Mr. Olympia 93 vs. Mr. Olympia 2004.

[Sherief Shalaby]

Comparisons between the top 5 of 93 and the top 5 of 2004.. It's not just a comparison between Dorian and Ronnie or Jay and Flex but between the top guys of the 90s in general and the current top guys..What do you think??..

1st, 2nd, &, 3rd places..

[Sherief Shalaby]

4th and 5th places..

  Well, Ronnie is much larger, but his waist is twice the size of Dorian's there and he is puffy like a pregnant bitch with an edema...

Dorian, flex, and shawn compared to the 1st,2nd,3rd place guys in 2004 look great, only Dex form 2004 looks impressive next to LL nice work Sherief.

Good work and interesting comparison. Shows that the competition was much better in '93. I agree that only Dex holds his own against Labrada. The first three of 2004 get crushed by the '93 class.

Thank you Johnny, but you know,.. what I notice is that all the top 5 of 1993 are considered now as big figures in the history of the sport, all of them are still popular till today although they have retired years ago.. On the other hand, in my opinion no one from the guys of 2004 has reached the same level of popularity except of course Ronnie.. Jay is the current Mr. Olympia but I believe his popularity hasn't reached the same level of any of the old guys.. The problem is not in Jay himself but in the sport in general which has become less popular than before..

This is a good thread.

Dexter looks good.

Size for the sake of size is destroying bodybuilding.

check all my old threads they were all great 

[hench]

all 2003 are in worse condition with bigger waistlines

[The Ugly]

Flex looks better than them all.

[tweeter]

Dexter is the only one that looks better.

[Immortal_Technique]

Am I the only one who think Jay makes Flex look like he needs to lift some weights?

[tbombz]

all of the 93 guys have much finer lines. like someone cut them with a razor blade. the 04 guys are all bigger with more muscle on the torso and legs, but they do not have the same rediculous lean,  thin skin, razor sharp look. ronnie and dexter has a little on the obliques and glutes/hammies. flex has the best physique by far

yes somehow but on the other hand flex makes him look like shit!!..

Yes, you are. If they both stood side by side, Jay would outmassed him, but Flex's insane taper, and cuts at the time would fuck Jay up...being that his waist was smaller than Lee's who was in the 190s.
And then if they turned around, Jay "The One Who Gets Gifts" Cutler's severe lack of back detail would be very apparent---and don't let Flex do a X-mas Tree pose...
Man, I wish Francois or Newman didn't get sick, because Jay wouldn't be the "All-American Boy" that they have forced down our throats.

dex better than labrada? no.

[The.Giant]

dex better than labrada? no.

better by a large amount.

[Figo]

better by a large amount.

if thats your definition of better

[local hero]

dex better than labrada? no.

dex easily beats labrada in every way.....

[Figo]

one of labradas last and worst showings

yet besides being drier, dex cant compare IMO

overdeveloped obliques, delts and arms full of seo, no calves, a mixmash of over-inflated bodyparts. on the plus side, has a small waist

[local hero]

labrada in comparison has a bigger waist than dex, has no where near as much taper, and he gives away size everywhere,,, theres no comparison, other than your personal preference...

bingo!

like I said, IMO..

[smoothasf]

Dexter smokes them all. He's the only one with 2004 mass and 90's waist.  Unbelievable he should be o every year.  Should be a 34 inch waist limit on the competition
