Dorian from 1991 to 1997.

[Sherief Shalaby]

Mr. Olympia 1991: Dorian was 239 pound and was a real threat against Lee Haney.. Very few points (may be 4) separated them..
Mr. Olympia 1992: Dorian increased his size and was 242 pounds and won in a good way.. Even if Lee Haney was there I belive Dorian would win.. But still a lot of ppl had doubts that Dorian could win again in the next years specially after the very promising appearance of Flex Wheeler at the Ironman and the AC 1993..
Mr. Olympia 1993: Dorian increased his size again but this time in a crazy way and came at 257 pounds with unbelievable shape (size and condition).. He set new standards and answered all doubts on stage..
Mr. Olympia 1994: Dorian tried to keep increasing his size thinking he would still look good like he did in 1993 and came at 262 pounds but it didn't work.. Still he was good enough to beat Shawn and Kevin.. He himself said that the only guy he considered a threat was Flex Wheeler who couldn't compete that year because of his fatal car accident..
Mr. Olympia 1995: Dorian was 255 pounds.. He returned back to nearly the same weight of 1993 to return his good condition.. It worked very well and his condition was insane.. May be even better than 1993..
Mr. Olympia 1996: they said he was 257 pounds and his condition was very good as in 1995 put his muscles were not as full as in 1995.. He looked somehow small in some shots not only with the huge Nasser but also with others..
Mr. Olympia 1997: the only reason I believe he increased his size again to be around 270 pounds was to be the same size or at least close to the size of Nasser.. Ironically Nasser decreased his size this year for a better condition and came at 270 pounds instead of his normal (280-285 pounds).. So both of them were nearly the same weight.. In my opinion it didn't work with both guys.. Dorian's condition was not even close to his previous years (even in 1994 he was better), also Nasser was not as impressive as his bigger version.. Still Nasser deserved to win this show specially with the newly torn left tri of Dorian (beside his already torn left bi)..

Was 1993 his best year?  After that his gut started to get big.

Flex Wheeler is dead?

In both 1993 (257 pound) and 1995 (255 pound) he was very good.. Although in 95 his condition was a little bit better I belive his 93 version must be considered as his best shape ever because it was before tearing his left bicep..

Who said so?.. He survived the car accident of 1994..

agree

Dorian achieved what he set out to achieve.....those pictures are interesting and brought a sense nostalgia....

dude lived the dream like every Mr Olympia before and after.....how many of us can say that

do a slap-up of Ronnie in ten years and I bet we'll all be wishing we had those times again

life moves on....screw it

[Hulkster]

you can see with those bi shots how bad the arm looked once he tore it.

and in 92 his arms seemed their smallest for some reason. even in front shots from that contest his arms get dominated by Lee Labrada..

93 had to be his best year overall.

even though he was probably harder in 95, that arm looks horrible.

I agree

Dorian was heavier than 255lbs in 1995...
I believe he was around 260

No he was not..

Lee Haney disagrees

Lee Haney disagrees

Man I remember what Lee Haney said very well but 255 pound was what Flex Magazine mentioned in 1995.. I belive Lee Haney was just saying what ppl were saying about Dorian's weight on that day.. May be he reached 260 pound but the moment he was on the scale he was 255 pound.. Anyway either this or that he looked great and may be the ppl of Flex Magazine were wrong, I am not sure as long as I didn't weight him myself ..

Its NOT uncommon for bodybuilders to gain weight from the prejudging to the night show and lose weight as well so this may be the case

Exactly!.. specially we are talking about someone who was over 250 pounds.. 5 pounds meant nothing with him..

First off sheriff shalaby is an idiot. Look, Nasser never beat Dorian, never even came close(kinda hard when you got no lower back, also no one ever comes down on Nasser for shitty triceps.) Dorian went out a champ, Nasser went from top 3 to bottom 6 in a little over a years time, disgraced his name by taking synthol, tried to salvage his career by making a comeback that was nothing short of pathetic.

Disagree with me as you like, this is the aim of the forum (to exchange opinions) but why do u call me so??.. If u want to live with ur own opinons only so go and live by yourself.. And why are you talking now about how Dorian ended his career and how Nasser ended his?? Did I say that Nasser in general was a greater champ than Dorian??.. I am really getting tired with stupid assholes like u and I am sorry to say that really..

[bodybuilder1234]

No he was not..

ummm yes he was

255 at prejudging, then he probably carbed up and went to 260

Epic reliance on IFBB controlled "wins" to support your "logic".

Epic reliance on IFBB controlled "wins" to support your "logic".

Epic reliance of racism to support your logic , especially considering you claimed that when black atheletes are on the magazines the sales go down yet Shaw Ray graced the cover of Flex magazine more than ANYONE lol its so easy to own you and your claims

1994-1997 looks like a flesh covered beer keg with two taps or outlets

Very good post. Nice to see that some people don't get blinded by uncontrolled hatred or nuthuggin.

[Sherief Shalaby]

Very cool comparison. Cool post. Thanks for the effort.

Many thx.. I really like and respect polite ppl like you.. Not like this kid who called me "idiot" just coz I said Nasser should have beat Dorian in 1997!!!..
