Neither Heath or Kai are near to a class Ronnie.

That looks like a pre-insulin abuse physque. Pre-insulin abuse, the bodybuilder  displays more separation striations and tie-ins but less roundness to the muscle.

Still nuts the pic.

That's a real size "cut out" of Ronnie from the 2001 AC. It's when all of the AC winners except Nasser were on stage at the 2008 AC.

It's when he upped the dosages way up in 2003 was the beginning to the end for Ronnie

Huge size yes but he was starting to lose definition

Why does his left quad muscle insertion attach so far from the knee (it's noticeably different than his right quad insertion)? Did he tear his quad muscle by that point?

Is it me, or were Ronnies arms always underdeveloped and too small in comparison to his torso? He never was able to achieve the denisity and thickness of the greats like Phil, always looked like sad toothpicks in comparison :-\

That's Coleman in 2001. I don't think he upped the dose any more by 2003. He just didn't diet down far enough. He was 252 for that show. His best condition would have been around 255-260 in 2003 he just came in 283. If he had kept dieting down he would have looked the same. Dorian's weight only went up small amounts each year. Ronnie was like 248 in 1998 - best condition, 252 2001 NOC - close, 258 1999, 3rd best, then every weight is 265 or above and not at the same condition.

Im not one to argue much on this board but what the fuck!!!!!!!! Density ? are you kidding me, the only possible way in hell that phils arms are any bigger at any time is from pure water.!  I do like phils physique but there will never be another coleman anytime soon. That man is a legend and is in a class of his own. I mean come on bro , I had to read this twice to see if it was a joke.

Dorian's weight was 227 in 1990 (Night of Champions?), 239 in 1991, 242 in 1992, 256-257 in 1993, 260 in 1994, 260 in 1995, 257 in 1996 and 270 in 1997. The biggest leaps for Dorian were between 1990 and 1993. After that he pretty much either maintained or lost body parts along the way.

Ronnie and Dorian were at their best in the 250s.  Ronnie lower 250s Dorian upper 250s. Cutler and Kai were at their best in the 250s as well.  Jay in 09 and Kai in 2012.

I agree.  I remember when Flex and Ronnie looked very similar.  The way I told them apart back then was Ronnie has the alien abs and small calves.  Flex was perfect to me back then.

I agree, Dorian was on a upwards curve and kind of maxed out around 260. But at least he only tried once to be over that in 1997 (and by his accord fucked his condition by using Insulin that year not necessarily being too heavy). Ronnie just kept being heavier and heavier but he wasn't coming in muscle heavier he just wasn't getting as ripped as he was at 248-258.

Also Dorian in 1988 was 226. 1990 227-8 but he said he dried out a lot flying from England to America and had trouble sleeping or eating and kept drying out so he probably should have been around 232 or so. If you've seen pics from that NOC 1990 he was so goddamm fucking ripped he probably could have been around 238-240 if he wanted to be in the condition from 1993.

Dorian weighed 257 lbs in 1993 and 1995. It looks like anything above 260 lbs tends to start not looking as good as it should be.

Ronnie weighed 247 lbs in 1998 and 257 lbs in 1999. Just look at the 10 lbs of quality muscle Ronnie added from 1998 to 1999.

Ronnie was 252 for the night show in 98. while he was 260 in 1999 he lost the crispness he had in 98.

Dorian was 218 in 1988 when he won the British heavyweight class & overall
Getting his Pro card.

I weighed in after him - No I wasn't in the heavyweight class.
He had trunks, flip flops & a light zip up top on.
In the audience everyone was saying he was 225-235.

Clear winner iirc he didn't get called in the comparisons.
He was that good.
He appeared a little unsure left at the back, he was probably thinking
I'm either 1st or last. Ha.

Kind of hard to dispute someone who weighed in after him LOL.

He did say 226 in his book.

But we all know the contest scale weighs light  ;)
