Obviously incorrect; no way those bis overpower anything.

Chest is fine-it's most of the rest of him that was the problem.

no, its just that ronnie is the natural comparison to make.

All of these Yates shots show him ALONE, rarely in comparison with others.

Posting a pic with which to COMPARE dorian's chest to is the only way to assertain whether or not it is good.

I could have just as easily posted a pic of Arnold or haney, but I like Ronnie better 8)

Dorian didn't have the swollen, round muscle bellies...muscles that look like air is pumped into them.  he had Dense..super dense, granite hard muscularity with an unmatched bear like thickness.  From the side guys would dissappear next to Dorian.  It's the overall impressive look that Dorian had that made him unbelievable.  If you thought you were in shape and condition for the show once you stood next to Dorian you realized he brought it to another level for that size.  many black BB's have that swollen air like roundness, but lack the true density and granit look that Dorian had.  Ronnie doesn't, however.

ND- you should know that the photo you used, was taken directly after a chest workout of Dorian's, making him fully pumped....the other photo you posted is legit, but it's one of his better shots in that pose. Overall, he did have a weakspot in his chest area.

I know that was after a chest work out thats exactly why I posted , none of these are after a chest work out and they hold up quite well .

It looks like Yates' flexing his pec in some of the poses.

Perhaps Arvilla could elaborate on the difference flexing vs not flexing the pec in the side chest, as I saw him discussing that in his 'Road to Compete thread'?

Yates chest is not bad. It his thick mid section that makes his chest look smaller.  Saying Yates chest is crappy is the same as saying Levrone doesnt stuff his pants.

I love how the haters come out of the woodwork AFTER he's done competing. Back when NOBODY could touch him. Oh wait, I almost forgot, most of you didn't even know about bodybuilding when Dorian was competing. My bad.

Post by: Ex Coelis on July 14, 2006, 01:21:37 PM
like Hedgehog said, Dorian never really hit the pose properly - or at least not enough to best display his advantage

he threw his elbow too far back instead of pulling his arms up underneath his rig cage. He also needed to twist his torso more. The pose looks better if you don't hold it exactly perpendicular to the audience.

does it really matter?  he beat them all (including coleman who was never even close to dorian when they both competed).

yates chest was underrated.  not the best of chests but damn good.  full, hard, and ripped.

yes it does.

That is the very essence of bodybuilding competition:

you can only assess how good someone is if you comare him to others.

Anyone can look good standing alone.

true, anyone can look good standing alone.  but that fact that yates won 6 consecutvie mr. o's and completely dominated everyone, what would be the point of showing pics.  but it would still be nice to see some pics.  i have some from mags, but no scanner.

I love Dorian too, but there's no way he "completely dominated" NAsser in 96 or 97. NO WAY. NAsser beat him from the front.

Nasser was incredible in 97 - Dorian was torn and bloated  :-\

Im not a pro but as far as i know bout bb'ing... it doesnt matter if a bb'er is at a relaxed mode, they can have the suckiest body part, but as long as they can strike the pose and hit it... the judge will see that it's symmetrical and qualifies for points then ALL IS FAIR GAME!!

nasser in 96 doesnt count bc he was d'qued. 

as far as 97, i have the video of it and it is quite apparent that yates won.  it looks closer between nasser and dorian in pics, but on video, it's much different.

Its funny you should say that becuase I too have the video. Looking at the pcitures I thought Dorian dominated but after watching the contest I was far less convinced. Dorian's arm was fucked - both bicep and tricep were torn. He was bloated. NAsser on the other hand was flawless. Dorian's back was obviously better, but that was it. Sonbaty was bigger than Yates too.

Actually Nasser wasn't bigger than Dorian they both weighed 270lbs and Dorian looked bigger in some shots too and Nasser did have him from the front but Dorian had him from the side & back which is why I guess they picked him , and whats ironic is no one knew his tricep was torn , unlike the bicep which everyone knew about before hand .

i was more convinced after seeing the video.  dorian really blew nasser away during the quarter turns and other poses when the camera zoomed in.  yates was thicker, harder, and had more detail.  no one knew his tricep was torn, and no one can still tell. 

nasser looked great,  but it just wasnt enough to beat yates.  i also have the 98 arnold video, and nasser looked amazing.  best i've ever seen him.

I know he didn't tell anyone until after the contest, but if you look at his arm, the tricep doesnt look right

his arm looked like one of those underdeveloped gimp arms
