Leave it to Hulkster to turn this back into a Yates VS Coleman thread , and he keeps digging for things to justify he notion that Coleman is superior , like Coleman has superior shape , conditioning and taper .
You wanted two pictures of Yates that compared to Coleman's conditioning , I gave you five , and those pic from the 1993 Mr Olympia I would say slightly edge out those pics of Coleman , look at the side tricep shot , you can clearly see his serattus , intercostles and obliques and well as his abs , and in that pic of Coleman you really can't see much with the exception of his abs.
I think you're high when you say Yates has no taper , look at that pic of him doing the front latspread , his V-taper is out of this world even with his " wide " waist
And when you say Coleman has superior muscle shape thats debateable , I would say Coleman has much better shape to his biceps than Yates , Triceps no , maybe a slight edge in roundness on the delts but nothing dramatic , although Coleman has a bigger chest I don't feel it looks any better than Yates'
forearms I would say Yates is better , back about even with perhaps a slight edge going to Coleman on width , midsection , Coleman has the narrow waist and medicore abs , Yates has a wider waist with sharp abs , serattus , intercostles and obliques , I would give the edge to Yates even with the wider waist although Coleman's has become the worse of the sport ,
glutes lol get serious , Yates has shown ripped glutes and who cares ? and Coleman's ass is like his gut the biggest in the sport and that distracts from most poses , hamstrings you could give Coleman a slight edge , Yates isn't bad at all , quads you can give to Coleman although they're not as great as everyone claims , but he does have the edge on sweep , Calves we know we know .
It all boils down to who would present the greatest overall package and who would look the best in the mandatory poses and in my opinion Yates would beat Ronnie Coleman , like he has before , Yates has much better balance , and muscle proportion , he has 99% of Coleman's size & width and fewer weaknesses.
A picture is worth a thousand words , like this one of Yates owning Coleman
