Jesus we know what this thread is going to turn into  ::)

98 was excellent condition but 99 and even 00 he was so much more dominant.

I thought 2005 was great too, Cutler had pretty much caught him in size but his overall look and condition blew anyone else away.

I like his 2000 Mr O + post Olympia GP shows physique the best - he was bigger, denser, thicker and freakier in 2000 than he was in 99, where he was a bit more conditioned, but a little smaller.

01 AC classic was good and his 2003 / 2004 shape had lots of muscle, but it was just lumped together and he looked awkward hitting a lot of poses like the front lat spread. And Ronnie was never good at posing anyway.

His 98-00 form is the form I like best from the above pics, with 99 being the one I lean towards.

However, in 05 when he did those Grand Prix shows weighing a reported 305 or 308, he looked just insane! He was bigger and didn't have the shape he did in 98-99, but for freakiness I think he even had his 03 form beat- when I look at them anyway.

99 was his best overall look:

just as hard as the AC, bigger, less of a gut:

Thing with 2004 is that Ronnie was super dry and shredded in the press conference the day before the show, but spilled over and was holding a film of water during the prejudging and finals later on. But his vascularity and separation gave the illusion that he was conditioned (or "saved" his look), whereas someone like Jay Cutler having a similar layer of water under the skin would look totally bloated and out of shape.

Went down a lot in 2002, apparantly was insane on the BFTO vid at 275-280? dropped down because he thought he needed to get back to his 98 form and his body had changed too much for that. 2003 was just not dieting the muscle off.

If you take all that into account, ronnie was a tiny tit for most of his pro career. Genetic freak or drug increase?

He was a big guy from the beginning. He slowly got bigger. While Levrone and Ray didn't train half the year, he just kept on going and by 1998 had them in everything. Then he just kept going and had the genetics to get that big.
