and yates was grainy, but no where close as ripped as Ronnie. I'll take ripped and shredded over grainy with little seperation any day.
Man you should really know what you're talking about before you type. Dorian was no where close as ripped as Ronnie
and then you type the same thing twice as if it's different ripped is shredded you moron . ripped shredded means you're carrying very little subcutaneous water , Dorian has been described as have ' tissue paper for skin ' or being ' peeled like an opinion ' thats ripped/shredded and then there density which is highly prized ( when coupled with size ) one can be ripped/shredded and not dense . density is the absence of even the intramuscular fat .
Dorian's conditioning is legendary his combo of size & hardness & dryness hasn't been matched to this day ! to say Ronnie is better conditioned than Dorian flashes a flashlight on your ignorance.
Peter McGough on the subject of Ronnie & Dorian's conditioning
While I’m on record as saying that the best physique I ever saw was Ronnie’s at the 2001 Arnold,
he was never drier or harder than Dorian. In fact now that – 14 years after it happened – I recently for the first time saw the video of Dorian posing before the 1993 Olympia I have cause to rethink. I’m now not sure that Ronnie at 245 pounds would beat Dorian at 269 pounds. At a bigger bodyweight I think Ronnie would look soft next to an in-shape rock-hard Dorian.
On the subject of conditioning, no-one did it better than Dorian. He achieved a hardness and dryness (without losing fullness) that nobody has ever matched. In the flesh he looked even harder than he did in photos. It was like a statue made of granite was standing in front of you.
