A pic of Dorian and Chris Oskys from the 86 finals,this was the first year it was held in London,it used to be held in Nottingham at the concert hall,and Chris was from London,and one of the judges was an editor of a London based mag that Chris had a column in,so you work it out.

It makes me laugh when people say Dorian was "blue collar" and didn't have the genetics of the other guys.  Dorian had some of the best bodybuilding genetics ever.

excellent hair

He got the haircut of my grandmother and heŽs ugly as hell. But in his prime heŽd blow away that lump of cheese Cutler.

How do you think he would have done at the 1988 Mr. O if he had qualified Pro in this contest as he should have? He might have got Haney at some point in 89 or 90 if he had the chance because in 91 Haney was on and definitely won.

From Blood & Guts he said his On Stage weights were
210 in 85
214 in 86 (said he ate too much junk through the year and made him diet longer and lose more mass)
226 in 88
228 in 90 NOC (fucking ripped)
235? in 91NOC
238 in 91 Mr.O
242 in 92 Mr.O

Well that pic is from 86,and the previous year he was beaten by Berry Demay in the world games and Berry placed 6th in the 87 Olympia,but given Dorians improvement from 85-86,he would have placed around the 6-7th place.He took a year off for surgery and thats why he missed the 87 British,but if he would have been in the 88 Olympia maybe 4-5th.

[no one]

Anyone who says Yates had crap genetics is a total idiot

LOL

this ^

you could see he had 'it' for conditioning even back then.

[jwb]

Losing made him get to the next level he would have been creamed against Haney in 1987.

[Ex Coelis]

awesome conditioning and seperation

[crownshep]

Dorian in 88.

[The Grim Lifter]

And only 2 years later

Jesus i only just watched that.

1988 Mr.O he would have been right up there for sure. Strydom was only 225 and wasn't complete with a shit back and he came 5th i could definately see Dorian beating him.

I have Dorian 2nd to Haney in 1988
