Dorian -three weeks out: 1993

[NarcissisticDeity]

Kevin Horoton GetBig Dec 30th

The photo is technically terrible, fortunately the physique is awesome.
I'd agree with Kris about Dorian showing up on stage how he looked a few weeks out. There are some shots of him at around 280 - 285 shredded. That conditioning has not been surpassed.

Kevin commenting on the famous black & whites pics he took of Yates , can you imagine what he would look like in a contest setting with a tan , posing oil and contest lighting? the video footage was the lowest quality and the black & white pics are technically terrible and they still sent shock waves into the bodybuilding community back then and still 14 years later , imagine a perfect set of pics in a studio setting with a digital camera? LMMFAO

Oh and keep this in mind

Flex magazine Jan 1992 on Dorian Yates

" Dorian has the type of physique that looks much better and more powerfull in person than photos. I personally saw him onstage , and Yates if definitely light years ahead of the way he looks in photos.

MuscleMag International Feb 1994 on Dorian Yates at the 1993 Mr Olympia


" He's huge , absolutely HUGE ...he's ripped completely RIPPED. And while he's not in possession of the prettiest physique body by a long shot , he's equipped with all the bodyparts you need to win .

Combine this with the fact that he's 10 TIMES more impressive when you see him onstage at the Olympia than he is in pictures or on videos and you got yourself a winner.

This is a quote from John Hotten book " Muscle "

" Chris Cormier standing next to Dorian onstage he sensed ' radiation coming off him , like an aura. ' The power of that muscle was tangible. It exerted a force all of its own.  Cormier thought ' I might as well forget about this guy and concentrate on being second. ' There was something else , too , strange. You had to witness him in the flesh. such granite hradness had a property that could nor be held on film or caught on paper. You had to see it live.


Peter McGough Flex Magazine May 2002

Let it be said that the camera can lie at physique contests. Some guys look great onstage but not so great on final film (Dorian Yates, for one) and vice versa (Shawn Ray is an example).

Now many sources all sat the same thing Dorian is NO WHERE near as impressive in pics or video as he is live & in person lol can you imagine how great he really is ? I mean this crummy footage is outstanding and thats just the tip of the ice berg and Ronnie just hit like the Titanic and sunk . lol

the truce thread ended over a 1000 pages ago with this physique:

soft mismatched parts my ass.

 

ps I see when visual evidence does not favor dorian over ronnie, ND goes RIGHT BACK TO THE QUOTES, his only line of defense against real life.

now what does THAT tell you?

exactly.

so much for the 'nail in the coffin' lol

only line of defense? lmfao maybe you missed the video? they screen caps ? my commentary ? the pictures ? everyone else agree Dorian in that videos is OUT STANDING and you lol have the balls to claim he's ' good ' lol


You're finished , the truce thread is finished , Ronnie is finished lol

ND, don't forget, Hulkster also knows more about photography than Horton

Ha ha Ha great post , he actually said Kevin was wrong and that pic wasn't terrible !

[Pollux]

Fine. Great. He won Mr. Olympia 6 times. Still an ugly-ass physique!

[NarcissisticDeity]

Hey Hulkster how about these quotes? lol

I'm a admire ronnie a lot but no matter how I look at it I cannot find many flaws on dorian.....he was so complete. he'd win a head to head olympia with ronnie in best shapes.

This video is madness.  Looks like ND was right this whole time and Hulkster has just wasted several thousand posts over the last couple years

hulkster, calm down, your almost frantic!   Roll Eyes

dorian is looking insane in that video..never seen it before!

that was when he was still amazing..before he started to come apart.

that video is proof that he overdieted to several of his olympia competitions..

insane calves.

there is no doubt that dorian was one of the best bodybuilders on earth and there are plenty of videos and real life experience to demonstrate it,,when it comes to genetics:what you do with this genetics ratio...dorian is by far by a mile the best bodybuilder to ever walk earth

His calves looked over 20 inches in that video..  Shocked

Fucking sick conditioning and mass.

Shit, I never thought Dorian was THIS good. He was amazing, the most impressive bodybuilder ever, without a doubt.

There's no doubt that Dorian is symmetrical. His body's just not "pretty".

Dont get me wrong, I'm a huge Dorian fan (Ronnie too).

Two totally different bodies.

This video destroyed any and all credibility Hulkster ever dreamed he had.


Hulkster, I'm not a fan of Ronnie's and Dorian's physiques, even if I own a couple of DVDS from each one, so I do have a totally unbiased opinion. To tell the truth, Dorian is far more impressive in that clip than Ronnie in "The Unbelievable"; minus the biceps, which are simply light years ahead on Coleman, Dorian owns Ronnie on every bodypart. Look at those calves, look at those tris, look how dry yet dense Dorian's muscles are; he's just way more complete than Ronnie ever was. I'm speaking of 1993 of course, after that year Dorian shouldn't have won any Mr O IMO. Ronnie may be the freakiest bodybuilder to ever enter a stage, but Dorian in that particular clip is just amazing.

and thats just on this thread lol you're done !!

The later photos were taken in his gym about seven weeks before the 1993 Olympia. He'd just finished a chest workout and he weighed 269 pounds. If I had to rate my most memorable bodybuilding moment the sight of Dorian that day would be neck-and-neck with the first time I saw Sergio. He hit the first shot, double biceps, and I walked up to him and said, "Don't worry Dorian. You have plenty of time to fix this. All is not lost."
I told him he could walk on to the Olympia stage in that condition weighing 269 pounds, untanned, with his socks on and still win.

insult to injury !

[Hulkster]

Fine. Great. He won Mr. Olympia 6 times. Still an ugly-ass physique!

tell me about it..

[Shockwave]

tell me about it..

No one ever said Dorian was pretty.
Luckily, BB isn't judged on "prettiness"
Otherwise Bob Paris would be a multiple Mr. O.

Luckily? Are you fuckin' kiddin' me!?!?

That's exactly why bodybuilding is so grotesque today.

[delta9mda]

dorian is best bodybuilder in this planet when you know where he came from in the genetic pool,,so he is the best in relashion to what god gave him,,,

now there is no bodybuilder in the world that ever looked better than ron coleman 2003,,it was unhuman and i dont know how he pulled it most likley because he belong in the highest of the highest in the genetic pool

overall you cant compare the 2 ,,one is white one is black,,different body shapes,,different strngths and almost no weaknessess,,its up for personal favorite

dorian did look more hansome in this particular video footage than 99% of bodybuilders,,very handsome in that footage,,i have yet to see someone that look good in face that carry that weight on him so he wins on that big time

its basically ron arnold dorian in no particular order followed closely behind by sergio and haney in no particular order IN MY OPINION

gh15 has spoken...... the truth.

[Matt C]

Dorian looks incredible in this footage and in my opinion would have easily been the 2007 Mr. Olympia in that form...I also think in this form he could have pushed Ronnie of 2003 more than just about anyone else (other than previous versions of Ronnie).  But I would still give the edge to Ronnie in 2003 due to superior size.

[jonsande]

I can't argue with those shots; he was looking pretty incredible and I'm not even a huge Dorian fan.  That said, I will never understand how people here swear up and down that he deserved to win the O in '96 and '97.  Pure travesty.  I'm beating a dead horse, I know, but I just had to say it.

I like the tank look myself.

Awesome calves, but way over-developed for his body.  Insane back & hams.  But weak biceps, no chest thickness and shitty quad sweep/separation.  Ronnie at his best BRUTALLY destroys Dorian.

[ANAL DISCHARGE]

I notice this Hulkster character is still dedicating his life to Mr Coleman.  It's sad to see a man so obsessed in this way - very difficult to comprehend.  Seriously, I am not trying to be flippant here.  I've seen people like this before, they do invarioubly reach a state that you fellows refer to as 'meltdown'.

To not be able to give Dorian credit for those shots shows a clear lack of any fiber to the man whatsoever.  Ronnie looks great in those gym shots but as has been pointed out, they have been tampered with - photoshopped i believe?

You're going to comment on someone's mental stability with a name like "anal discharge"?  The irony...
