dorian shared something with lee haney... very long legs for their height (with the bonus of a short torso and hence low, thick lat insertions).

He just doesn't have the sweep of many of the other top pro's

The calves are so good that they kinda balance it all out

HIs legs look deformed, always have

his sartorius muscles pop out, but everything else looks like crap.

Show me ONE picture where Dorian has clear separation and between the vastus medialis, vastus lateralis and rectus femoris.

Show me ONE picture where he has striations on his quads.

They looked like big lumps of clay

well said. but you are speaking to the dumb and delusional here..so they will pretend his quads were
"excellent from all angles" LOL

Not much separation

this was always the problem. lack of important cuts relative to others, especially his main competitors:

Different strokes. Personally, id take Dorians quads.. which are unique looking (IMHO Shawns do look better, FYI) over Ronnies misshapen turnips looking legs with toothpick calfs anyday. Ronnies balance on his legs is terrible.

a lack of cuts does not make them 'unique'. it makes them poor as far as quads go in the world of bodybuilding.

thats like saying Ronnie's shitty calves are unique looking because they suck.

LOL so just because ronnie actually has a great quad sweep (unlike dorian) they are "misshapen"?

LOL

His quads have an overdeveloped Rectus Femoris *(correct me if that is the wrong part of the quadriceps) causing it to look like that. Its a genetic thing...
Ronnies Calves are small... not unique looking. Incorrect analogy, but nice try.

No. They look like turnips. Especially when he got heavier.
My OPINION is that I would take Dorians legs anyday over Ronnies.
Ronnie may have superior thigh development but his legs fail compared to Dorians for 1 reason.. Dorians legs have balance.
The calves and thighs are balance to each other.
Ronnies quads are rediculously huge, and his calves are way underdeveloped, causing a massive balance issue.
Besides I like the way Dorians quads look compared to Ronnies anyway.
And I like Shawns better than both of them.

Wiggs is spot on

Dorian really lacked outer quad sweep and seperation.

He was really hte most overrated Mr O

Weak arms, weak chest, weak upper legs, blocky waist

True....ZERO sweep...He points his toes out as an illusion of sweep.

Earl1972 · « **Reply #44 on:** January 13, 2010, 06:15:06 PM »

isn't it the proper way to point the toes out?

It is.
It's true tho.. Dorian doesn't have the sweep of a Ronnie. He didnt need to however.

Dorians quads were deformed, plain and simple...they did not look normal and the muscle wasn't where it is supposed to be.

Yes they were BIG,,big and deformed.

I wont disagree. I liked the way they look. To me they look unique. To each his own.

you like them because they are attached to Dorian's nutsack, just like you.

If Flex wheelers quads looked like that you would rip them apart.

Not exactly.
Don't put words in my mouth. I do like the way they look. And ill admit I am a Dorian fan, however I think he should have lost in 97, I didnt particularly like his look in 96 and I think a prime Ronnie would most likely beat Dorian. So does that make me on his nutsack?
