exactly.
he was a lot better in 99 than in 98
yeah that's why 1999 is considered his all-time best
and not 2001 despite being 10 pounds heavier and equal conditioning lmao you're to simple and posting one single pictures means NOTHING in terms of overall hardness from every angle
review of mr. olympia 1999, january 2000, page 90:
257 pounds, a good seven pounds heavier than last year and the clear winner,
ALTHOUGH NOT AS BONE DRY OR AS ROCK HARD IN 98. In comparison to 98, his thighs are enourmous with a greater sweep and his front delts have improved; plus the pec anomaly (gyno) is no longer present.
Quote Peter McGough Flex Magazine Jan 2001
RONNIE COLEMAN : ( 264lbs As big as a house , but holding water. In '98 , he was shredded and bone dry at 250 pounds.
Last year ( 1999 ) he was 257 pounds but NOT as sharp as '98. This year ( 2000 ) at 264 pounds , he's not as sharp as 99 , which would seem to say that Ronnie is better at a lighter weight .
Ronnie what was your best Olympia?
Ronnie: I would have to say my first
because my conditioning was spot-onHulkster = owned as usual
