Nasser El Sonbaty at the 1998 Mr Olympia

[dr.chimps]

I thought he just so fantastic and complete here. What a stunning physique. All argue on the side, we have to all admire that.

I had him winning that show but it was always going to be given to an American after the Yates years..

And where does Nasser now live?  In America. Within driving distance of his beloved steroids.

Ronnie was 25 lb lighter, but looked as big, with bigger arms

[Sharma]

I agree he looked great but he was not the same force from behind and this hurt him.

Well my thoughts on this are as follows:

 - Nasser's back was not as weak in his peak competitive years as some people suggest and his hams and calves were breathtaking.

- It is a physique contest and front is just as important. Some athletes came higher than Nasser with only maybe the back being better; Yates had no arms, narrow quads, and others had gyno and droopy chest.

- His PERFECTION from the front and still decent showing from the back was enough to comfortably win at least 3 Olympias if all things were fair. By this I mean they weren't judging names, or the personal friends of the judges (like Yates was) looking for a new American champ.

He did have great hams and calves , but he looks very small and narrow from the back as well has not having a outstanding back , he did look great this year but his legs seemed down in size albeit sharp still

The massive amounts of Oil in the shoulders, arms, and to a lesser extant, calves, don't exactly help his cause either.

It is a shame, because Nasser was a great bodybuilder, and I don't think he really needed to resort to that....and in the end it hurt him.

[Tarantula157]

He looked great in 98,but I think in 97 he was closer to the victory.

I can agree with this. Nasser probably deserved 97. Ray in 96.

[Tomanater]

it was always the same thing with nasser..i saw him compete numerous times and seen him guest pose on several occasions..very simple..He was huge yes from the front......but when he turned around it just wasnt happening for him..very flat back muscle didnt look impresive..even from the side relaxed his back was very flat..I have nothing against nasser guy looked really good in his prime but that was his weekness and the back is just to large of a bodypart ,to have such a weekness..plain and simple...

Letting bobs lead Team Nasser, while Nasser posts under another name, minus common sense, of course: General Nasser leads from behind.

I just don't see Ronnie look better in this picture. No, not at all. I see Ronnie - who I like very much - with a VERY droopy chest that looks horrid to me. He has no calves compared to Nasser and his arms only look bigger because he have no shoulders, unlike Nasser. Nasser looks way more complete here. Even his lats are flared and impressive. It go without saying that Nasser has the better, more pleasing midsection. This is pretty much the perfect physique from the front.

For me, Nasser looks a thousands times better here.

I didn't say better, I said bigger. As I posted above, Nasser looks like Mr Olympia from the front, although Ronnie did win overall easily.

And while smaller shoulders will make the arms look bigger, you can see that Ronnie's arms are plainly bigger than Nasser's, just like his calves are smaller than the latter's.

I understand your frustration, Sharma. Having to defend and glorify such a cowardly roach such as Nasser who hides in the shadows under a different name than his own must be so difficult. My prayers go out to you.

The real question is that can you even take Nassers shoulders, or arms, or calves, seriously when comparing him to someone? He blatantly cheated by dumping a years worth of oil reserves into those parts.

I am not the biggest Yates fan, but I give him a lot of credit for never going the synthol route.

My word, you are just obsessed with the great Nasser. I am thinking that you will love his book. I understand that it is to be many hundreds of pages long and quite a work. I see many hours of reading ahead for you and a tasty banquet to satisfy your hunger for Nasser El Sonbaty!

Will he be offering autographed manties, with the first 100 orders?

[Sharma]

I don't really think anyone care for "respect" from a girly- man like "Foreskin69".


This what he say about have sex with a transvestite.

Say what you will...this is one of the hottest "men" around. Of course the Getbig contingent...prefers shredded glutes, and copious amounts of Pro-Tan.

Yeah Id hit it...I would cry rivers of tears the next day...and take 13 showers while questioning my sexuality....but yeah id hit it.

Yes foreskin69 spends most of his day melting down and posting pics or thinking about trannies.

[Hulkster]

Lol... quite the broken record are we? Makes sense you would have to resort to baseless insults, instead of solid arguments. Please carry on, as you simply continue to make an embarrassment of yourself.

[Nirvana]

Nasser wasn't oily in this year, I know in 2002 was the most horendus display of Synthetic vs. Conventional, but back in the day Nasser showed what a physique should look like

[NarcissisticDeity]

No shit Ronnie was better who is claiming otherwise stupid? no one
