About Ronny Rockel

Ronny Rockel is an IFBB German professional bodybuilder who won different bodybuilding competitions throughout his pro career. At the age of 17 he weighted 143 pounds then he decided to have a body like Arnold Schwarzenegger. But at that time the place where Ronny was living was not full of professional gyms so instead of losing interest in bodybuilding he created his own weight set. And when a gym opened in his hometown he immediately joined it and start taking information about proper diet and training. His first competition was in 1994 which was Hessian Championships. He placed last in that event by he did not become discouraged. And after one year later he won German Nationals Championships and managed 3rd place in Mr Olympia competitions in the same year. This helped him as a motivation to do more in the sport.
