he probably though dorian had a gut seeing he acknowledges said characteristic in his encyclopedia
-
Arnold didn't rate Dorian at all - there was an article in Flex magazine about it back in the day where Arnold slated the current crop of bodybuilders of the 1990s with their guts and also talked about Yates not coming to compete at the Arnold Classic by hiding away in his Temple gym dungeon all year before showing up to the Olympia and taking the title with barely a word. Said something as well about bodybuilders not dressing classy, i.e., not wearing designer clothes around contests unlike in the 70's where they apparently used to dress to impress outside of the gym - he didn't like all the baggy wear etc.
Also, Arnold didn't like it because he was all for promoting the sport and getting the word out about bodybuilding whereas Dorian never used to go on TV shows and talk about himself etc.
I think Dorian did an interview with Peter McGough shortly afterwards when he heard Arnold's comments and basically blasted Arnold about it.
I think ND would be able to recount what I'm on about. It was a good tit-for-tat argument pre-internet.

thats basically about right. He said todays guys walk around in baggy clown pants ;D

They were completely different characters. Arnold was a pathological attention whore while Dorian hated the spotlight and wanted to be left alone in his dungeon gym in Britain.
I don't think those guys were buddies.

I remember this.
Arnold went after all the current BBers and talked shit about them all saying how they couldn't look good in a suit and in his day the judges looked at a guy and judged them on everything in their life not just their physique.
Dorian came back and said once you get above 210 pounds it's hard to fit into a suit and Arnold wouldn't know that since it's been so long since he weighed 210 pounds.
He said Arnold couldn't refer to him by name, at the 1996 Arnold Classic he said as MC 'We have Mr Olympia in the Audience' Dorian goes, once again, can't refer to me by name directly.
At the 1997 Mr O press conference someone asked Dorian what he thought of Arnold's comments and Dorian said 'Arnold Who?'

They are two polar opposite personalities. I guess in this instance, opposites do not attract.

Sorry, the "Arnold who" statement is weak.

pictures are worth a thousand words
-
Arnold had half a physique (upper body) through his entire career (his legs couldn't place top 10 in a mid level amateur show today), while Yates had the most complete physique ever, as far as sheer muscle evenly distributed throughout his body (even had killer calves and forearms). Arnold also had the back of a complete amateur, compared to Yates who took back development to the next level much like Platz did for legs...
-

Nah they are in order of who won by year
-
dorian will always be down the list
-
Arnold doesn't like Yates because he just knows deep down inside him that his BS would not work with Yates. Arnold knows his audience. It worked great with man child Columbo and old ladies. But guys like Menzer and Yates will have none of it.
I like Ahnuld but let's face it - he is a BS artist!

jason H is correct
there was that article in Flex mag- dopesnt mean its true
Flex could ahve doen it jsut to generate controversy and boost sales
but in the article yes Arnold was basically bagging 90's BB's, saying they had no class and looked like clowns wearing the baggy pants etc

Arnold hatin

Arnold took Bodybuilding to public recognition - he was the ideal of the bodybuilder, the whole industry was carried by him into the 80s, when he left the scene more and more, in the 90s it colapsed to the dark hole known as the cult we have today
At the same time, Dorian was the beginning of the end - he was the first freak that was rewarded with Mr O title - this was the way the judges starded to kill their own thing in the early 90s to 2013
what more can you say
but don t get me wrong, i don t blame dorian for that, he just tried to max out things in his way, and acctually there were not many alternative routes

ronnie coleman is number one

well, you are not objective, arnold s biceps and pecs were twice the size of dorians, while he used steroids only and yates took AS MUCH igf 1, insulin, HGH as possible
btw
arnolds legs were as big as he wanted them to be , ideal in this era
i don t think you can say that about dorian s arms ;)
-
ronnie coleman is number one
GOAT among afro american bodybuilders ;)

dorian had really impressive calves, but any other part of his is pure shit compared to ronnie
-
yates was the true goat,best back and calves ever!
-
yates was the true goat,best back and calves ever!
possibly i can agree on this,
but arms and chest were SHIT compared to RC
-
yeah,but all around yates was the better bodybuilder.
-
They were completely different characters. Arnold was a pathological attention whore while Dorian hated the spotlight and wanted to be left alone in his dungeon gym in Britain.
I don't think those guys were buddies.
We all know how Arnold and Mentzer shared the luv between themselves.
Yates was a Mentzer pupil.
So two completely different camps of bodybuilding, each successful in their own right.

I am not objective!?! Ok, objectivity requires evodence and proof, so u obviously u know that, so then, going with your argument, show me any videos or pics where Arnold is and I quote u "arnold s biceps and pecs were twice the size"
Put up or shut up metal midget! Show one (not photoshopped!-) pic or video where Arnold has 40 plus inch arms and a chest unimaginable?!?
Waiting...
-
Do you think Arnold liked anyone more than himself, come on fools...who is the most successful bodybuilder around, ARNOLD!!! Deal with it.

big legs were for women in arnolds time
-
are you serious about Dorian, he had no arms fgs! Arnold took a sport to the mainstream. As for no back, better check some videos out.
and don't compare bodybuilders of different generations, it's just foolish. the difference is the amount of drugs that current future dead bodybuilders take now.
it was best said this way, Arnold was as big as he wanted to be. I believe it worked, whats Dorian doing now...

40inch arms are 4 times as big as 20 inch arms - idiot
Obviously you don t get the basics
And so are not worth the discussion
-
Dorian actually wanted to bring the "sport" of bodybuilding into the media ect.
He talked about this once in an interview, he said when he became Mr. Olympia he got some TV invitations but did not do them because instead of talking about the sport he would just have to get undressed and be presented as a freak or some kind of animal
-
Prime Ronnie is better than Prime Dorian.

True, I remember he got asked about that and he compared it to being treated differently from other sportsmen, i.e footballers - said that for example you wouldn't have Paul Gascoigne coming onto a talkshow dressed in his football kit juggling a football - you would have him in a smart suit and have him sit down and chat about things. Apparently talkshow hosts didn't want to do that with him so he told them where to go.

ronnie coleman is number one
This.... Btw, I need to bring the Ronnie gallery and adventures thread.
WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HH
-
prime yates is better than prime coleman!
-
prime coleman, yates couldnt even stand next to in his prime, ronnie is the greatest champ ever, thats a fact, if you look at wins in contests and the mind blowing limits ronnie took it, came in at 306 for the nightshow in 05 i believe.........yates never did that, and size was yates main attribute.

yep
yates cannot lift coleman's soiled thong from the crack of his striated glutes
he's a nobody compared to ronnie, that's a fact
