Pity there aren't any pics of his calves when he started serious training in 83.

Curious to see how big they were before he turned then into these fucking melons.

Dorian was great between 91 until bicep tear.
He was still great after that but it did hurt his overall
appearance. Even his right, good arm was never as big
again as it was at the 93 Olympia.
If Doz could have kept his 92 Olympia waist
with his 93 mass that would have been a sight
we've never seen. I used to think 1995 was the best Yates
but after further info; without a doubt prejudging at the 93
Olympia is his greatest. He was full and his arms and legs in
particular looked fantastic. I've noticed the drier Doz gets the more
his legs thin out. If you watch the prejudging video and photos from
93 you can see his legs are big, full and separated but had thinned out some
by the night show. His proportion was excellent. I know people love that
1996 Grand Prix video but I knew for a long time it was posted in the wrong
screen ratio which makes him look 20-25 pounds bigger than he actually was.
I didn't really want to say anything about it but had heard from people that
do video work that it was stretched because of the wrong ratio (I believe unintentually).
Plus I had seen the video in the proper ratio. That still doesn't take away from his
condition. But, if you go back to 91, 92, 93 you can tell he has more leg separation
and his chest striations like at the 91 Olympia is just incredible.  
I wonder what he would have looked like had he never been injured.
Same for Levrone..I have no doubt Kevin would have ended up with a much denser look
had he never had the pec tear.

Two things impress me in these pics,the back thickness in the relaxed pose from behind,and the arm and calf size in the silhouette pic.

Here's an example of how deep and pronounced
his striations were in 1991.
2nd pic, although small I think is from 1995.

Amazing photo. That's why he is called greatest bb. Great lines, complete and balanced physique. You won't see such a picture of Nasser (long torso and fat ass) or Coleman (barrel legs and ugly calves).

For me he was his best ever about a month for the 1992 mr O. Those gym pics. For the show he was too light but crazy ripped.

I saw him guest pose two weeks after the show and he was obviously starting to blow up but there were still striations galore. People were genuinely flabbergasted.

even if you chose ronnie over dorian, thats only one bodybuilder since 1992 that could compare and possibly beat yates.

Yates was the first Mr Olympia that...to me...looked like something other than human.  The guys that came before him...you could look at them and think it was possible to look like them with an insane amount of training and some chemical help.  Yates comes along and it's clear that you're over here...he's waaaaaay over there and you can't get there from here.

IMO dorians legs are what guys should be shooting for. he didnt have a huge quad sweep and i think it looks better. His hamstrings and calves are unbelievable. But most top guys have legs that look stupid. Branch warren for example, not a single person would ever want that kind of a sweep. its too much.

Well Haney outmassed Dorian in 1991 and he didn't push it up till 93, So....And it's all chemical help and zero training any which way.

Branch Warren just has bad quads, the same as Dorian, Quad sweep is very important to a physique, very important.

Yeah Paul Demayo had rubbish quads too, and Tom PLatz, all too big for a normal person, so by default bad.

He outweighed Dorian by 10 lbs not really outmassing him , and he didn't decide to compete heavier until 93 doesn't have much to do with ' pushing it up ' it has to do more with dieting , recall the 1991 Mr Olympia was only his 3 pro show ever he was very much a rookie.

It doesn't have anything to do with drugs.

I mean this statement is just utterly ridiculous either you're trolling or you're serious , either way seriously quad sweep is very important to a physique? according to whom? you can say a lot about Branch but to say he just has bad quads is really dumb . I mean really dumb

Well the point is that Haney's build was no more easily attainable than Dorian's.

It has everything to do with drugs or are you of the opinion that a natural Dorian would be an unrealistic goal.

He has bad aesthetics full stop and his quads fall within that statement. I'm not talking about his leg mass or his look in regards to contests.

I agree with the first part. And no it doesn't have to do everything with the drugs. Drugs are a means to an end just like the weights , would Dorian look like he did without the drugs? NO would he look like he did without the training? or the diet or genetics to say it's all drugs is an oversimplification

Well we can only go by what you type , and if you don't elaborate your point we can't guess what you really mean . So his quads are bad because they're not aesthetic? what makes a quad aesthetic? when you say they are bad because they're not aesthetic you haven't explained anything

im not saying quad sweep is not important. but since the 80s and 90s quad sweep is getting to be too much. The guys from back then minus platz, demayo and a few others that had monster legs still had great leg development without it being out of control. Now you need legs that require sleeping bags for pants. its bodybuilding not bodybulking. Leg size and sweep are too much now. IMO
