Brock Lesnar vs. Ronnie Coleman

Brock Lesnar is a hulking athlete. Ronnie Coleman is a huge body builder. With UFC 100 around the corner and Lesnar inspiring me to get in the gym, I want to compare the two mammoth men who compete in two very different worlds. Brock has evolved from collegiate wrestling champion to WWE wrestler to NFL hopeful to UFC champion. Ronnie Coleman entered the world of body building in 1990 and has held several major titles including Mr. Olympia from 1998-2005.

Both have unreal muscle bound bodies with Ronnie Coleman at 5′11” and 296-325 lbs (depends on the season). Brock Lesnar’s height and weight vary depending on where you look but he’s real close to 6′1/2” and 260 lbs. The difference is Brock is far more athletic and actually may have overall strength despite being the smaller of the two. Checkout the footage of these two working out:

Ronnie is lifting a ton of weight but he’s not lifting for strength or purpose beyond looks (huge mass + ripped). Brock is training to fight and has a lot of built in muscle from his collegiate wrestling days.

Both of these guys are freaks of nature and definitely make you want to get in the gym and pound out some reps.
