I noticed that too. Strange.
He grabs for his chest at around 4:30 too. Something wasn't right
-
its called cramps, hope this helps.

who were the other 2 guys and wonder what they are doing today?
-
dorian was alot smarter than most people give him credit for. he totally outsmarted those other two morons in the pose down by hitting his strong poses when they came near, then let them both go off and pose in the dark while he stayed in the light and hit his best shots, unopposed..he even moved across to be right in the centre.
very complex human being...total respect to the big doz...even today the guy is a champ.

This is an awesome vid thanks very much for posting it.
I can see why Dorian was so pissed and losing the overall. Yes the other guy was in good condition and probably close to the same muscle mass but Dorian's structure is so great and he was definitely more ripped. His legs seemed to lack the mass he put on later but he said that was mainly due to squatting too much and not getting the same effect as others which is why he changed to Leg Presses more.
Dorian's condition is incredible even then. That's fucking genetics and the structure too.

The black guy is Selwyn Cotterill who got his pro card the following year,the white guy is John Fisher,he was only about 22 or 23 in this show,he used to be the junior champ.He had great potential,but he met a girl who used to train at my gym,fell in love and dropped off the scene.

excellent hair

Agreed.
Doz was the fckn man.
Good hair, great conditioning, titanic physique.
Dude was a bamf.
-
Dorian had that "herculean" type of physique, very powerful.

Holy shit.
Dude knew how to pack on mass.

I remember being in Temple Gym a while back and we were watching an old video of Dorian losing the overall British Championships '86 - I asked Dorian about the guy who beat him and what he's doing now - Dorian smiled and said that he thinks the guy went on to run a chip shop! ;D
Not sure if that was true but I think he proved his point.

Dorian was probably right,but being a bit tongue in cheek,the guys name was Chris Oskys and he was Greek,hence the chip shop connection.
-
Plus if i remember right he weighed 210lbs at the 86 and 223lbs in the 88 finals.In the 88 finals he beat Gary Taylor who went on to win the worlds strongest man contest.

Ah yes, that was the guy - I couldn't remember the name.
Yep - right about Gary Taylor, went on to win World's Strongest Man in 1993.
-
gary taylor had a great physique too,,, we had some great bodybuilders from that period
gary taylor, eddy elwood, ian harrison and charly clairmonte... golden era of british bodybuilding
-
A pic of Dorian and Chris Oskys from the 86 finals,this was the first year it was held in London,it used to be held in Nottingham at the concert hall,and Chris was from London,and one of the judges was an editor of a London based mag that Chris had a column in,so you work it out.
-
It makes me laugh when people say Dorian was "blue collar" and didn't have the genetics of the other guys. Dorian had some of the best bodybuilding genetics ever.
-
excellent hair
He got the haircut of my grandmother and heŽs ugly as hell. But in his prime heŽd blow away that lump of cheese Cutler.

How do you think he would have done at the 1988 Mr. O if he had qualified Pro in this contest as he should have? He might have got Haney at some point in 89 or 90 if he had the chance because in 91 Haney was on and definitely won.
From Blood & Guts he said his On Stage weights were
210 in 85
214 in 86 (said he ate too much junk through the year and made him diet longer and lose more mass)
226 in 88
228 in 90 NOC (fucking ripped)
235? in 91NOC
238 in 91 Mr.O
242 in 92 Mr.O

Yates is killing the swimmer

Well that pic is from 86,and the previous year he was beaten by Berry Demay in the world games and Berry placed 6th in the 87 Olympia,but given Dorians improvement from 85-86,he would have placed around the 6-7th place.He took a year off for surgery and thats why he missed the 87 British,but if he would have been in the 88 Olympia maybe 4-5th.

LOL
this ^
you could see he had 'it' for conditioning even back then.
-
Losing made him get to the next level he would have been creamed against Haney in 1987.
-
awesome conditioning and seperation
-
Dorian in 88.
-
And only 2 years later
Jesus i only just watched that.
1988 Mr.O he would have been right up there for sure. Strydom was only 225 and wasn't complete with a shit back and he came 5th i could definately see Dorian beating him.
