Title: Nasser El Sonbaty - What was his best year?
Post by: Nether Animal on October 26, 2016, 11:39:49 AM
Honestly I'm really not a huge fan of super bulked up mass monster Nasser. I liked his earlier look around like '94 or so, way more aesthetic and since his back sucked at any weight, the extra size didn't do him a whole lot of good. Plus the oil abuse..

When was the year he started to go heavy on the Insulin? 96? 97?

U can clearly see this is a Pre-Insulin physique (lacks the thickness and density, but super-tight waist)

Great find, thx for illustrating that. That's a perfect comparison of pre- vs post-Insulin abuse. Wish Gh15 was still here to enlighten us a lil more in depth regarding what processes the Insulin activates in the human body to have such a dramatic influence on the overall appereance.

Beat me to it - this is one of my favourite shots of Nasser for several reasons, not least that he's not doing the 'arms-akimbo' semi-relaxed stance.  Sweet...

1999 was Nasser's biggest win: the ASC. But he was past his prime at that point. He did beat Cormier, Levrone, and Cutler.

From the back , he lacked.

Palumboism was already setting in, in 1999. The waist was expanding (organs were growing), while the muscles were atrophying. From 1994-1998 he was one of the best.

He looked great here in 1997 (clearly crushing Dorian), but his biceps looked very suspect. I'm positive he had oil in them at that point.

You are correct sir. You can see the oil was already filling up his biceps at that time, but he was still in insane shape in 1998 although we was smoothing out by then a bit. The drop really started in 1999 (Even though he won the Arnold). The drop was quick after that as can be seen by the pics I posted.

Great photo... ripped and very well proportioned. Anywhere from '97-'99 was probably his best years. As Arnold said at an ASC, Nasser from the front is unbeatable. From the back, it's much closer, especially competing with Flex Wheeler.

In 1997, his physique was better than Yates.

He won that Olympia.

Shawn Ray won 1994 and was robbed as well.

To me, Yates won four, not six Sandows.
Title: Re: Nasser El Sonbaty - What was his best year?
Post by: bigbobs on November 10, 2016, 09:20:30 PM
94 was probably his best year from a classic physique perspective.  95-01 from a bodybuilding perspective, best single year IMO was 96. 

he had a bicep tear very close before the 98 Olympia.

His divorce also affected his contest prep.

thanks for posting, there are a few pics here I hadn't seen before.

definitely had the same width/thickness from the rear, he tended to "crunch" or "shrug" inward when hitting the front and rear lat spread poses.
