This is a realitively new pic of Yates apparently he got some new ink and you can still see atrophy of the left tricep , I wonder if he is totaly drug free or if he has to now stay on a maintence dose for the rest of his life.
-
lumpy elbow and monster tricep

another temporary muscleman :o

another temporary muscleman :o
You know thats a good point because I wonder if he stuck at it naturally he probably would have been bigger then he is post Pro/Drug era , who knows ? ???
-

you must be joking because hes retired,what do u think was gonna happen
-

blame me because these losers have artificially inseminated muscles :)
that's called blame transference
-
is that his daughter?...he had a son that i know...still married?
-
Sad. After all that work, he's barely recognizable as a lifter.
Retirement's no excuse for mediocrity.
-
regardless of how he looks now, his legacy shows that he was the best of his generation in regards to achievement. Although Shawn should have beaten him, Dorian set the standards to a level which has rarely, if at all, been surpassed
-
That's the predictable response: "he was great", etc.
Looks like he's barely touched a weight. Retirement = not having to care.
How about a little pride in appearance?

if that was the gold standard then you must love fools gold because his herculean physique came out of a needle and syringe :)
-
which top pros hasnt?
-
u guys are funny...it's like saying that carl lewis wasted his life because he can no longer run the hundred under 10
-
are you suggesting carl lewis performed those Olympian records on laysix diuretics ? :)
-
another temporary muscleman :o
it happens to every bodybuilder.. none of them will retain their muscles and sizes
-
the hundred has been run on deca and winstrol(later) since the 50 s....not the point though
-
Sadly, I'm afraid some of you are going to have to find your role models elsewhere.

ronnie coleman is going to get small one day also,all your hero,s will be normal one day cause you cant stay on large amounts of drugs forever or youll die

lol yeah because if this thread existed on Mayhem it would have been shitcanned FAST by massive g or another board nazi's 'moderator'
-
Ron never will be small, he is born to be a beast.
-
lumpy elbow and monster tricep
yeah, he clearly shows the effects of growth hormone... and he was in on the early stages of the drug's explosive use.
Competitors like Gunter, Ronnie, and Jay are going to look so foolish in ten years when they're off gear.
-
Ron never will be small, he is born to be a beast.
lol yeah there are 5'9", 230 fatso diesel truck drivers all over
-
I'd say Dorian is at ease w/his current physique and glad to be healthy and away from the lifestyle. Plus he's naturally still pretty thick.
-
He's been to the heights of bodybuilding and you're wondering why he's not enthusiastic about doing it anymore.
I'm not a kids guy but come on, the most important thing to him right now has got to be his child (not appeasing douchebags who will never even look like he does now).
Anybody complaining about retired pro's shape is clearly a complete and utter imbecile.

Of course all 40 something U.K or U.S. men look like that just by eating chips and watching T.V. ::)

He's retired. At least he's still alive

Yes fuckin Ali looks like shit. I can't believe he ain't still fighting
Joe Namath what a waste, I can't figure out why he isn't playing
Henry Aaron what a loser, you think he'd stay in baseball to make sure nobidy breaks his records
Arnold Palmer, what a pussy. He can't even beat a guy named Tiger
John McEnroe what the hell! Why would you quit playing when he should be winning the U.S. Open every year
I don't understand why all these people don't keep competing till they die. Oh! maybe cause they are RETIRED! You can really tell when young people say things on these boards. I was the same way when I was younger. I could never imagine not going to the gym and notbeing the strongest guy wherever I went. But, you know somethings happen and things change. YOu young guys are going to go through the same thing. It's great to be able to talk shit now and make fun of former greats, but the thing you have to realize is at least they got there. At least they did what they set out to do. I am willing to bet that 99% of the people on here ragging Dorian and others for looking so shitty now and how come they don't stay in shape have never competed, acheived a high status and are under 35 or 40. It's easy to pinpoint ignorance

Those are really lame analogies-those guys are in their 60s, retired 30 years ago, Yates retired 8 years ago! You've just compared Yates with senior citizens, and underlined how rapidly he's deteriorated in his 40s.
Sad in that if there's a love of training, it shouldn't just blow away in the wind after the competition stops, particularly since "retirement's" usually in the late 30s. Some guys continue to take pride in themselves and can be smaller/natural and still impressive. I mean, if you love lifting, there's no reason to have to give up.
Here're some examples, guys close to 60.
As far as the flawed sprinting analogy, I'm sure Lewis can still do a 10.9 years later-the drop off hasn't been dramatic.
-
He's giving his body a reprive...did you expect him to megadose on drugs and further recruit injury...
lol like a real sports hero huh ?
-
I'd say Dorian is at ease w/his current physique and glad to be healthy and away from the lifestyle. Plus he's naturally still pretty thick.
I give Dorian props because he seems like a regular guy. He is retired, has a family and looks happy and healthy. No need to tear him down.
-
Agree with that, he seems more balanced, but that should include exercise.
-

lol are you saying he's a target if he doesnt have a family ? :o nobody is tearing him down..it's a reality check
-
Do you retards know how hard it is to eat six times per day and train twice per day. After you have being doing that for many years you get tired of it and you just want to keep in shape and not walk around weighing 300 lbs anyhow, maybe if you keyboard warriors get in the gym and actually workout you would understand.
-
My analogies were not meant to compare but rather just exhibit that we can't stay in championship form all our lives. At some point you have to stop or look like a fool. All these guys may be old now but they all retired in their 40's or earlier too except maybe Palmer. The fact is you lose physical ability, mental toughness and even the drive to compete anymore. That's a fact that sadly EVERY ONE of us will experience. And, sometimes cicumstance occur that prevent you from doing what you loved for many years.
-
he was a six time mr. o show some respect what is he supposed to be contest shape his whole life?

i have more respect for a fat opera singer like birgit nilsson who kicked the bucket at 87 last week.
she sang for 34 years not 6.
Nilsson believed that a singer needed "a natural voice, a good build, musicality,
good luck is also very important; good health and good physique," she continued
-
Dorian is retired. He's still probably bigger then most guys on here.
-
lumpy elbow and monster tricep
What is up with that?????
-
The dude tore both the biceps and the triceps on that arm you dipshits.
Check out the calves filling out his pants if you doubt he still has some muscle...
-

as he is now ?
-

A friend of mine torn his triceps and his elbow looks pretty similar (even after surgery).
This friend never used growth either...
-

Dumbell, give it a rest. Dorian is highly respected and you aren't going to sway many people's opinion of him with your attacks on him for moving on.
-
dont perceive my comments as attack. it's the truth and i didnt create this thread.
-
he's retired and obviously has other priorities like family.
someone said earlier that after competing for so many years and going through the dieting ,training, 6-8 meals a day for that long you eventually just want to take a step back.
he doesnt need to eat, train, and drug like crazy anymore
-
Agreed. Many guys still look great (relative to the rest of the population not their peak form). Dorian looks like another person entirely. Arnold for example said he'd stop competing but would never stop bodybuilding and has stuck to that statement. He obviously loves it - can the same be said for dorian?
-
The dude tore both the biceps and the triceps on that arm you dipshits.
Check out the calves filling out his pants if you doubt he still has some muscle...
And this has to be arguably the GAYEST statement of the year on getbig. Youre lookin at his calves "filling out" his pants.
-
So it's all or nothing here? It's either juiced to the gills, training like a maniac, eating eight times a day, or doing NOTHING as it appears to be right now with Dorian?
He looks like he's never picked up a weight in his life.
Are you serious? Do you really believe that all non-training 40 year old men look like Dorian? Have a look at him. Maybe not in that particular pic but at an expo pic taken in last year or so. He is obviously 60lbs lighter but he looks like he lifts. I don't believe you would actually agree with your own statement if you ever saw him.
Regards,
The Doc ::)

Yeah calves are a real turn-on for me ::)
-
bodybuilding on the pro level is brutal on the organs and body in general,most of these pros that say they are retiring are doing so cause they have to and not cause they want to,thier doc,s prolly told them that they either get off the drugs or die,believe that

Drugs are no excuse-where's his passion & pride to look good at a lower drug-free weight?

same can be said for craig
he was too lazy to dig a hole in the sand to bury the body
such a pro
-
That's why I would hate to be a former mr. O or any other figure of such significance. You are in a demand to look gracefully good at every single angle, lighting, pose, etc. in your fucking life or you get superficial comments from dipshits. Hell, maybe he should of done a few sets of push ups before walking out his door?
But, then it's the nature of bodybuilding that attracts the superficial.
Cute kid BTW.
-
You guys are nuts! The expectation that a retired olympian will and should walk around looking like they did onstge 10 years ago, or they are lazy oafs who have no pride. GROW UP. They may have realized there are other things in life now, health concerns and old injuries, family and business commitments, travel, enjoying life, and couldnt give a flying f*** what you think. They have put in their time in the gym, and have the Sandow trophies to show for it. What do you have? As you jerkoffs get older, you too will realize that time is not your friend.

That's a stupid assessment-these guys are not major figures, are hardly being chased by the paparazzi 24-7. Showing up in decent shape or staying tastefully covered up in the meantime for occasional appearances is easily done.
In the meantime, be smart by not walking around in sleeveless shirts-that's inviting superficial comments, you idiot!
-
No, because unlike you my whole identity is no longer tied in to how big my arm is. With age comes calm and wisdom, bigdumbass.

im sure dorians reading these boards now ready to kill himself cause he aint living up to everyones expectations,im sure hes losing sleep everynight cause hes not 300lbs no more and has elavated cholesterol levels and stressed kidneys and high blood pressure,i cant understand why he would give all those great things up ::)
-
This is a realitively new pic of Yates apparently he got some new ink and you can still see atrophy of the left tricep , I wonder if he is totaly drug free or if he has to now stay on a maintence dose for the rest of his life.
HE'S BEEN RETIRED FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS!!!! Who the fuck wants to stay big for the rest of their life

i couldnt care less what that foreigner thinks LOL
ps. yes i NEVER forgot the time shawn should have won
-
It's not bright to advertise your deterioration with sleeveless T-shirts - if he's so grown up, mature & beyond it as you say, then exercise a little subtlety and grow up on the appearance!
Lavrone can still pull off the look at a lighter weight.
-
Please tell me you're joking.
-
How can you judge his entire physique just by a picture of his arm?
And second, looks to me like he still lifts. Sure his arms aren't 20+" anymore, but they still have better shape to them then most men in their 40s.
-
dude is sporting a tiger or panther tattoo and wearing a sleeveless shirt and we're imbeciles for making a comparison
-
He's always had the ruddy sailor look and thinks that it's just fine.. ???
-
Yates deserves to be talked about with more respect than he is receiving in this thread.
He is one of the top 4 bodybuilders of ALL time and, as the interview on bodybuildingweekly showed, probably the most straight shooting and non-delusional pro bodybuilder ever....
So his twice torn arm doesn't look too good anymore and he was wearing a sleeveless shirt that day (might have been warm out).
The best part about the photo is that he isn't flexing or throwing a bullshit sign IMO...
-
Check out the smiles in the pic...he has his arm around something way more precious than ANOTHER Sandow. Live long and prosper King Dorian

interesting

Pumpster, that pic of Nubret is really old. He looks to be in his late 30's in it. Bill Grant still look great but the pro's from his era didn't put themselves through the hell that guys from Dorian's era did for contest prep. I think that comes into play when you look at Yates today.
-
who cares that yates doesn't have that much mass any more. he's retired. and he is focused on his family and on making money. he has nothing to prove and will never compete again. a lot of people who train so hard for so long let themselves go and it's OKAY.
-
I think it's great Dorian is at ease enough to be happy however he looks, hopefully he will be around the 200 mark rather than try and hang on to his former best. Others have managed to stay in great shape without being what they once were - David Hasselhoff for example. He had one of the greatest physiques of all time when in Baywatch, now he's a little off that form but still good.
-
Hasselhoff owns Dorian now
-
Hasselhoff owns Dorian now
That's a given but Hasselhoff is genuinely one of the greatest men and indeed world figures of any age.

old skool this is your second post regarding that child.
are you a pedofile ?

grant used to tell me stories about the roids they did back in 70,s,he said arnold loved primo and dbol and took a huge amount
-
yes i heard that too
-
Dorian may look like he worked out at some point in his life . . .
Dorian won the Olympia how many times? . . . 6? And Dorian is how old? . . . only 2 years older than Ronnie? And now Dorian "may" look like he used to work out . . . ha ha ha ha ha
-
what's wrong with you people? making fun of Yates because he doesn't look like a bodybuilder any more. He has 6 sandows, a huge name, lots of money, and as far as we can tell a happy family life. how many of you have even one of those? you're on a bodybuilding website talking about one of the greatest bodybuilders ever who could train for 6 months right now and look better than every single one of you who talk bad about him. oooh look Yates has no arms any more... you sound like a bunch of housewives with nothing better to do or like some old Bitches. have a little respect.
-
I don't care about Dorian or any other Mr. Olympia. Fact is, without drugs, they don't look like much. Hate to say over and over, but it's a fact. Pro's who stop competing and still look real good are most likely on. Massive amount of gear f**k up your natural test production, which is why I don't bother. With my mentality, I'd take 4x the recommended dosage. I'm sure mild cycles aren't a big deal, but at a pro level, get ready to be shot once you stop using. Show me one clean former pro who looks "great"? Don't give me the change of diet bullshit either. Sure, you'll drop 20lbs or so, but not 85lbs. Get real.
-
Show me one clean former pro who looks "great"?

There are retarded people who don't get it and there are people like me who realise that pageantry probably wasn't all that glamorous in the first place and spending your life appeasing closet homosexuals and 1 dimensional imbeciles with your big muscles is probably not the most varied and exciting existence. "Good" for a while but hey, its a big world out there and the gym isn't going to help you explore it.

sounds suicidal

Yes Primo was his favorite. And back then EVERYONE who did roids took D-Bol

tell that to the dude in the universal animal ads
-
ahaha thats great.
-
You can't tell jack shit from that one pic. There were recent pics that madmax at mayhem posted taken at his store and he didn't look skinny by any means. He said Dorian was by his own account 250lbs! I believe him, he has a lot of dense muscle still.
Dorian is a legend, who cares if he loses some weight. The retards are those who can't let go and focus on other things.

That bout sums it up. stfu haters.

i wish yates the best and ill still respect the man for his accomplishments even if he doesnt touch a weight again in his life,he was as hardcore as they came
-
Sean why are you in a bodybuilding website then?
-
It seems like some of you are associating self-worth with body image.
I believe Lee Haney took some ribbing from his son because he wasn't in as great a shape as he used to be, maybe that's why he's bigger.
As for Yates, why does it matter if he lost muscle? That's what happens after you stop competing and taking gear, as hard as it is to believe he could still train and look that way. He also could've decided to move on to other endeavors, participating in contests where males take their shirts off and pose isn't what lifes all about. Muscle will come and go.
If all you learn from bodybuilding is more bodybuilding than you haven't learned shit.

dorian.................. ..........one time he was at a club high on extacy and some chics boyfriend knocked him out, he comes to golds venice some when he here, he still has good claves, but hes just an old guy now, doesnt even lift heavy, but he still looks good for his record and age

ya i heard he likes the party drugs
-
thats the thing, alot of these people are hung up on these freakin party drugs, its so stupid, u dont even know what your buying when u purchase that crap, why take a chance on dying for real over a party drug to feel high, u see what that shit did to craig titus

youre right. unfortunately alot of pros get stuck in that trap.it's hurt more than one pros pre-contest dieting.
and it does more damage than just to your physique. like you said take a look at what happened to titus
-
See this
-
Dude's still a beast.
-
Looks like he stopped working out legs.
-
are you blind?
-
He should have that Bicep re-attached, stage a comeback, and crap on everyone.
-
He retired like 8 years ago. He still looks big and in good shape. Actually he looks better than a few offseason pro. Plus.. he looks happy. All in all he's holding up pretty good.
Hes got a new wife and kid, a supplement company, still has the gym, and he looks really healthy.
People need to stop hating on Yates.
-
he still looks pretty damn big to me
-
i wish yates the best and ill still respect the man for his accomplishments
Which accomplishments ?
Having taken tons of drugs ?
-
Yes fuckin Ali looks like shit. I can't believe he ain't still fighting
Joe Namath what a waste, I can't figure out why he isn't playing
Henry Aaron what a loser, you think he'd stay in baseball to make sure nobidy breaks his records
Arnold Palmer, what a pussy. He can't even beat a guy named Tiger
John McEnroe what the hell! Why would you quit playing when he should be winning the U.S. Open every year
I don't understand why all these people don't keep competing till they die. Oh! maybe cause they are RETIRED! You can really tell when young people say things on these boards. I was the same way when I was younger. I could never imagine not going to the gym and notbeing the strongest guy wherever I went. But, you know somethings happen and things change. YOu young guys are going to go through the same thing. It's great to be able to talk shit now and make fun of former greats, but the thing you have to realize is at least they got there. At least they did what they set out to do. I am willing to bet that 99% of the people on here ragging Dorian and others for looking so shitty now and how come they don't stay in shape have never competed, acheived a high status and are under 35 or 40. It's easy to pinpoint ignorance
Amen brother.
-
He has a supplement line so he should still be big and conditioned,It is very hard to tell in those photos what his shape he is in.
But for Jesus Christ he has to be in shape for his supplement line i know many will buy his supplements without knowledge of his current shape but many of us my self included will not buy his supplements from a small retired bodybuilder no matter how great he was.
-
Which accomplishments ?
Having taken tons of drugs ?
You must be on the wrong board. Amazingly, pro bodybuilders take tons of drugs, it's an integral part of the game. Dorian accomplised more than nearly every other pro who all took tons of drugs. So perhaps he trained harder, was more consistent, paid more attention to his diet, maximised his potential, didn't throw it away through partying and recreational drugs like Cormier or Wheeler?
-
regardless of how he looks now, his legacy shows that he was the best of his generation in regards to achievement. Although Shawn should have beaten him, Dorian set the standards to a level which has rarely, if at all, been surpassed
I agree with all except the underlined. There were a few Olympias where Ronnie DID match the Shadow as far as conditioning. AND Ronnie has a better shape.
Look at Lee Haney NOW and you'll get a pretty good idea of what Ronnie(granted his waist won't be as small) will look like years after he retires.
-
I seriously doubt that Haney is clean when that picture was taken. I've seen him look plenty smaller than in that picture.
The key to these athletes is that they can in 3 months get a great deal of it back. Arnold typically does that before his movies.
