Title: 1993 Dorian pic. Really that impressive?
Post by: Danimal77 on September 14, 2016, 09:53:44 PM
I know you can pick out dozens more pics of Dorian destroying it in 1993, but I'm focusing on just this pic (front double biceps shot) and it really doesn't look all that impressive. His biceps were subpar (and this is PRE-tear). His chest wasn't that great. His abs/midsection was thick and wide. His thighs were pretty bad. Just not seeing it. Anyone else agree?

Yes, as it does not look like a torn Bicep yet. That happened post 1993! Also the hair, is consistent!

I think his mullet, was 92, leading up to 93.

If just going by that one pic you posted and I didn't
know who he was or what he looked like otherwise;
I wouldn't be that impressed. (However)...
Some random DB shots from 1993.
He was big/wide in structure.
Every bodypart developed and harder
than anyone else in 93.
Not his best pose but still a great one.
His legs looked bigger/fuller in prejudging
as I've noticed when he gets over dry (for him) he starts
to lose leg fullness/size.

here's an idea

maybe judging bodybuilding by pictures isnt doing it justice? just a thought.

Dorian's giant potato head is the only thing wrong in some of those pics

Front double biceps wasn't Dorian's strongest pose, but it was good (pre-tear), but below average (post-tear).

Dorian wore the death face consistently, today's triple chinned pro's just cant get suck it up and come in lean.

Surely it's a criteria for competitive bodybuilding?

In person he was gigantic.  Pics sometimes dont do a person justice.

Which year did you see him?
He has always had a pretty robust look to him - even now.

Like I said, you could and most people on here will provide dozens of other pics to prove how amazing he was, but if you really dissect his individual bodyparts (even at his all-time best in 1993), they don't seem to stand well on their own, but only as a whole.
