Looks massive and powerful, although lack of upper legs and arms is always a source of underwhelm-ment. Great calves and back though.

Calves way too big. He should have 16.5" inch calves and thighs should be 7" bigger to further humiliate the 16.5 calves that he should have. ;D

Dorian's great, but he's #2.   IMO, the OP should have waited a while to make his post -- after the memories of the Ronnie's freakiest pics thread had faded a little bit.
Title: Re: Dorian Yates amazing offseason pics
Post by: Megalodon on March 20, 2012, 04:43:05 PM
Yates didn't inject crap into his calves to make himself competitive. Calves matter. Why ignore or be blinded by bbs who inject 'filt' into their calves in order to stand up to bbs who have better calves?
Title: Re: Dorian Yates amazing offseason pics
Post by: SomeKindofMonster on March 20, 2012, 05:34:17 PM
I thought I had found a rare, unreal shot of Yates
and looked hard to find the magazine. I finally found it,
scanned it in grayscale and color only to realize it had been
released by flex online at some point.
The pic in the scan looks better though so here are the variations.
Pre 1995 Olympia - Quads looked great but he seemed to lose
some of his sweep come contest time that year to get ultra lean.
Enjoy..

Dorian had great quads, especially the lower quads, like milos

Lots of guys have huge upper thighs and lack of lower outer sweep and teardrop development, just huge shapeless mass

IMO, yates' legs had better shape than any mr O, and nasser

Yates had better leg shape than Nasser? Put the crack pipe down. His legs were rarely sliced and separated like the rest of him and their shape was just ehhh. Nasser's legs were miles better

nasser had phenomenal detail, ronnie had maybe biggest ever, jay has the most striated left quad in history, kai has unbelievable mass & cuts

My point is , IN MY OPINION (don't wana say taste, cause bay might read this), the proportion of the lower to upper quads is more appealing than the top heavy big massive quads.

Nasser obviously had yates on sweep, detail, and from the side.

Overall legs, I give it to doz

dorian needed his upper legs to be a little bigger to go with his huge great calves.. still not to the extent to affect the balance between his upper and lower legs.. he also never had great hardness in his quads like nasser, ray, cormier.. just to mention some in his era.. IMO and as you said it's a matter of taste nasser lower body was over all better shaped and more balanced than dorian's..

You know dorians signature pose where he is flexing his right arm, slightly bent over  and displaying the leg in the same manner nasser did in ab/thigh pose?

The detail in the sartorious and the balance in that pose, very few can do it. Nasser could too.

Out of the mr olympias balanced lower body, and the proportion to upper, I give it to yates

out of other mr. olympias may be it goes to yates (with samir in 2nd) but still nasser had overall better lower body than any mr. olympia 8)

ronnie had no calves and his quads looked kinda ugly..

jay had one quad clearly bigger than the other even before he injured the smaller one to make it more smaller..

and dickerson 3rd

Maybe the 3 x at least uncrowned champ had a better lower body from the side, and better sweep

This is the pose. Not a good angle/pic, but you get it

And Nassers legs were pretty? Looked like blobs of mass to me, Samir had better legs than Nasser.

Flex had real nice leg shape.

the blobby thing is what I don't like, sure he had great deep definition, sweep, and from the side, massive and complete, but the overall "look" if that means anything, goes to dorian. A balanced, proportionate look

mustafa's quads were thick and huge but i dont like their shape.. also they overpowered his calves (and the rest of him).. the one that must be mention now is dillett,.. at his best his "whole" lower body was one of the VERY best ever..

His calves weren't that weak, he just didn't have farmers calves. I think mid length insertion looks best with calves.

What bothers me about Yates is that is calves are in proportion to his thighs.

Calves should be an afterthought......underd eveloped sticks that merely seep out, under comically disproportionate buffoon-size upper legs.

For Yates to have calves that are so rare, and therefore unfair, constitutes a hate crime.

Coleman sticks, unnaturally injected with filt, even things out a bit....but even so, Yates' natural calves still give him an edge.

There is just something hatefully unfair about Yates' calf genetics.

  Dorian had visible abs at 305 lbs offseason. He could have stepped onstage at 285-290 lbs and still have better conditioning than 99% of bodybuilders on their best day. It is obvious that in his attempt to come with insane condition, he lost a lot of muscle and came in flat. His conditioning was insane, but he always looked flat.

might have been.   I competed in a few shows but had a buddy who was more in to it.  Yates was amazing.  following year was lee priest.

Saw him at the North Atlantic (?) championships up in Boston one year when he was 305.   The guy who won was 260 and looked like a bantamweight next to Yates.

Yates was like a cartoon - the smallest bodypart on him was his head.  I've seen Yates live when he won the NoC, and the 96 Olympia, but nothing was as impressive as the guest posing.

Yates had an unfair genetic advantage as far as calves.

Good calves are SO rare among pro bbs, that it is unfair to even include them as a body part.


Thank god, that the importance of calves has been diminished in recent years.

Thank god, that there are enough amoral stooges that can look at Coleman's fake, ungodly, German oil injected, unnatural lower legs..... and due to measurement size, view them in the same category as Yates.

Obliviousness rules!!!
