This pic was taken a few months before Yates beat Wheeler, Levrone, Dillett, Ray, Labrada, Clairmonte @ 1993 Mr O.
I know that we've all seen this pic before (Lincoln was shot). But seriously, Dorian was probably at least 285LB here, and he was leaner than 95% of any current getbig member.

When you think of hardcore bodybuilding dorian yates is the true definition just eat, sleep and trained balls to the walls in a underground basement gym locked away from the public eye then showed up in freaky condition to collect his sandow, if it was not for injuries he would have won 8 mr olympias.

true,,but 97 he was banged up bad,shame he could have won a few more,he needed the 96 grand prix look onstage to beat 98/99 coleman

Prime Dorian was unbeatable. Having brought more overall mass and granite conditioning than anyone ever before. Better than Arnold's prime. Drove Arnold out to make silly comments regarding Dorians personality that made Arnold come off as petty. Probably mad too that he spoke well of Mike Mentzer and his training protocols.

Still had really subpar biceps even at that time (pre-tear). Look at Mike Mentzer in that pic who is proud of his HIT protege in that pic. Tragic what happened to him and his brother in their late 40's. PIP boys.

IMO '97 Dorian had some very good points. It almost looked like his back improved in some shots. If not for the injuries, he would have improved on his '93 form for sure.

Yates did not over-diet in 97. Plus he had carbed up fully.
Unfortunately he had torn his tricep a few weeks before the show.

RIP Mike who's in the picture too..... :-X
-
from the back no one could beat dorian, his calves were pretty impressive and side tricep

The only way this thread could be more pointless and devoid of value is if Shizzo posted it.
Can we move on from the 90's nostalgia? This crap has been discussed literally hundreds of times on this board, and tens of thousands of other times on other boards.

True but that's because it is still more interesting than modern bbing

After realizing its true nature and being fans for so many years, how can you people still hold an interest in this pathetic hobby? How many threads decrying the greatness of Dorian Yates does there have to be to make the point that he had a great physique at the time?
-
yates just didnt have the greatest arm shape, yeah he had some guns but they never had that roundness and were never that pleasing to the eye, he did have a nice side tricep. The rest of yates was top notch.

Yup, the JODI thread is responsible for the difference in our post count, if not more...

Yes training balls to the wall, 50 min 4x a week smooth controlled reps ::)
You can see a dozen kids at any high school wrestling practice working harder.

Good point. I'm certain that Yates always wanted to be a gym teacher at the high school level.

Yates looked incredible in person! (Just this combination of size and Granite hardness nobody had)
-
he sure looks like mike m.
Doz did some training sessions with Mentzer during that period. The Weider Mags blew it up really. Mike couldn't teach Dorian shit anymore by that time.... :D
-
For those that say that Yates looked awful.....
.....I shall post a photo that proves it
Well done.
