Dorian Yates dominated the 90's in bodybuilding?

[Figo]

No, that would be Dickerson and Franco.

Yes

Dorians arms at his best were superior to either of those two at their best

And as franco aged, his bis became knottier, and dickerson tore one(or both?) bicep, and a tri  too, I think, coupled with the bursitis in the elbows, his arms were pretty shot by 1982

Mesmorph are you trolling or just a moron? 

Seriously, it is impossible to judge the outcome of a contest based on a picture or a collection of pictures. A photo only represents a second of what was a contest. Why do you think judging is done live? Watch the videos and you'll see how Dorian dominated everyone (probably except 97).
I think I can understand your logic though, you look at a comparison pic and think "wow this bodybuilder has more impressive bodyparts here and there, he wins!"...that is not how contests are judged. Three main things are judged: muscle size, conditioning and balance & proportion. Dorian was far ahead his competition in these criteria. And it is not only my opinion, but it is supported by fact..the fact that Dorian won with straight firsts.

And yes, Dorian dominated more than Ronnie did. At his best in 98, Ronnie won by 3 points in one of the closest contests ever...Dorian in 93 was so dominant that he wasn't even compared in one of the rounds.

@ Iceman,
Dorian won the symmetry rounds with perfect score (even when not having the best symmetry) because all rounds are physique rounds. This means all the criteria is judged in every round, size, conditioning, proportion, etc. Obviously Dorian met all the rest of the criteria better and since the lowest scores are tossed..it is clear to see why he got firsts.

1 when you address me if you are expecting a reply... dont get personal (1st line)
2 i dont think dorian... dominated anything... most of his wins were gifts the pictures i posted dont lie....
i do not gree  with the criteria where you can look like dogshit from the front and win because you have a good back
and no one should be allowed to win the mr olympia title with both arms torn THAT is not a full physique....
3. IMO dorian sucked apart from 93 92.... dorian is the branch of the 90's essEntally a conditoned FUX

Dorian dominated from the front, back & side in 1992, 1993, 1995. In 1996 (he only dominated from the back), but he sure as hell didn't dominate in 1994 and 1997.

How the hell did Dorian get a perfect score in the symmetry round at the 1994 Mr. Olympia looking like this? Someone explain this because Milos (who came 13th) is owning the shit out Dorian.

4th pic is the score card.

I was in Atlanta for the show in 1994 and Dorian had a 3rd place physique at BEST. Shit, Aaron Baker should have been 5th, maybe 4th over Dillett. Dorian came out for the prejudging bloated as hell, no seperation and bad color. Shawn Ray was the clear winner that year with Levrone 2nd

ive said this many times b4
Yates got gifts
he was the white man @ the right time so the powers that be gave him the O title
being buddies with Steve Weinberger and Manion helped his cause

his only possibly deserving victory was 93 and many think Flex shldve won that year

true winnersof the O
94 shawn ray
95 kevin or nasser
96 Nasser
97 Nasser

[the_swami]

lol @ people who can look at those pics and still say nasser had no back.  dude was robbed of at least one olympia, plain as day.

i'm white fyi

Nasser had a massive wide an dthick back
and in 96 it was also detailed
just a tad less dry than Yates so Yates had nasser in the BDB pose
but in RLS he was beating yates
