Post by: Danimal77 on August 02, 2014, 06:41:30 PM
Would he be competitive in today's crop of Mr. Olympia contestants?

If you were talking 93 or 95 I would have a way different answer.
Saying no one knew who he was his 1997 physique would be right
behind Ramy.
His left arm was gone and his waist was more bloated than 1994.
He was smart to get out on top.

Yates of 1993 would win. 1995 version too. The 1994 and 1997 versions looked like shit. Hope that helps. Comparing pics is not reality. Pound for pound, Kai is bigger than Yates. He is shorter and heavier. He has more muscle, enough said. However, Kai does not usually come in the condition that Yates was. If Yates came in as six time Mr. Olympia he would be gifted 1st or 2nd. However, if he were a random new guy who nobody had ever seen before, they would be astounded by his back, but that is it. His abdomen was bloated and a wide. His arms sucked. His thighs were conditioned, but not in Heaths league as far as aesthetics and striations. Heath would win easily.

As long as he only hit front and back lat spreads, he'd get a perfect score.

To this day I fail to understand how someone can win any bodybuilding contest with a deformed arm.

I'd say even in his 1997 version, Yates would wipe all of them... He was 270lbs with superior conditioning... Yes he had a distended gut (who hasn't today? And worse...), torn arm and leg, but the package would still be enough... Thick, dense, hard muscles, bigger than all of them, Heath would look like a narrow shrimp near him... I'm not even close to being a Yates fan, just to be clear...

YES.

You're an idiot. Nasser, Flex, Levrone, Shawn Ray, Cormier, Coleman, Priest, Dillett etc, ALL finished below Yates and you're saying none of them would crack the top 10 today? Kid, you were 5 years old when this all went down. By default, you should have no opinion.

Am I talking about top 10, was your question about top 10? lol. Who is an idiot now you old fuck? 8)
Kai and Phil are both better than 1997 levrone, nasser, ray, and others. Flex Wheeler did not compete in 1997.
