Probably the best Mr. O of all time .....

Thanks for the video, but be ready for some idiots to say that the video is "fake".
-
Shawn's taper is ridculous there. Ronnie showed one of the craziest backs I have ever seen. From the relaxed shot, his lats never looked so thick and his triceps never looked so good.
-
I've always believed that Ronnie's delts are way underrated. They have the best shape out of any other bodybuilder I've ever seen and their detail is just sick.
-
ronnies physique right there is the best ever. no question.
-
I don't know. Ronnie's gut had laready begun there (and he couldn't even fully suck his abs in during the ab-thigh pose). Some parts of him are amazing but others (calves and distended abs) are poor. But Flex's ridiculously FAKE calves just piss me off.

His gut was evident in 1998
-
Just finished watching Shawn ray - he should have won that show. Looked incredible (although not as good as 1994). I would have given it to Ronnie but his distended abs and worse proportion make Shawn better. Although, Ronnie's insane muscle is very impressive.
-
Ronnie killed cormier and flex in lat spread.
-
Dorian would have owned them all.

LMAO god that is funny.
-
It would have been a massacre by Yates again.
-
Ronnie first, no question about it.
Cormier second, then Ray (unbelievable taper....how thick was your waist there?)
Flex fourth, then Levrone (weird tan, color didn't bring out any details)
Nasser last....but, he looks like he is the only one out there actually enjoying himself. Incidentally, although his back lags from his front it is not as bad as everyone says and should have at least one olympia to his name.
-
wow pretty incredible lighting too
the guys looked like they had no skin
-
One of the greatest physiques of all time right there.

I agree with everything you said.
-
Shawn Ray's waist is so tiny :o
-
I don't think there has ever been a bodybuilder thus far that could beat Ronnie on that night.
flaws and all. He had too many strengths combined with a great taper with a tiny waist. And he was massive (257) to boot.
-

agreed.
but don't be fooled by the the dorian nuthuggers who say ronnie's delts are "nothing special"
they get praise everwhere.
everytime I watch the video, a few things stand out:
-Ronnie's quads are CRAZY in 1999 (much much better than the 1998 O)
-so was his back (that back double bi is just insane)
-his waist was really tiny back then.
-
...and should have at least one olympia to his name.
Exactly which year should he have won???
-
It would have been a massacre by Yates again.
hahahaha
if dorian showed up looking like he did in 97, Chris Cormeir would probably beat him, never mind Ronnie...

in his 99 shape, I think even Chris was better than dorian in his 97 shape. He might have placed third behind Ronnie and Chris.
-
His gut was evident in 1998
and dorian's was evident 5 years before that. He started the whole damn trend.. :(
-
I agree with everything you said.
Thanks mate.

Wrong.

With the same access to gear and slin that Ronnie had, Arnold would have destroyed him.

on a side note, do you think that Arnold had the genetics to build huge quads to go along with his already massive arms and chest?
I have to wonder..even with today's GH and the like, just as Ronnie will never have (relatively) massive calves or great abs, could Arnold do it?
Its just funny how he had a massive upper body with huge calves, but skinny quads..
I realize that legs are much more 'emphasized' today than they were back then, but still. It makes you wonder whether or not this might have been a genetic shortcoming.
-
Ronnie is simply the greatest.

Well, his quads were not actually small....just looked small in proportion to the rest of his body.
You have to remember that at that time, the judges were not looking for massive legs, and really they only started to be rewarded in the nineties and the end of the haney/dorian era.
Platz never won shit, the judges didn't care about his legs.
Arnold, I believe could have brought up his legs if he emphasized them the way they are today, and with the gear and slin that modern bbers are throwing around.

great post!
f*aggot ::)

f*aggot ::)
He wants to be like me so bad he's resorted to my tag lol they say you can't beat em join em lol

This picture from the 1997 Olympia is fucking amazing! Dorian's entire back look like a sculpted block of rock. Not even granite, but just plain rock! Has any bodybuilder in history come even close to looking even half this hard? :o Thanks for posting this one, Hulky! :D

Wow.

funny, I think dorian looks like total shit in that 97 back shot.
he has less than national level arms, poor detail for him, flat look, smooth glutes and hams, and one of the widest waists ever...
oh well, to each his own...
his only saving grace is that he is standing next to nasser...
-
funny, I think

cormier beating dorian?
i would ask if you are fucking insane, but you are just racist and delusional.

Thanks alot for accusing someone to be a racist. The person you accused of being racist did not even mention anything about race in his post. You brought it up. Maybe you are racist? I don't know, but your post sure does seem to point in that direction.
-
of course they're racists...You have to be blind to think Dorian is better than Ronnie.
-
cormier should have won that show
-

Do you realize how much of a total shithead you are? Let me guess, it is a white guys fault you live in a dumpster? Someone is racist because they think Yates is better then Ronnie? People like you give the good African people out there a bad name.

You're a homosexual, aren't you. :-\

back when ronnie was amazing...thats how a mr o should look like not like jason gutler.....top 10 back in 1999 was probably better than jason was last year

Ronnie had a very noticeable gut in 99

true, he had a gut...a shame or he would have been even better. BUT.....dorian yates could never touch a ronnie in that shape gut or no gut, dorian had also a gut.....

how can I be racist against whites when I am white myself? ::)
-

neither do you.
and I have one major advantage over you:
I am not stupid enough to believe that the video is question is a 'fake'
::)

i've said that i dont have any credentials but i at least post quotes from qualified people (judges, bbers, etc.)
to support my claims.
you ignore those claims and instead think your interpretation of the pictures is correct.
the video wasnt fake, but the lighting is fucked.
and you know it.
-
sure it is ::)
the lighting must have been carefully "edited"
::)
