yes , I think Ronnie and Flex were the only two people with a legitimate chance of actually beat Dorian. I think Ronnoe 2001 ASC is of the best physiques ever.

He looked pretty damn good there!

In the DVD Dexter Jackson: Unbreakable during the seminar all the guys on stage said they pretty much feared his 2003 Olympia look. I THINK if I remember correctly Ronnie himself said his best look was at the 1998 Olympia. I'd have to pop the DVD again and check to be sure, though.

His '98 O was his best as far as overall balance and conditioning. 2001 AC his waistline was getting abit out of control but he may be not as conditioned as in 98 but the overall balance ande the exra mass made for a new standard (which no one has actually reached again I'd say). 2003: the only guy who could handle tha tmuch mass without totally fucked up proportions and symmetry.

I think Ronnie should trim himself down to that weight again. No use in walking at 280-300 pounds of melted chocolate. And he still would look impressive.

Baker finished second in '95, no? Never understood how he never fared better at the 'O. But back then, competition was rough. A guy like Dillett never did better than 4th at the 'O.

I'm pretty sure that quote was of Dillet. He was brushing off Ray and Flex as non-threats but named Dillet as dangerous.

Why don't you patronisingly ask Levrone, Nasser, Wheeler and all the other guys he leap-frogged to do the math? haha, what do you think they'd say at your hypothesised lack of improvement in those years?

Who said he didn't improve? he did in density & dryness , he already had the size , shape and freaky bodyparts he just needed the outstanding conditioning to compliment them.

Shawn Ray said in 1998 he was ' most improved ' but shouldn't have won the Olympia just based on that.

Ronnie showed flashes of greatness when he beat Flex in 96 he was just hit-or-miss and remember he beat Levrone , Nasser and Wheeler ( among others ) before he became Mr Olympia

Youre an idiot. Youre mistaking muscle separation for muscle thickness, idiot.
thats why Dorian looks 3 ft wide front to back, and ronnie looks like a cardboard cutout from front to back, like someone else in this thread said.  ::)

I noticed you didn't dare comment on the pics I posted because they look nearly identical , as usual when you're owned you get silent and when pushed you start yipping away

You can't yip after these comparisons , Ronnie's in fact look much better in 1997 compared to 99 striated to hell and just as big

more size, more thickness, way better conditioning:

I didn't say the ONLY difference and two separate pics when he's not even doing the same shot at the exact same moment proves nothing

his quads by 99 did increase his chest I don't see it , his back , arms , delts etc virtually all the same see the above pics

Ill agree with you that his chest and legs look a little fuller, but be honest with yourself,
the biggest difference is his conditioning. Hes the same size with a lot better conditioning, which means yes, he added some muscle. Dont be stupid Hulkster.

Dorian's back is flat in the back double biceps pose LMFAO Dorian should have lost to Flex in 1993 , Ronnie dominated a contest he lost the entire prejudging in , Ronnie's calves are more detailed than Dorians ever were , 2001 was NOT controversial but 1994 was , Dorian is the most overrated bodybuilder of all time , winning all those Olympia in grand fashion proved Dorian was overrated , it's impossible for him not to be stupid.  ;D

watch both vids.

its not even close, for a million reasons:

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1eyvt_ronnie-coleman-1997-olympia_sport



ronnie is noticably bigger, fuller, more cut and complete than in 97.

fuck, his legs are skinny and tiny compared to 99. its like Arnold 80 all over again in 97..

so this 97 vs 99 bullshit stops now.

I ended it like I always do.

How the fuck is he more ' complete ' ? you with these dumb ass blanket statements.  ::) his quads were bigger sure that's obvious his delts are bigger too but aren't as striated or separated either , his midsection is a such lot ' fuller ' too

and FYI dummy I have both videos  ;) was Ronnie the exact same as 99? NO was he eons off ? NO the difference between 97 and 98 is less than 97 and 99

but like I've said before in some areas he improved , quads , etc , but some he digressed midsection , delts , etc

Lmao Hulkster. You really fucked yourself with this pic. Holy lack of thickness batman. And you continually try and say Ronnie is thicker than Dorian? Are you high?
I have come to the conclusion that Ronnies genetically deep seperations give him the illusion of having a lot of thickness front to back. But its only an illusion.
heres a lesson Hulkster. This is thick.

This isnt.  ::)

You do understand that Ronnie was LIGHTER than dorian up until around 03 right? His 98 and 99 showing he was both lighter than 95 Dorian was. Not sure what Dorian weighed in 93 but I think it was more than the Ronster.

If he was it was only a couple pounds. For some reason the weight 257 and 249 sticks in my head, not sure which, I think Doz was around 250-something in 93-95. But only ND would be sure.

Well that's all depends on the year and the weight doesn't mean much if it's not backed by the conditioning.

Dorian 1995 was 260lbs , Ronnie 1998 was 249lbs , 1999 257lbs , 2000 , 264lbs , 2001 I believe he was 264lbs at the Olympia and 247lbs at the Arnold Classic , 2002 he was really down in size

Dorian was 260lbs will being hard as nails and arid as the desert , Ronnie was 264 in 2000 but soft & holding some water

the above pics were NOT scaled for accuracy just two similar poses , I tried my hand at scaled it's it's next to impossible to get it right so I don't even try anymore

Ronnie 2001 was anywhere from 244-247lbs from the quotes I've seen. Dorian 1993 was 257lbs and in 1995 Haney introduced him at the 95 O at 260lbs
