New incredible Dorian Yates picture from the past

[local hero]

Gary Shelmerdine in the background there.
Him and Dorian were in the same show (First Timers at Morecambe)
Both ended up being Pros sharing a stage again in 1991.

i never knew shelmerdine turned pro, any idea how he faired ?

He only did a couple of shows I think, maybe only the one.(British Grand prix 91)
He had a fantastic balanced physique, just didn't have that extra thats needed to be competitive as a pro.
His son competes now, he did a physique class (board shorts) and got placed down for being too muscular.
He has a superb physique and i think he would ruin it by stepping into bodybuilding.

From what I can recall l remember his waist being wide and this was prior to rewarding the gut look,so it hurt his appearance back then as it should now, great conditioning just not big enough and to wide in the waist

I agree on the 'flow'but on just sheer mass and fullness ,vascularity ,its a sick pic,i think yates owned this pose.

sure ronnie had the mass and size in all poses but if bb was just this,.. markus would have been a better bbr than ronnie!!..

Dorian 93 best BB ever. No 400 lbs Ronnie-bodyparts-mess could be even close....
