Yates had the lower traps "sawtooth" detail that NOBODY else in pro bodybuilding history has ever had.  Lunacy.  Find someone else that can hit a goddamn rear lat spread and show that kind of detail along the thoracic spine.

Chris Cormier, Lee priest and Ronny rockel were undeserved Olympias better proportions even Al him albrecth the germain giant was better than Dorian him and Haney had spaghetti arms and quads political obviously . Melivin Anthony was another one who deserved a better placing even Dave Henry’s people are blind . Great underrated physiques.

I must have been (I went to any and all seminars and guest posings in and around the Boston area....  and I do remember Dorian guest posing at over 300 lbs .... My buddy had one of those old giant camcorder (looked like Channel 7 News lol!) and filmed it .... I'll ask if he still has it

Yeah...tacobender had a 4 post meltdown there.  Dorian had the greatest density of anyone ever.  Jay crushes Dorian on quads(especially left quad  ;D ) and has bigger(probably oiled) upper arms and a bit more pec thickness and that's about it.

I met Dorian in 1995, and I met Jay in 2006. Both guys were cool.


I felt that Dorian’s shoulders were wider than Jay’s. 


I say that only because one of Jay’s strong attributes is shoulder width. And I believe, based on my memory, Yates had the upper hand in that regard.

One more thing. That same day back in 1995, a guy had told me that he saw Dorian at the gym that same morning. He told me that Dorian did stiff legged deadlifts with 315 for about 20 reps.

No one including Ronnie at his best came close, his skin was like glad wrap, you wont find a person who has seen him in person in shape who doesn't feel similar, Ronnie stronger and freakier, but in no way better, bodybuilding peaked in 93 with his Olympia physique.

HaHa

Dorian was in the USA, and away from home.

He was guest posing that evening... so perhaps Yates abandoned his regular workout, and did something that was not normally a part of his training regimen.

I remember that I asked the guy who witnessed the workout: “Did Dorian go up in weight after doing 20 reps with 315?” The guy said “No”.

i often wonder if yates had just kept refining that version instead of trying to get bigger, if his reign would have been for a few more years.

That’s what made 2001 so amazing... Ronnie was healthy, and he was training heavy. Jay came out of of absolutely nowhere and beat Ronnie in the prejudging rounds.


And the following year in 2002; Gunter came out of absolutely nowhere and was a threat.


So before Ronnie regressed in 2006, he had some years where he was being pushed by the competition.

Ronnies body started breaking down/regressing already in 2004 as I recall. His lat injury started showing and quad started seperating from the knee at his left leg.I remember pointing this out but people said it was nonsense, then it just got worse and worse. I didn't think his body would fall apart this bad but I saw how it was breaking down..

No chance Dorian from the rear would make Jay from the rear look off season. Jay just don't have consistent conditioning all over his body, too much oil in his delts and arms, and a smooth back as a comparison to Dorian. Legs Jay was up there especially quads, glutes hamstrings again not even close and wi watched both win the Olympia from about the third row along with Ronnie, theres no comparison to Yates and the closer you got to the stage the more apparent that was, Dorian was shredded in the dark.
