Title: Ronnie was good, but he was no Dorian Yates
Post by: England_1 on March 11, 2009, 05:40:01 PM
Dorian is simply put, the greatest ever. No one really compares to Dorian in all aspects of bodybuilding: dominance on the Olympia stage, intelligence towards training and nutrition, and diligence in the gym.

oh please, ali got beat 5 times (i think) in his career, if ali would had rope a dope during the fight, marciano would have broke ali's arms. Even archie moore says that "Marciano was the only person he's ever fought that hit as hard at the end of the fight as he did at the beginning, and that was as hard as a train", and moore fought ali too.

In case you dont know, I'm not much of a boxer historian, my dad is and i've just grown up listening to all the stats.

LOL, Archie Moore was like 45 years old whenever he fought Marciano....

I bet if you beat up on old man he would say you hit hard too!

It doesn't mean he wasnt a tough old bastard. Having only one person that fought both marciano and ali, it's kind of hard to come up with references.

These pics are from 96'

Ronnie was 2 years away from hitting his prime (98' which most people consider)

Dorian was 1 year after hitting his prime (95' which most people consider)

Now who was closer to their prime? LOL

One thing I CAN give Yates credit for.  He was the most improved IFBBer ever. He looked goofy but promissing when he took second to Momo....then after a year of busting his ass...he came back with a back  that had me saying   PHUQ!!!!!!   In a bookstore   in Washington DC in 91.  Remember the magazine cover with him doing one arm rows with a dumbell that weighed more that Flozell Adams soak and wet?

Nasser's "weak" back  ::)

After 95 Nasser brought his back up pretty good, was still one of the top 6 backs onstage, and of course the very best from the front.

Dorian did everything Franky warned Tony Montana from doing.....wanting it all to soon   so fast ....all flash  and then they don't last.   Haney trained much safer than the other 2.....and his diet was much healthier.

I guess Nasser was your basic seated rows...pulldowns back trainer...like everyone at Venice in the 90's.       No one likes doing bent overs  or THE REAL T Bar rows.....not many gyms have those machines though.

twice as big as ronnie and deadlifted way more
Why deadlift ?   My gym   ooops I mean fitness center  has a nice chair  you can sit in  and work your lower back  without    loading a barbell on the floor   then bending over to power it up (kidding  I deadlift   I have to).   But deadlifts are dying out also.

What's so great about "outmassing" Paul   he was just big....but not realy freaky   except when he either just stood there   or  did that gay chest thing where vains came out   but next to Dorian and Nasser,  Paul  looks like Anja Schriener!!!!

You can't build one of the top 6 backs onstage by only doing pulldowns and cable rows.  Nasser rarely did these movements, the back exercises he did most often were deadlifts (full or half-reps), barbell rows (both overhead and underhand grips), t-bar rows (without the chest pad), one-arm dumbell rows, weighted chinups (close-reverse, wide, and close-parallell grips), and dumbell pullovers.  He also did, but less often, lat pulldowns (behind the neck and front), seated cable rows, straight-arm cable pulldowns, and hyperextensions.  He trained back twice a week, usually in the 6-15 rep range.

I saw him do back at Gold's Venice  from 95 to 98    he did deadlift SOME   but hardly ever did bent overs   not even one arms!!!!!

Must have been the occasional back workout you're referring to where he didn't do these movements.  He did deadlifts every other back workout, sometimes up to 8 sets, and frequent barbell or dumbell rows.

Nasshole's back was utter crap. No detail. Either genetics or he had mechanical problem in his shoulders preventing him from fully contracting.

Owned by Levrone here.

And he's beating Wheeler in that lat spread. His back was not the best onstage, but it wasn't that bad from 96 onward, actually it was pretty good, just not as good as the top few.  Also, the back is just one bodypart.  Nasser destroyed everyone everywhere else.

LMAO at Bobknobs posting pics like this of Nasser's back in the presence of the Dorian back pics.

LMFAO you're comparing one pic where Nasser is not even flexing his back or onstage, just doing lateral raises, with a flexed rear double bicep shot of Dorian onstage  ::)

Must have been the occasional back workout you're referring to where he didn't do these movements.  He did deadlifts every other back workout, sometimes up to 8 sets, and frequent barbell or dumbell rows.
He probably trained like a beast at other gyms   but  at the Mecca  he trained very conservatively.

You posted that pic as a rebuttal to people saying nasser had a weak back.  Gee you really proved them wrong  ::)
