Dorian Yates: 1997 Mr.Olympia Performance.

[Triple-H_2005]

Very original, intelligent reply.  

Almost as original and predictable as you or one of the other Muslim Mafia continually spewing your rhetoric about Teh Grate Huuuuuge Nasseeeeer.

Here's a shot of Dorian getting owned at the 1995 Mr. Olympia.

I had several shots of his embarassing showing 96 as well, but can't find them.

Before Nasser's nuthuggers start coming in the masses, it's evident to any fair person that Dorian should have split his Olympia titles amongst Nasser, Levrone and Ray.

So you're saying Yates should have won none? Let me hold my breath for a minute before you answer.

Agreed!

And is it just me or does Levrone's arms look "syntholish" or funny in this pic?

Thanks for the link - it actually casts more doubt on Yates' 95 victory

Did you think that picture was from 97?  (the topic of this thread)

nope, just ignorance on your part

[Grape Ape]

Dorian derseved '96.

[RZA]

94 and 97 are highly questionable, 96 maybe. 95, no way. When Ray was in top condition, he could have won because he brought something different to the stage. It was balance and aesthetics against over-mass. But guys like Nasser or Levrone were trying to beat Yates at his own game. And like it or not, until 97, he still had an edge on these guys, considering that legs and back are still the biggest muscular groups even though people like to focus on arms, pecs and delts for stupid reasons.

i was there in 95, yates was there clear winner.

[CigaretteMan]

I remember a comparison pic was posted before, maybe I can find it, of the front lat spread with Dorian and Nasser, and Nasser made Dorian look very smooth in that comparison - Yates had no muscle detail, striations, or vascularity in comparison.  

  You are out of your mind. Dorian was never smooth compared to anyone, much less to Nasser who always had edema problems.

Like I said, they looked either torn or damn small.  So if they didn't look torn, they looked damn small.  You could not even see his biceps from the rear double "biceps" pose.

  Dorian's arms were never very big, so if you believe he should have lost because of that, then according to your logic he should never have won the Olympia. Most of the people who argue that Dorian should have lost the 1997 Olympia do so because his left biceps/triceps were torn, not because they were relatively small. My point is that this argument is flawed because I don't think his torn biceps/triceps are apparent except on the front double biceps.

[Grape Ape]

i was there in 95, yates was there clear winner.

As was I in '96 and he was the clear winner as well.   When he turned around, people were laughing at how lopsided it was.

People want to judge that contest by the two photos were it appears Nassar was superior, but it just wasn't true.

[bigguns23]

Nasser tea baggers at it again.

[haider]

  Here is Dorian posing at the 1997 Mr.Olympia. From watching the video, I understand why he won: it was barely visible that his left biceps and triceps were torn. Enjoy!

he looks like a blob of shit from the waist up.

[hamood]

he still had an edge on these guys, considering that legs and back are still the biggest muscular groups even though people like to focus on arms, pecs and delts for stupid reasons.

Back yes, but Dorian's legs lost to Nasser.  Just look at the 95 pic above that Camel Jockey posted. and the discrepency grew even more by 97.

Dorian's arms looked much worse in 97 compared to 93.

[hamood]

Well my cousin Abdul-Basit was there in 97, and he said Nasser was the clear winner.  Abdul-Basit laughed at how lopsided it was!

[RZA]

Sure, his legs on that pic at least are not as good as Nasser's. Agreed? But still his back was better. And his legs are still better than Levrone's. So if you're talking overall symmetry, of all the mass monsters, Yates was still the most balanced in 95. '97 I said it before, I don't think he should have won.

[pumpster]

That's because his torso was so thick, and BOTH of his arms are small in comparison 

hahahaa the irony is that mediocre arms make the imbalance less noticable.

[pumpster]

man how hideous is that.


his arms suck, his quads, and hams are shit. flat as a pancake there.


and waist is wide as hell. arms look absolutely horrendous in the front double bi, he loses that pose to everyone in that show, just horrible arms for a MR O

97 was a classic example of BB politics and rewarding the wrong guy.

[pumpster]

Before Nasser's nuthuggers start coming in the masses, it's evident to any fair person that Dorian should have split his Olympia titles amongst Nasser, Levrone and Ray.

In other words, rife BB politics at work to deny those more deserving.
