some guys just have heavy skeletal structures that makes them heavier than they look,like u said even at 268 he has visible abs :o dorian is a true lifter, not one of those guys who says (ok i stopped competing now im gonna get fat or wimpy)he is a true student of the game

Like u said he's 52 and to top it off he's 5'10 not very tall to carry "only 268" weight. That's a lot of stress on the heart, and other internal organs no matter how u put it

If he keeps it up will not end well

That's a lot of weight but his face is fairly lean. Most guys at that weight would have that soft pudgy face.  Is he still running cycles?  That would be insane just to walk around but his body is his income.

Say that to a fella I know, 5'7 300lb, FAT. Has been like that for the last... 15years, 55 currently, drinks till a skin gets yellow, to hospital, a few days there, they bring him "back to life", a month sober, then rinse repeat - 10-15days driking, hospital... I'm sure he will die soon, but still.. it's a body of steel. And doctors are in fukkin awe, becuase his organs somehow manage to "spring back" from a point where they thought there's no way out many times already. Go figure...

Dorian was one of the few celebral warriors who really tapped into the whole mind-muscle connection and so that's probably still paying huge dividends for him.

This does not look anywhere near 270 and his wives legs are almost as big as his.

No they don't, it's a ticking time bomb to be that heavy at "5'10"

This. It is NOT natural to weigh that much being a midget at 5'10. On my biggest ever (cycle) I weighed around 250, and that's at a height of 6'3. It felt horrible and unhealthy. I probably could have kept pushing for 260-280 but there's just no reason. So some random nobody can call me 'big  ::)

Never thought Dorian to be the type. Why not just lean down to a healthy weight and cruise on HRT doses if he misses the needle that bad.

I remember meeting and speaking with Dorian at the Arnold in 10, while he was handing out his Yates Approved supplements, and my thought was he was 220 tops. It was obvious he still trained but he didn't have a "standout" feature or build.

By no means am I talking crap about Yates, he's an all time great, I just couldn't wrap my mind around how "normal" he looked. I'm assuming a combination of drugs, training and response all play a role in bodybuilding. I also had the same experience with Levorne around the same time,  I think he was transitioning into acting, but he was TINY, like 180 tops. He was signing at a booth, wearing a cutoff, and his arms looked real lean and defined, it seemed like he kept flexing his tri when he leaned across the table, but you could see that he was something different.

I ended up walking alongside him at one point and tried chatting him up as we made our way out (it was about something he posted on here) he shot me a look like I was a lunatic and sped off.

I guess I shouldn't have said my name was Earl1972.....

Dorian never looked overly big in clothing when he was ripped.

Some of you guys need to get ripped, see how you look in clothes then see what you weigh. Once you drop all that fat and water you look huge underneath and not that big in a shirt and can still carry a lot of weight.

Again I wasn't speaking poorly of Dorian, nor was I saying he looked like crap, however in my mind I thought he would still "stand out" even while not being competitive.  He wasn't extremely wide or thick, he just looked like a dude who lifted. He may have been super lean I have no idea, he had on a nike drifit polo and I just thought it was odd that his arms didn't stretch  the sleeves.



Actually I remember thinking that his traps/upper back looked really different.

He competed at 250+  I'm sure he looked plenty big in his clothes.

i agree 100%,when i looked my biggest stripped down i looked my smallest in clothes,when i looked my biggest in clothes i looked sloppy stripped down. it would b the same story always,people would see me in clothes and be like yo g you look alittle small,have u been lifting?then they see me stripped down and say,wow dude u look huge ::) it takes a trained eye to know what to look for

I competed at 193. I show people those pics and they are shocked, like is that photoshopped. I weigh 198-200 now and same amount of muscle if not much better quality. But 5'8' and 200 lean as and people can't see it unless they know. I've had bouncers at hotels say damm you're a big guy i've some people not even see it because they have no idea. I could put on 10-5 pounds of shit and walk around looking massive in clothes but fuck that. I see bloated guys walking around in tight tops and i just think big deal you need to drop 30 pounds to get ripped.

The only way Dorian is weighing 268 is if he's holding a 45 pound plate. Amazing how insecure he has to be to still want to weigh anything over 210 at his age and height...Isn't Kamali telling people every other week how much he weighs? Weird.
