Whose back was better, Ronnie or Dorians? Ronnie looks to be taken it in these shots.

Top pic -- Ronnie edges it
Middle & Bottom Pic's -- Dorian

Though there is very little to choose between them.
Better angle or better lighting could edge it to either of them.

i can't believe that i'm saying this, but his waist was too small

this dude here had some great aesthetics, but i remember reading that he actually trained his waist to thicken it up a tad as he thought that it was to small  ???

just found the quote from Baldwin and here it is....

RB: I wasn't concerned so much about actual measurements, but as I made progress, I kept measuring my arms until they reached the 19-inch mark. After that, I worked on shape and used the mirror to chart my progress. My waist looked too small at 29 inches, so I used weighted exercises until the muscle expanded to at least 30. The same goes for my thighs. I worked them until they were a muscular 26. My chest was 48, I believe, and calves around 17.

fyi, his arms were not 19 inches, AJ measured them at 17 and 1/4 or so, still some out-fucking-standing arms anyways  8)

King Haney is better than them both. There's alot useless mass between Coleman and Yates.

That is a sick shot. Personally I would take Buchanan's physique over Haney's.

If he only had legs and way better conditioning...

His quads looked decent size, calves just a bit small and high.

Both are equally as good, Dorian has more depth his individual back muscles, Ronnie has a bit more back in general

His waist is too small.

Looks out of proportion, and it makes him look physically weak.

Doesn't look too small here... prolly thickened up a bit as he got older.

He would also to do a vacuum to accentuate the naturally small waist, therefore given the illusion of it being smaller

No way in hell does Baldwin who competed under 190lbs was 19". An 18 muscular arm is sick. In that picture above he's lucky if he weighted over 173lb. Having said this his physique was top shelf.

Buchanan actually looks a bit weird with that small of a waist.  A small waist is good only to a certain point in my opinion.  Steve Davis is a good example of a small waist that flows with the rest of the body.

Actually, that ain't a small waist. He's shot from an angle. Any shots from straight on?
