-
muscularity round? symmetry round? it doesnt matter!!!
-
a lot of ownage going on here;)
-
i know it is hard for you hulky, but to show this is about the olympia i am including pics of other competitors. ray should have been second, but it doesnt matter.
-
wow, just wow. look at Yates twig arm ::)
-
ray should have been #2.
-
Quality physiques everywhere on this stage.
-
ray flex and labrada
-
No contest Yates dominates
-
yes the 90's were something else.
-
this is from the mandatory posing round at pre-judging, not his free posing.
-
unmatched. period.

If you don't want this to turn into another asshole festival ... you shouldn't say things like "Unmatched. Period." you are begging for it.
Great pics...you don't see that quality and condition these days

understood groink, let me just say i am only talking 1993 olympia. i have alot more of all the competitors, just dont have time to scan at this moment.
-
I think dorian should win
-

no i did not take these pics. i used to work at a gym and one of the members hooked me up right after they came back from the show. i was at the 1991 and the 1995. unfortunately the camera but had not bitten me yet.
i have alot of pics from the 1991 that a get bigger here gave me (Rammer!)
im scanning some others now so you can see what Levrone looked like 5 months after pec tear.
-
great pics bro, thanks.
-
Doz looked big that day
-
more to come for my getbig bros n hos
-
It's hard to tell from the pics, but IMO Flex should have won. That RDB shot of him is unreal
-
unmatched. period.
this is the single best FDB ever seen on any IFBB stage... upps... sorry... I mean best FDB of the 1993 Mr. Olympia competition. :D

flex himself said Yates was too much for him to handle. flex had the usual watery backside and the judges should have given ray 2nd (but having short legs, long torso and lacking on width probably did it :o)

Samir Bannout actually commented on Shawn being a tad sharper conditioning wise than Flex but Flex's superior shape edged him out
Flex was the victim of the spring shows ( which he cleaned up on ) so his conditioning wasn't as perfect has it was at the Arnold & Ironman
-
The rear relaxed showed why nobody else was going to come close to Dorian.

Thats one of the best FDB ive seen of Dorian Yates on stage :o
-
His arms in 1993 were very good

I tell ya.....as much as Dorian catches shit here for having "one arm" and all that.......that must have FUCKING SUCKED.... to be Mr fucking Olympia,in your absolute prime..... and you tear your Bicep. Damn....life can be cruel

Ray was a tad sharper than Flex in the glutes and hammies. But Flex's insane taper, his waist is smaller than Ray's or Lebrada's (in he video it's more apparent), and arm, and back detail put him over Ray. If Flex showed up in his 93 Arnold condition it could be argued he should have won, but he would not have. The Mr. O is a freak contest, always will be. Flex had a chance to stop that and bring a diff era in, back in 98, and we all know what happened then.

Hey Delta, thanks for posting these. I can't believe you saved all those pics I gave you. I still have the negatives and I just got a negative scanner for Christmas so by coincidence I just went through all these negatives about 2 weeks ago. Post some from 1991! It was great going to an Olympia and sitting 4th row at the prejudging. Too bad Labrada's big headed family sitting in front of me got in the way of a lot of pics...
-
this was when bodybuilding had a much higher caliber competitor, now maybe 2 or 3 people have a legitimate shot a mr. olympia crown. Back then 8-9 people were in the running and had a serious shot at taking it home

Yip it can be sometimes, i think in Yates case his ability to push on when things didn't go his way (Bicep torn, triceps, quad and shoulder injury's) IMO showed his Determination and Character just as much as his Physique @ times, i really do wonder how many of his Competitors would of still entered the Olympia in the Condition he did consistently... given the same situation's as all those injurys From 1994,95,96,97?
-
like I said in other post in regards to dorian,,, was never a fan of him,,, respected him but... might have been the tear or just his build in general but after seeing these threads lately,,, a new found respect has been gained. I personally feel ronnie was better but,,, it can go either way... one thing is for certain they were both in leagues of their own. and yes as mentioned above,,, to have all those injuries and to keep comming back let you know of his character as a person and as a champion. he was in awesome shape,,, even towards the end. respect due.
-
that tear photo is crazy.
must have hurt like bloody hell.
-
damm that bicep tear isnt a pretty site

and again i thank you for hooking me up with the 1991 shots.

ray's lower body overpowers his upper here!!!..

RAY was always thin front to back (look at his fls) and he had the short leg long waist thing going on so structurally, it wasnt happening for him.

How did he tore it?
does anybody knows?

i believe he's attributed that tear to underhand rows

Not really. back then one guy always had a strangle hold on the Olympia title for as long as he wanted. The real competition was for 2nd place, and it was always the same guys, Nasser, Flex, Cormier, Ray and Levrone battling. Now days the Mr. O title is actually flip flopping and you have 4-5 guys all having pretty legit shots at winning. Don't get me wrong though, the overall quality of competitor was better back then compared to now.

bent over row underhand grip 405lbs
i think i should avoid that exercise.. :-X
-
405 0r 455, but it doesnt matter. obviously he stopped doing them after the tear.
-
Dorian was a fighter.
-
Yates was a hard worker

He did keep doing them. Just switched the grip to overhand.

i meant to say he reverted back to a normal grip.
-
i know he says that the injury made him train with more care afterwards and he didnt tare it up like he used to, can u imagine if he had of stayed injury free, and was still able to go ballistic in the lower rep range like he did on his way up..... would be a scarey vision!!
-
ronnie would not have won in 98 or 99, that is for sure.
-
I wish Dorian never got injured so we could see him and Ronnie battle it out at their primes. I don't care much for bodybuilding dynasties. All I want to see is the best physique humanly possible on the day of the show. After Ronnie's defeat in 02, he came back the following year with a physique that has not been equaled to this day. I can only imagine how far he would have pushed his body if he battled it out with Dorian at their peaks.

That would have been one hell of a Contest
