About this listen

8 Times a King pulls back the curtain on Ronnie Coleman’s legendary Olympia reign. From his days as an unknown police officer placing dead last in shows, to the era-defining battles against Flex Wheeler, Kevin Levrone, and Jay Cutler, this book traces every year, rivalry, and controversy of Coleman’s unmatched eight-year run. Set inside the sweat-soaked walls of Metroflex Gym and judged under the bright lights of the Olympia stage, Ronnie’s transformation wasn’t just physical—it shifted the standards of an entire sport.

Built from meticulous research, each chapter dives into specific years, shows, competitors, and training methodologies. Discover how Ronnie rewrote the judging criteria, endured unfathomable injuries, and still trained like a lunatic deep into his reign. Understand why his 2003 physique is still considered untouchable, and how the aftermath of his dominance shaped modern bodybuilding—from Jay Cutler’s rise to the dawn of the Phil Heath era.

This is not a hype piece or fitness myth. It’s a year-by-year, rep-by-rep breakdown of what made Ronnie Coleman a once-in-a-lifetime competitor. Brutally honest, unflinching, and backed by real events, 8 Times a King captures the cost of greatness—and the legacy that refused to fade.

Perfect for bodybuilding fans, gym rats, or anyone obsessed with pushing human limits.
