Strongest Bodybuilder: Training like Ronnie Coleman.

Every week, Iron Cinema will connect you with Generation Iron director Vlad Yudin. Giving you unprecedented inside access to the creative and physical process behind bodybuilding and fitness. Get a first hand look at the entire journey of the bodybuilding industry – ranging from athlete interviews, behind-the-scene looks at major events, and insight into the Generation Iron Fitness Network‘s original shows and films. This week Vlad chats with Akim Williams – who many claim to be the new world’s strongest bodybuilder. Can he really compare to the likes of Ronnie Coleman or Stan Efferding?

When I first met Akim Williams there was something about the way he trained that struck me. Of course, it was the fact that he lifts the same kind of heavy weight Ronnie Coleman used to throw around in his prime. Bodybuilders may be massive – but putting up the heaviest weight isn’t their end goal. Bodybuilders like Ronnie Coleman are rare and an entirely different beast. So does Akim Williams stack up? Will he rise up the ranks and go down in history like Ronnie Coleman or even Stan Efferding (who is known to many as the all time strongest pro bodybuilder ever). Watch my full interview with the beast himself in our latest Iron Cinema above.
