explain the surgery in detail:

I’m praying to God that this surgery is very successful and it is my last. I also appreciate each and every prayer you guys are giving me too. Much love to all of you guys from the bottom of my heart. I love and appreciate your Love very very much. This will be the first time that I’ll be worried about a surgery out of all the 7 surgeries I’ve had in the past. Also this will be the first surgery that I’ll be having my intestines removed in order to put in a cage around my L4-L5 discs. I’m just hoping they perform the same way once their put back inside my body. – Ronnie Coleman

The amazing thing about Ronnie Coleman is that he never gives up and this could be one of the main factors he is one of the best bodybuilders to ever grace the stage. His size did not just come by turning on a switch. There are a few bodybuilders today that trained as hard and heavy as he did.

Ronnie hit the gym up to the day before he went to the hospital just to get his workout done.

We wish Ronnie the best and we are sure we will see him in the gym again.

This was my last leg workout before my surgery on Tuesday. It’s been 2 years exactly since my last surgery and today on Leg Press I tried 5 plates on each side something I haven’t done in 2 years. I had no idea how many reps I could do but my goal was 10 reps. I remember this same feeling when I squatted 800 pounds. My goal was 2 reps which I did and quit but had at least another 2-3 reps in me. Today when I got to 10 reps on the leg press, I felt I had a few more reps in me and I did 5 more. This is my only regret in my career, I wish I had done those 2-3 reps on the squat with that 800 pounds but I quit after 2, I didn’t want that same feeling on the leg press today so I made damn sure to do those extra reps which made my day. I never thought in a million years that I would be happy doing 5 plates on the leg press but given my current condition, I’m overwhelmed with joy. I’m praying to God that this surgery is very successful and it is my last. I also appreciate each and every prayer you guys are giving me too. Much love to all of you guys from the bottom of my heart. I love and appreciate your Love very very much. This will be the first time that I’ll be worried about a surgery out of all the 7 surgeries I’ve had in the past. Also this will be the first surgery that I’ll be having my intestines removed in order to put in a cage around my L4-L5 discs. I’m just hoping they perform the same way once their put back inside my body.
