at least on this one pose......
This was back when Levrone was squatting & deadlifting like a powerlifter. Levrone is standing next to Yates, at his best, and Levrone looks good. Especially considering that Yates was known for his back shots.

how many eyetalian-americans have been the champ?
i'll admit that franco "cybergenics" was diesel and he should have went much further than he did

x 1,000,000
Yates crushed all that year. I love how the anti-Yates crew say so-and-so was beating or was as good as Yates "at least on this one pose".
Haha, what about all the other mandatories where he absolutely destroyed all-comers?

columbo wasn't an eyetalin-american, just a dego
and yea, santoriello was BOSS, his only flaw was a sub-par back

This is before Levrone (and everyone) gained 20+ pounds of bodyweight to compete with Yates. Imo, a 250+ Levrone was so much more dominating than a 230-240 pound Levrone.

eh... he never brought that level of conditioning heavier, so its a moot point.
you either got small and shredded levrone, or huge and not so shredded. If he could have ever brought them together he may have been a threat to yates, but he didnt/couldnt.
-
Labrada was looking fucking awesome like he always did!
I've heard/read a lot that photos of Dorian didn't do him justice - that he looked really different in the flesh. I have no idea though - maybe someone who's actually seen him in Olympia shape can comment. In this photo it certainly looks like Levrone is every bit as good.
-
I think this was his best shape ever after this contest, he never got his condition right again and his physique become unbalanced and his legs became a real weakness in comparison to his larger less conditioned upper body.

Not sure if you're serious about Dorian, since his fans claim this a lot here, and get ragged on for it.
I can say it's true. The photos don't capture the size or 3d effect yates has - from the front his legs can look skinny/2d, when in reality they were huge....He dwarfed so many guys on stage.
-
I totally agree seeing him in person in shape, he was a step up from everyone including an Olympia winning Coleman, his all round conditioning was insane.
-
where is pauls lower back
3 quarters of Paul's back froze and slid off.

I never got to see him in contest shape but when I first joined Temple Gym in late 1996 I saw Dorian at 300lbs - it was his last competitive year before he defended the 1997 Olympia and subsequently retired. He was in the gym training his son Lewis at the time who was only still a relatively young boy back then (maybe early teens), just messing around with a few machines as it was offseason. Dorian was unreal - wearing the biggest t-shirt I had ever seen a human being wear at that point in my life. I've seen bigger bodybuilders since at Expos and the like, but you never forget the first time you see a pro in the flesh so to speak (no homo).

Saw him both contest shape at the 96 O and NOC, and offseason guest posing at 305. All were unreal.
-
Same here, i was never a fan of Dorian, couldnt see the hype,
In pics he looked Kinda Flat and angular.
Until I saw him on stage in competion :o :o :o :o
Lights out Game over.
He looked like Man v boys.
cant explain how why,
just he had to be Seen.!!!!
Oh and i always rated levrone's phsyique.
-
I saw yates in person at about 300. Huge & Lean.
I never saw him compete. But I have heard that he lost a little of his freakiness when he dropped below 270-280LB.
But he wanted to be ripped so he would diet down to 255-260LB

both kevin and dorian need better arms (mainly biceps) to really make the back pose stand out.
compare to someone who has a back AND arms, like Ronnie, and the difference is really striking:
-
as you can see, ronnie at peak owns em all in the back shots
-
Back right off the back with the douche lord back patting double reply meltdown.....
you're still a sad man Hulkster.
-
Obsessed homosexuals.

In terms of detail but he disappears in poses with Yates and Coleman
Flex is narrow compared to those guys

I've heard/read a lot that photos of Dorian didn't do him justice.
TOTALLY. I saw him guest pose a few weeks after the 1995 Mr. Olympia, at around 285, and it was mind-blowing. Pics just NEVER captured Yates' incredible mass, thickness and density. I've seen many of the best up close (no homo), and when Dorian's quads were flexed no more than three feet from my eyes (again, NO HOMO ;D), it was the most freaky shit I had ever seen. His musculature didn't appear real. It actually looked like granite or something. Quality, quality, quality ... coupled with crazy separation, striations and tissue-thin skin.
During his prime, despite his injuries, the totality of his development and conditioning made him truly dominant, and this is saying A LOT when one considers his Mr. Olympia competitor peers.

you can kind of see that in the 96 gp video on youtube.... dude is literally huge in all directions no matter which way he turns.

Yeah, he didn't have a big distended GH gut.

His quads were 3 feet from you? Did you have a chair on the stage?

Kevin looks great here. Dorian doesn't look so great
dorian once again looking flat as fuck on stage. No wonder his facebook pic is a shot from a gym posing session X weeks before competition. His best pics are always before or after a show, when he was still in top notch condition but much more full.

good point
Germans are definitely wider through the shoulders, but i gotta admit that many degos got round pretty muscles (no homo)
-
NO, this man had the best back
in certain poses... but view him at a different angle and his lats disappear and you see how freaking THIN his back is.
alllllll illusion. detail in the inner-back, rhomboids, lower part the of traps, ect... draws your eyes to the center and then the round delts draw them out, gives the illusion of a big back... but it's actually pretty damn thin.
it tends to be either A or B.
A- great big, separated back with thick, heavy, hanging lats.... combined with weak, smaller, medicore arms/bi's.
or
B- high, thin lats, lacking detail and top-to-bottom separation... combined with big, round full arms/biceps.
it's a rare thing that a guy with a great back had great arms. guys with great arms seemed to let their arms do a lot of work in back movements, whereas guys with shitty arm genetics were able to use the muscles in their backs better (when training back).
