They all got bigger, but IMO, only Ronnie & Yates actually "improved".

Nasser by a country mile. Not even a contest.

Ronnie and Yates improved overall, made their backs their best bodyparts, kept waist down (that year), Nasser improved size-wise keeping his great original shape and lines, but started losing control of gut, whilst not improving a very important bodypart at this level - back.

you can see how ronnie got the nod over flex. same judges, completely different body. i guess if shawn had made some kind of change he would have been mro before dex.

Shawn put on 15lbs in a 15 yr career.

I'd say Jay because in my opinion that was his best physique ever. He should have been Mr O that year!

ronnie 2002 to 2003 was pretty drastic also..

One would hope so, being that Ronnie regressed in 2002.

Nice thread. Nasser and Ronnie made some good improvements, Yates not much. You can really tell that Jay overdosed on the HGH.

JasonH · « **Reply #10 on:** December 22, 2008, 06:13:14 AM »

Dorian 92-93.

The difference between those two years was amazing. Everey other pro bodybuilder shit a brick when they saw the black and white photos. There's been no reaction in bodybuilding like it since.

Most Improved might have to go to Dorian.

I know you can argue Ronnie didn't 'improve' from 2002 to 2003, but I would say that he had a gut in 2002 with small arms, so although his gut was back in 2003 his limbs and delts were bigger/wider than ever, thus improving his symmetry a lot. He certainly won more commandingly that year than the previous year, so at least in the eyes of the judges it was 'improvement', and 40lb is a big difference.

Yes Nasser's back was his only part to look better at his lighter weight (around 250 pounds) than his bigger version (over 275 pounds)..

And he wondered why he never won the Olympia..... Deshay told him exactly why he never got a higher placing.... He didn't like what she said and threw a temper tantrum....

Brian Buchanan from 1981 to 1982.Here he is in 81 winning the junior Britain.

Steve Namat!

Here're the pics...2002-2003-2004-2006

By the way...I voted for Ronnie! Because Dorian had a huge motivation from '92 to '93...he wanted to proved everybody that he can be a multiple Mr. O champion... But in '97 not too many people believed that Ronnie had the potential to be Mr. O...but he believed in himself.

That's my opinion.

njflex · « **Reply #22 on:** December 22, 2008, 08:13:51 AM »

i always say positive things about your build namat .good build my man.
