Yeah, from the front Fux wasn't competitive because of his giant gut. Oh, wait a second... :-\

Fux was really underrated in terms of placing. Considering that Yates was a multiple Mr. Olympia, Fux was really not far behind.

Reminds me of Cutler vs Ruhl (in terms of physical development vs actual placings)

He wasn't gifted with the best waistline & arms, but the combination of his legs, back, chest and esp conditioning made him on of the best Mr O's ever in my book.

what made his look from back to waist to  long legs was narrow hips,,

Post by: YngiweRhoads on December 23, 2015, 12:33:20 PM
Fux's gut was huge, standing out even among other huge guts. Held him back even though he was a great bb'er.

Yeah, but only during a double bicep or lat spread. He had some presentation flaws when he stood relaxed..

Agree.

He also had crazy density and that 3D look from the side when seen live that was insane - I've only seen one pic that really captures it - ND's posted it - it's a MM from the side.

Fux didn't flow as well from the front.

Google certainly agrees. That one Fux back pic is constantly passed off as a Dorian pic.
Title: Re: FUX vs DORIAN ?
Post by: Nether Animal on December 23, 2015, 06:42:41 PM
2003 NOC, not bad all things considered, but he didn't place.

Ironically, he didn't place at the 2001 NOC either, pre-injury. Fux's time was already over, most likely.

That's a sick pic though, I think I've posted that before. Wish it was bigger.

EDIT: I think this is another 2003 NOC pic. Legs are down but not horrible.

'96 ASC. Fux, at least for his overall standard, is pretty tight and gut isn't horrendous.

Looks nuts in some shots.

He caused quite a buzz at that show.  Mass monsters weren't the norm back then. I also remember it was like a Euro invasion that show, with Fux, Gunter, and Roland making their deputs in a top tier shown. Think Shawn Ray got 5th, how's that for lineup depth

Did Fux ever recover fully from that FLEX magazine shoot where he collapsed while holding the weight and fucked up his back big time??

There is something about Gunter's look here.... he looks better than Fux. Fux might be thicker; but Gunter looks like his muscle is denser

Fux was a Mass-Monster.....Dorian was a Monster too, but Dorians was much drier onstage. I saw him several times live onstage, and it was the Conditioning, the hardness that make him look outstanding near guys with the same mass. (met Dorian 3 weeks ago, and could talk with my Idol from the 90īs for some minutes).

God almighty. That really puts it into perspective how big he was. I remember a quote from him in FLEX about how after a year of training he erupted overnight and said "you should be covered in bowling balls" after training for a year.

Unfortunately that pretty much sums his look up, a big pile of bowling balls.

Dorian was harder/grainier. Fux had more of the modern day soft look to him.
