Pics from his last year, when he competed with a torn triceps hanging by a thread prove nothing. Post pics from 90 to 96 as well :)

Yes, Nasser, Kevin and Dillet look fantastic from the front. Turn them around and they are almost a joke. Kevin had a decent RLS and at times Nasser did too. But that's it. They were destroyed because of their bad back development.

But they own him in every other pose. So its not about overall development its about the Mr. O the big wigs want to win and them focusing on his one strong point.  ::)

Photos are just one single millisecond of a contest. You can throw up desirable photos of Nasser owning Ronnie in 98 or Dana Lynn Bailey owning Cedric McMillan the other week at an expo. Watch the videos or see them for real and you begin to see how they look in relation to one another whilst opening up and moving around the stage etc. Just like how people will post photos of Phil on his own and say he is narrow, but ignore the fact that when you watch the last Olympia he was give or take a couple of inches the same width as Jay.

Photo's say a lot when there is consistency, we are not talking about isolated cases here.

Dana Lynn Bailey owning Cedric? Not sure if serious?

Jay is far wider than Phil.

You are missing the point. What I am saying is that depending on the angle you are trying to spin on something, the easier it will be to find. I can go right now and probably find photos where Phil looks just as wide as Jay depending on the angle and other variables. Point is, people latch on to one aspect ignoring others and use that to debunk the whole contest. I will readily admit by 97 Dorian's arms (particularly in the FDB) pale in comparison to the rest of his physique/former years.

I'm not sure what the dillett pic is supposed to prove. Everyone knows paul was a freak, and dwarfed many, looked insanely inhuman, but it doesn't mean anything on stage.
Dillet couldn't pose. At all
Dillet had a very poor back, accentuated by huge delts
Dillet did not have dorians conditioning, and if he had, he wouldn't be able to display it
And I liked dillet, like everyone else(no homo), but its fact

Nasser wasn't good enough, except ab/thigh

At the time neither was ronnie

Nor kevin, especially from behind

Nor ray, size

Nor labrada, size

Etc

And if you actually look at the pic, he is more or less matching Dillett in width and size. Look at the legs etc.

Its true, natural clavicle width, quads, calves, chest

But dillet's delts & arms! Unfookingbelievable!
Unfortunately takes more than that, you need more than just show muscles from certain angles. Otherwise strydom wouldve been Mr O, along with mike christian and nasser

In the BDB posted for favorable nasser comparison, yates is at a bad angle, not in pose yet, and nasser still looks mostly all delts (oil filled delts)

Its a fluke. Like when in some pics boyer coe has visible abs

He looked great in 92, he started getting blocky in 93. Although he kept great conditioning, he couldn't carry the extra mass well after 1993.

He got a lot of gifts, but then so did Ronnie.

I actually disagree with that cos training doesn't maketh the conditioning, I think it was his nutrition and response to drugs that made him the granite that he was. That's my shitty 2 cents.

Thats 97, and Im not really sure if he deserved the Sandow that year. The question is, was Nasser good enough to win with no back?

Wide yes, but no thickness, no conditioning, no lower back. His back seriously almost looks as deformed as Dorian's arms.
As I said, Im not convinced Dorian deserved 97, but it's not like Nasser was knocking him out, thats whats so pathetic.

The back is 1 fourth to 1 third the entire body and Nasser's back is worse then some NPC competitors. where as the biceps are less then 10% of the physique.

This is where our thinking is fundamentally different - I look at the arms as a percentage of the body, which is greater? The back, or the arms? The back, by far. Its damn near 33% or more of the body.

If you were asking, what would I rather have running around in a T shirt, arms obviously. But these guys aren't, they're judged on how well developed their body is, not their "gym rat" muscles. And the back is a MUCH, MUCH, larger percentage of muscle than the arms. Especially prior to 97, when Dorian still had triceps on both arms.

Dorian had 1 arm in 97. He probably could have pulled out but was too much of a competitor to. It's not his fault nobody else was good enough that year to turn the judges heads. Dorian saw he was finished and retired. What more do you want?

No, I said that pic is from 95, a contest which Dorian dominated Nasser. Never said that 1 pic is displaying domination, but I'm not a guy that judges an entire contest based on 1 picture either.

if you notice the dorian fans post other pics and then say yeah yates dominated
i posted 8 pics and not one person can say yates dominated in one of those pics...

A torn biceps is only visible in the front double biceps pose.  Even if Yates lost that pose, he won every other one.  If you have a torn pec, lat, or quad those are harder to hide.

Dorian dominated from the front, back & side in 1992, 1993, 1995. In 1996 (he only dominated from the back), but he sure as hell didn't dominate in 1994 and 1997.

How the hell did Dorian get a perfect score in the symmetry round at the 1994 Mr. Olympia looking like this? Someone explain this because Milos (who came 13th) is owning the shit out Dorian.

4th pic is the score card.

The same thing can be said of Ronnie Ice, in 2001 @ the O he didn't "Dominate" Cutler, or in 2002 @ the O he SCRAPPED bye with the win IMO only due to Levrone showing up with Sup-par Quads that year, and he Didn't "Dominate" @ the other Show he lost to Gunter in as well, Point being there was ALWAYS years the top champs looked liked crap (Bye there own high standards) its a 2 way street ice Both Coleman and Yates had somewhat "Questionable" Victory's, there are a NUMBER of pics showing Yates in Great Condition @ the 1997 O....obviously his arm was Shocking and his waist wider etc @ 270lbs and there's probably not too many who would of Blinked twice IF Nasser had gotten the Nod in 97, nether Coleman and Yates were "Perfect" however IMO Both @ their Respective Bests Yates was a touch more Balanced than Coleman overall, Coleman was Ultra Huge and Freakier no doubt about it however that alone wouldn't IMO guarantee him Victory, its the Balance of their Physiques 1st and foremost @ their Primes that could be the Answer in a Contest of the 2 THEN the rest of the Criteria would follow, and with that, there would be a result ether-way.

Contests are not judged by one pic from one angle taken at a specific point in time

Regarding domination, even Haney in 90 and Arnold in 80 had their difficulties

Dickerson won in 82 over what many thought were better bbers with a torn pec and arm

Franco won with no legs in 81 and mutant gyno

He carried the mass perfectly well.

Yes he did in 95 but anytime he got super dry he seemed to lose
his thigh mass. The pics pre contest 1995 prove it.

Watch the 1993 prejudging video where he was a tad fuller
(I personally like the bit fuller look better)
His legs look awesome (and his arms for that matter)
at the 1993 Mr. O prejudging.
I think he had dried out more; or less carbs for the night show
and his legs had lost some sweep and size.

Yes

Dorians arms at his best were superior to either of those two at their best

And as franco aged, his bis became knottier, and dickerson tore one(or both?) bicep, and a tri  too, I think, coupled with the bursitis in the elbows, his arms were pretty shot by 1982

Mesmorph are you trolling or just a moron?  ;D

Seriously, it is impossible to judge the outcome of a contest based on a picture or a collection of pictures. A photo only represents a second of what was a contest. Why do you think judging is done live? Watch the videos and you'll see how Dorian dominated everyone (probably except 97).
I think I can understand your logic though, you look at a comparison pic and think "wow this bodybuilder has more impressive bodyparts here and there, he wins!"...that is not how contests are judged. Three main things are judged: muscle size, conditioning and balance & proportion. Dorian was far ahead his competition in these criteria. And it is not only my opinion, but it is supported by fact..the fact that Dorian won with straight firsts.

And yes, Dorian dominated more than Ronnie did. At his best in 98, Ronnie won by 3 points in one of the closest contests ever...Dorian in 93 was so dominant that he wasn't even compared in one of the rounds.

@ Iceman,
Dorian won the symmetry rounds with perfect score (even when not having the best symmetry) because all rounds are physique rounds. This means all the criteria is judged in every round, size, conditioning, proportion, etc. Obviously Dorian met all the rest of the criteria better and since the lowest scores are tossed..it is clear to see why he got firsts.

1 when you address me if you are expecting a reply... dont get personal (1st line)
2 i dont think dorian... dominated anything... most of his wins were gifts the pictures i posted dont lie....
i do not gree  with the criteria where you can look like dogshit from the front and win because you have a good back
and no one should be allowed to win the mr olympia title with both arms torn THAT is not a full physique....
3. IMO dorian sucked apart from 93 92.... dorian is the branch of the 90's essEntally a conditoned FUX

I was in Atlanta for the show in 1994 and Dorian had a 3rd place physique at BEST. Shit, Aaron Baker should have been 5th, maybe 4th over Dillett. Dorian came out for the prejudging bloated as hell, no seperation and bad color. Shawn Ray was the clear winner that year with Levrone 2nd

Nasser had a massive wide an dthick back
