Ronnie Coleman finishes the pull at lockout

SportLocation Fitness Desk · 7 Sept 2026

Ronnie Coleman’s gym clip is all about the deadlift-style pull: set, brace, drive, stand.

Ronnie Coleman does not waste time here. The clip opens on the setup, but the real story is the pull itself: a heavy bar, a low start and a clean rise to lockout.

The most telling detail is the way Coleman stays over the bar before driving through to the top. It is a strength sequence built on position as much as power, with the spotter close enough to keep the attempt tidy.

By the end, the bar is at thigh level and Coleman is upright, which is exactly the visual payoff this sort of training clip wants. No flourish, just a hard rep finished properly.
