Ronnie Coleman Receives Arnold Classic Lifetime Achievement Award
Ronnie Coleman receives the Arnold Classic Lifetime Achievement Award.
Each year at the Arnold Classic, an individual in the bodybuilding and fitness industry is selected for the lifetime achievement award. This award is to commemorate an individual who contributed to the sport of bodybuilding throughout their life and career. During the Arnold Classic 2021 finals broadcast, Ronnie Coleman received the lifetime achievement award.
Presented by Arnold Schwarzenegger himself, it was spectacular to see two massive legends of bodybuilding share the stage together. The announcement came during the Arnold Classic 2021 finals and included a special video segment recapping his life, career, and legacy. Ronnie Coleman requires truly no introduction – best known as one of only two 8x Mr. Olympia champions. The most Olympia victories in the history of the sport only tied by Lee Haney.
Beyond his record setting eight Mr. Olympia wins, Ronnie Coleman is a bodybuilding icon. He single handedly changed the entire direction of the sport. His massive frame and insane conditioning redefined the term “mass monster.” Ever since Coleman’s reign in pro bodybuilding – each following generation of competitors have tried to chase that massive size. Coleman raised the bar and changed what was possible with the human body.
Ronnie Coleman’s journey was chronicled in the 2018 documentary film – Ronnie Coleman: The King. It followed his childhood, bodybuilding rise to success, and life post retirement. More specifically, he tracked his post retirement injuries and surgeries – including multiple spinal and hip surgeries. Due to his intense training and massive size, he has suffered many complications in his later life. Despite this, he has repeatedly claimed to have no regrets.
Upon receiving the Arnold Classic Lifetime Achievement Award, Ronnie Coleman thanked his wife and eight kids. He also thanked his mother – and became slightly teary eyed upon reflecting on the love and support he received from his mother, wife, and family. He also recounted his multiple surgeries post retirement – confidently claiming, “I’m still here.” He also stated that, in his opinion, the Arnold Classic is the greatest bodybuilding competition in the world.
“This is one of the greatest awards I’ve ever received,” Ronnie Coleman stated at the end of speech. This includes his eight Mr. Olympia titles. He then quickly became emotional again, gasping for air as he teared up. A truly exceptional moment fitting for one of the most successful, legendary, and talented pro bodybuilders ever in the history of the sport.
“Momma, we got ourselves a lifetime achievement award,” he uttered finally. There will perhaps never again be a bodybuilder as significant as Ronnie Coleman. The Arnold Classic Lifetime Achievement Award was long overdue.

Watch The 2021 Arnold Classic Finals (LIVE)
The 2021 Arnold Classic finals broadcast is live – here’s how to watch.
The 2021 Arnold Classic is well underway after an exciting batch of pre-judging and confirmation rounds. Taking place on September 25th in Columbus, Ohio – four bodybuilding divisions are battling it out for the ultimate prize. The judges have already put competitors through the paces during a heated comparisons. And now the finals have just begun. Here’s how to watch the 2021 Arnold Classic finals live stream.
The 2021 Arnold Classic has been providing a free live stream the entire day of the event. This year’s stream is more important than ever due to the global pandemic limited in-person attendance. What is typically a multi day event and expo with over 100 sports present is now condensed into one day of pro bodybuilding.
Watch The Arnold Classic Finals
The 2021 Arnold Classic live stream is broken into two parts. The pre-judging commenced at 10:00 A.M. (EST) and the finals start at 6:30 P.M. (EST). Both streams are completely free and available at the official Arnold Classic webcast page right here.
As mentioned, the bodybuilding pro show been condensed and none of the other sporting and fitness events typically held at the Arnold Classic will be conducted this year. That means there are no additional live streams for Strongman, Powerlifting, and the usual dozens of other events.
Arnold Classic Finals: What To Expect
Before the 2021 Arnold Classic even began – there was quite the drama unfolding with a few of our competitors. Namely, there have been four major athletes in the Men’s Open division who have announced withdrawal from the competition. For those who haven’t caught up – Cedric McMillan was the first to announce his withdrawal due to an injury. There were also three athletes who dropped out last minute due to travel issues. Lionel Beyeke was unable to arrive in the states due to COVID-19 related travel issues. This was later followed by Roelly Winklaar. Then at the very last minute – returning champion William Bonac had to withdraw also due to COVID-19 travel complications.
Needless to say, these four major dropouts have greatly changed the landscape for the Men’s Open at the 2021 Arnold Classic. There is still quite the stellar lineup – and the lack of Bonac means we will have a new champion this year.
The 2021 Arnold Classic pre-judging was electric – particularly the Men’s Open division. Due to the many drop outs – it’s definitive that we will have a brand new champion. Many of the up-and-comers showed up hungrier than ever before. But ultimately, it looks like the Men’s Open competition will come down to two top athletes of the night – an established career pro bodybuilder vs a relative newcomer.
Steve Kuclo and Nick Walker both appeared in the final callout of the pre-judging round. Our obvious top two, the judges truly put both athletes through some heated paces. The entire final callout was extended by minutes – and you can see both athletes try and hold composure under the tension. This is going to be an extremely close match. Nick Walker presented what might be one of the best physiques of his career – and the same can be said of Kuclo.
Steve Kuclo, after a string of missing first place victories earlier in the season, came truly on point. Towering taller of Walker, Kuclo was a formidable threat for the presumed leader of the pack. The battle between these two competitors during the final callout was a sight to behold. Each one trying to get some sort of edge over the other. It’s the kind of face off that reminds you what makes bodybuilding so spectacular.
Of course, a lot can change between the pre-judging and the finals. We’ve seen competitors make miraculous improvements. We’ve also seen the leader of the pack fall under the pressure. With the finals about to broadcast – we’ll see the entire division go through one more confirmation round during the finals. Will the Steve Kuclo or Nick Walker take the gold? Or perhaps a wild card will rise up to pull ahead? We’ll soon find out.
You can watch the 2021 Arnold Classic finals webcast above – broadcasting live now!

Arnold Classic 2021: Nick Walker & Steve Kuclo Leading The Pack With Epic Face-Off
Nick Walker and Steve Kuclo battle for first going into the Arnold Classic 2021.
Leading up to the Arnold Classic 2021, Nick Walker was hyped to be the lead for first place. This was largely due to many other athletes dropping out – including returning champion William Bonac. With many legacy competitors dropping out last minute, the competition was wide open for a new champion. In what may have been a surprise to some fans, Steve Kuclo rose to the occasion challenging Walker during the pre-judging. The Arnold Classic 2021 comparison rounds ended with an epic top two face-off between Nick Walker and Steve Kuclo.
First, let’s talk about the individual posing routines. The moment Nick Walker walked out on stage, something in the air changed. Walker built much hype after his win at the New York Pro. Despite his massive and impressive physique – he held some structural flaws that might have been hard to fix in a year. Any doubts some may have had were erased upon seeing Walker’s individual pre-judging posing routine. Walker truly put the word monster back into mass monster. He’s incredible size, separation, and intensity were a sight to behold. It’s almost as if the ground shook as he walked out.
On the other hand, Steve Kuclo also pleasantly surprised fans. After falling behind Iain Valliere at the Texas Pro just six weeks earlier, there was a question of how high Kuclo would place at the Arnold Classic. Kuclo’s individual posing routine showed a finely tuned bodybuilder – far more on point than what we saw in Texas. It became immediately clear that Kuclo would land at the very least in the top three.
Pre-Judging: The Battle Of Nick Walker And Steve Kuclo
When the comparison rounds began, our first callout pulled Nick Walker, Steve Kuclo, Iain Valliere, and Justin Rodriguez onto the stage. This was our presumed top four. Very quickly, the judges moved Kuclo and Walker into the center. Things started to become more clear – Kuclo was making a big impression.
But this didn’t fully lock into place until the final top two callout. Nick Walker and Steve Kuclo were invited back onto the stage. All became clear – these were our two options for Arnold Classic champion… it’s also where the fun began. The judges certainly were torn between Walker and Kuclo. The final comparison round was stretched out to a much longer length – a trend that has been increasing in recent years.
Nick Walker and Steve Kuclo posed, and posed… and posed. Each mandatory was gone through at least twice in a cycle. Not only that – but the most muscular was held for an extended period of time. This seems to reveal just how close this competition is as the judges double and triple checked each pose comparison. Not only that but this extended comparison tactic is a way to push the athletes farther. Who would fade first? Who has the most stamina to hold their pose for a full minute? This could give the edge that either Walker or Kuclo needed to pull ahead.
The crowd went wild (and commentator Amanda Kuclo also couldn’t help but cheer for her husband on stage). With each new passing pose, Walker and Kuclo became more intensified. Who would break first? Would one fade? Ultimately, both competitors held their composure extremely well.
Steve Kuclo’s height over Nick Walker is certainly an advantage in this moment. He seemed to tower over Walker with each pose. That being said, Walker’s insane conditioning and musculature can’t be ignored. This is the best version of Nick Walker we’ve seen yet. If we had to choose at this moment – we predict that Walker will pull ahead ultimately for the prize.
But a lot can change between the pre-judging and finals. Both of these competitors are neck and neck. Their success lies on a razor’s edge. One wrong move can throw off their finals routine. Alternatively, we’ve seen competitors rise up with a surprising transformation between pre-judging and finals. Perhaps one of these two can show up even better – or perhaps even a wild card throwing off this current face-off.
Only time will tell – and Generation Iron will continue to provide updates, analysis, and result updates later tonight when we return for the Arnold Classic 2021 finals!
