Ronnie set no new standard for back development in 1998 , lmfao what new muscle development did he have in his back that Yates didn't 5 years earlier? Ronnie set a personal standard in 1998 for development and his overall quality but he was a very lucky bodybuilder in 1998 , lucky that Flex was off and lucky the judges didn't pick Flex in name alone , 1998 he had laughable gyno thats a standard that should keep ANYONE from being awarded the Mr Olympia title
10 years from now Jay will always be remembered for stopping Coleman dead in his tracks , beating Ronnie in the most important Mr Olympia contest in the history of the sport , his physique won't be remembered as one of the greatest ever but his feat will always be remembered .
ND, you are completely wrong. Anyone who saw the show knows that Cutler did no such thing. Ronnie is the sole reason he lost the Mr. Olympia. He came in off. It is that simple. Looking at the pics, I completely change my prior opinion. He has not in any way ripped his lats. He is still able to flex it to a degree. Instead, I believe he has severe arthritis in his left rotator cuff that has severely hampered his ability to train that side of his body effectively. Proof, look at the most recent GP event. He was actually spreading his back in some poses. I bet he got a cortisone shot or IM toradol. Regardless, I feel that Coleman likely has a serious shoulder injury. That would make training his arms, shoulders and back very difficult. If it hurts to move the joint, you cannot work any of the muscles that attach at that site. If you look at the Mr. Olympia pics, it is obvious that Coleman is smaller than usual. His legs and chest were huge (along with the GH gut), but his back was severely lacking, as were his shoulders and triceps on the left side.
Thus, Cutler did not beat an on Coleman. He beat a shadow of his former self. It is like beating a champion long after his prime is done. Even you must admit the startling difference between Coleman 2005 and 2006. If Coleman were even 90% of his 2005 condition, he would have won quite easily. Jay looked like shit. His waist was wide, his arms average and he has no chest. His legs are awesome, and his back is wide and thick (however, no detail whatsoever). If you like this physique, it explains your infatuation with a subpar Yates in any year but 1992/1993 or 1995. Peace all.
