Dorian Yates - 1997 Mr. Olympia PICS You May Not Have Seen!!!

[david94]

And this thing was the best bodybuilder in the world during 6 years until the year of these photos.
What a great generation.

During 6 years until 97. I didn't say "prior" I said "until", which include 97.
Means between 92 and 97.
so 6 years.

The "until the year of this photo" threw me off.
Meh, my bad.

probably the most underated legs in the history of the business, they're hardly ever mentioned but quads, hams and calves were all insane.

This is also why I'm glad you're back, Dave.  You always knew your stuff.

yeah,,had long legs not stumpy look,,all heads in quad had pop look to them,for big guy had narrow hip structure as well.

[yates fan]

dorian definitely had the best overall leg developement when he was competing,nassers legs were a tad bigger,but dorian had better shape and bigger calves and more striated hams.

Looks OK in 97 in SOLO shots

  Dorian was simply better than Nasser. Get over it.

some more pics you may not have seen

[Fortress]

I attended a Dorian seminar/posing exhibition in Toronto mere weeks after he won the ... '95 O, I believe. No picture can ever do justice to what the man looked like in the flesh. He was roughly 285 he said and I have NEVER seen a physique like he had on that day. That the guy was flesh and blood was difficult to fathom, considering he seemed made of something other than human tissue. And his balanced proportions, hardness and muscle bellies were awe-inspiring.

Those who suggest the man didn't deserve the O title never saw what I did on that day, that's for sure.

Fantastic shots and lol@ people who thought Nasser won 

Thanks for your work !!

Put Nassers and Dorians pics side by side and then tell me who won. Dorian has a disgustingly ugly physique, Nassers physique has a much better flow and balance to it with more size than Dorian's.

Certain shots Nasser wins , front double biceps , standing relaxed from the front , comes close in the ab-thigh and may win it , but he loses just about everywhere else. I thought that some times Dorian should have lost but Nasser just doesn't beat em resoundingly regardless as to what fanboys claim , you have to K.O the champ and Nasser couldn't do it

hahhaahha sure not.. how for example you give dorian the QT to the left with his missing arm?!!!.. imp the only poses dorian beat nasser in on that day were the 2 rear shots.. even his TM poses like the FLS and ST were clearly off!!..

[Sherief Shalaby]

I guess the judges thought it wasn't as bad as having a fucked up back

so at least levrone or ray should have won!!.. i cant imagine how to crown a man with one whole missing arm as the top pro. bb!!!.. dorian's left arm was on that day was body destroying not building!!..

yes even in some of his TM poses he looked clearly weak beside nasser

not underrated at all.. at his best dorian had great and complete lower body and his calves are from among the very best ever (if not the very best).. but IMO nasser's quads and hams were better..

[greeneyes]

greatest calve ever but snbat or levrone deserve to won this olympia , even yates would think the same

[Sherief Shalaby]

greatest calve + back ever but snbat or levrone deserve to won this olympia , even yates would think the same

fixed

[Iceman1981]

Nasser looks amazing there and is actually hitting the FLS correctly there instead of crunching down on his abs which caused his lats to not have that "pop" look that Dorian had. Great pic.

From the front and side---Nasser

Nasser won.

Nasser didn't win the side triceps or the ab/thigh.

[Danjo]

I'm a fan of huge Nasser,but for the most part Dorian has him....when Dorian turns around it all turns around

Wrong, Nasser is shallow from the side.

Alright , we'll give Nasser the 1/4 turn to the left so he wins three poses maybe four with the ab-thigh , Dorian wins the rest so Nasser still loses 

hehehehehehe Dorian only beat Nasser in two poses that day  this is why you make a terrible judge  and don't know much about professional bodybuilding.
