Ron Kosloff, A Life in Nutrition & Bodybuilding

Ray Raridon, Ron Kosloff and Vince Gironda

The bodybuilding world lost another leading light when Ron Kosloff died in August 2019. He was not a big-name competitor so many don’t even know who he was. Nonetheless, he was an important figure in the sport.

Ron Kosloff, who lived in the Detroit, Michigan area, was a nutritionist and bodybuilder, but he was foremost an ardent teacher and passionate advocate of the training and nutrition principles of Vince Gironda. Decades ago, Ron went out to California to Vince’s Gym and spent an intensive six weeks learning under the Iron Guru, Vince Gironda. It changed Ron’s life.

Two-time Mr. Olympia winner Franco Columbu died recently, August 31, 2019, at the age of 78. He reportedly suffered a heart attack while swimming off the coast of Sardinia, where he was originally from.

Columbu was known for his extreme strength as one of the most powerful bodybuilders around. He was close friends with Arnold Schwarenegger, and together they formed a duo of that helped popularize the classic Gold’s Gym era which also made Joe Weider’s bodybuilding empire even more successful.

Franco won a controversial Olympia title in a comeback, yet he was a successful and popular champion. He wrote several books on training and became a chiropractor.

Franco will be missed as another luminary from bodybuilding’s classic era is now gone.
