Take These Two Tablets

Take these two tablets and call me in the morning. Bodybuilder Ronnie Coleman making a grand entrance on stage for the finals at the 2006 Mr. Olympia competition. He won the Mr. Olympia title eight times.

That day Ronnie and I each arrived by limousine at the Orleans Arena very early. I was the photographer for Bodybuilding.com so we knew each other. As we walked in I asked him what it really felt like being at another Olympia. Among the things he said was that this was what God had intended for him. Ronnie is known for being very religious and I could tell that he was not bragging but actually feeling humble about it. It was truly a really nice moment I have remembered from my times in the bodybuilding industry.
