Title: How did Lee Haney won 8 Olympia titles ?!
Post by: Stavios on January 31, 2008, 08:18:25 PM
I am checking some Youtube videos right now and I don't see how nobody was able to beat this guy for 8 years

his legs were so fucking small compared to his torso that it looks ridiculous

weak arms as well

Speak on this mofos, what was so impressive about this guy ?

Haney was lucky to beat Yates in 91 let alone 93. Haney would have been an after thought in the mid 90s

Because Yates was a pioneer of HGH. Haney was the last great champ between the Pumping Iron era and the new age of HGH and insulin abuse. It's ridiculous to compare him to peak Yates as Yates ushered in a whole new (terrible) age that led to the guts and more muscle than frames can handle. When they competed on a level drug playing field Haney was a worthy winner.

Haney was a boring kind of guy but he pretty much deserved every single title he won, far less controversially than the likes of some of Yates' , Coleman's and Cutler's.

If anything Haney was the most genetically gifted of all time.

Lee Saw the way the drug game was going and retired while he was ahead which was a very smart move. However if he had gone the way of the GH/insuin monsters he could have easily won 4 or 5 more sandows.

Persuasive argument. Anyway, think what you like. The whole thing came so easily to him, it was pretty much dumped into his lap. Maybe if he'd got into the GH and insulin in a big way you'd have a different opinion.

Also, can you tell me what is so weird about his physique in that youtube you posted?

He won 8 because he was the best of that era, not today.

 You're using modern criteria to judge a guy from a totally different era. Yes, his arms were reasonably small - so were Dorian's compared to his torso. Hell, people have even claimed the same with Ronnie Coleman some years. When you have a huge back you do often get the 'small arms' complaint.

The legs issue is not relevant here as in those days judging was still much closer to that of the golden age; Arnold did not have huge legs. In fact, hardly any of them did until the era of the freak ( Tom Platz excepted). Labrada looked great, another pleasing physique before the GH monsters, and he was regularly top 4 but he still couldn't beat Haney. Haney was far and away the best of his era.

very true.

Haney was good - not crazy outstanding like 98/9 Ronnie, 94/6 Ray, 93 Flex etc. but he was better than his main competition of Flea Labrada and Gaspari.

I agree but these would have all been using GH by then wouldn't they (not sure if Flex was in 93) ?

Gaspari was a hell of dedicated trainer.

When did the big guts come onto the scene? Mid 90's so must be the slin. Either way load Haney with GH and slin and he would still have a tiny waste compared to the fridge or coleman

maybe not man, Coleman had a fucking tiny waist too in the good old days

maybe Haney would have had a monster gut.

also, I am 100% sure that GH is not what causes the guts

Bodybuilders of the past decade are much, much more massive than ever before. It's unreasonable to think that the stomachs/waists would stay the same size. Combine that with the GH/Slin combo and boom,...guts. Also, does anyone else question Haney's weight claims? He claimed 250lbs in 1991, looks more like 225  ??? legs were SMALL

Post by: Stavios on January 31, 2008, 09:38:19 PM
You think it's all insulin?

yes I think Insulin is the main reasons

I know a lot of competitors who use GH, up to 10 IU a day and they don't have a gut at all

they pretty much all use insulin too, so maybe it's a combo of both in very high doses

hard to say ! but HGH alone does not cause the guts
Title: Re: How did Lee Haney won 8 Olympia titles ?!
Post by: TrueGrit on January 31, 2008, 09:42:06 PM
I can definitely see it being a combo but I think that GH must be a factor as it is shown to grow all human tissue - hair, organs, bone etc - and it just so happens that in that particular area is all this:

i wish bodybuilding was still in the hainy days,,,it was attractive and many saw it in good way ,,,many people truly believed it was all hard work even though it was lotds of homrones,,but today you just see someone and you start laughin or smiling because you know its all drugs and we always look 10 years older atleast,,

bodybuilding since the mid 90s is really not body building but more of body  destruction,,im talking top level here ,,gym rats are still having the 80s physiqes so its ok,,this is also why many hate us bodybuilders today because they are bodybuilders ,,they use drugs but they also have limits! but the bodybuilders they dont like usually swim in drugs to a point they cant function whatsoever with out them,,most top competetive are like that ,,they swim in drugs now days to a point they wont be able to function when they go off and thats why they shrink to unbelivable proportions,,

you neevr seen ray shrink like that when he was competetive,,,you never seen heny shrink like that ,,,or labrada,,guys today are simply drug addicts   ,,4 -5 injects daily sometimes,,hand full of pills morning and then hand full of pills noon and then hand full of pills afternoon and then hand full of pills before bed,,then the insulin which is a whole diff protocol ,,simply drug addicts,,then duretics whenever they hold too much water even off season so they can mantain the paper skin look,,simply  drug addicts 24/7 all year long,,,aometimes on vacation only 250-500mg used + gh + insulin thats natural times though ,,about few weeks out of the year

I was Haney's last Olympia, I had been at the NOC earlier in the year when Dorian beat Sonny and the year before (I was the mc) when Momo won. I really thought that Yates would push Haney all the way. Yates probably over dieted a bit that year but I was thinking that the back shots would sort them out. Surprisingly it was the quarter turn to the side that sorted them. Haney was so thick. I had not realized until I saw him live just how thick he was through the chest. That is when the show was won.

I was also at the next Olympia when Yates won. I think he would have probably beaten Haney if Haney had competed. He had raised the bar again .... but that is another story..

My Dad who knows nothing about bodybuilding was watching the top 6 of the 1985 or 86
Olympia with me as he was passing by the TV. He said.. "The big black guy is easily the winner."
He was so far ahead of anyone until 1989 when he came in a little off and Lee Labrada was near perfect.
A good big man will beat a good smaller man and that was the case in 1989.
I think Labrada should have beat Haney in 1990 because of the drug testing.
Labrada was about 90% where Haney looked like he had lost 15-20 pounds of muscle
and probably was about 75% of his best.
There was nobody during that time that could come close to his height, structure and muscle
combination until Yates gave him a run in 91.

Haney was the dominant mass monster in the mid eighties to early 90s (1991, to be exact). He had a back that set him apart from the rest, just like Dorian. And like Dorian, even though he had relatively weak arms, his torso and muscularity put him ahead of everyone. Flea Labrada looked great by himself, but got out-muscled big time next to Haney. Rich Gaspari's conditioning was always spot on, but he didn't have the overall look and flow of Haney's physique.

Bertil fox was up there, but couldn't nail his conditioning. Berry De Mey wasn't big enough to knock Haney off and Gary Strydom didn't have a back (like Nasser) that could  de-throne Haney. So Haney just had the right combination at the right time. And he was pretty young when he stopped competing - 32, which goes to show that he could have upped the dosage to the 90s standards and continued to get bigger.

But he'd won 8 Olympias by then and I personally don't think he could have beaten Dorian after 1992.

The questionable win for Haney, in my opinion, was in 1990.  Labrada looked @ 10% off, while haney was clearly NOT the Lee of 1986-88.

And why does it matter if he was a :Jesus Freak" or not?  Why is that always an issue?

Haney was DOMINANT in his era (to quote the very first bodybuilding video i ever purchased "it's Haney versus Haney onstage")

Mike Matarazzo told me when he first saw Haney in person it looked like "his back was alive there were things moving and shifting everywhere!"
Mike went on to say "im a hard guy to impress.........esp by bodybuilders,but when i saw Haney backstage i went bonkers"

right guy/right physique/right time!

...because the judging standards changed to reward size over symmetry and conditioning. 

Yates and Coleman and Cutler and the judging standards that rewarded their looks have taken pro bodybuilding in the wrong direction.  Haney and the Mr. Olympias before him were much better for the "sport."

And he was pretty young when he stopped competing - 32, which goes to show that he could have upped the dosage to the 90s standards and continued to get bigger.

But he'd won 8 Olympias by then and I personally don't think he could have beaten Dorian after 1992.
Good points. There were some great bodybuilders back then but Haney was the best. Those claiming that he had weak competition are daft. Go check out some old pics of those competitors. Great physiques but Haney was better.  ;)

I am checking some Youtube videos right now and I don't see how nobody was able to beat this guy for 8 years

his legs were so fucking small compared to his torso that it looks ridiculous

weak arms as well

Speak on this mofos, what was so impressive about this guy ?

Realistically, there was a couple years where it could have gone either way by conditionion & symmetry.

But for the most part....Haney killed the competion the day of the contest

i was there is 91, Haney was probably 250 as reported. He was a little bigger than Yates at 242(?).

Yates was 239 lbs in 91 and Haney was 249 pounds.

He competed in the days when mass wasn't everything. Epic quality in his physique.

Bullshit; it was called politics to be able to win even one show with that kind of imbalance even though the torso was great and nothing else.

Haney was lucky to beat Yates in 91 let alone 93. Haney would have been an after thought in the mid 90s

Title: Re: How did Lee Haney won 8 Olympia titles ?!
Post by: pumpster on February 01, 2008, 05:34:52 PM
Because Yates was a pioneer of HGH. Haney was the last great champ between the Pumping Iron era and the new age of HGH and insulin abuse. It's ridiculous to compare him to peak Yates as Yates ushered in a whole new (terrible) age that led to the guts and more muscle than frames can handle. When they competed on a level drug playing field Haney was a worthy winner.

Haney was a boring kind of guy but he pretty much deserved every single title he won, far less controversially than the likes of some of Yates' , Coleman's and Cutler's.

Agree with the 1st paragraph, there was a big difference in drug cocktails.

2nd paragraph no, many of the wins were political there's no excusing that many wins with that type of gross physique imbalance. Nothing else on the physique ever matched the great torso, unfortunately but he got lots of points behind the scenes for being the kind of eloquent spokesman Weider and the IFBB wanted, plus there was no one else clearly better to make the questionable decisions obvious.

If anything Haney was the most genetically gifted of all time.


Absurd, you really don't know BB. Great torso, gross imbalance elsewhere, nowhere near the top guys genetically speaking. If he had been and had been truly balanced, he'd have deserved multiple wins.
Title: Re: How did Lee Haney won 8 Olympia titles ?!
Post by: pumpster on February 01, 2008, 05:38:25 PM
Well then who in your opinion should have beaten Haney during the 80's?

He won 8 because he was the best of that era, not today.

No one should've necessarily beaten him, because there was no one else great at their peak during that time.

However that's not the same as saying that he was really an all-time great; he wasn't.
Title: Re: How did Lee Haney won 8 Olympia titles ?!
Post by: pumpster on February 01, 2008, 05:39:01 PM
Haney is definitely not the most impressive Mr. O, but the reason he won 8 was because he was the best for all those years.  The genetics of the 80s bodybuilders was the worst imo, he didnt have much competition

Bingo

The irony of you saying someone doesn't know bodybuilding , you'll gloss right over Ronnie's blatantly obvious imbalance & proportion issues and hoop & holla about others , and all because Ronnie has better ' show muscles ; as you call them

Lee Haney dominated in a way Coleman couldn't for a reason , he had something Coleman didn't aesthetics and size

ND = IFBB shill



According to this genius, show results and judging are beyong reproach so of course this is the stock answer even though he can't explain Columbu over Padilla in 1981 lol

Coleman's balance in the late 90s was better than Haney's, with far better size as well.

Absurd, you really don't know BB. Great torso, gross imbalance elsewhere, nowhere near the top guys genetically speaking. If he had been and had been truly balanced, he'd have deserved multiple wins.

It's an opinion. Bit of an immature response. Both Rich Gaspari and Labrada said he had insane genetics. Having good genetics doesn't mean that all your bodyparts are perfect since no bodybuilder has ever had that - Arnold had small legs and biceps that dominated his arms/ Yates had smallish arms/Coleman had a disgusting stomach, gyno and no calves. I mean one of the most genetically blessed in terms of how easily it all came to him..the lack of intensity he needed to generate the clearly dominant physique of the time. If he'd used the cocktails of a Coleman he might have been even more impressive  since much of this relies on someone's response to hormones.


This is a direct quote from Rich Gaspari (who knows a bit more about bodybuilding than 'Pumpster' from the internet) :


Rich – Out of all the guys I competed against, I would say Lee Haney had some of the best genetics. You know, even at the Olympia, he wasn’t perfect. I thought he had weak legs, weak calves and I thought he could have had better separation in his thighs. But, when you saw his waist to shoulder differential at that time, he had the best out there.

 I trained with him and he was a guy who had great genetics. He didn’t have to train as hard as I did and the guy had the genes to look the way he did.

easilly the most dominant mr o of alltime!

the retards who say hes small now would have been in awe of him durring the 80's, way way more untouchable then coleman.. no one on the planet ever thought haney would lose, unlike coleman who had many close calls.

what a fuckin joke, coleman would be booed off the stage if he stood next to haney!

I agree. I think ND is just doing his usual anti-coleman propaganda, even though he'll deny it ;D

If we are comparing them at their peaks, Haney couldn't hold a candle to Ronnie - it's not even debatable, unlike Dorian Vs Ronnie (even that isn't IMO, with the advantage going to Ronnie). Ronnie and Haney were both around the same height and Ronnie destroys Haney with his muscularity.

Haney could have filled out his frame with about 25 - 40 lbs of muscle and could have achieved the freaky look of the 97 Dorian (excluding the arm of course) or even Ronnie at 260+. But back in the 80s, 240 - 250 was HUGE for a 5'11" bodybuilder and Haney was considered a freak like Ronnie was, at his prime.

ND, you can post bad pics of Ronnie cause there's plenty of them out there. All the pics in the world aren't going to change the fact that Haney would be a distant second to Ronnie. And don't bring in the 'Haney was dominant during his reign' argument, lol - I'm only evaluating their physiques, nothing else

MELTDOWN

Wrong also. Haney's competition was weak.

lmfao meltdown give me a break , come back when you're working with someone , and Ronnie's competition was so spectacular? he was nearly beaten by a past his prime Levrone and Jay Cutler lol this is competition? at his best he was nearly beaten by a washed up Flex Wheeler

again bottom line Yates & Haney dominated in a way Coleman couldn't replicate you can use your politics excuse or your shows muscles excuse but it wont change the facts

 and as we can see, from head to toe, Ronnie's muscles had much better shape than even the great lee haney.

thats part of why Ronnie 99 'advanced the sport' the night he won the olympia that year, according to Peter McGough

hard to say, Ronnie had a waist on a 257 pound frame, whereas Haney was a lot smaller than that.

in terms of absolute size, Haney's was smaller. In terms of relative size, Coleman could match him

this is a crazy taper:

Like you said, I believe the overall mass in relation to waist is relative, and Haney should get credit.

Besides, without Haney pushing Dorian, there would be no mass like Ronnie.

First time I met you Steevios you looked much bigger then what i gave you credit for on pictures.

Now think Haney who has 10 times your size and 20 times your shape in real life... you would simply gawk!

Not to mention his presence alone is enough to make anyone envious. Flex, Shawn, Chris all consider Haney a great champion and knew enough to give him space for the champs meal time. All of those guys became great bodybuilders and yet they are probably still in awe of Lee's physique!

Truly silly. Few if any others of Haney's height had that tiny waist, thus it was great but hardly essential to all the other winners including Coleman.

Unfortunately the rest of Haney wasn't as superlative as the waist and lats that you obsess on, to the exclusion of anything else, my myopic easy-reader. ;D You're quite remarkable in your ability to ignore the rest, in your Haney fascination. :-* :-*

Pumpster - in this case they are mutually exclusive.

You have said that haney was undeservingly  given his titles because he was popular with weider.

You then agreed - as you seem to agree with anyone who will say something negative about him - with a guy who made a contra argument. He said that haney did deserve his titles but only because the competition was so weak. The argument had nothing to do with haney being given gifts, it was simply that he was the best of a bad bunch.

Again deflection is your new M.O. personal attacks and deflection . hey what else do you have in the face of this?

Special Ed : Ronnie of Dorian competed in 1998 would you have smoked him?

Ronnie Coleman : NO I think he would have kept on winning as long as he competed I don't think he would have lost.


Taken out of FLEX nov 1999, page 90.  interview by jim schmaltz with ronnie before the 99 Olympia.

Jim:  What would have happened last year if Dorian Yates (recently retired winner of 6 straight Mr. Olympias) had competed?


Ronnie:  Dorian would have won again.


Jim: You think so?


Ronnie:  I know so.  Dorian has a big physique - hard- and he's been the man to beat, and its hard to knock the champion off the block.  He's a big guy and has a lot going for him.  He overcame so many adversities, like his torn biceps, I couldnt see too much else stopping him.


the second quote is literally right before the 1999 Mr Olympia a contest in which you said Ronnie would beat Yates , these quotes stop your bullshit dead in it's tracks all you have left is hate for the messenger when its the message you can't stand.

Man, if you two guys spent your time actually working out in the gym rather than bantering back and forth for eternity, you might actually weigh more than 165lbs soaking wet.  I guess I admire your passion for arguing your point of view, but you guys gotta direct it and focus it on something more productive....like actually working out.  When do you guys have the time to actually step foot in a gym?

Simply put:
Dorian = best during his time period.
Ronnie = best during his time period.
Haney = best during his time period.

Difference between the three:
Haney = injury-free, no torn muscles, great wife and kids, left the sport on his own terms rather than forced out due to injury, living a great, fulfilling life outside of competitive BB, nothing left to prove.

No Ronnie thinks so , Peter McGough thinks so , what else are you left with? and properly evaluate physiques lmfao you're the same guy who claimed Ronnie 1999 has more detailed calves than Dorian Yates , and he's more grainy , oh and how about how Yates lost the 1993 Mr Olympia to Flex Wheeler ,. how Matt Mendenhall was blocky and Lee Labrada had crappy abs & calves , and your most recent ignorant claim Gary Strydom improved his back by the WBF lol soley based on these statements its clear you don't know the first thing about competitive bodybuilding .

Ronnie is better than Dorian, now please STFU about it!  Discuss.

           Haney is one of my top 3 favorite bb's, and I will say that Haney's peak condition will not compare to Coleman at his best. And even if Haney would have taken the same drugs and amounts that Coleman did, he still probably would not match Coleman's totall package around 1998.

           But we don't really know. Haney had maybe a better chest anyway. His torso had potential to be as big as Coleman's, and maybe with a slightly slimmer waist. And his calves were better, but Haney's arm would have never matched Coleman's, no matter what drugs he was on.

           During Haney's era, bb's still mostly trained on 3 day splits, 6 days a week, hitting every body part twice a week. and they were on far less drugs than today, where most current bodybuilders train each bodypart once a week. As far as his torso was concerned, this training didn't hinder Haney. But maybe for smaller muscle groups like bi's and tri's, this workload was too much. Not only were arms hit directly twice a week, but also getting worked when he did chest, back and shoulders. Now, like I already stated, Haney didn't have the genetics for arms like Coleman, but maybe if he had trained in a more modern manner, with a more modern drug regimen, than they might have been much better. when he was younger, Haney said he built most of his mass training only 4 day a week, but he still hit everything twice a week.

           Now one could say this theory is way off, since Haney's legs were small, and legs are a big muscle group like chest, back and shoulders. But like already stated in this thread, almost no one had huge legs back then. Haney's were good enough to win, so why bust his ass to get bigger. I think on a whole, bodybuilders didn't squat anywhere near as much weight as they do now. I am sure on average, today's bb's are stronger all around, but especially so in the legs.

          I think when you compare bodybuilders or athletes from different era's, it is more fair to compare how they did against everyone else of their time period. Both Haney and Coleman were able to beat everyone else using comparable drug and training programs, so both are great.

          If Haney would have been born later, and turned pro in the mid to late 90's, instead of 1983, his physique would have blown away the real Haney package that we are discussing in this thread. Would he have been as good as Coleman?
Probably not. But we don't know for sure. Just like we don't know how Coleman would have looked, if his prime years were during the 1980's.
          But I will say that I do know both of them would have been great. If you can dominate an era, you would have been near the top at least, no matter when you competed. Especially from the 80's on. After the popularity of Pumping Iron, and then his turning that into a lucrative movie career, everyone and his brother wanted to be the next Arnold. Working out and bodybuilding in general hit it's peak as far as mainstream popularity around Haney's era of dominance.
So if there are a lot of people trying to be the best, and you are the best for a long time, you're damn good. And that same person would be good at any time period given a level playing field. Maybe that same person wouldn't be the best, or as dominant as he was, but he would still be great.

His arms look great. Lee Haney was one of the greatest ever bodybuilders, period. He deserved all his Olympias as he was head and shoulders above the competition. This is why none of the guys how competed against him moan about how they should have won. He won by miles. His physique killed everybody else's.  The guy had mass and aesthetics in a way not seen again until Nasser.

Coleman was given many gifts : against Flex Wheeler and certainly against Jay Cutler. In fact it's crazy that Flex and Nasser never won the Olypmpia when the disgusting Yates was so weak and his hideous tattooed body was so weak. Now he was given gifts but not Haney, no way. Haney is the only uncontroversial Mr O in all of time. Even Arnold's were questioned by some. Not Haney, the best champion of all time.

With regard to Haney and controversy, I guess you never saw the 1990 Olympia, huh?  Easily could have gone to Labrada.  And I'm a huge Haney fan, one of my all time top 5.

Nasser didn't have "beautiful lines".  Up to 1995, he had a good clean look with a tight waist.  From 1996 on, his gut was out of hand and his back lost detail with each passing year.

I'm not the only one that said Labrada could have won in 90, there were plenty within the industry that said it before I ever did.  But what do I know?  Here, basking in the light of your superior bodybuilding knowledge, my flaws are as obvious as the bulbous waist of your used clothing-selling hero...

Nice physique but he was too small. He was all quality and NO quantity. Haney had both, same with Nasser.

With no mass you don't win the O. Read up on it and look at the winners. No mass = no Sandow.

Sorry but that is how it is. Haney blowed him away.

Yes, I'm sure.  Show him from the back in successive years and you'll see a decrease in back detail.  Very slight in 96-99, but quickly downhill after that.  And if you post those pics next to his 94-95 pics, you'll see his waist did indeed grow quite a bit.

And why the " around my screen name.  It's a screen name!  Is Bigbobs the given name on your birth certificate?

Wrong again, here's his back in 97, much better than it was in 95.  I dont have the pic scanned but there was a rear double-biceps pose of his from the 95 Olympia in Flex magazine where his back detail was not close to what it is here.  In this pose he's even beating the racist-tattoed bodybuilder who was known for his back.

No the visuals aren't wrong , I've showed you and proved to you via judges , writers and professionals countless times Dorian has better conditioning & density specifically compared to Ronnie , and better balance & proportion , again directly compared to Ronnie and I took it a few steps further , I have this quote from Ronnie in 2003

Ronnie Coleman : DESCRIBE DORIAN YATES: A close friend. Dorian is very intelligent, a great Mr. Olympia. He had the best side-chest pose and the thickest freakiest back I have ever seen.


and one from Shawn Ray commenting on Ronnie's side chest side was never that great compared to people who could actually do it and I posted a visual proof of this thats a proven point , you have nothing but contradiction and denial , see pictures and see for yourself why " The Greatest Mr Olympia Ever " said Dorian Yates had the best side chest pose he ever seen  ;)

Oops.  Looks like somebody did it for you!

Proving my point that his back worsened and his waist widened after 1994/95 with his increased mass.

haney was the best at the time. everyone he stood on stage with up until 1990 he blew away.

his legs were weak, yes, but the only top tier guy that clearly owned him here were ray, strydom, but ray was too small and strydom had no back.

his arms were dwarfed by his torso but, even here, he dominated the top tier. christian could have threatened but didn't have the discipline (prob too many recs killing his motivation). there were a motley crew of guys that had far better arms but those guys (fox, buchanan, quinn, etc) didn't have the rest of the tools ie condition, nowhere close to the level of muscularity and thickness in delts, back, chest (fox was close).

closest haney came to receiving a gift was 1990, but people forget that everyone was off in that comp incl ray and labrada (although they were both in better condition, but condition alone doesn't win an olympia contest).

don't compare haney's dominance to jay's rip off.

The irony of you saying someone doesn't know bodybuilding , you'll gloss right over Ronnie's blatantly obvious imbalance & proportion issues and hoop & holla about others , and all because Ronnie has better ' show muscles ; as you call them

Lee Haney dominated in a way Coleman couldn't for a reason , he had something Coleman didn't aesthetics and size

To paraphrase Branch Warren, let me tell you something about aesthetics, it's just another way of saying small. Lol. In this case small arms and legs. If you don't squat till you drop you don't get a big waist, but you don't get big legs either. Plus you had to choose a Coleman pic from when 2001 to make your point? Ronnie had already won 2 Olympias with an awesome waist and 1 with a relatively mediocre waist but insane proportions elsewhere, i,e, 2000 where he made EVERYONE look like little kids.

Compare him objectively to the other guys and you'll see why he got a perfect score. I mean he makes the others look like they're missing every bodypart, lol.

Shit forgot this wasn't the truce thread. Anyway, Lee Haney was Totalee Awesome, but that doesn't somehow mean Coleman sucked. ::)

No the visuals aren't wrong , I've showed you and proved to you via judges , writers and professionals countless times Dorian has better conditioning & density specifically compared to Ronnie , and better balance & proportion , again directly compared to Ronnie and I took it a few steps further , I have this quote from Ronnie in 2003

Ronnie Coleman : DESCRIBE DORIAN YATES: A close friend. Dorian is very intelligent, a great Mr. Olympia. He had the best side-chest pose and the thickest freakiest back I have ever seen.


and one from Shawn Ray commenting on Ronnie's side chest side was never that great compared to people who could actually do it and I posted a visual proof of this thats a proven point , you have nothing but contradiction and denial , see pictures and see for yourself why " The Greatest Mr Olympia Ever " said Dorian Yates had the best side chest pose he ever seen  ;)

To summarise this whole debate, you base your opinions on those of others. It's true because someone told me so.

Good job avoiding my request to post pics of your hero from the back comparing 1994/95 to 1997 and beyond.

Oops.  Looks like somebody did it for you!

Proving my point that his back worsened and his waist widened after 1994/95 with his increased mass.

And calling me a Dorin guy is just childish.  If you've been awake, you'd remember that I have leveled as much criticism at Dorian's physique issues as I have any BBer.

Still no response from Nasser...oops!  I mean Bigbobs.

No , you couldn't be any more wrong , I base my opinion on a number of things such as who meets the criteria better , who has better conditioning & density , who has better balance & proportion , who is a better technical poser , who has the least amount of flaws , who dominated their competition , who has the best win/loss ratio , and I supplement my opinion ( after the fact ) with those who prove my point for me , so again you couldn't be more wrong .

Stick to the issue dweeb. Nobody writes a scientific paper without citing credible sources. Of course I doubt you'd know anything about the academic world anyways  :-*
