Ronny “The Rock” Rockel

Many times Olympian and top IFBB Pro RONNY ROCKEL from Germany takes you through an inspiring and intense full body workout, not just once but twice! In this hard core training DVD, see the exact style and form for all the exercises that Ronny performs in his regular workouts. The first part of his training was shot in Las Vegas, 2 days before the 2008 Mr. Olympia. Ronny shows you his training pre-Olympia style, in his “rock hard” condition – hard core as ever! He flexes and poses each bodypart as he works out. In top contest shredded condition!

You also see Ronny, hard as a rock, training back in Germany, in a complete body workout, shot over 4 days in the period immediately prior to travelling to the Olympia. Includes some German chat in this segment which is also 100% hard core training. You also see some glimpses of  Ronny’s helper and good friend, Mr Germany, Manuel Bauer.

This German workout footage and Ronny’s photo shoot for a magazine on the day before the Olympia was exclusively shot by Matthias Busse, with thanks also to Team Andro from Germany.

On the day after the Mr. Olympia contest, while still shredded, Ronny poses in brilliant sunshine – poolside in Las Vegas for Wayne’s camera. See lots of  oiling, tensing and posing both in ¾ body scenes and in extreme closeup. This is followed by a dive into the cooling pool and some amazing impromptu pool posing!

The video also includes the backstage Iron Man Pro tanning booth, prejudging and posing highlights from the 2009 IRON MAN PRO where Ronny placed 3rd, plus Ronny’s appearance at the 2009 ARNOLD CLASSIC.
