The larger-than-life figure recently appeared on UFC commentator Rogan\u2019s podcast and he was stunned after learning the rigours it took to keep a bodybuilder\u2019s physique in shape.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a lot of people don\u2019t understand is you see me big up there, but it took a long time for me to get there,\u201d Coleman told the Joe Rogan Experience.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI had about six meals a day,\u201d Coleman said.<\/p>\n
