He certainly ain't overpowered by Cormier, although of course that isn't saying a lot... ;)

Forearms still look solid.

As I've said before, if you read Jon Hotten's Muscle the author spent a fair amount of time with Yates and puts an end to a lot of the bullshit about him since his retirement.

Right on Zugzwang, He looks in great shape, and he doesnt look small!

Obviously for the clueless folks, hes not gonna look like a top pro thats competitve, for Christs sake!  ::)

Yates is looking healthy! "Lets Flye Yates!"   8)

I was talking to Dorian last year after the Arnold.He looked pretty big for someone retired and was hard and cut.I asked him what he weighed he said 265.He looked it.The only problem was a big diff between his arms.the one he tore was much smaller than his other one wiched looked to be over 20in.But he cant help that.
Title: Re: dorian looking large..............
Post by: HERACLES on December 19, 2005, 09:35:28 AM
21guns thas cooL! He really weighed THAT much too! wow..

Yeah, one thing about yates, I noticed in his video that torn bicep isnt very pretty... not his fault though..

His blood and guts vid was kick ass..how was he pretty cool?

I met Kevin at the Exp this year, and he is one of the nicest people. Really cool dude!  8)

thanks mike for posting this. 200 pounds? im 5-8 and 200, yates is 5-11 and  judging from the pi, must be 240. look at the veins and how thin the skin is on his forearms vs. cc's offseason condition.   yates has been retired 8 years, how do you really expect him to look after not being in competative mode for that long?

Cormier actually seems to be one of the smaller pros these days. Dorian looks big there. And didn't his hands and feet get bigger from GH? That adds weight too.

God, you are a fucking clown. He looks slightly smaller in the second photo because of the lighting and angle of the shot. But no, you attribute any apparent difference in muscle mass, however small, to hormone replacement therapy. ::)

Just because someone isn't bulging out of their clothes doesn't mean they aren't big. Dorian could easily be 250 in those photos. Fucking Mickey Mouse retards.

The pics don"t do him justice.He wears baggy clothes.In person he looks much bigger.forearms,traps back look relay thick.One of his arms is impressive.I believe he"s over 250lbs.Remember he has some big legs,and huge calves which would add to the weight.

Yes, I've read it about four or five times. I can't recommend it more highly. It's a proper book, though, with some great anecdotes and stories. I've exchanged a few emails with the author and he's a decent guy who really had a genuine interest (as an outsider) in the sport.
Title: Re: dorian looking large..............
Post by: MADMAX6 on December 20, 2005, 08:10:56 AM
Well the reason I know he's 250 is because Dorian told me so himself, the day I took this pic...

For crying out loud
Dorian looks healthy:
-kept decent muscle mass
-not carrying much fat!

I guess he is smart enough to take care of his health. If he is on HRT? If he is, smart thing to do. The health benefits of HRT doses (test) beats the negative side effects by a million miles...

Title: Re: dorian looking large..............
Post by: migchain on December 20, 2005, 04:23:00 PM
This video is from about two years...      The guy who is training with dorian is Waldemar Guimaraes, brazilian steroid and contest prep guru.
Waldemar worked at Temple Gym for ten years.. he came back to Brazil in 98 or 99...    The other guys are brazilian BBers that was in Birminghan to do NABBA Mr Universe 2003 or 04 I donīt know exactly... 
The guy with a White shirt is Gerson Guimares two-time runner up at NABBA Universe class3  who is trained by Waldemar Guimareas.
The guy wearing red shirt is Edson Prado, former two  time NABBA Universe Class 2 winner . Today Edson is another unknown  IFBB pro...

I agree.......I don't think Dorian is even 200.....but he is lean and he does look good-except he looks very old.

I am not slamming Dorian at all. He looks great. I am just stating for the record he is not 260-that was his contest weight 10 years ago-and he probably has close to the same BF levels today by the looks of his forearms.....yet he is no where near his size of 10 years ago.

Title: Re: dorian looking large..............
Post by: DIVISION on December 20, 2005, 11:56:05 PM
please explain "not healthy"

Dorian's face looks much older than his age.

That's from all the years of concurrent AAS megadosing.

No getting around that.......he grew so much bigger than what his natural potential was, that it really took a toll on his body.

He's probably healthy compared to the average adult of the same age, but he sure looks old and worn down.   :-\

The pics are not the same at all

In the first pic it is clearr he has lost interest and not touched arms in months

In the 2nd he is on.

Face facts.  Once these guys stop hitting a ton of gear, they look like nothing much.  It's sad, but true.  Levrone, Prince, Dorian, Wheeler, the list goes on and on.  I can see dropping 30lbs or so, but not 50+.  Yeah, the diet and training is different, but there is one thing missing really...gear.  What a sorry sport I enjoy ;D 
Title: Re: dorian looking large..............
Post by: rocket on December 23, 2005, 01:23:32 AM
Yep NYC I agree.

I say he's heard the buzz that he's washed up (according to people here) and he's out to prove things now.

The fire would have gone out after retiring but having numbskulls saying oh he's in terrible shape would have enthused him to get on.

I doubt he looked bad before he jumped back on the bandwagon anyway, as he does wear big shirts.

brilliant deduction jackass. a guy doesnt shave his arms = he is clean. a guy who shaves his arms = he is heavy on steroids.
wow, you really put it all together now. the mystery has been solved. everyone, be on the lookout for guys who shave their arms. they are mega dosing gear!!!!  and if you dont shave your arms, then you must not be a real bodybuilder.

Well, let's not be so hard on Dorian.  He was, after all, quite possibly the greatest Mr Olympia ever.  His back is still monstrous considering he hasn't really worked out that much in the past few years.

Amazing how bad former bodybuilders look these days. Their skin looks like shiit. Their noses ears and chins are all oversized. HRT probably doesn't even work. It must suck to be a former Mr. O and then to look like maybe you wrestled in your youth or worked as a brick layer.

dude your skin shoudln't sag that much in your 40's. Anyway agree that men should be men, the guys on this board spend more time plucking their eyebrows, shaving their bodyhair, and looking at men. Straight men look more gay than ever.
