00:00Pretty bizarre ones too, but just wait until you meet an Arlington couple, because pound for pound, they are the
00:05strongest couple in the world.
00:07Jeff Curley reports this muscle-bound match made in heaven.
00:12It's lunchtime, but don't look for any cheeseburgers in this house.
00:16Each serving of me should be at least 12 ounces.
00:18Ronnie Coleman and his girlfriend, Vicki Gates, are on strict diets.
00:22Trying to get about 100 grams of protein here.
00:25They carefully calculate their meals down to the last ounce.
00:29You see, as professional bodybuilders, they both have to be as big and as lean as possible.
00:35And so that's meant a steady diet of mostly grilled chicken for the last 12 weeks.
00:41Off-season, do you splurge a little bit?
00:44Do I splurge a little bit? How about a whole lot?
00:46How about every day? How about every chance I get?
00:52And just wait until you see these two get after it in the gym.
00:56Pound for pound, they are the strongest couple in the world.
01:00Lightweight!
01:01Ronnie lines up 1,000 pounds on the leg press for Vicki.
01:05All back.
01:06She knocks out 12 reps, and she makes it look easy.
01:11Here we go.
01:12Ah!
01:13But when it comes Ronnie's turn, they discover they've run out of weights.
01:17And so I'm enlisted as a dumbbell.
01:20Okay, Ronnie, how much weight is this?
01:2116,000 pounds with two on the leg.
01:2316,000 pounds.
01:24Yeah.
01:25Now keep in mind there are cars that don't weigh that much.
01:27Easy weight! Easy weight!
01:28And yet Ronnie does it with ease.
01:31Come on, look at that.
01:31Roll, roll, Ronnie!
01:32Roll, roll, Ronnie!
01:33Oh, come on, dawg!
01:34Easy, easy, easy!
01:36Easy, easy, easy!
01:37Easy!
01:38Easy!
01:38Two have been featured in countless bodybuilding magazine articles, but their dream is to have
01:43the Mr. and Miss Olympia titles under one roof.
01:46Come on!
01:47And so these days, everything they do is an exercise in faith.
01:52Yeah.
01:53And with each and every workout, their relationship grows stronger.
