Title: Was Yates better in 1993 or 1995?

Missing biceps aside, the overall package he brought to the stage, which physique was better pound for pound? I want an analysis.

As you say, disregarding the biceps... I like '95. Great conditinoing

Doesn't matter how many times I see pics of Dorian, I can never get over his comparatively shorter chest (vertical direction) and rather differently structured traps.

I'm sure that I'll draw quite a bit of heat from some for such sacrilegious heathen words, but there is no doubt in my mind that aesthetically speaking, Dorian loses every comparison currently posted.

Ronnie at least had a very passable structure to him.

Yeah, sure.. thick back, grainy, whatever.  Smaller chest (vertically - and I must reiterate that every time or some knut will take me out of context), the worst looking biceps of the three and very flat (but quite a bit wider) traps.

Dorian was off bigtime in '94, so '95 was a nice comeback/rebound for him.

Some will tell you otherwise, but I agree with you.

93 he peaked waist was never as tight again, insulin and growth started to impact his midsection and the flow of 93 was never seen again. best combination of overall size shape and symmetry we've seen but he never repeated it. Wheeler 93 ironman probably the second best ever. With Laverne 92 being a distant third. To me Ronnie never came close as his physique whilst no doubt the most muscular never displayed the balance and structure of those guys, he had them in mass but never for overall balance and structure.

1995

From the side and back he looked great, but his left quad and bicep was atrocious from the front.

He wasn't impressive in the front at all imo. Horrible quads, worst arms since Franco Columbo, sort of soft looking and wide in the midsection..

1995
