Dorian always leaned towards the more measured, analytical approach, whereas Ronnie is all about the powerlifting style of training with terrible form.

Either way is good - it's about finding out what works for you. As long as you're stimulating the muscles thouroughly and eating properly and consistently, then all you can do is sit back and let your genetics do the rest.

True to a certain degree. Someone who trains for pure power and density will no doubt build a different body than someone who trains light and focuses on form assuming they have similar genetics. I strongly agree that different training methods will build different bodies. I dont think you can build a power physique training light your whole career, and i dont think you can build a nice, aesthetic, symmetrical physique training heavy either.

i would rather take advice from dorian...

....ronnie was better, but ronnie had better genetics...

dorian had shit genetics....but pushed, and molded what he had to the limits...

Anybody saying Ronnie did not know how to train is a moron. Actually LOOK at his lift and tell me something he does wrong? Let me ask you something- do you REALLY think a guy can build up to front squatting 600lbs, db pressing the 200's for 12 like it's nothing, all the crazy shit he did without understanding proper biomechanics and lifting technique? You are crazy! He spent a lot of time learning the very same shit dorian did. Difference was Dorian relied on perfect execution, Ronnie on lifting maximal weight. Ronnie had the kind of frame to where he wasn't much to look at until he was HUUUUUUUGE but whe he got there, he was just unreal. He had to fill out a gigantic frame, slow controlled incline presses would not have gotten him there. Watch the unbelievable and look at his form-it is perfect. A guy that size and strength level would have had a LOT of problems with his shoulders and a number of things if he did not understand proper form.3
