The ONLY reason Nasser lost the 97 Olympia

[Shockwave]

 
NO back and lackluster conditioning.

NO back and lackluster conditioning.

His conditioning from the front was very good but from the back it sucked badly  and he looked like a 280lb bodybuilder from the front and a 220ln one from the back , it's odd he completely shrunk from the back

If Nasser looked like he was 220's from the back, then Dorian's legs and arms from the back must have made him look 200 or less, since they are smaller than Nasser's form that angle (and from the front angle too).

The difference in Nasser and Dorian's back is less pronounced that the picture implies because of the difference in angle.

Nasser's back is just flat out embarrassing. Yates just kills him.

That year maybe , do these look like a ' 200 or less ' bodybuilder? I think not , his legs look comparable in size to Nasser that year

[NarcissisticDeity]

The difference in backs is staggering

Nasser rarely had striated glutes if ever , his whole conditioning from the back was lacking

sure dorian killed nasser from the back even in 97 but nasser killed him MORE from the front and killed him in more mandatory poses than yates did.. imo yates was better only in the 2 rear poses in this year.. also the judged should have marked yates down for missing one whole arm!!.. it was not only very small but also deformed!!.. the winner of the biggest BODY BUILDING show with a deformed part!!

some asshole may say "but nasser also missed a back" but sure it's totally different, nasser's back only lacked the details of some of the other top finishers but his back was not deformed!!.. seriously nasser's only weak pose was the RDB, even his RLS was good and better than some of the other top finishers!!..

Nasser destroyed yates that year and could easily have won
why should a bbing contest be won only from the back
he dominated yates badly everywhere else
so Dorian won from the back
but Nasser destroyed him from the side and front.. Yet Dorian wins ha ha you have to love bbing judging

[Tarantula157]

Let's not forget that in the BDB pose the whole package is being judged,including the arms,so Yates didn't look complete even in that pose!

yes dorian's cock suckers boys always like to talk about back poses because no doubt dorian's back was great even at his worse condition it was still very good and much better than all the others but this didnt/doesnt mean to ignore all the other poses/bodyparts!!..

Lol. Where did I ever state I thought yates should win? Personally I think Nasser looked better in 97. But I understand why they went with yates. Small arms vs NO back. Muscle shape isn't really judges according to the criteria, so thE deformed arm wasn't really an issue. If Nasser had anything. Lose to a back he would and should have won.

[leadhead]

I know the bodybuilding scene today is lackluster compared to these times mentioned but don't you all ever get tired of discussing something that happened over a decade ago serious question

[Palpatine Q]

Yates was injured,because he trained like a beast ....thats why his left arm sucked

Nassers back sucked because he trained like a pussy and was to weak willed to put in the effort to improve his back. He brought the same package to every contest.....good front, piss-poor back. The judges knew this and they never saw him look any different.. if he would have improved it he probably would have won an O or two.

But that was the "book" on him and he didn't do anything about it

didnt his left arm kill the symmetry with his right arm in many poses??..
didnt his relatively small arms/shoulders/chest kill the proportion with his huge wide back??..
didnt his injured bad conditioned relatively small quads kill the proportion with his great big calves??..
didnt he have a big pregnant belly on that day even when flexing??..

2 last question..

after ALL these points how did he win??..
and how did he do it with perfect scores??..

sure yates injured himself because of hard training but so what??.. was this supposed to make the judges ignore his deformed part??

so if nasser's back was bad because of his weak training why the rest of him was not bad??.. was he training his bad like a pussy then the rest of him like a monster?!..

son,.. bb is all genetics or let me say mainly genetics and you and i know this well!..
