I don't know about pecs, but that second shot of the modified most muscular ;) is only about the third time I've seen that total blockout by the lats of the space in the crook of the arms.  The other two shots were Dorian, and Franco (who had short arms anyway making it easier?)

I'm not saying there weren't others, just that I remember these two

There isn't a picture of a front lat spread, its a most muscular variation.

Dillett looks terrible there. Didn't he win the show as well? That was the year before.

Everyone in that show was bloated as fuck.  Except for Dexter J and Priest.

Markus was still natural at this point. Didn't hit the sauce until his 02 NoC-prep.

I believe Ruhl was 282 and Dillet was 290 for that show. Orville Burke (RIP?) was 260.

Turns out Orville is doing okay.

There was a lot of hush hush when his situation happened, but looks like he actually did recover.

Is that Levrone in the background?

There's a drumkit in some pics, so he might have been playing with his band that day.

yup, tore his pec that year, had surgery, showed up here skinny and singing.  only a few months later he won the Arnold.  insane.

Didn't he also tear his pec in 1993 and make his comeback at the 1994 Arnold and win it?

Yeah... was there another injury? Maybe the back injury that caused his legs to go down starting around this time?

damn, i'm not sure.  I thought he did the singing in that outfit while he was recovering from pec surgery and was huge and ripped a couple months later. ???
