Lee haney @ 245-250LBS (1980s vintage) has to rank near the top with the Relaxed pose.

I agree, not best ever and not the most "holy shit" inducing but very complete and good pose for his physique.

For some reason I just don't like Yates' physique. Dunno why

[nycbull]

Dorians strength and the reason why he won the Olympia is in his silhouette, he has an amazing flow from muscle to muscle creating really pleasing lines and curves...creating a very classic silhouette of a bodybuilder....I mean if you had to compare competitors by only looking at their shadows on a wall, or behind a screen, you would pick Dorian as having the best looking physique, maybe not the biggest but definitely the one with the best lines and the most aesthetic appeal.

exactly right............

thats why dorians is probably theee best

the outline is the biggest part of it ............

thanks, yea I think competitors should be more aware of their outline...but today the aesthetic is just about getting each body part as big as possible, so it's unnecessary I suppose.

I think that is the major difference between Ronnie and Dorian,  it is like comparing apples and oranges....Dorian sculpted his physique into an outline that he thought was most appealing, where Ronnie just set out to make every body part as big as possible...those are too different approaches and pointless for posters here to keep comparing them.

Thats why I like Wolf he seems to be designing his physique rather than just trying to make every muscle as big as possible.

sorry but ronnie has him beat in the relaxed pose:

much better quads (both cuts and sweep)

arms not undersized and overpowered by his torso

smaller waist:

[Hulkster]

you can see the difference in proportions comparing Ronnie's arm/torso to dorian's arms/torso.

ronnie are in perfect proportion with one another.

dorian's needed to a be a little bigger to get the proportions right.

he also need some quad cuts and some more sweep to really get the classic look.

how is it a meltdown when everything I have said is not only true, it is explained and shown in my comparisons?

because every post with Yates' name you interject your ignorance  thats why the mention of Yates induces your meltdown lol

haaha, Sonny looks like he's about to faint.

sorry, but I don't agree with the topic of thread, since dorian has had the WORSE relaxed pose EVER in a few of his post tear contests..

the 93 one looks good, but its far from the best ever.

That shot is insane, prob. the best shot from the front ever dare I say, it captures his density and thickness.

[nycbull]

thats the whole problem, which classic look?, from what era?,,, to me Dorian looks perfectly classic, Ronnie too extreme, but its a generational thing so there is really no wrong or right...thats what hard about this sport, who knows which version of classic or ideal the judges have in their heads...but since it isnt really solveable the arguments will just continue

Neither do I   however ANY mention of Yates' name induces a multiple thread meltdown its your M.O.
