Ronald Dean Coleman (born May 13, 1964 in Bastrop, Louisiana) is a retired American professional bodybuilder who shares the record of eight straight wins as Mr. Olympia.
Biography
Alongside his eight Mr. Olympia wins as a professional bodybuilder, Coleman holds the record for most wins as an IFBB professional with 26 wins. He broke the previous record (held by Vince Taylor at 22 wins) in Moscow on November 5, 2004.
Coleman graduated from Grambling State University (GSU) in 1986 with a degree in accounting. While attending Coleman also played football with the GSU Tigers under famous coach Eddie Robinson. After graduation, Coleman became a police officer.
Coleman supports the Inner City Games, an organization that California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger co-founded in 1991. He was the recipient of the 2001 Admiral in the Texas Navy Certificate Award from Texas Governor Rick Perry for outstanding achievements in bodybuilding and for the promotion of physical fitness.

He placed 4th in 2007 and announced his retirement from further Mr. Olympia competitions. Although stating his retirement from the Olympia stage, he still in fact may be presented on another bodybuilding stage.
