I figured the top 2 were from 1992. I think the bottom one is from 95 b/c he looks bigger and is wearing posing trunks compared to this pic.

The top two were 1992 a few weeks out from the 1992 Olympia , not sure of these two because the famous black & whites Dorian had on black socks and not the NBA socks from 1980

ok, thanks. What threw me off is his lat spread looks smaller than here, although it could just be the angle.

  Taken 3 weeks out before the 1992 Olympia, at Gold's Gym, in California. Mike Mentzer was present there when these were taken. He was training Dorian at the time.

Wrong - they were taken at Temple Gym. And Mike Mentzer wasn't present either.

considering he actually looks good in those pics, they must be taken before 1994.

SUCKMYMUSCLE

no, he wasnt. mike never ''trained'' dorian, they did like 3 workouts together and mentzer gave dorian some advice, dorian listened to what mentzer had to say but he was always his own man. one of the advice mike gave to dorian was to lower training volume even further but dorian was already in the process of doing that (and he was never a high volume guy to begin with). mentzers writings and other HIT-ideas influenced dorian when he started out (back in 83) but he always adapted things to himself.

incredible pics. dorian really had a very good structure and looked amazing up until he started to self destruct in 94.

  Wrong. You are confusing these pics with the ones Horton took one year latter before the 93' Olympia. These pics first appeared on Mentzer's "Heavy Duty I" book, which was published in 1992.

I think he's right , I think those are at Temple and this is one of the pics from when he was with Mike

both sets are at temple.

the top 2 are 1992, the third is 1995 imo...

dorian was pretty big and ripped in 92 a month out but he over dieted and lost a lot of weight.

he then flew to australia and did a tour and he filled out but retained quite a bit of sharpness and looked AMAZING guest posing at the 1992 australian nationals...

messiah would have been there to confirm.

Erm, no - you are wrong - how do I know these pics were taken at Temple Gym? - BECAUSE I FUCKIN TRAIN THERE!!!!

The machine behind him in these photos is a tricep pressdown cable machine - it's been in the same spot in the gym since the 1980's and I used it the other day so I don't think you can get more conclusive than that.

The first 2 pics are from 92 and has already pointed out,are in the B+G book,they are there to show the same poses at a gap of 4 weeks,to show how the front of the body stays basically the same condition wise,and the back and hamstrings are the final bodyparts to come through.And they were taken at Temple gym.

no, it reinforces it considerably.

in 92, before dorian showed up 'huge' he had more twigs on a barrel than ever.

when his arms got bigger, along with the rest of him 93 and onwards, I think his arms looked a little more in proportion with the barrel torso. although still way undersized.

Your not serious are you Hulkster... im interested to know form your prospective how in those 1992 Shots his arms are twigs and are not Proportional to his Torso, Remember Arms are a SMALL part of the Physique not like the Back Muscles, the 3 parts of the Deltoids, the Chest, the quads etc, im asking you because for whatever reason alot of your reply's are very negative and sound more like sour grapes/ personal attacks (for whatever reason only you know for sure) rather than objective/rational reply's. here's 2 more of the day a little clearer
