The world is filled with human beings achieving feats that most would only be able to fathom in their wildest imagination, and the sport of bodybuilding is one such feat that most can only hope to dominate. And among them, the name of Arnold Schwarzenegger stands atop the hierarchical ladder as one of, if not the most popular and recognized name in the sport.
And while he may be the biggest thing that happened to bodybuilding as a sport, he definitely believes that there are people far better than him out there. In fact, in a recent Instagram post on another bodybuilding legend’s account, Schwarzenegger couldn’t help but admire the physique the former athlete still possessed.

Even almost half a century later, when anyone talks about the sport of bodybuilding, the name Arnold Schwarzenegger is taken synonymously with it as he was one of the most influential athletes of all time. And not just in the sport, he is also known as one of the greatest action stars of all time, which further substantiates the greatness that he has established in the world. But even after being regarded and revered as the face of old-school bodybuilding, the star cannot help but admire the physique that Ronnie Coleman has maintained.

In the post, the star can be noticed saying:
“Look at those deltoids, they’re pumping up while you’re moving. I can see you getting bigger and bigger. You must’ve had a special drink before you did this exercise”

How Ronnie Coleman Compares To Arnold Schwarzenegger
If the FUBAR is considered to be the pioneer and the trailblazer of the old era of bodybuilding, then the same could be said for Ronnie Coleman, who was the greatest bodybuilder of the Golden Era, a time when the stage was dominated by mammoth physiques. Coleman had been the winner of the famous 2001 Arnold Classic competition, where he became the first athlete to win this competition as well as the Mr. Olympia competition in the same year.
And when it comes to their titles at the coveted stage of the IFBB Mr. Olympia bodybuilding competition, these athletes are the best of the best. In his active years, Schwarzenegger has won a total of seven Mr. Olympia titles, six of them being consecutive wins from the year 1970 to 1975. But here, Coleman has broken that record when he went on to win a record-breaking eight titles, where seven of them were consecutive wins from 1998 to 2005.
