Yes Yates was smaller, but so much more impressive looking than Coleman

[suckmymuscle]

dorian's back was harder but was so thin.

ronnie's back had it all: detail, better symmetry, thickness

dorian's back was one dimensional in comparison

detailed and hard, but thin and not nearly as wide

  Actually, Dorian's back looks 10 X more impressive in this comparison you posted. Harder, more defined, thicker mid back, lower lats, etc. Just overall superior...

Is that meant to be impressive? His posing sucks and I used to see more impressive looking amateurs competing at the EFBB British Championships in the early 90s.

Dorian Yates showing how impressive an amateur can look with proper training, preparation and posing.

Dorian beat Gary Taylor here. Gary went on to win the worlds strongest man.

  Ronnie had a thicker back than Dorian in 2003. In his 1999 form? No.

  What happens is that Dorian's lats attach lower, so the fibers bundle up together less when doing a back double biceps compared to Ronnie's since the muscle fibers of his lats all move into a smaller area thus bundling up more giving a greater illusion of thickness.

The irony of his quote, is that all those "comments" about Dorians back appearing thin compared to Ronnie are from Hulkster.
Although he doesnt mention that. Hes the only fucking idiot in that thread saying that shit.
But no one ever said Hulkster lets little things like "reality" getting in the way of his statements, I think he truely believes that he remembers things differently than they happened.
I really think he believes a bunch of people were saying Ronnies back was thicker when he was the only one. Just like he kept telling us that EVERYONE was saying that Dorians calves were too big for his legs, but in reality it was just him.
And the list goes on.

bwahahaha what total bullshit!

what happens is that ronnie's back is a lot thicker even at the same bodyweight and you can't deal with it so you make up hilariously far fetched bullshit excuses to mask it.

this is actually what happens.

after I stopped laughing so hard, I actually cannot believe you posted this and expected anyone to believe it.

its not about muscle fibers bundling up together less, its about having thinner, not as well developed back muscles.


muscle contractions and mysosin and actin filaments have nothing to do with the less developed back (number 2 ever) that dorian displays.

this is almost as good as your infamous photoelectric effect post from the truce thread hahahahaha

  Ronnie's lats attach higher than Dorian's, thus the muscle fibers of his back muscles bundle up together more than Dorian's when performing a back double biceps because they have a smaller area to move into, thus giving an illusion of greater thickness. It doesen't mean that Ronnie's back was actually thicker than Dorian's.

IMO, Dorian looks like god blessed him with granite for muscles. Unbelievable. Ronnie is the thickest human being to walk the planet ever. His muscle bellies were round and thick like no other. However, from the back double bi's I like Yates hardness, Ronnie's thickness, Yate's calves, and Ronnie's arms. Put them together and you have one bad MOFO. PS...I think Sucky's rationale is reasonable. Ronnie has slightly higher lat inserts and probably a little more muscle...he gains in the back and arms what he lacks in the calves. In the BDB, it could give the illusion of increased thickness. However, come on Hulkster, Dorian ain't flat...now way or how. Opinions are like assholes, we all have one (I hope). However, give credit where credit is due. Haney, then Yates and then Ronnie led the way to huge backs.

bingo

However, come on Hulkster, Dorian ain't flat...now way or how

oh, I know he's not flat, he has the second greatest back ever.

but Ronnie had that extra thickness that took it to the next level

you are correct, Samir started it all (Mr. O's with amazing backs)

Haney took it from there

Yates topped even Haney's back

and Ronnie surpassed them all

then Jay, Dex and Heath dropped it down 5 levels

almost as good as you posting fake screenshots from 99 olympia to make ronnie look ten times darker than usual, and hence, more conditioned than ever.
