2002 Ronnie won his 5th Olympia title, but went to the GNC Show of Strength and lost to Gunter Schlierkamp. His diet guru Chad Nicholls reworked his diet to put on more size before the next Mr. O. Chad Nicholls gave a break down of the macros Ronnie was eating. This is the year you will see side by side pictures of how different he looked on stage only one year apart.

Carbs started the week at 700-800 clean carbs. Each day they upped so by Friday he was 1,200-1,500g clean. On weekends he threw in an extra 1,000g of junk carbs so 2,200-2,500g total.

I saw Ronnie guest pose at the Emerald Cup in Washington in 2001, which was in spring so his off season , and holy shit was he huge. He was announced as 315 at 10% bf by the MC that night and he looked it. After the show me and my buddy went to Applebee's to get some dinner and as we are ordering Big Ronnie walks in with 4 other monsters for dinner and sits down at the table next to ours (there was no way they were fitting in a booth lol) Ive never seen a guy eat that much in one sitting before or since.
