It was great. Dorian looked great and won hands down! All hail Mr. Olympia (Several times, not sure how many because no homo) at least Dorian Yates! :o
if only nasser had a back! awesome front double bicep though...
why dont you post the pics off his website?

One of the best line-ups ever. The top 4 was incredible. I don't remember why Dillett didn't compete that year. Had he been there and if Flex had been in good condition, that would have been even better.
Nasser (in the front shots) is unbeatable.
One thing those shots don't clearly show though is how thick Dorian was. Anyone of these guys would win the O hands down today if they showed up like this.
but like this we can say the same about the other 3!!..
THAT'S what I'm saying, Sherief. I think any of the top 4 would be Mr O today. The only questionable one for me would be Shawn.

Great pictures, thanks. I wish I could see a video from this Olympia.youtube or google vids and blood and guts has all of Yates comp posing routines. its all there.

I give the "team" a lot of shit, but Nasser's back isn't as terrible as history says,
it's just he had the bad luck to be up against one of the greatest backs of all time as his main competition.
....Nasser met his teacher for sure, poor Nasser..
check nasser's facebook page, there you will find the pre-judging, nasser's routine ;D and the finals..
This is true....Dorian is nasser's father for all time:D

'95 is the last year Nasser showed decent detail on his back. It was good but not enough. Might have been his best showing, certainly is as for the back. '96, bigger version, softer back.
:D
at least he knows who is his father and not like you :-X::)
dont try to change your words about nasser now, it's too late.. whatever you do bobs will not take you with him when he goes for the next nasser nights :-X ;D
you are totally wrong!!.. nasser's back at mr. o. 96 was better than at mr. o. 95!!.. even flex magazine mentioned this in its review about the show.. check his routine in 96..
Rats.....I wanted to drive Nasser's car into a telephone pole on purpose ;D
You're talking mass or detail? I don't really care what Flex magazine says. He clearly had a bigger back. Not a better back (where's the Xmas tree in '96?).
Rats.....I wanted to drive Nasser's car into a telephone pole on purpose ;D
Sherief would appreciate it more if you drove him backwards into Nasser's pole.
There was a hint of an Xmas in '95 at least. Sure, he had more volume on his back in '96 but that's not what he needed.
;D ;D ;D
Kiwi.....you wouldn't be implying that Shareef has a "Nasser" tattoo on his hip, would you?
i believe there is not big diff. in details but in 96 he was bigger and his lower back looks drier in this pic. and his lats a little wider..
;D ;D ;D

His posing routine video of '96 doesn't show much but there's the video of the Battle and you see him posing. The '95 routine vid might give you a better idea.
I'm saying Sherief has a tramp stamp that says 'Nasser was here' with an arrow below pointing downwards.
Sherief, I'm just joking - don't go El Meltador on me.

at NOC 95 he was 260 pound and his back was hard and detailed.. i belive this can be considered his best shape ever!!..
Are you sure that tattoo isn't on his forehead with the arrow pointing to his mouth ? ;D ;D
From that pic, yes. Is there a vid of the NOC?
but my mouth is small and nasser is a big guy, i guess yours is a fitter hole for him :-X
UMMM.....how would you know how "big" Nasser is? :P :P
it's strange to believe this but at its best nasser's back was comparable to haney's!!..

haney was very over rated............
haney was very over rated............Not @ all, now that Lee is part of History its quiet clear how Under rated he actually was... ala Small hips, Small Waist, Dramatic V taper, Lines, presentation (as in the way he stood maintaining DISCIPLINE , posed, transitions of his poses from one to another now a long lost art) etc etc and this was consistently so (not inconsistent like a couple of his predecessors) Lee Haney Dominated his peers in his time much like Dorian after him.
it's strange to believe this but at its best nasser's back was comparable to haney's!!..Come on Sherief it takes more than a couple of carefully selected pictures to say the Lee and Nasser's backs were comparable, because they really were not on the same level in terms of complete back balance, detail, insertions etc

I mean seriously what the fuck? LMFAO the kid is a complete idiot for not thinking that one through I mean damn that was stupid lol
politness muthafuka politness!!.. learn how to say your opinion in a polite way.. mr. johnny above said the exact same thing as you but see how respectful his way?!..
yes johnny i agree that lee's back was much better than nasser's, i was just saying that nasser's at its best could go with great backs without looking bad.. imo if nasser kept competing at around 260 pounds he would have won much more shows than he did!!..
sure from the front it was a totally diff. story :o
The only pose from the front Nasser wins is the ab-thigh
so you see haney better in the mm for example??.. oh ya not strange to hear this from mr. expert who sees dillet's FDB better than nasser's ::)
Coming from the idiot who says Nasser has a comparable back to Lee Haney ::)
Nasser is close in the most muscular and the front double biceps but I see Haney edging him out , Lee clearly wins the front latspread
coming from the asshole who always talks about symmetry and proportion but ironically still accepts dorian as mr. olympia 97 ::)
the mm is nasser's hands down, nasser's lower body, shoulders, arms, abs are all better than haney's and go in a good shape with each other.. haney's chest a little bit overpowers his shoulders and arms..
as for FDB lee is one of the best to hit this pose but with nasser's better lower body and biceps i give it to him..
yes i agree lee's FLS is better than the wizard's!..
I talk about BALANCE & PROPORTION symmetry is a misleading term , I also talk about density & dryness as well as muscular bulk , and posing & presentation I don't omit anything like you do , ' asshole '
You could cherry pick what you like in any pose and claim one person should win it over another but you have to consider ALL factors . Shawn Ray was smaller , not as wider or better balanced than Nasser but managed to beat him ever wonder why?
dorian's dryness in 97 was not that good as you think!!.. his quads were soft and lacked details.. only his back was drier than the others but still was not as dry as in the previous years.. his symmetry was shit between his right side and his left and his over all symmetry and proportion were shit with his back overpowering the rest of him and with his arms looking clearly small for his torso and his calves big for his quads!!.. beside his back he may have been the worest on stage!!..
Sure it was and Nasser's back is ' comparable ' to Lee Haneys ;D you know nothing about competitive bodybuilding which is why you come to these wacky conclusions
Let's give the 1997 Mr Olympia to Nasser , he can have it , he can have 1996 as well it makes NO difference because at their bests Dorian would leave Nasser for dead
