LOL, Nasser made sure his back was pumped before they filmed him posing.
-
Nasser looks insane here, his back looks good too! :o
-
this was nasser at his peak
-
This is probably the best I've seen Nasser. I saw part of Fux's session in the BFTO and the guy looks like a TANK. The best I've ever seen him.
-
He had the 1 in a million look there.
-
this may havbe been the best nasser ever looked,i would like to see these shots compared to how he looked at the 97 olympia.
-
Just about all these guys look(ed) better in the gym than they do onstage.

Don't spoil the fun Batman >:(

This is the best Fux ever looked. 10 days before the Mr. O.
-
Set 2

Set 3. His front latspread looks crazy. Checkout the quads. Reminds me of Yates front latspread, but with better quads.
-
Great shots . thanks for posting you're posting some real good shots as of late , keep up the good work

That's what I was talking about before. Iceman, do you know how much Fux weighed there? I'm guessing somewhere in the 280s. Looks ridiculous.

Guy was a monster for sure . regardless of what Sherief says he had all the tools to become Mr Olympia

Kiwi, I'm not sure how muchhe weighed. Fux doesn't even say a word during his segment, lol.

He sure did. Only if he got his conditioning right.
-
I'm working on getting Shawn's segment. I will post those soon.
-

Yep, he improved big time from 94, when he won his pro card, to about 96. Started getting too big too fast from 97, which made his gut huge and threw off his whole look. And then came the squatting accident that put an end to it all.
If he'd hooked up with someone like Chad Nichols or Chris Aceto in 95/96, he could've gone all the way to the top. He carried his 270-280 lb onstage better than guys like Ronnie and Nasser. His back was very good too and he had no weak body parts. People rave about Gunther, but Fux was bigger and put together a lot better.
Fux and Francois are the 2 biggest letdowns from the 90s. Shame.
-
... and Newman.

... and Newman.
True.
-
Fux was a freak. Use to be my fav. back in the day. Had muscle ON TOP of muscle. Check out the deep cuts in his legs, for christ sake ! Especially from the side !
-
Fux reminds me of Atwood, sorta weird structure.

Shawn Ray had the ideal midget physique. At 5' 10" or so, he woulda been untouchable.

15 calls ray the master of illusion, flex was master of illusion, ray was legit big for his size, and didn't overdose on insulin to get there

Yates vs. Fux
-
Fux looks the freakiest in these photos. And Nasser looked very impressive.
Fux had amazing calves!
-

he had weird abs.. and yes he was huge all over his body but without a pleasent shape as top huge guys.. yates,..nasser.. i put him in the same place as markus..

Solid year for bodybuilding... Iceman, any solid pics of Levrone??

Also how was Francois such a big letdown? He was gifted the 94 NOC against an up-and-coming Nasser.
-

Not only weird abs but very wide/fat waist and didn't have that dense, striated look at all. Big guy though for sure, that's about it though.

I wonder what Shawn did right that year because i have seen this vid and he is the best he ever was. Him beating Nasser at the O was no joke, he was in insane condition. Maybe it was competiting earlier in the year at the Arnold, sure he wasn't at his best but he dieted down and trained for it, maybe it made it easier to hit that peak condition come September.

His abs weren't the best, but they were hardly a hindrance. They only got out of hand after 96, when he developed a huge gut. Ronnie had the same problem and it never held him back.
Fux's shape was pretty good until 97, but got worse afterwards. See the pics below.
::) @ the bolded text.

Letdown as in he was forced to stop competing well before he hit his peak due to his illness. His 94 NOC win wasn't a gift, but something he won fair and square.

Fux was pregnant in the 90s, before it became popluar to be "pregnant".

maybe he upped the dose?
-
But Neither Nasser nor Fux looks the same nowadays.
-
this may havbe been the best nasser ever looked,
looked great , probably his best,
no gut yet, tight waistline
very intelligent use of synthol in delts and arms, didnt overdo it, and had enough muscle to pull it off, unlike later
-

At least one isn't living bitterly in the past though

Oh brother ::) Have you seen pics from that show?
Also, how does one know he hadn't yet reached his peak before getting ill? ???

Absolutely see the front latspread pic , waist when held tight is not very wide is it? ;)

Set 2

Set 3

Some random pics and notes while watching the footage:
1) Dillett didn't train his back as hard as the other competitors. During his back work outs he was acting like a bitch and Charles Glass had to pretty much tell him how to do the back work outs. Look at the weight (not much) he is lifting during the T Bar work out.
2) Shawn Ray talking about Dorian Yates and Flex Wheeler: "It's obvious he has great calves and a phenomenal back, but after that I'm not really impressed. I'm not trying to make friends, I'm just telling it like it is. When Flex Wheeler is on, he is Mr. Olympia. Flex Wheeler as a bodybuilder, as a physical specimen, as a person, is perfection when in shape. I'm the first one to say it. I'd be happy to lose to somebody with that genetic gift, with that kind of structure, with that kind of body. I think that there is a whole lot of people that would aspire to look like Flex Wheeler when Flex Wheeler is on than there are people aspiring to look like our current Mr. Olympia."

Ronnie Coleman makes them look like they are in offseason shape

lokkin at all these photos and everyone commenting this is the best they ever looked,10days out 8days out etc.always onstage at the show was the best dorian ever looked and maybe the reason people think this is the best these competitors ever lokked is because of the fact they are not standing next to yates!

Dorian has a segment also, but he didn't pose after his work out. He did look smaller than his usual "gym" self.
-
They all look almost flawless standing alone or next to your average gym rat.
Someone, post more JP Fux comparisons.

I have seen pics from that show, just not with the biased eyes you have. When was the last time you admitted Nasser lost something because he deserved to? Oh brother ::) indeed.
Mike was in his early 30s when he got sick and stopped competing. He won the first 4 contests he competed in after winning his pro card, incl. the Arnold Classic. So it goes to reason he retired before hitting his peak, which usually happens in the mid to late 30s for most guys. HTH.

QFT
Nasser deserved to win , Nasser was robbed , Nasser was cheated ::) seriously give it up
and stop on about Mike , it's very safe to say he never reached the best he could look

Great stuff. I want to workout NOW!

x2, interesting pic. Dorians pics backstage when not under the lighting always look incredible, kinda makes you wonder if there is something to those statements so many people made about how pics never did Dorian justice, how he had something that pics just didnt capture, something the lights and lens wash out.
And holy effin shit at Ray's triceps

Mike Francois was his best when he beat FLex @ teh Arnold
that was his max physique wise- it was all down hill after that- his condition and size went south after that- he looked shit @ the 96 and 97 O
Mike's gift over Nasser 94 NOC was about as big a gift as Dorian's O wins 1994-1997
-
Yep, he improved big time from 94, when he won his pro card, to about 96. Started getting too big too fast from 97, which made his gut huge and threw off his whole look. And then came the squatting accident that put an end to it all.
If he'd hooked up with someone like Chad Nichols or Chris Aceto in 95/96, he could've gone all the way to the top. He carried his 270-280 lb onstage better than guys like Ronnie and Nasser. His back was very good too and he had no weak body parts. People rave about Gunther, but Fux was bigger and put together a lot better.
Fux and Francois are the 2 biggest letdowns from the 90s. Shame.
Fux did not get any bigger from 96 to 97 except for his gut. He made impressive gains but wasn't able to hold on to it for more than a year without growing his gut and thereby losing his proportions. He had as much chance of making it to the top as any other second tier pro like him.

94 NOC was one of the worst, if not the worst, judging in history! Even Francois knew he was gifted that one, which would explain why he backed out of the Flex mag photoshoot him and Nasser were scheduled to do together immediately after the show.
-
and also after the 94 NOC, Francois was begging Nasser to move to Ohio to be his training partner
ie so Mike could free load from Nasser his BB and drug knowledge "secrets"
-
Good Point Big Bobs!! 95 NOC was an injustice! Fux wasnt his best after 97 sadly :(
-
bunch of imbeciles on this thread,Mike Francois was a freak and when he turned Pro he won 4 in a row besting some of the best, the Noc was won easily over Nasser the judges did not even view it as a close 1.

yes,exactly my point- the same corrupt cheating judges that gave gifts to Yates all his career- Manion, weinberger, etc etc
-

Yates wins it by any judging panel, only a few disagree, but the ones who know bodybuilding know that Yates was sliced from top to bottom every bodypart, hard as granite with grainy skin texture, dry and has the deepest lines and was as big as anyone too, so in bodybuilding terms, he could not be touched, no one came close.
-

You fail.
Nasser deserved 1 O, thats it, 97.
Aside from that, he always placed where he should have.
No back = Wont win.

Nasser should have won that show in 1994 easily. Some shows are setup can't you see it *Cough Cough 2007 Mr.O*

this was a great mr O
Nasser the winner
a razor sharp Shawn taking 2nd
Ronnie coming into his own and pwning Yates, placing 3rd
a worn out, OAB Yates should have placed 6th
