"Here's a Throwback to the BEGINNING of Ronnie's Reign as Mr. Olympia. These pics were taken 4 weeks out of the '98 Mr. Olympia. Here's a little backstory on them - I went to pick these up from the post office, yes this was before the "digital" age LOL! I stopped by there on my way to the airport to pick up Thomas N. Prince and Dennis Newman who were guest posing for me that weekend. I showed them the pics - Tom's reaction was "Nobody is going to beat him!" Dennis' reaction was "That's a whole nother level of insanity" - the next words out of Tom's mouth were "Does Flex know what he looks like?!"
1998 was built up to be the battle of Flex and Nasser and Ronnie came in and messed everyone's plans up for the next 8 years!"
This is just insane. Ronnie is on another level.
-
Set 2
-
Few more
-
The first one is insane, look at that waist to back ratio.
-
Better than Dorian
Meltdown in 1....2.....3......4
......
-
He really fucked himself when he blew is waist out. The first and second pics is awesome.
-
thats when Ronnie looked his absolute best for me, Dennis Newman's description is spot on!
just another level of insanity, imo that's the pinnacle you can take human muscularity while still looking aesthetic and balanced.
-
Freak of nature.
-
In before ND. ::)
-
FAP FAP
-
That's the best physique that's ever walked this earth right there. By quite a bit too.
-
How many times in competition did Ronnie Beat Dorian.
Oh Let Me Guess..... None.?
And How Many Times Did Dorian win..... :)
Get Ready For the Abuse...
Ha.
-

YOU FAPPED TOO?
-
That side chest is unbeatable.
-
A prime Ronnie beats a Prime Dorian.
No one can touch that!!
-
Overrated - should never have been Mr. Olympia. Or maybe it's just cause we're used to a different standard now.

He looks awesome , he should have never added more size , he was outstanding at around that weight.

I can't believe we're actually having this conversation of Ronnie vs. Phil. ND hate for Ronnie goes so far as to dragging Phil into it. You wasted years of your time on this crap and you haven't convinced a single soul to change their mind. As time goes on and Ronnie's and Lee's records continue to stand Ronnie has 8 and Dorian has 6. I truly believe you have to be mentally ill to carry on like this some form of OCD. Gentlemen, please don't encourage him.

At the end of the day, a prime Ronnie beats a prime Dorian. Sure, Dorian was a great bodybuilder, but Ronnie was the best of all time. Hands down.
I suspect ND just likes to troll people. Deep down he knows no other bodybuilder has surpassed a prime Ronnie Coleman.

LMAO meltdown and It's funny you said " In before ND " but you're the one who brought Dorian into this NOT me ;) in fact the last time in the Shawn Ray thread YOU brought Dorian into it , YOU not me ;) I let go of this nonsense years ago it's the crybaby Ronnie fans always trying so hard to prove he really , really was better.
I don't start this nonsense. I finish it ;)
And where did I ever say Phil was better than Ronnie? ??? I never once claimed that. In fact I always said Ronnie would mop the floor with him.
Wiggs I think you're cracking bro

Ronnie the best bodybuilder of all time .
those pictures are simply unbeatable
WoooSSSHHHHHHHHH
-
Phil compares well in certain poses but Ronnie is clearly better. Ronnie's structure is superior.
-
looks amazing as usual for that time period. 98/99 Ronnie and even 2001 AC (gut not withstanding) are unbeatable by anyone onstage.
any more shots from this shoot? front biceps shots?

Calves are part of a human body... Ronnie Coleman deserved zero Olympia's... ZERO calves ZERO wins.

That's not even close Neo. Ronnie is killing him in that pose.

how is Ronnie killing Dorian? I'm not saying Dorian wins that comparison but it's very close. Dorian is more muscular and has better balance. Ronnie's delts overpower his pecs and his upper arm makes his forearm look like a toothpick

Calves don't play a huge role in structure or competition. Maybe if everything else is even yes. But Ronnie won everything else by a long way.

Do you not think it's just because Ronnie has his shoulder dropped and forward more? Shoulder position makes a massive difference on the balance of that pose.
If Ronnie pulled his shoulder up and back he'd look completely different. My money is on Ronald here.

"Thick" Nick is not the sharpest tool in the shed. Ronnie did not have the best calves, but to say he had ZERO calves is idiotic.
One can say the the same thing about Dorians arms, Phil Heaths narrow structure and small chest, etc.

let me get this right.. so you are judging that comparison based on what you think Ronnie would look like instead of how he actually looks? If the best bodybuilder in the world came on stage with no tan, no oil and pushing out his stomach, should the judges still give him first place based on how he would look?

Nope. I still prefer Ronald in a direct comparison.
What I said about posture was aimed at what you believe to be imbalances.

That picture is heavily sharpened and he had NO calves at all. Second & Third pictures are from the same contest :-\

The black man curse, no calves on a huge upper body.

Actually, Yates side chest was right there. Ronnie's delta pop more, but otherwise it's a toss up. Yates chest looks thicker to me. Two greatest ever; today's elite are nowhere near these two.

Ronnie's chest to me looks thicker---
But if you look at the pics, the pose is done differently by Ronnie, ever so slightly. His elbow is pointed outward, and not held close to his side, and he angled slightly downward, whereas Dorian is more straight up.
-
Ronnie's pecs are much better-thicker upper chest and more details in the lower pecs.

Right, Dorian is doing it classic style pulling his chest back and spreading it, whereas Ronnie is keeping his chest closed, almost like a side mm. Look at the opposite pec....Dorian's looks thicker and more striated. We're splitting hairs though...to say "it's not even close" is just plain ignorant.
-
I truly don't understand the whole Ronnie vs Dorian debate. It's entirely subjective. Everyone thinks whoever better suits their taste is better.
No argument on the Internet is going to change somebodies taste in men (no homo).

who cares? Ronnie may have looked bad in certain Mr. O's, but in that picture next to Ramy, Phil looks horrible. Either way, a prime ronnie destroys a prime phil. all in all, ronnie destroys phil

Aaron Baker and Sergio Oliva had some great calves as well. Although some may say that Baker injected stuff.

Ronnie, Dorian, Dorian, Ronnie, Ronnie, Dorian, Dorian, Ronnie, Ronnie, Dorian........
Ronnie is the best.
No he's not, he lost to Dorian, so Dorian is the best.
That Ronnie doesn't compare to the Mr. Olympia Ronnie, his muscles are better than any pre 98 Ronnie so those victories are flawed. Better Coleman beats best Yates.
Hahaha Ronnie has no calves and a gut. Win Dorian.
LOL Dorian has a torn bicep and his conditioning sucked at the end of his run. Ronnie for the victory.
No way dude Dorian was super grainy. His muscles are better than Ronnies muscles.
What? Ronnie was so grainy with conditioning and was sooooo strong his muscles are better.
No Dorian has better muscles.
Sorry but it's obvious Ronnie has better muscles.
Yeah right Dorian looks better now.
Haha Coleman looks great for double hip replacement, a spinal tap and 48 kids, Yates looks like white trash.
Haha whatever queer Yates is better and Yates Approved is more scientifically advanced than Ronnie Coleman Elite.
I'd like to see the financial statements to back that up, RCE is the number one supplement brand in all of Europe, he's beating Yates in sales on his own turf. Team Coleman is better, you're gay.
Phil Heath sucks.
I think this sums up this thread.
-

He had calves. They just weren't good calves. Dennis Wolf is a prime example of someone with absolutely no calf development due to injury or something.
Is this sharpened up too? :-\ :-\

All your posts are just "screaming," and cursing and getting REALLY angry. GRRRR. You're a clown.

That is just the angle in the photo. Ronnie had far better pecs than Dorian- lower insertions on the rib-cage and hence much larger pecs.
