Title: who would you prefer to take advice from, dorian or ronnie
Post by: beefcakeblake on April 09, 2010, 05:42:08 PM
Basically the 2 greatest Bodybuilders of all time, but who do you think trained smarter.

Personally I think dorians genetics were not as good as ronnie and imo dorian was better but what do you think.

Dorian- low volume, 3 hours a week

ronnie- higher volume, 6 days a week

no, dorian did not  have "shit" genetics.....no mr olympia has "shit" genetics

oh yeah...lets compare statistics with IFBB records since they are well known for top notch judging, and would never allow themselves to be corrupted ::)  ....i never said either of them were the best(cause they werent).........but comparing the 2 ronnie is better....but if i were to pay for training, i would hire dorian...

Ronnie's answer is simple...point at weights, says go lift and love it. If you don't, find something that you love to do and do it, whether it ve volleyball or knitting.

Dorian would give a longer answer. Sometimes the more direct, "lift and love it" is better. When you are actually training, Dorian's would be better.

Ronnie loved lifting, period. If there was no weights, he'd lift rocks and boulders.

If you've been lifting seriously for 10 or 15 (or 30 like me) years...there isn't anything they know that you don't. Genetics and drugs made them what they were, not the way they trained.

I can lift balls out, gonzo heavy like Ronnie or i can be more controlled and analytical like Dorian....lifting is lifting.

Personally i don't agree with that....I'm an "old dog' if ever there was one and I'm open to new shit.

Perfect example i did legs today and i did exclusively single leg movements for the entire workout...12-16 reps and really focused.  

But I hear what you re saying..lotta dudes just go through the motions

Dorian- low volume, 3 hours a week

While I respect Ronnie for his achievements, I pick Dorian hands down. Dorian just seems more practical in his advice. Ronnie would be talking about believing in Jesus, while Dorian would be talking about the actual workout. No yip yip, just clear and concise advice and directions. That's what I would want from a trainer.

Neil Peart radically changed the way he held his drum sticks when he played drums in 2002 (underhanded, vs. overhanded). The BEST drummer in the world changed his technique. The shittiest bodybuilder in the world can always change his. I've been lifting weights for 21 years and until I watched a Dorian training session where he said focus more on the negative and slow it down (more controlled), I never knew there was another way than the one I had been using. So, if you wants better results, you'll be open to new methods that have been proven to work.

Nope, I think Ronnie would tell you to grind it out. Looking at his vids, it pretty much seems that he hypes himself up and lift. I think he pretty much can tell who and when to talk about Jesus. Jesus freaks always want to convert you, Ronnie seems like he would slap a weight in your hand rather than a Bible.

They are both all about action, not talk. I agree with that. I just think Dorian will be a lot more about technique and Ronnie a lot more about just doing what feels right. Dorian will push you to go far beyond what you thought you would ever be able to do, even if it means by him calling you a pussy and not being a real man. Ronnie wouldn't do that.

Dorian comes across as the smarter of the two , this maybe very unfair to Big Ron as I've never met either but its just how they project themselves.

Also Ronnie was trained to win , he didnt think about it himself he was told what to do  , drugs included.


Dorian thought it all out for himself so on this Id say Dorian..both ugly bodys but I have always admired Dorians drive and determination.

Dorian always leaned towards the more measured, analytical approach, whereas Ronnie is all about the powerlifting style of training with terrible form.

Either way is good - it's about finding out what works for you. As long as you're stimulating the muscles thouroughly and eating properly and consistently, then all you can do is sit back and let your genetics do the rest.

True to a certain degree. Someone who trains for pure power and density will no doubt build a different body than someone who trains light and focuses on form assuming they have similar genetics. I strongly agree that different training methods will build different bodies. I dont think you can build a power physique training light your whole career, and i dont think you can build a nice, aesthetic, symmetrical physique training heavy either.

Anybody saying Ronnie did not know how to train is a moron. Actually LOOK at his lift and tell me something he does wrong? Let me ask you something- do you REALLY think a guy can build up to front squatting 600lbs, db pressing the 200's for 12 like it's nothing, all the crazy shit he did without understanding proper biomechanics and lifting technique? You are crazy! He spent a lot of time learning the very same shit dorian did. Difference was Dorian relied on perfect execution, Ronnie on lifting maximal weight. Ronnie had the kind of frame to where he wasn't much to look at until he was HUUUUUUUGE but whe he got there, he was just unreal. He had to fill out a gigantic frame, slow controlled incline presses would not have gotten him there. Watch the unbelievable and look at his form-it is perfect. A guy that size and strength level would have had a LOT of problems with his shoulders and a number of things if he did not understand proper form.3
