Title: Flex Ranks the BEST Arnold Classic showings of all time ...
Post by: jaejonna on February 29, 2008, 06:01:48 AM
 NUMBER FIVE: SHAWN RAY, 1991
At around 200 pounds the Fastest Lip in The West remains the lightest man to win the Arnold Classic. With eye-popping muscle fullness, outstanding symmetry and a serratus you could slice tomatoes with, he just glided to what would be his second and final pro victory.(doohhhh!!!!!)



 NUMBER FOUR: KEVIN LEVRONE, 1994
This was Levrone when he still had hanging hams and thighs groovier than a Count Basie set. Throw in the aircraft hangar delts, triceps like ham hocks allied to super dry and hard condition and the Maryland Muscle Machine just motored to top spot.



 NUMBER THREE: JAY CUTLER, 2002
Apart from the 2001 Mr. Olympia contest maybe the hardest he’s ever been. With deeply embedded abs and full thighs more ripped than Britney Spears’ copy of Hide and Seek For Dummies, Cutler relegated Chris Cormier to the third of what was to become a run of six consecutive runner-up spots.



 NUMBER TWO: FLEX WHEELER, 1993
This was Flex’s best ever shape. He was chiseled to the max, exhibited more balance than the Cirque du Soleil, and his back double biceps was a thing of beauty. Although he competed until 2003 he was never again as good as he was in his second pro contest that dramatic Columbus night in 2003.



 NUMBER ONE: RONNIE COLEMAN, 2001
Simply the best physique I’ve ever seen onstage. At 245 pounds King Ron was full and shredded from head-to-toe: his cuts being deeper than Bill Gates’ pockets. His delts, arms and chest were spectacular, his back really beyond description. Ten seconds after he first walked out the contest was over.

I think Flex looks better than Ronnie 01 he was just about perfect and no gut too boot ! and I always maintained this was the best Flex ever looked in his career and he never was able to match this again

Cormier was better than Jay cutler that day and the year after...Jay looked better though that time but I have the flex that covered that show and to me Cormier was just better...

Yeah, I just don't get why he (the author of the article) thinks that was the best ANYONE ever looked on stage. His gut could be seen on stage too.

Flex Wheeler had such amazing symmetry. Ronnie does own him in the mass dept which is the only reason why Flex alwyas came in at #2.

Flex 93 and Ronnie AC were both amazing.

but Ronnie wins: he was just as shapely, and WAY wider, with a much thicker back.

he had better arms, better pecs etc.

flex's back was thin and narrow compared to Ronnie's. and his glutes and hams were soft and crappy by comparison. as always..

ronnie had a gut.

but flex had a rear lat spread that didn't materialize when he posed.

nothing happened. that is how narrow he was by comparison.

that is much worse.

lmfao thats much worse NO its not , not in the least Flex was lighter hence not as wide ! again from a pure bodybuilding standpoint that gut voids everything else both have flaws for sure but Flex didn't look pregnant

If Flex had Dorian or Ronnie's mentality he would have been a 3-4X Mr. Olympia if not more. I don't think any one can deny that he had the greatest bb structure and genetics of his time.

Fullness and muscle belly shape - yes.

Greatest bb structure - HELL NO!!

Flex was notoriously narrow.

what killed flex was that he didn't look good "opened up". his lat spreads (front and back) were really poor. everything standout on flex was related to shape and symmetry. ronnie, in 2001 at the ASC, had shape and symmetry at his all time best save 1999 plus that surreal size and far better conditioning than flex ever achieved (and if you don't believe me look at photos taken with them together, not photo A of flex and photo B of ronnie).

ronnie's lows were probably lower than any other mr olympia (2002, for one). but what you can't deny is that there are a few poses that most top pros just never looked good in. flex in his front lat spreads, dorian in a front double biceps and probably side chest. in 2001, ronnie looked incredible in EVERY pose.

yes, he had a little bit of a gut, but it wasn't what it became later and wasn't enough to spoil anything except to the most anal retentive ironagers.

here's a hint for the future: when the only way to make your case is to comb through the pictures to find the absolute worst of ronnie and then "compare" them to the best pictures of flex you can find, you've lost your case. end of story.

nice work using pro photoshoot pictures of flex and carefully timed freezeframes from the video of ron when he's exhaling or going between poses. good work. especially since you always bitch when people do that with dorian. narcissistichypocrite. ::)

I don't bitch when they do it to Yates , I only bitch when they post pictures that aren't of him at his best big difference , I posted pics of Ronnie at his best compared to Flex at his ( go check ) and I seriously laughed out loud when you typed ' exhaling '

look Ronnie even with the gut looked remarkable in 2001 but I think Flex looks even better because he doesn't have one its that simple both have advantages over the other but the gut is a deal breaker

How's that excellent? he's dead wrong lol I never bitched about you guys posted gut shots of Yates at his best , only when you're posting pictures of him NOT at his best to Ronnie , and again Ronnie's not mearly exhaling he has a huge gut and Flex doesn't thats the deal-breaker , and further more I posted shots of Ronnie without the gut showing compared to Flex ( see the back shots ) so once again he's dead wrong on all accounts ! its not an excellent post its a moronic post and the only reason you agree is because you're just as stupid as he is.

Man you're thick , stop projecting your tactics on me YOU post countless shots & comments about width and ignore everything else ! Hulkster did you miss the part where I said both have advantages over the other? I didn't ignore anything and I even said he looks remarkable even with the gut HOWEVER compared to Flex he loses just based on that

I didn't put him down thats another Hulkster lie , I said he looked remarkable in 2001 did you miss that? I know you have reading comprehension problems and all but go back and check my posts  ;) the difference is Flex is just as amazing and he doesn't look damn pregnant thats putting him down? NO thats stating a obvious fact

and ironic you're hell bend on jumping all over me but wont dare attack anyone else who says Flex looks better , still looking for revenge for all the ass-kickings I handed out to you lol

I guess the other people who agreed with me are retards too?  ::) again Ronnie looks pregnant you'll never escape that this is exactly why he doesn't compare to Flex who had NO waist problems .

sigh. all right, ND.

here's a hint for the future: when the only way to make your case is to comb through the pictures to find the absolute worst of ronnie and then "compare" them to the best pictures of flex you can find, you've lost your case. end of story.

nice work using pro photoshoot pictures of flex and carefully timed freezeframes from the video of ron when he's exhaling or going between poses. good work. especially since you always bitch when people do that with dorian. narcissistichypocrite. ::)

very true. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw ND compare high quality photoshoot pics of Flex to blurry screen caps of Ronnie during transition. Of course, he will just deny like he always does when arguing a losing position.

they agreed with you only because of your retarded comparisons - only showing ronnie in transition/gut shots or the lower back shots, ignoring that flex was softer, smaller and narrow overall compared to Ronnie... ::)

he loses all the mandatories to ronnie except for the ab and thigh.

thats it.

if you think that losing 7 of the 8 mandatories makes him better, well, then you are an idiot.

ronnie dominates flex when Ronnie is at his best:  your transition gut shots do nothing to trump reality:

This has NOTHING to do with anyone else , it has to do with your and your monumentally stupid assertion Flex's conditioning was ' very close ' at the 1993 Mr Olympia compared with the Arnold Classic

look you're an idiot , you're posting shots from 1998/1999 Mr Olympia when NO ONE is discussing those contests its the Arnold Classic you idiot , and Flex was much sharper at the ASC and The Ironman than at the Olympia , you wouldn't know this because you don't know a damn thing about competitive bodybuilding


 NUMBER TWO: FLEX WHEELER, 1993
This was Flex’s best ever shape. He was chiseled to the max, exhibited more balance than the Cirque du Soleil, and his back double biceps was a thing of beauty. Although he competed until 2003 he was never again as good as he was in his second pro contest that dramatic Columbus night in 2003.


This says explicitly he never again touch that conditioning and you're the idiot who thinks he was close lmfao how does it feel having everything you ever typed corrected by me? by someone who knows what the fuck they're talking about? Samir Bannout in the coverage says that Flex was way off from his spring showings and Shawn Ray who finished 3rd was actually in better conditioning only feel by the wayside due to Flex's superior shape , again you know absolutely NOTHING about competitive bodybuilding

lmmfao and the 1993 Olympia Flex beat Dorian Yates too LOL you're to simple

the point is that the visuals show that he could and would VERY EASILY.

THAT is the point.

once again, you argue that a lesser bodbuilder can beat a peak ronnie when reality shows quite clearly the opposite:

flex 93 AC vs Ronnie 2001 AC.

Whats not on my side? Ronnie is on my side when he states in 1999 mind you he couldn't beat Dorian , Ronnie is on my side when he says he looked better in 1998 than 1999 , Team Flex is on my side when they stated Dorian has the best back , so did Samir and Ronnie Coleman , McGough states Ronnie 2001 couldn't beat Yates ,  what makes you think for one moment you're subjective opinions are somehow right and mines aren't ?

No Yates does have better triceps and forearms than Ronnie , old news that isn't bull shit thats obvious .

I already demonstrated why Ronnie isn't a reliable source. You undermine yourself every time you quote him to support your argument. As for Team Flex, Bev Francis and Dorian, I agreed with Team Flex about Ronnie having the best back, Bev Francis about symmetry = proportion, and Dorian about the judges choosing Ronnie over him.

saying "you sound like pumpster with the 'show muscles' more hang what a fucking idiot" doesn't constitute a valid explanation. I'm still waiting to hear why Dorian has better triceps when Ronnie beats him in overall triceps mass, separations, and striations. ;)

I've posted 4x the amount of "converging evidence" as you. So what's your point?

Mass depending on the year now mass & density are two separate entities and I've explained a million times you just don't like the answer again he has a better side head it has better shape and separation , his triceps are striated as well now couple that with better proportion in relation between the rest of the ARMS Neo and you have your answer  ;)

One no you didn't I never seen one single quote from anyone who states specific to the argument or Ronnie V Dorian  that Ronnie is harder & drier than Yates ever was , I posted several specific ( key word ) and you posted questions and tried to past them off as declarations lmfao

and the bottom line is this , don't dare say I'm in conflict with those in the know especially when you're idiot who claims every pro Yates quote is wrong and you the ' certified personal trainer ' is right .

Flex is better than Ronnie because he doesn't look pregnant any questions?  ;)

It doesn't effect his mandatory poses.

I never said it didn't effect his mandatories in fact I said the only one it really would is the front double biceps shot , now don't you look stupid making shit up to try and prove a point , but you don't mind looking stupid now do you?  ;)

Who is arguing to the contrary Ronnie isn't the greatest of all time? it doesn't matter lmfao that has NOTHING to do with if Yates could beat him  ;) , again what makes your quotes about Ronnie having the best back right and mine wrong? answer the question LMFAO most shredded bodybuilder ever my ass

you NEVER posted a quote of Ronnie saying he would beat prime Yates thats an outright LIE he eluded to it and NEVER once committed to it BIG DIFFERENCE little man and the other lie is I ignored it , you're getting desperate Neo when you're forced to make shit up  ;)

and you only defeated yourself because you're forced to make heavily slanted fan-boy comparisons and outright LIE about quotes you have NOTHING for me Ronnie Coleman has gone on record not once but twice saying he wouldn't beat Dorian , that ended the Truce Thread the only reason its still going is because of bitter fan-boys like yourself  ;) and now you're forced to chasing me around trying to change every single thread into the truce thread


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.

"Ronnie sporting that [01 ASC] look would, in my opinion, be unbeatable."


That quote is obsolete  ;)


While I’m on record as saying that the best physique I ever saw was Ronnie’s at the 2001 Arnold, he was never drier or harder than Dorian. In fact now that – 14 years after it happened – I recently for the first time saw the video of Dorian posing before the 1993 Olympia I have cause to rethink. I’m now not sure that Ronnie at 245 pounds would beat Dorian at 269 pounds. At a bigger bodyweight I think Ronnie would look soft next to an in-shape rock-hard Dorian.

On the subject of conditioning, no-one did it better than Dorian. He achieved a hardness and dryness (without losing fullness) that nobody has ever matched. In the flesh he looked even harder than he did in photos. It was like a statue made of granite was standing in front of you.

yes.

why do you know so little about bodybuilding such that you freak out when ever peak Ronnie tops all these lists?

and, as a follow up question:

why do you not seem to care that flex not only lost all those poses, but was softer and smaller than ronnie? sure Ronnie had a  gut.

but flex had no lats compared to ronnie.

flaws are flaws.

being NARROW AS HELL is not bodybuilding either kid.

I don't freak out thats your lame interpretation I disagree big difference I'm not melting down like you or Neo or pumpster did on the Truce Thread , I don't meltdown thats NOT my M.O. again its subjective especially about the backs it could go either way something I maintained always on subjective matters

and again what makes team Flex right and Ronnie Coleman , Samir Bannout & Markus Rhul wrong? they all say Yates has a better back are they ' freaking out ' as well? stop projecting your frustration level on me

Again both have advantages over the other I could list Flexes but it doesn't matter because despite any flaw you can name Flex still managed to beat Ronnie , however looking pregnant isn't a flaw its goes against everything bodybuilding is , Flex has the right amount of size , outstanding conditioning , shape and aesthetics and he doesn't look pregnant its that simple .

Dorian said the one guy he thought who could give him problems was Flex despite not being as wide or as thick , again you have the balls to type Shawn Ray did beat Yates but he wasn't anywhere near as wide , its okay when you think its not big deal but if its Ronnie forget it another of the countless examples of you being a hypocrite and a internet-fan-boy  ;)

dorian in 94 WAS wider, but looked like shit compared to shawn according to everyone but you. ::)

Flex 93 was narrow compared to Ronnie, but also was smaller, and not as hard in many areas.

width was NOT the ONLY reason that Ronnie would win.

but it was one of several.

you still don't understand how this sport is judged - you still break it up into isolated peices and can't figure out that the sport is not judged that way..

eg. you insist that no matter what the rest of him looks like relative to Flex, ronnie should not win with a gut.

problem is, that is NOT how the judges look at it.

never have. never will.

no one else does either.

it does matter. Dorian's triceps lack striations in the very pose that's suppose to show them off - the side triceps. Regarding your comment about Dorian's back, I never dismissed his striated traps. I think they're pretty f*cking impressive. However, Ronnie's back as a whole is more impressive.

the bb community gives peak Ronnie the praise he deserves, rightfully putting him ahead of everyone else time after time.

deal with it kid

Do you have to try and follow every thing I do? ( kid ) stop playing follow the leader  ;)

Again what makes Team Flex right and Ronnie Coleman , Markus Rhul , Team Flex ( 1999 ) Samir Bannout and Ellington Darden, Ph.D. wrong? you keep running from this question for a reason  ;)

Peter McGough states Ronnie 2001 was his best showing ( which you denied ) and says its better than 1999 Mr Olympia ( which you denied ) and then goes on to state Ronnie couldn't beat Yates at 269 pounds so stop quoting him like it favors your point , it doesn't


and Ronnie Coleman himself said no once but twice he would never be able to beat Dorian what makes you or anyone more right then this man?  ;) you have nothing as usual ....yeah I thought so  ;)

it does matter. Dorian's triceps lack striations in the very pose that's suppose to show them off - the side triceps. Regarding your comment about Dorian's back, I never dismissed his striated traps. I think they're pretty f*cking impressive. However, Ronnie's back as a whole is more impressive.

huh? You just repeated what I said back to me, but worded it like you disagree with me. ???

Ronnie does commit to an answer. If he had simply said "who do you think?," then you might have something to work with. It doesn't get any more explicit than this.

Ronnie: "Come on now, this is the age of Ronnie Coleman who else would win?"

Who says that shot is supposed to show them off? it doesn't mater he has them you're arguing over trivial shit here , and it wasn't just the striated traps it was the lats & spinal erectors

I do disagree that Ronnie showed more definition in his back post 1999 his back was just as defined in 1998 as it was in 2001 so that does NOT render that list moot and in 2003 Ronnie's back was wider than it was in 1999 albeit softer and not as detailed again its not an advantage , Dorian's back at 269 pounds has the best of all worlds width , thickness , detail and separation better than Ronnie 2001 & 2003 as a whole

"NUMBER ONE: RONNIE COLEMAN, 2001
Simply the best physique I’ve ever seen onstage. At 245 pounds King Ron was full and shredded from head-to-toe: his cuts being deeper than Bill Gates’ pockets. His delts, arms and chest were spectacular, his back really beyond description. Ten seconds after he first walked out the contest was over."

Peter McGough – Flex Magazine, August 2005

"Personally, the best physique I ever saw onstage was Ronnie's at the 2001 Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic. He was cut, full, trim in the waist and a monster (proving that when you're supersharp, you look superbig) at 247 pounds. Ronnie sporting that look would, in my opinion, be unbeatable."

to bad you NEVER ' tore my argument ' apart again you've said it was wrong BIG DIFFERENCE between saying its wrong and proving its wrong , my argument still stands Dorian would beat Ronnie because he has better balance & proportion ( proven ) better density & dryness ( proven ) more complete ( obvious ) a better technical poser ( duh ) and meets the criteria better ( old news ) all you have is denial and anyone who agrees with you is just as dumb as you and remember I'm teaching YOU about competitive bodybuilding not vice versa , as far as knowing competitive bodybuilding you're not in my league kid ( proven fact  ;) )

ND is a bitter bitter man.

why is ronnie grainer?

because you can clearly see he is more detailed, drier, more vascular with deep deep cuts, (deeper than bill gates' pockets in fact) etc.

LMFAO such a bull shit generic explanation vascularity has NOTHING to do with a grainy appearance neither does depth , you're so full of shit and NO ONE agrees with you Ronnie was more grainy than Dorian thats a LIE another Hulkster lie because you don't have anything and never did , Ronnie's NEVER been as hard or as dry as Dorian NEVERMIND as grainy you're a know nothing fan-boy

and I love how you want off this topic in the worse way because you're fucking owned badly , the topic is conditioning you made the dumbass claim Flex isn't as hard or dry as Ronnie 2001 and my response was how the fuck would you know? you're the idiot making claims that Ronnie was more grainy than Dorian and a softer Flex beat a much harder & drier Dorian in 1993 again you know nothing

While I’m on record as saying that the best physique I ever saw was Ronnie’s at the 2001 Arnold, he was never drier or harder than Dorian. In fact now that – 14 years after it happened – I recently for the first time saw the video of Dorian posing before the 1993 Olympia I have cause to rethink. I’m now not sure that Ronnie at 245 pounds would beat Dorian at 269 pounds. At a bigger bodyweight I think Ronnie would look soft next to an in-shape rock-hard Dorian.

On the subject of conditioning, no-one did it better than Dorian. He achieved a hardness and dryness (without losing fullness) that nobody has ever matched. In the flesh he looked even harder than he did in photos. It was like a statue made of granite was standing in front of you.

I'm still laughing out loud that Ronnie is more grainy because he has more veins ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

what a moron

NO you used vasculairty as an explanation on why Ronnie is more GRAINY , grainy which is a fucking joke Ronnie is NOT grainy thats another one of your stupid ass statements

vasculairty is part & parcel of being dry and hard ( and its genetic like striations 0 but is has absolutely NOTHING to do with being grainy thats another Hulkster lie

  How many times have I told you I've seen both Yates and Ronnie live? In my 40 years I've been to some 200 bodybuilding shows, both amateur and pro, including 3 Olympias(1996/00/07) and I've never seen anything that comes even close to Yates in dryness.

  When he walked onstage at the 1996 Olympia, a contest when he wasn't even at his best, everyone gasped in shock. It was like
 a corpse out of the morgue came back to life, oiled up, and stepped onstage. You had to be there to see it. He seemed almost like his skin was going to shrink inside his body. The best way to describe him was that his muscles looked like they were made out of rock and were wrapped in prune-shrinked skin.

  You are aware of the fact that you're comparing a bodybuilder notorious for his tendency to hold water and have faulty conditioning - Ronnie Coleman -, to a man who arguably had the best conditioning ever, right ??? This is not only the opinion of a man who saw it live, but of thousands of people who saw it live. Why can't you understand this?

The best way to describe him was that his muscles looked like they were made out of rock and were wrapped in prune-shrinked skin.

  You are aware of the fact that you're comparing a bodybuilder notorious for his tendency to hold water and have faulty conditioning - Ronnie Coleman -, to a man who arguably had the best conditioning ever, right ??? This is not only the opinion of a man who saw it live, but of thousands of people who saw it live. Why can't you understand this?

Another who agrees with your opinion


While I’m on record as saying that the best physique I ever saw was Ronnie’s at the 2001 Arnold, he was never drier or harder than Dorian. In fact now that – 14 years after it happened – I recently for the first time saw the video of Dorian posing before the 1993 Olympia I have cause to rethink. I’m now not sure that Ronnie at 245 pounds would beat Dorian at 269 pounds. At a bigger bodyweight I think Ronnie would look soft next to an in-shape rock-hard Dorian.

On the subject of conditioning, no-one did it better than Dorian. He achieved a hardness and dryness (without losing fullness) that nobody has ever matched. In the flesh he looked even harder than he did in photos. It was like a statue made of granite was standing in front of you.


and the balls of this kid to suggest your and everyone else is wrong despite NEVER once stepping foot at ANY show nevermind the ones in question he's melting down all over the place.

Sure I do you listed one of the reasons why Ronnie is more grainy than Dorian is because he's more vasclar which is among the dumbest things you ever typed you're not getting out of this one kid lol I love when I press you for an answer and you crack and just type the dumbest shit ! and man did Cigaretteman fucking crush you and your stupidity lol wait he's wrong you have pictures

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA the meltdown continues lol


in all seriousness you don't know much about competitive bodybuilding its okay we all didn't start out knowing a damn thing and you learn your problem is you're to stupid to learn and would rather believe your own bullshit I know you're a proud man but you're a joke.

just because Ronnie held water in 2002 or 3 does NOT mean he was holding water to the same degree at his peak.

you guys cannot produce visuals that show dorian was grainer and drier overall.

eg. here is your dorian at your '269 pounds' that you like to go on about getting OWNED in the conditioning department.

  Stop rolling your eyes like an idiot. I bring a perfectly valid point. Again, answer me why Nasser looks far more spectacular under those lights than he did at any other contest? The answer is obvious: the lightinh enhanced the way his muscles look. There is no other possible explanation. Nasser was at his best at the 1999 ASC and he didn't look as impressive as he did under the 1999 Olympia stage light.

Idiot STRIATIONS are genetic not everyone has them and when the pose was named the levels of conditioning where NO WHERE near showing striations lmfao just another example of you not knowing what the fuck you're talking about lol fuck me you're simple

the side triceps is meant to showcase the triceps development. This includes definition. It doesn't matter if nobody had striated triceps when the pose was first named. Conditioning has improved since then. As a result, the standard for definition has been raised. Your objection is akin to me saying Dorian's striated traps, lats, and lower back don't matter since nobody had that level of conditioning when the back double biceps and back lat spread were named. Talk about a f*cking moron, and you're calling me simple? ::)

Quote
again idiot what does any of these quotes have to do with DORIAN YATES at 269 pounds? NOTHING why do you do this to yourself? you make it to easy to expose how stupid you are

read your own comment again, you dumbass.

"I do disagree that Ronnie showed more definition in his back post 1999 his back was just as defined in 1998 as it was in 2001"

I wasn't comparing Ronnie with Dorian at 269 lbs. I was responding to your claim that Ronnie's back didn't improve from 98 to 01. Learn to read, dipshit.

Quote
please show me definitively where he states he would beat any of them , please Neo do so

there are only 2 logical interpretations - either he would beat Dorian or Dorian would beat him. Which is it? ;)

Post by: NeoSeminole on March 02, 2008, 07:26:53 PM
yeah, okay Peter....

Peter McGough never explicitly said Dorian had better conditioning than 01 ASC Ronnie. He simply said that nobody has ever matched Dorian's dryness and hardness. This actually contradicts what he said earlier about 98 Ronnie.

Peter McGough – unknown

“When Mr. Coleman showed up at the New York event in October, Mr. McGough says he immediately noticed the difference. “He was really much harder,” he says. “He retained his size, but he had the density and granite hardness."

seeing as how he referred to both Dorian and Ronnie as being made of "granite," I don't see how Dorian could be harder unless he was talking about certain types of granite. Now let's look at other quotes regarding Ronnie's superb conditioning at the 01 ASC.

Jim Stoppani - Flex, July 2005

"Has anyone ever displayed a more muscular, more shredded, higher-quality physique than a 247-pound Ronnie Coleman at the 2001 Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic?"

Sean Toh – http://creditplushealth.org/sport%20celebrities/Ronnie%20Coleman.htm

“At the 2001 Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic, Ronnie won the show and his performance at the time was hailed by many to be his best ever showing. He was 245 pounds at the contest, in extremely tight form, and dense as stone.”

one guy hails Ronnie's conditioning as the greatest ever while another compares his density to stone. So unless Dorian was made of diamond, I doubt he had better conditioning than 01 ASC Ronnie.

Stop rolling your eyes like an idiot. I bring a perfectly valid point

no, you bring a perfectly invalid excuse yet again as to why the visuals do not support what you guys are saying.

they support what we are saying, which is also validated by quotes like the one in the article about the AC to begin with..

you guys spend all your time coming up with reasons (ie ridiculous excuses) as to why dorian does not look better/better conditioned than Ronnie coleman does at his peak.

the fact that he was NOT as good or NOT as well conditioned does not seem to be one of the possibilities you are considering.

which is stupid.

because that is the whole damn reason why dorian gets dominated by (peak) ronnie in the first place..


despite what you say, there is no hocus pocus to dorian yates

he was not magical.


what you see is what you get just like everyone else: see the crazy conditioning for yourself. it owns dorian yates.

Peter McGough never explicitly said Dorian had better conditioning than 01 ASC Ronnie. He simply said that nobody has ever matched Dorian's dryness and hardness. This actually contradicts what he said earlier about 98 Ronnie.

Peter McGough – unknown

“When Mr. Coleman showed up at the New York event in October, Mr. McGough says he immediately noticed the difference. “He was really much harder,” he says. “He retained his size, but he had the density and granite hardness."

seeing as how he referred to both Dorian and Ronnie as being made of "granite," I don't see how Dorian could be harder unless he was talking about certain types of granite. Now let's look at other quotes regarding Ronnie's superb conditioning at the 01 ASC.

Jim Stoppani - Flex, July 2005

"Has anyone ever displayed a more muscular, more shredded, higher-quality physique than a 247-pound Ronnie Coleman at the 2001 Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic?"

Sean Toh – http://creditplushealth.org/sport%20celebrities/Ronnie%20Coleman.htm

great post.

these guys are grasping at conspiracy theories at this point.

any excuse (just like in the truce thread) why dorian does not look as good.

agreed. but once again, ND cannot win because reality (visuals) work against him.

so he goes back to dorian vs ronnie, where the same exact thing happens.. ::)

  Which is analogous to saying that no one has matched Dorian's conditioning.

  Hardness&dryness = conditioning

  So what's your point?

almost, but not quite. You're forgetting about being shredded. Ronnie was able to drop more body fat than Dorian. This is evident by Ronnie's better display of separations and striations from head to toe. Genetics influence where you're most (or least) likely to store body fat. A person can have great genetics for displaying striated triceps, but the subcutaneous fat that would normally cover it up must be stored somewhere else (e.g. midsection, back, glutes, etc) otherwise they have a lower body fat % by default.

  Speculation. You don't know if Ronnie dropped more fat than Dorian. Furthermore, I have already explained to you - to no avail -, that there are factors other than bodyfat which play a role in determining how deep a muscle's definition will be.

  Unlikely. Genetics also determine the insertion point of muscles in the tendom, and that affects muscular definition. Again, andreas Munzer showed striations when he was off-season, while there are bodybuilders in contest shape who lack them.

that's like saying Peter McGough's assessment is all speculation. The fact is we will never truly know Dorian's and Ronnie's lean body mass when they competed since nobody measured them using hydrostatic weighing. So the next best thing is to use visuals to estimate their body fat and water levels. Medical literature supports my assessment that Ronnie was more shredded than Dorian.

your response doesn't make any sense. If a person has great genetics for displaying a highly defined body part, then where does the subcutaneous fat and water that normally covers it up go?

  The fact is that it is pure speculation on your part that Ronnie's superior definition was the result of lower bodyfat. There are other elements that affect it. Furthermore, I contend that Dorian was harder exacly because he had lower bodyfat. Can you prove me wrong? No, you can't. McGough was referring to both bodyfat and water levels when he said no bodybuilder has been as hard and dry as Dorian. In this case:

  Hard = low bodyfat&water levels.

  Dry = especifically referring to low water levels.

  You become harder by losing bodyfat. There is no other plausible alternative.

I can prove you wrong beyond a reasonable doubt using medical literature. Conditioning and definition are directly correlated. As a person drops subcutaneous fat and water, the distance between the skin and muscles decreases revealing more separations and striations. There's no medical reason why definition would cease to improve after a certain point while that person continues to drop more fat and water.

Ronnie at the 01 ASC displayed better definition from head to toe than Dorian. Therefore, it logically follows that he had better overall conditioning. Now give me your explanation for why Dorian had lower body fat and water levels. And don't give me a quote b/c I can easily provide quotes supporting my argument. ;)

A person can have great genetics for displaying striated triceps, but the subcutaneous fat that would normally cover it up must be stored somewhere else. For example, my arms and chest are pretty defined even at a higher bf% but I tend to store the extra fat around my waist. One of my friends, however, has the opposite problem - he has visible abs at a higher bf% but his arms and chest lack definition.

Now let's look at my question again. If a person has great genetics for displaying a highly defined body part, then where does the subcutaneous fat and water that normally covers it up go?

the side triceps is meant to showcase the triceps development. This includes definition. It doesn't matter if nobody had striated triceps when the pose was first named. Conditioning has improved since then. As a result, the standard for definition has been raised. Your objection is akin to me saying Dorian's striated traps, lats, and lower back don't matter since nobody had that level of conditioning when the back double biceps and back lat spread were named. Talk about a f*cking moron, and you're calling me simple? ::)

read your own comment again, you dumbass.

"I do disagree that Ronnie showed more definition in his back post 1999 his back was just as defined in 1998 as it was in 2001"

I wasn't comparing Ronnie with Dorian at 269 lbs. I was responding to your claim that Ronnie's back didn't improve from 98 to 01. Learn to read, dipshit.

Ronnie: "Come on now, this is the age of Ronnie Coleman who else would win?"

there are only 2 logical interpretations - either he would beat Dorian or Dorian would beat him. Which is it? ;)

Again you're arguing over dumb shit he has striated triceps just because you can't see them in the side triceps shot means NOTHING what does it mean? he's triceps aren't well defined? lol and again striations aren't always a great indicator of a well conditioned person because you can be holding water and still be striated even without the striations in the side triceps shot Dorian is still the driest & hardest guy

you made the claim that quote was useless because it was from 1999 and Ronnie's back improved by 2001/2003 , his back didn't improve by 2001 thats simple not true and how did it improve by 2003? he was wider but it came at the expense of detail & hardness so having a wider softer back is improvement? bottom line what makes the latest team flex list more valid than the old one and many other who have said Yates back is better all post 2001 with the Ronnie quote coming from 2003 !! as well,  its all a matter of opinion on a very subjective topic ! to claim this list is valid and anyone else who disagrees is wrong is laughable I've said many times its arguable thats the difference you people are claiming its law and its not

Ronnie's back did improve from 98 to 01. You're a f*cking moron if you think he just sat on his ass and didn't work out back for 3 years. He may not have added a lot of size and definition, but his back did improve.

and how did it improve by 2003? he was wider but it came at the expense of detail & hardness so having a wider softer back is improvement?

Ronnie wasn't just wider in 03. He was a hell of a lot wider, thicker, and fuller.

no shit conditioning and definition are directly correlated , who arguing its not? separations are partly genetic as well as striations and its been explained to you that striations aren't always an accurate gauge for determining great conditioning because one can be striated and still be holding water and why some bodybuilder have more striations in places others don't the same with vascularity , Munzer was the only guy I've ever seen with striated rectus femoris and its NOT because others have never been as dry or as hard its because he was dry and because of his genetics

I've said many times Ronnie may have matched Yates for that extremely dry & dense looks only at his lightest Dorian could maintain that same conditioning at much higher bodyweights ! but to claim Ronnie is better conditioned despite never seeing him in person or Dorian for that matter is just so limited ! and then to say the people who have seen them both as their best are wrong is just stupid and arrogant

I've posted many quotes from pros , judges and writers all saying two things , pictures & video are USELESS compared to actually being at an event and Dorian ontop of that looks leaps & bounds better in person than he does in pictures and video , your opinion no matter how well thought you believe to be is severely limited to begin with and now couple that with your blatant bias there is no way for you to make declarations on who is better conditioned and then have the balls to claim the people who were there are wrong and the people who do know like Dorian Yates who is an IFBB judge is wrong it just boggles the mind

NO it means genetically he's not predisposed for striations in this area for what ever reason its the same with veins some are more vascular like Jim Quinn  and other guys who were just as conditioned aren't

pics are a reliable means of ascertaining one's conditioning. I agree that bodybuilders look more impressive in person, but that applies to almost every competitor - not just Dorian. So it's safe to assume that Ronnie would look equally more impressive live than in pics. This negates whenever people say "you have to see Dorian in person to understand."

and to add insult to injury Dorian Yates ( who is an IFBB judge mind you ) has said specifically to the topic of who was better conditioned said he had better conditioning than Ronnie!

Dorian never stated which versions he was comparing. For all we know, he could have been comparing his 95 self to Ronnie in 04.

You posted a comment about Ronnie's triceps are better because they're striated and I posted 3 pictures clearly showing Yates has striated triceps , then you said well he doesn't have them in the side triceps pose and I laughed at you for being retarded like it means anything ( because one can have striations and still be holding water ) like his arms are really conditioned in one pose but when it ' counts ' the most ( side triceps ) they're not LMFAO his arms are still dry & hard despite not have visible striations in the side triceps shot

and again my points still stand Dorian did have better triceps than Ronnie & forearms , I love your win by default position , ' either show me a shot of Yates triceps striated in side triceps pose or concede his triceps are inferior ' lmfao you're just to simple kid ! show me one single pic of Ronnie with striated traps , lats & spinal erectors like Dorian or you run the risk of conceding his back is inferior LMFAO I mean its just retarded

Quote
Ronnie's back did improve from 98 to 01. You're a f*cking moron if you think he just sat on his ass and didn't work out back for 3 years. He may not have added a lot of size and definition, but his back did improve.

I love how you just say it improved but don't offer up any proof what so ever , just that he worked out really hard LMFAO

1998 Ronnie was dry & hard at 247 pounds his back looked outstanding 1999 his back is fuller & wider ( because he's heavier duh ) 2000 his back is even wider and fuller than ever before , its also a lot softer and not as detailed

2001 Ronnie completely dries out again and low and behold he's down to 244 pounds , you think his back is wider than 1998? NO thicker than 1998? NO harder than 1998? NO shows better separation between the muscles? NO so specific to his back improved in 2001 over 1998 you're dead wrong period

Quote
Ronnie wasn't just wider in 03. He was a hell of a lot wider, thicker, and fuller.


Ronnie's back improved at the 01 ASC (better definition) and 03 Mr. Olympia (better size). The quote you posted was from 99. So it's null and void. The new Flex list takes into account Ronnie's latter years.

Thicker & fuller in 2003 mean softer & less detailed , he was wider ( duh 287 pounds ) the same contest they hail his 2001 ASC showing as better for a reason so is 2003 really an improvement? what aspect other than being fuller and wider at the expense of hardness & detail is an improvement ? its not

2003 is also the year Ronnie said Yates had the thickest & freakiest back he ever seen you think the Flex list makes this null & void SORRY not quite or the Samir quote or the Rhul quote of others? sorry I don't think so.

thanks for playing , we have some lovely parting gifts for you .

I said Ronnie's overall triceps are better b/c they are bigger and more defined. Get it right. And the 3 pics you posted were all the same pose. I posted 3 different poses where Ronnie's triceps are striated, and 5 more where they look good in mandatory poses besides in the side triceps. If Dorian's triceps were better, then they should look good in more than 1 mandatory pose.

pics are a reliable means of ascertaining one's conditioning. I agree that bodybuilders look more impressive in person, but that applies to almost every competitor - not just Dorian. So it's safe to assume that Ronnie would look equally more impressive live than in pics. This negates whenever people say "you have to see Dorian in person to understand."

Dorian never stated which versions he was comparing. For all we know, he could have been comparing his 95 self to Ronnie in 04.

maybe you missed this part. ;)

"There's no medical reason why definition would cease to improve after a certain point while that person continues to drop more fat and water."

so answer the question: if a person has great genetics for displaying a highly defined body part, then where does the subcutaneous fat and water that normally covers it up go? Does it just magically disappear or does it get stored somewhere else?

Peter McGough Flex Magazine May 2002

Let it be said that the camera can lie at physique contests. Some guys look great onstage but not so great on final film (Dorian Yates, for one) and vice versa (Shawn Ray is an example). 


now from a size prospective it would apply to all bodybuilders but from the aspect of details and conditioning it wouldn't and why? many factors but again I've posted countless quotes from writers , competitors and judges going out of their way to explain this , yet I don't see any quotes stating the same for Ronnie ever wonder why? I'll elaborate on why I think its this way ......skin tone Black bodybuiders don't have the same problem as white bodybuilders especially ones like Dorian with fair skin the contest lighting contrasts better off of dark skin especially better in pictures & video , while the same lighting can wash out the details on a fairer skin person , again to claim this applies to everyone is not accurate

Quote
Dorian never stated which versions he was comparing. For all we know, he could have been comparing his 95 self to Ronnie in 04.

The question was posed Ronnie at his best vs Dorian at his , so it doesn't matter and converge that with the McGough statement that Ronnie was NEVER as hard or dry as Yates it doesn't matter which year , lets say Ronnie did match Yates at the least for conditioning he would only do so at his absolute lightest he'd still be down thickness , bulk and proportion , and posing etc , etc so its moot

Quote

"There's no medical reason why definition would cease to improve after a certain point while that person continues to drop more fat and water."

No i read it and again the medical reason is genetic predisposition thats why you just don't believe and again striations can be seen under a film of water so much for that

the sub-q fat & water is lost during the process of become dense and dry lmfao so Dorian's biceps could be just as split & defined as Ronnie's if he just dried out a little more? LMFAO

as well as striated ! again it does NOT matter if Dorian's triceps aren't striated in any other pose his triceps as as hard and dry as they come they're just as conditioned as Ronnies , and you think they only look good in one pose I disagree and so did the judges so my point stands he had better triceps & forearms

Neither of those shots touch Yates in the lowerlats & spinal erectors I don't even need to post pictures we all know  ;)

not quite. Theorectically, Dorian would have to also lose fat and water from his delts, pecs, and quads before his arms could become as defined as Ronnie's (i.e. no such thing as 'spot reduction'). However, the human body cannot drop below a certain amount without risking death. So he would ultimately still carry some fat and water somewhere. The same applies to Ronnie. His midsection and back never achieved the same definition as Dorian's b/c he genetically stored more fat and water there.

again see the McGough ( among many others )

While I’m on record as saying that the best physique I ever saw was Ronnie’s at the 2001 Arnold, he was never drier or harder than Dorian. In fact now that – 14 years after it happened – I recently for the first time saw the video of Dorian posing before the 1993 Olympia I have cause to rethink. I’m now not sure that Ronnie at 245 pounds would beat Dorian at 269 pounds. At a bigger bodyweight I think Ronnie would look soft next to an in-shape rock-hard Dorian.

On the subject of conditioning, no-one did it better than Dorian. He achieved a hardness and dryness (without losing fullness) that nobody has ever matched. In the flesh he looked even harder than he did in photos. It was like a statue made of granite was standing in front of you.

again you're wrong and watching the Arnold Classic Larry Pepe just happened to mention that pictures & video don't do justice all the ' fine details ' are lost

Quote
I've posted quotes saying 01 ASC Ronnie matched or exceeded Dorian's conditioning. So what's your point?

another Neo outright LIE you most certainly did NOT post quotes saying Ronnie specifically matched DORIAN YATES nevermind exceeded it , you posted a quote commenting on Ronnie's conditioning NOT Ronnie's conditioned compared to Dorian , stop making shit up your frustration level is showing

bullshit, that's like me saying "Dorian was genetically predisposed to have striated traps, lats, and erector spinae." ::)

he is and hence why he has them ( traps ) and NO ONE else does you can cry foul all you want it doesn't change the fact , you're claiming Ronnie exceeded Yates' conditioning yet his traps were never striated , his spinal erectors and lower lats never looked like Dorians , I wonder why  ;)

again I disagree he never achived Yates' like striations because he's not genetically predisposed for them , muscle shape , length , and separation along with striations are all genetically limited . sure you have to be well conditioned to see the the details but in the end no amount of dieting is going to get striations to appear , again Dorian's conditioning was hailed as the gold standard for the 1990s and even to this day guys are not getting harder and drier

His posts reek of fanboyism so bad that it seems like he worships Ronnie as a god. It is quite sad, actually.

Fantastic post and right on the money ! he loves to play with words. the funny part is solely based on pictures & video , despite never once seeing ANY professionals live & in person  he's going to tell the people who were actually there they're wrong , you can't argue with a guy like this he's beyond the point of being taken seriously.

the irony of your statement is amazing, considering YOUR argument is solely based on quotes and opinions that are CONTRADICTED by people who have seen all these guys (eg. this list putting ronnie first, the best back list doing the same, McGough not only stating that 2001 AC ronnie is the best he has ever seen - which includes DORIAN ::), but also that 99 ronnie 'advanced the sport' the night he won the olympia)  and CONTRADICTED by VIRTUALLY ALL AVAILABLE VISUAL EVIDENCE..

 ::)

you pick and chose which quotes to believe, ignoring the fact that there are quotes on both sides of the argument.

and then, you criticize someone for looking to REAL VISUAL EVIDENCE for support - since the quotes don't do anything because there are contradictory ones all over the place.

if you had a brain, you would realize that looking to visuals when the opinions are everywhere is the right thing to do - because visuals are much more reliable than opinions that have contradictory assertions from others who were also 'there'..

and you don't seem to see a problem with this.. ::)

you aren't smart enough to see it.. :-\

Ronnie had more overall separations and striations from head to toe. Regarding his back definition, I already told you that's where he stored his remaining body fat and water. If he lost what little he had left, then he would have dangerously low levels and risk death since our bodies need some fat and water to carry out natural processes.

Again stop trying to connect the dots , Ronnie was hard so therfore his conditioning was as good or exceeded Yates you're an out and out liar NO WHERE did you ever post a quote saying Ronnie Coleman matched or surpassed Dorian Yates in the conditioning department

I posted two quotes SPECIFIC to the debate you never once did that and are reduced to lying , another out right lie by you is claiming you posted a quote praising Ronnie's 01 ASC as the best ever you posted a question and no where ever did that question say it was Ronnie was the greatest ever , and stop projecting your inability to read on me you're the moron who who posts questions are tries to pass them off as declarations

Again you're stuck thinking striations & separations means a person is the best conditioned NOT true because one can be striated & separated and still be holding water , the best conditioned gut has thin skin * being totally dried out * and is the hardest * lack of intramuscular fat * thats the best conditioned guy thats Dorian Yates

duh because your muscles are covered in fat & water the lower these two become the striations ( and separations ) will appear the bottom line is no matter how dry & hard one becomes he's not going to get striations in the muscle if he's not genetically predisposed for them , again Ronnie's rectus femoris never showed cross-striations like Andreas Munzer despite the muscle being stripped of fat & water clearly showing great separation and development , its not because he still has some more fat & water to lose its because of genetics , hence why Munzer had more than anyone in this history of bodybuilding

and you weren't ' parodying ' me with semantics its your M.O. you love to TRY and play with words to attempt to fit them to your argument classic example "
I've posted several quotes from people who said Ronnie was hard as granite " so therefore he's just as conditioned than Dorian  ::) you have no argument the moment you claimed you were right and McGough & Yates were wrong , again you can't be taken seriously and I'm glad someone who doesn't have an vested intrest in these debates can see right through your bull shit and laughable tactics .

Again stop trying to connect the dots , Ronnie was hard so therfore his conditioning was as good or exceeded Yates you're an out and out liar NO WHERE did you ever post a quote saying Ronnie Coleman matched or surpassed Dorian Yates in the conditioning department

so you're telling me they are referring to different types of granite? Which kind is Dorian and which is Ronnie? ::)

Peter McGough – unknown

“When Mr. Coleman showed up at the New York event in October, Mr. McGough says he immediately noticed the difference. “He was really much harder,” he says. “He retained his size, but he had the density and granite hardness."

Jim Stoppani - Flex, July 2005

"Has anyone ever displayed a more muscular, more shredded, higher-quality physique than a 247-pound Ronnie Coleman at the 2001 Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic?"

Sean Toh – http://creditplushealth.org/sport%20celebrities/Ronnie%20Coleman.htm

“At the 2001 Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic, Ronnie won the show and his performance at the time was hailed by many to be his best ever showing. He was 245 pounds at the contest, in extremely tight form, and dense as stone.”

Quote
Again you're stuck thinking striations & separations means a person is the best conditioned NOT true because one can be striated & separated and still be holding water , the best conditioned gut has thin skin * being totally dried out * and is the hardest * lack of intramuscular fat * thats the best conditioned guy thats Dorian Yates

I've seen old guys with thin, leathery skin that looks harder than mine. Does that make them more conditioned than me? No. ;)

Quote
duh because your muscles are covered in fat & water the lower these two become the striations ( and separations ) will appear the bottom line is no matter how dry & hard one becomes he's not going to get striations in the muscle if he's not genetically predisposed for them , again Ronnie's rectus femoris never showed cross-striations like Andreas Munzer despite the muscle being stripped of fat & water clearly showing great separation and development , its not because he still has some more fat & water to lose its because of genetics , hence why Munzer had more than anyone in this history of bodybuilding

Munzer also had the best conditioning of all-time. It's no coincidence that he was the most defined.

“When Mr. Coleman showed up at the New York event in October, Mr. McGough says he immediately noticed the difference. “He was really much harder,” he says. “He retained his size, but he had the density and granite hardness

No where does it say Mr Coleman is harder & drier than Dorian Yates and this is coming from the same guy who spoke made that quote

While I’m on record as saying that the best physique I ever saw was Ronnie’s at the 2001 Arnold, he was never drier or harder than Dorian. In fact now that – 14 years after it happened – I recently for the first time saw the video of Dorian posing before the 1993 Olympia I have cause to rethink. I’m now not sure that Ronnie at 245 pounds would beat Dorian at 269 pounds. At a bigger bodyweight I think Ronnie would look soft next to an in-shape rock-hard Dorian.

On the subject of conditioning, no-one did it better than Dorian. He achieved a hardness and dryness (without losing fullness) that nobody has ever matched. In the flesh he looked even harder than he did in photos. It was like a statue made of granite was standing in front of you.

see how its done kid? thats definitive and specific to the argument at hand not some dumb quote mentioning how he looked in relation to his competition

just keep telling yourself that all the visuals in the sport mean nothing.

we aren't talking about one or two pics where ronnie looks better - we are talking about, well, 1600+ pages worth plus videos galore..

why do you think you avoid visuals like the plauge?  ::)

visuals most certainly count when you're LIVE & IN PERSON  ;) not sitting at home on your PC looking at pictures and determining Ronnie is more grainy than Dorian because he has more veins LMFAO

Dorian KILLS Ronnie in terms of muscle hardness and dryness I proved this point with firsthand eyewitness accounts of VISUAL EVIDENCE and I posted pictures and video as well , you're like Neo and idiot who thinks they know what they're talking about and funny all your points contradict the people who were there

Hulkster he is unbiased especially when he claimed the best physique he seen ( amended  ;) ) was in fact Ronnie Coleman you wren't questioning his bias when it was pro Ronnie but when its pro-Yates you cry like a little bitch just another example of your hypocrisy

absolutely Dorian's hardness at that weight is unmatched striations are genetic and can be seen under a film of water so thats not the best gauge of dense conditioning and look at the ' comparison ' you set up LMFAO and then you actually have the balls to type that pictures are accurate what a tool

the Dorian picture is a screengrab from YouTube of a very shitty quality video to begin with he's untaned , he has no posing oil or contest lighting

the Ronnie picture is a much higher quality screengrab of Ronnie in contest form under contest lighting with posing oil and who knows if your buddy tampered with this one ( again you people aren't above it ) and you actually have the balls to type pictures are accurate? get the hell out of here you troll

Ronnie 1999

eview of mr. olympia 1999, january 2000, page  90:

257 pounds, a good seven pounds heavier than last year and the clear winner, ALTHOUGH NOT AS BONE DRY OR AS ROCK HARD IN 98.

Musclemag's 99 contest report clearly states Ronnie in 99 was sharper than last year. see the truce thread.

this quote is JUST AS VALID as McGough's quote - and it is validated by visual evidence, unlike McGough's quote.

NO its NOT and he can he just as sharp jackass ( assuming its true ) and NOT as hard learn what you're talking about before you comment

Ronnie Coleman what was your best Olympia? I would have to say my first because my conditioning was SPOT-ON

you think that trumps Ronnie's opinion? or McGoughs? learn what density & dryness are before you comment lol just as sharp has nothing to do with just as dense you always think you got something and you never do.

in bodybuilding, when we refer to sharpness, it refers to overall conditioning.

always has.

always will.

when we say dorian was 'sharper in 95 than in 94' we know that what that means is that he was in better condition in 95 than in 94.

jesus christ man learn how to interpret the english fucking language for once :-\

musclemag states quite clearly that Ronnie was in better condition (ie SHARPER) in 99 than in 98 (this is validated by videos, pics, other quotes (eg peter's prior quote)

so you can take that scanned quote you love to post about ronnie's conditioning in 99 by peter and shove it right up your ass lol

and talk about embarrassment you actually had the balls to type Ronnie is more grainy than Dorian because he's more vascular I mean seriously what do you know? you claimed Dorian lost the 1993 Mr Olympia to Flex Wheeler and you have the balls to talk about embarrassment? you after reviewing the ' visual evidence ' came to the conclusion that Ronnie 1999 had more detailed calves than Dorian lol you would know about embarrassment wouldn't you?

I'll tell you why because its NOT and for the simple fact he's NOT as hard & dry as he was in 2001 or even 1998 , McGough and Ronnie himself have stated this you can NOT change this fact get over it .

you're the fucking idiot who thinks Ronnie was A. grainer than Dorian and B. its partially because he has more veins LMMFAO don't ever comment on anyone's intelligence you moron

I'll tell you why because he's not as hard or dry in 199 thats why , according to McGough and according to Ronnie himself


and here are quotes all hailing 2001 as his prime conditioning and NOT 1999

Flex Magazine August 2003

Jim Schmatltz on Ronnie chances of winning six Olympias in a row

if he repeats his 2001 Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic form, he'll experience the joy of six.


While I’m on record as saying that the best physique I ever saw was Ronnie’s at the 2001 Arnold, he was never drier or harder than Dorian.

Quote
review of mr. olympia 1999, january 2000, page  90:

257 pounds, a good seven pounds heavier than last year and the clear winner, ALTHOUGH NOT AS BONE DRY OR AS ROCK HARD IN 98.

RONNIE COLEMAN : ( 264lbs As big as a house , but holding water. In '98 , he was shredded and bone dry at 250 pounds. Last year ( 1999 ) he was 257 pounds but NOT as sharp as '98. This year ( 2000 ) at 264 pounds , he's not as sharp as 99 , which would seem to say that Ronnie is better at a lighter weight .


Shawn Perine Ironage Dec 11, 2004

As much as I love Haney and my IA champs, I think Ronnie circa '98 or at the 2001 Arnold is pretty much untouchable. Except by Dorian Yates 6 weeks out from the '93 O as photographed by our own KMH. Both men, on those specific occasions carried so much dry muscle mass in good proportion and with good lines that it's almost unfair to compare them to others.


notice the 1998 & 2001

again NO mentioned of 1999 as being his best showing for a REASON  ;)

go to musclemecca

go to MD's board.

go ANYWHERE where pics/videos are shown of 1999 and this statement is made ALL THE TIME.

you are more fucked than before!



I'm talking respected people not a bunch of fab-boys like you , hell I wouldn't even bother posting all the Youtube , Ironage and other boards comments on how Yates destroys Ronnie they don't count , especially NOT compared to Ronnie Coleman himself who said hewas better conditioned in 1998  ;)

LOL the great NaiveDeity has spoken - he states it is FACT even though eyewitnesses AND ALL the visuals show Ronnie was harder in 99 than in 98..

but none of that matters because internet fan ND has spoken..

LOL

You guys are pathetic boy lol always playing follow the leader , hey they say if you can't beat em , join em .

Ronnie what was your best Olympia? Ronnie Coleman: I would have to say my first because my conditioning was spot-on.

ND if Peter feels Ronnie was better in 98 than in 99, please explain why there is NO MENTION OF 1998 in his article about Mr. O wins that advanced the sport.

only 99 is mentioned. and it is LAST in the list.

to date as of 2005 when that article was written, Ronnie Coleman 1999 was the most advanced Mr. O. physique ever seen onstage.

and there is NOTHING you can do to change the written word of that article

you are fucked kid.

Hulkster again playing with words will get you NO WHERE he states in that same article he couldn't choose a best Mr Olympia , so stop trying to act like he did thats another LIE you've attempted to propagate , and he lists the Olympia in chronological order jackass ( learn to read ) and he states specifically he was better in 2001 WHY? because he was harder & drier jackass

if you are talking about physiques that 'advanced the sport' and you make a list with times associated with them, the LAST person in the list is tops. No matter who it is. In this case it is Ronnie. (as always he tops most lists much to your anger LOL)

because by definition, it is not possible to advance the sport by going backwards.

it doesn't work that way.

Flex Magazine October 2004 - Peter McGough’s commentary on the "voodoo" that has now reached ridiculous complexity when it comes to trying to "dry out" bodybuilders so they’re more ripped than any anatomy chart illustration on contest day. He quotes former Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates, who notes that despite the chemistry experiments with insulin and diuretics, "I don’t see the guys getting any harder."

advancement? lmao

He says the best "Olympia" he "saw" was either 1988 or 1993. No where does he say he "saw" the best "physique".

The best Olympia I "saw" on video and pics were either 1972 or 1999 because (I'll borrow a line from Peter, LOL)  "So many competitors in great shape in both and so many storylines in both." The best "physique" I have "seen" was 1999 Coleman.

These are two different things (Olympia & Physique) incase you don't know. It's real simple. So that quote is just useless.

In an issue of FLEX where Peter reviews the Mr. Olympia 1999, he states that Ronnie Colemans physique gave him the same reaction as seeing Sergio Oliva back in the 60's. I'm not sure what the girls name was next to him (I want to say Beth?), but she gasped as Ronnie disrobed. Peters reaction to that was "Thank you (insert name), you made me feel very old."

That same issue, he talked about Ronnie having the best Olympia body.

Yeah the best physique he ever saw was onstage was Ronnie Coleman 2001 ASC NOT 1999 Mr Olympia and he said the best physique he saw off-stage was Dorian 7 weeks out from the 1993 Mr Olympia and what did he say about that physique compared to Ronnie 2001?  ;)

Peter McGough on the famous Kevin Horton precontest black & whites of Dorian at 269lbs

I was present when those shots were taken and it was the most stunning unveiling of a physique these peepers had seen since my intial view of SERGIO OLIVA at the 1971 NABBA Mr Universe. that day , Dorian's physique blew my - if not his own -socks off.

LMFAO advanced NO it wasn't he said he couldn't choose a best Mr Olympia so stop making shit up you're a blatant liar .



On July 4, I found myself in conversation with Lou Ferrigno. No, we weren't talking about Paul Revere and Mad King George; instead, with the 2005 Olympia Weekend looming like a Ronnie Coleman lat spread, the Hulk wanted to know who I thought was the best-ever Mr. Olympia. My response was that it was impossible to choose. All any athlete--in any sport--can do is become the best in his era, and it is futile to try to compare champions from different eras.

Instead of choosing a best-ever Mr. Olympia, maybe all one can do is reflect on 40 years of Olympia history and highlight those instances where the winner advanced the sport on that particular day. With that in mind, I would nominate the following.

My response was that it was impossible to choose.

NO WHERE does he say Ronnie Coleman advanced the sport more than Dorian Yates NO WHERE does it say his physique was better than Dorian Yates in fact he says its impossible to choose a best Mr Olympia


Peter McGough

Given his stunning superiority, the judges saw no need to include him in a muscularity comparison, so Wayne DeMilia called out Yates, Flex Wheeler and Shawn Ray just for the audience.


Ronnie 1999 advanced the sport my ass , Dorian Yates was so devastating he didn't even need to be included in the muscularity round , first time in bodybuilding history did that happen in 1999? yeah I thought so  ;)

the guy didn't even need to be included in the muscularity round that unheard of to echo the sentiments of Samir Bannout , Dorian was first , second and third !

I only chime in here from time to time but I still stand my
ground that the 1999 Mr. Olympia showed the best bodybuilding
physique on or off stage. As more people are expossed to his great
combination of size, shape, condition and aesthetics of that year, the
more people realize how great he was in 1999.

The main thing that bothers me about this whole thread is how much
emphasis is put on what one man says; that man being Mr. McGough.
Although very respected and VERY knowledgable about bodybuilding,
he is also personal friends with Dorian and also just one man in a mass of other
bodybuilding experts.

I recently found the 1999 Mr. Olympia report from Musclemag International
and pulled some comments from videos on youtube.
My 2 cents to add to my opinion...

Natural Mr. Olympia - John Hansen

When Ronnie won his first Mr. Olympia contest in 1998, it was one of the most exciting victories in the sport's history. His biceps, back and chest are absolutely incredible and nearly everyone agrees that he owns the Rear Double Biceps pose in this sport. Many people in the sport have also talked about the fact that Ronnie Coleman may be the best Mr. Olympia ever!
Last year, Ronnie was about ten pounds heavier and he was just as ripped as when he won the contest the first time in 1998.

Musclemag International 1999 Mr. Olympia Review By Johnny Fitness

Ronnie was gargantuan, herculean, and every adjective in between.
He was ripped, sharper than last year, and filled with a champions confidence.

Youtube comments after watching a compressed video of Ronnie 1999.
The + signs indicate the number of people taking the time to agree with the comment.
These particular videos have only been posted for 2 months.
1. This year, you can clearly see why he is the best in history of bodybuilding and you can see why he deserved the win.
2. Best shape ever from RON +5
3.this was the best performance by the best bodybuilder ever... if he could have kept this form he could easily have beaten jay cutler the last 2 years. +5
4. 99olympia was Ronnie's best shape in his career. +5
5. that is absolutely aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaweso me!Had he maintained his shape and size no one would have defeated him!Never!No one will ever achieve such a physique!This is natural phenomenon! +6
6. boy...ronnie looked perfect during this time.. +6
7. Ronnie is just a freak. I've seen great bbs and their fantastic pose, but Ronnie just freaks all those guys out. +5
8. Holy fucking shit....holy cow. I never seen that kind of mass with such insanely deep cuts in my life. I thought he looked good in 2003....boy was I wrong. Wow....I'm almost speechless but yea...no one will ever look this good again. The combination of dense hard rock full ripped muscle on every inch of his body is just insane. +2
9. There won't ever be any bodybuilder better than Ronnie Coleman in 99 +9
10. The BEST Olympia performance to date!
11. RONNIES BEST  +3
12. Coleman at is Best!! +2
13.Out of all the Olympias Ronnie won he was in his best condition. He still held the mass as well on top of it +2

Bodybuilding comments after being exposed to1999 pictures.

1. In my mind ,thats Ronnies best ever shape. 1999
2. i agree.. that was a great physique alright...
3. the 99 RC is the best physique to ever step onstage
4. 99= Ronnies best ever
5. Thank you! I thought i was the only one who liked the 99' Coleman over the 03' one.
6. I agree with you FLEX 99 he looked the best IMO.
7. That physique is untouchable
8. 99 better than 03, untoucable
9. Ronnie's best ever
10. theres not a soul on this planet that could beat his shape in 99
11. nothings gonna beat his physique from the 1999 O.
12. 99-the best ever ronnie
13. 99 Ronnie Coleman... thge greatest EVER!!! COLEMAN 1999>ANYBODY!!!

I did comment another lie you're propagating. again Ronnie Coleman himself said he was better conditioned in 1998 which backs up Mcgough's claim you didn't own shit and never have

I don't post on the truce thread because I fucking won  ;) whats the sense? and how did I win ? right here your hero conceding defeat to Dorian Yates in 1999 LMMFAO the year you claim he advanced the sport and then again in 2007

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 couldn't see too much else stopping him.


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.


your own hero ended the truce thread for me how fucking great is that? so please don't act like you scared me away because nothing could be further than the truth , I answered every single one of your ridiculous comments and posts I've addressed everything you ever typed , I won the truce thread and now like a lost puppy you follow me around looking for revenge , how sad .

Ronnie is great...love the guy....but this one goes out to Flex on that fateful day 15 years ago......he looked wonderful and what he brought to the stage has never been equalled for purity and class.

Since this has gone off topic anyway I'm going to explain
why I think Ronnie was better at the 1999 Mr. Olympia than
the 2001 AC.
1st - I do think Ronnie was drier at the 2001 AC but I don't think
he was harder. I also don't think him being drier at the AC improved his
physique and I'll explain why. (I'll also explain some other reasons why
besides this first point.)
The object of coming in dry is to minimize subcutaneous water while
maximizing intracellular water. I think the visual evidence shows that
Ronnie's subcutaneous water levels were about the same for both contests.
 (I've seen the AC DVD 3 times with 3 different sources of lighting;
Onstage-Pumproom-Photoshoots) and he doesn't look nearly as full
(intracellular water) as he does in 99. This effect would make the muscles fuller,
pushing against the skin, therefore producing more hardness.
He was 10-12 pounds heavier in 1999 and looked every bit as ripped as 2001.
Even though Ronnie was lighter I believe his waist and gut were bigger than 1999.
I think this is from going up to the 285-295 mark. (Something he probably had not done
before the 1999 Olympia.) Once he went this high in weight there was no returning
back to the smaller waist/gut he had in earlier years.
He was in fairly sharp shape at 285 in 2000 at a guest posing and I don't think he needed to
drop 40 pounds to be at his best ever.
I know these are not the same lighting or perfect scale but I think they will help make the point.

1st 2 pics are Ron guest posing in 2000 in pretty good shape at 285.

intercostals were this sharp.

Again don't ever question my knowledge of competitive bodybuilding jackass you're the fucking idiot who claimed Flex won in 1993 and again Dorian wasn't needed in the muscularity rounds for a good reason it was redundant whats was the sense?

you're just bitter because Ronnie was NEVER good enough to win in such grand fashion  ;)

The object of coming in dry is to minimize subcutaneous water while
maximizing intracellular water. I think the visual evidence shows that
Ronnie's subcutaneous water levels were about the same for both contests.
 (I've seen the AC DVD 3 times with 3 different sources of lighting;
Onstage-Pumproom-Photoshoots) and he doesn't look nearly as full
(intracellular water) as he does in 99. This effect would make the muscles fuller,
pushing against the skin, therefore producing more hardness.
He was 10-12 pounds heavier in 1999 and looked every bit as ripped as 2001.
Even though Ronnie was lighter I believe his waist and gut were bigger than 1999.
I think this is from going up to the 285-295 mark. (Something he probably had not done
before the 1999 Olympia.) Once he went this high in weight there was no returning
back to the smaller waist/gut he had in earlier years.
He was in fairly sharp shape at 285 in 2000 at a guest posing and I don't think he needed to
drop 40 pounds to be at his best ever.
I know these are not the same lighting or perfect scale but I think they will help make the point.

Ronnie is harder in 2001 which is exactly why he's not as full because he's carrying less intramuscular fat again the general consensus is 2001 ( or 1998 ) is Ronnie's best overall showing specifically because his conditioning is at its very best , Ironically his two best showing's condition wise are also his lightest he weighed 247 pounds in 1998 and anywhere from 244-247 pounds in 2001 , the heavier Ronnie became the more his conditioned suffered for it .

Ronnie Coleman himself has said his best Olympia was his first specifically because his conditioning was ' spot-on ' again if what you were saying is true 1999 would be hailed at as his all-time best by the people in the know and its not for a reason , while you make like it better it doesn't mean its better than 2001

the point is that ronnie was virtually identical in terms of conditioning in comparing 99 to the 2001 AC but 10 pounds heavier (with less of a bulging gut when relaxed - check the videos).

for you to laugh off the statement that Ronnie was better in 99 than the 2001 AC given these facts is just plain stupid.

Again NO ONE of any credibility in the sport says Ronnie 1999 was his best showing just fans who like what they like , his conditioning is NOT virtually identical thats simply not true because if it was there would be alsolutely NO reason why 99 would be his best showing and it not

don't type the word ' facts ' because you have none , not one single statement saying Ronnie was in better condition than 2001 or even at bare minimum at least equal because he's not , stop you're not allowed to use the word ' facts ' because you haven't provided any as usual .

Stop turning everything into Coleman Vs Yates. It is repetitive to see the exact same posts and pictures over and over again..keep it in the truce thread.

If you want to argue about comparisons then do so using Coleman and Wheeler. That is what is relevant to the thread.

IF what you say is true, it should be quite clear that Ronnie was in better shape in 2001 than in 1999.

but look at the videos and pics:

his condition was virtually identical.

if you are too blind and stupid to see that, well, then there is no hope for you.

you CANNOT show using anything visual that ronnie was in noticably worse shape in 99 than in 2001.

until you can, shut the fuck up.

because your words mean nothing without visual support.

sorry.

You can't produce one single quote from ANYONE of credibility that he was better conditioning in 1999 ( like you claim ) and I'm owned lol keep dreaming kid  ;)

Flex Magazine August 2003

Jim Schmatltz on Ronnie chances of winning six Olympias in a row

if he repeats his 2001 Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic form, he'll experience the joy of six.


Shawn Perine Ironage Dec 11, 2004

As much as I love Haney and my IA champs, I think Ronnie circa '98 or at the 2001 Arnold is pretty much untouchable. Except by Dorian Yates 6 weeks out from the '93 O as photographed by our own KMH. Both men, on those specific occasions carried so much dry muscle mass in good proportion and with good lines that it's almost unfair to compare them to others.


While I’m on record as saying that the best physique I ever saw was Ronnie’s at the 2001 Arnold, he was never drier or harder than Dorian. In fact now that – 14 years after it happened – I recently for the first time saw the video of Dorian posing before the 1993 Olympia I have cause to rethink. I’m now not sure that Ronnie at 245 pounds would beat Dorian at 269 pounds. At a bigger bodyweight I think Ronnie would look soft next to an in-shape rock-hard Dorian.

review of mr. olympia 1999, january 2000, page  90:

257 pounds, a good seven pounds heavier than last year and the clear winner, ALTHOUGH NOT AS BONE DRY OR AS ROCK HARD IN 98


Quote Peter McGough Flex Magazine Jan 2001

RONNIE COLEMAN : ( 264lbs As big as a house , but holding water. In '98 , he was shredded and bone dry at 250 pounds. Last year ( 1999 ) he was 257 pounds but NOT as sharp as '98. This year ( 2000 ) at 264 pounds , he's not as sharp as 99 , which would seem to say that Ronnie is better at a lighter weight .



Ronnie What was your best Olympia? Ronnie Coleman: I would say my first because my conditioning was spot-on !

Hulkster seriously stop pretending I'm avoiding you or your dumb opinions , every single thing you ever posted I responded to I don't fear you or your stupidity and I'll address this ( again ) I see Ronnie in 2001 totally dry and extremely hard his skin shrink wrapped around dense hard muscle , I see Ronnie in 1999 much fuller albeit ( you idiot pay attention ) softer i.e. NOT as dense as 1998/2001 I see what all the experts see that 2001 was clearly Ronnie's best specifically for this reason .

again as usual your opinion contradicts the experts , you know like Dorian lost in 1993 , you see what you want to see thats obvious especially when your conclusions contradict history and reality.

note that:

we now have VIDEOS from BOTH the AC AND THE OLYMPIA that show ronnie was just as ripped in 99 as he was in the 2001 AC.

huge fucking difference.

and see this once again shows you don't know what you're talking about because now you have to amend your statement that Ronnie was better conditioned in 1999 to at the least as good as 2001 which is nonsense NO one of credibility agrees with you NO ONE so keep trying to save face by typing the same bull shit over & over it doesn't change the fact that 2001 is considered by all those in the know ( not you ) to be his best showing ever for a specific reason   ;)

lol so now you are claiming Bizzy doctored the whole video, even though its the SAME video as available elsewhere? including the VHS in my old VCR?

 ::)

tell us another one ND..

 ::)

No you moron not the video of the pre-judging the video of his screencaps , I know you have comprehension problems but get with the program and that VHS video is the lowest of quality i.e. NOT an accurate respresentation of how he looked and look at the forcedreps VHS screencaps notice a difference ?


yeah I thought so  ;)

well, your friend Peter McGough certainly cared about 99:

The only thing you owned is yourself  ;)

I still think he achieved his best-ever physique for the 2001 Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic.

This proves my point once again he was better conditioned in 2001 compared to 1999 and NO WHERE does it claim he was harder & drier in 1999 compared to 1998 so again you're an idiot and a liar

The reason why Ronnie would prance around on the stage revealing his gut in such a manner is because I don't even think he was cognizant of it at all.

Jay and Dorian were both intelligent enough to understand they had this flaw, and consistently try to hide it on stage.  Chalk that up to IQ.

Ronnie knew he had a gut, one can only do so much, and when you play you pay. Ronnie just had freakier other bodyparts, and for the most part, just like Dorian, Ronnie's flaws were not noticed :-\. So that is why, you have wrinkle back Jay.

Hulkster your tirade is old again notice everyone hails 2001 as his best showing not 1999 for a reason , again stop with the crusade of trying to prove it otherwise get over it.

and stop speaking for everyone as well thats lame because Ronnie Coleman himself isn't included in ' everyone ' neither is Peter McGough and Shawn Perine among others , again stop trying to change facts.

I doubt if many people read this besides ND and Hulkster
but any caps from me that Hulkster has used lately have not been photoshopped
in anyway. I can't help the copy I got is darker than FR's.
The VHS tape I have looks actually even better than the caps, shows more detail, but we
had this conversation months ago and nothing has been touched in many months.
If anyone cares Hulkster is using legit caps from my 1999 Mr. Olympia VHS tape.
There were 4 pics from 1999 I lightened months ago. I admitted to it and ceased doing it after
I realized it was a problem with some. Everything after has been untouched including
the caps Hulkster is using now.

Again you're full of shit none of your screencaps match ones that have been posted by forcedreps and the ones he posted were from a VHS copy as well spare us this ' legit ' screencaps bullshit , you admitted to tampering with pictures and you did it obviously because you didn't think they were good enough on their own , you created a problem not me.

he didn't purposely lie just to be deceptive you moron ::), he simply had a different perspective on the contest that was 10 years ago. A perspective that was not correct.

fortunately, the video camera does not lie.

it allows us to see what is bullshit and what is reality.

often there is a difference, especially in this sport.

eg. "I am in the greatest shape of my life!"

yeah, sure you are.. :-\

Hulkster again his opinion he was better conditioned in 1998 coincides with credible writers all who were there live and in person and the video camera doesn't trump that kid and after watching the video you came to the conclusion Yates lost in 1993 so I guess the video camera lied then  ;)

how many times have we heard someone say "I am the best I have ever been"

only to give a quick glance at the contest and see that nothing could be farther from the truth..

Now, according to you ND, everything that every bodybuilder says about their physique MUST be true 100% of the time, because, according to you:

visuals do not trump the bodybuilder's opinion no matter what..

 ::)

can you not see how stupid you are? ::)

just because Ronnie Coleman says he was in his best shape condition wise in 98 does NOT automatically make it so.

in fact, a quick glance at the video tape shows quite the opposite: he was better in 99 and better at the AC for that matter too.

Hulkster again it coincides with all the writers YOU are behind the 8 ball YOU are wrong period .

I showed visual proof Ronnie was harder in 1998 and backed it up with quotes from many credible sources its old news get over it

1998/2001 Ronnie is better conditioned than 1999 you have NO credible sources saying 99 was his best overall showing .

again you're ignorant as to what great conditioning is ( and isn't ) I've exposed how little you know countless times , you watched the video and seen the pics and came to the conclusion Yates lost the 1993 Mr Olympia to a much softer Flex Wheeler again this above all highlights you simply don't know what you're talking about.
