Hedgehog had it right. Pro BB's today have gone off the deep end with their distended abs and widened waists. So post pics of the BB's before it happened to them. I'll get it started...

Mr O. Certianly gotten a tad bigger.
But i wouldnt say he looks bad now, just bigger.

That thread has nothing to do with this one. It shows a lot of bodybuilders when they were younger but almost none of them ever developed distended abs/widened waists.

Dexter Jackson
That taper is simply unbelievable...maybe even better than Haney's :o.....I actually think Dexter's physique has REGRESSED from when he was an amateur...same with most pros :-X

Dexter Jackson
WOW. That's insane. Like Buchanan.

Yes, but which is worse: that he ruined that amazing physique or that he keeps winning with a sub-par one?

LOL monster delusions! :o :o :o :o
Ronnie's physique is "sub-par"? That's even crazier than my boy Deshawn Grimez not winning the USA's

Zack,
Would you say you're a big Deshaun fan?

Hey -how can you NOT love a guy who's so friendly looking?
He's the kinda guy I'd want for neighbor. You know, BBQ's and stuff, sittin' on a porch talkin 'bout the latest college football game and shit.
Deshaun looks to be that kind of guy.
Picket Fences.
Yep. Big fan.
When I was a kid, I was a Cosby guy. Biggest show in Sweden. And Theo was all over the place.

Ronnie's physique is "sub-par"?
Yes.
Are many of his muscles independently amazing?
Definitely.
Is his physique TODAY (i.e. 2005 Mr. O) amazing?
No.
His proportions are off (undersized calves, widened waist, grossly distended abs, ruined triceps). His v-taper is ruined. He's just not what he used to be.
Was he amazing in 1998? Sure. Is he now? No.

Great points mang.
Did a photoshop on his waist, these days he's built like a barrel from the chest and down to his thighs:

Check out this comparison. Look at the difference in his waist (which I've read many times is not visible in his back poses). That's a HUGE and horrible difference between Ronnie '98 and '05.
EDIT: For some reason the first pic shows up down-sized by getbig. Just drag the pic to the "internet" pic at the bottom of IE and it'll open at fullsize.

Check out the brutal epic phantasmic entities haunting DeShauns crib...
I could have swore I had a pair of drawers like that hanging on the clothes pin in my backyard...now I think of it I am missing mine. I wonder...

winning with a sub par phyisque is fair and justified if your competition is also sub-par...relative to 1998/1999

I agree with all of the points on this thread concerning ronnie's current physque.
Problem is, all these new flaws don't matter much relative to his competition if he is still good enough to win.
In 1998/9 he faced:
Flex Wheeler
Kevin Levrone
Shawn Ray
Chris Cormier
Nasser El Sombaty
In 2004/5 he faced:
Jay Cutler
Markus Ruhl
Dexter Jackson
Gunter Schlierkamp
Gastavo Badell
Not taking anything away from today's pro's, but there is a huge difference between these lineups.

Thing is, he won over Levrone when he looked like crap.
You make a great point though.
And Coleman at his all time best, 96-99, is what should be considered when remembering him IMO.
His obliques were bulging at the ASC.
And IMO, Ronnie had the potential for competing for the Sandow from 95 and on, but didn't get the conditioning right.
Still, all that heavy training and heavy slin and GH usage have done him in.
Cutler definitely isn't the answer anymore though. He's got as big gut now.

That's the biggest shame. And the funny thing is, all these people who have been crying for Cutler to win because Ronnie has a gut, somehow seem to be ignoring Jay's gut.
-
Bottom line is, Ronnie is leaps and bounds ahead of this current crop of pros genetically speaking. Back in the 90s, he did not have a genetic advantage over guys like Flex and Kevin, only a work ethic advantage.
-

I always make great points! :)

not that yates ever went off the deep end but....

Quite possibly the best of Yates I've seen.
Had he not turned himself into a chem lab, he could've had a great physique beyond Horton's 1993 pics.

King had some good potential before he went off the deep end too!!!

Here's Cutler. Man, look at that waist!!

And the amazing thing? He's really not that much more muscular today than in that pic.

Damn man you saved those? I actually delete all the shoped pics of you. No need to shop a drag queen with downs syndrome who thinks she is a bodybuilder.
-
colostamy you are bald wannabe.
-
no i didn't save them! your ugly face isn't worth the hard drive space...it's called pasted from another thread :P
-
Collossus your a tool, go to the kitchen and start eating...dont stop till the year 2018, maybe you might grow by then ...
-

The point is his obliques aren't huge and hanging over his suit. Today, they are and do. Yet, despite that gain in waist size/width, he hasn't gotten that much more muscular. Sorry if that was too complex a thought process for you. ::)

You are too easily impressed. Get off the Jay nuthugin wagon and realize that he is just a regular bodybuilder.

OH my god!!! Alexxx for your own sake leave this thread and never return.....I hate to say it but you've been....owned.

;D i can hear U2's "Beautiful Day" ringing in my ears! hahaah ;D

Only fags think that I been owned when in fact the want to be getting owned themselves. Really sad and pathetic.

Here's a comparison of the two Ronnies.
Notice the HUGE waist difference (in the center of the pic) but very little lat-width difference (Ronnie on the right, the black and white strip is the old Ronnie). I'd say the v-taper of old Ronnie blows new Ronnie out of the water.

this doesn't interest anyone in the "Hulkster...truce" thread? :D

what's the point?
hulkster, pumpster, etc, will just ignore any evidence like that.
