At 1:10 Ronnie's MM is off the chain :o. 10 years later, and the physiques today are booty...I bet the last place finisher at that GP could have won the 2009 NY Pro.

I was most impressed with Ronnie, he just looked great. Although he did have gyno when he raised his arms, but in everything else he looked incredible.

Dexter hasnt improved much in 10 years.

Dex has used the the Shawn Method of slow progression adding small increments of weight over time, it's the method that Flex Wheeler should have used. Dex over time went from 205 to 230ish ( if you believe he was 230), but since he did it slowly, you can only see the progession thru photos over time.

Just like Shawn Ray, woh went from 201.5 pounds at his first Mr. O to 205, then to 215-218 pounds the last time he ompeted.

Wow, bodybuilding has really gone downhill since those days. 

Flex's arms look insane, Ronnie's conditioning (esp. in the legs) is unreal.  All three look amazing.

Amazing....how did this sport fall so far so quickly?  Is Evan Centopani really a guy who should be winning professional shows?  I think not.

This type of competition will never be seen again, boys...
Bodybuilding has really regressed...
I'm afraid these days we are stuck with third class bodybuilders like Evan and Silvio  :(

Great post and great pics! Anyone of these guys - Ronnie, Dorian, Kevin, Nasser, Flex, or Ray would be the current Mr. O.

That front relaxed pic of Ronnie is unbelievable.  His waist is no wider than KL's.  :o

Flex had crazy small joints. Just look at the sweep on his thigh  :o But you can clearly see he's got a film of water compared to Ronnie's who's bone dry in comparison

80 and 90's are the golden era of bodybuilding, and also powerlifting.
powerlifiting had gone bad too since, half squat, belly bench, multi ply-gear.

it's time to come back to basic.

90 for ever.

Ronnie is out-arming Flex, the detail is superior and the size is greater, but yes Flex's synthol separation is fantastic, especially the stupid pointy rear delts. Valentino would win that shot fo sho!

Look at Ronnies front delts on that side chest pose!!!


Ronnies traps/neck are huge too.


Look at Ronnies thigh cuts!


Ronnie is crushing Flex and Kevin in this shot.


Ronnie looks like he used heavy free weights leading into the show.  In comparision, Flex and Kevin look like they settled with smith machines and hammer machines.
