Dorian Yates vs. Ronnie Coleman - who was better?

[jakesonyou]

Dorian was a much better bodybuilder and here's why...

-  better routine overall.
-  better poser overall.
-  better transitioning.  included with posing/routine, he transitioned through all the poses very well.
-  yates had the complete package.  ronnie coleman was missing calves.
-  yates had 1 bad showing during his reign.  ronnie went down hill after 2001.
-  ronnie coleman was not in control his gut in later years.  although fine in a relaxed position, no control when transitioning through poses or doing quarter turns.
-  dorian was thicker and drier than ronnie coleman.  dorian's conditioning is unmatched by coleman.  there are many sharpened pictures of both ronnie and coleman.  also many low quality pictures.  find the quality pictures and dorian blows ronnie away every time.
-  ronnie peaked early.  1998 was his best showing, followed by 1999, and then 2001.  2003 was big, but watery, and with a large gut.  dorian made HUGE improvements from 1991>1992>1993.  Then 1995>1996.  1997 was a huge but he injured his stomach and tricep which made him look bad in the front double bicep pose.

Unfortunately for Ronnie, Dorian is still winning today.  Dorian is off the drugs, but still large and training very hard.  This is his lifestyle.  Ronnie on the other hand is still injecting and is decomposing.  Ronnie is going around doing seminars showing off his large gut and trying to sell his horrible supplements.

Then 1995>1996.  1997 was a huge but he injured his stomach and tricep which made him look bad in the front double bicep

no, he looked bad in the front double bi pose from 1994 on:

  dorian was thicker and drier than ronnie coleman.

drier yes.

thicker no.

even at the same bodyweight, ronnie had a thicker back, thicker quads, arms etc.

most of dorian's weight was in his enormous waist:

ronnie at his peak was built like a champion bodybuilder, dorian, like a portapotty as someone one here so perfectly said LOL

both at 257, ronnie had a wasp waist, dorian had a keg of beer:

Ronnie smokes him in those pics. Dorian's best ever was pre-Olympia 1993. He sucked in 1994. In 1995 he was huge and hard, but his bicep was screwed. He would have lost to an all-time best Coleman. However, as I have said before 1993 Dorian could have completed easily with Coleman at his best. It really depended on the judging panel and what they wanted that day....size vs conditioning.

Jeesh ... this get's discussed SO MANY TIMES. Wow !! Threads started relating to the topic " Dorian vs Ronnie " should be automatic deleted with the member of said thread sent to Time-Out. No questions asked. Hahahaha. Of course, I'm only half-kidding ...


It's very simple, really. Dorian was a GREAT bb'er. I like his physique very, very much. Would rather prefer to have his type of physique over Ronnie's, in fact. And it should be noted that I am not a fan of either bb'er ... however ... Ronnie blows Dorian out of the water as a bb'er. How anyone could disagree with that is beyond me. Of course, here at GetBig, things always seem to pertain to one's " race ". Go figure.


Plain and simple. Ronnie is the better bb'er. Ronnie is the best bb'er to ever live. NOBODY WILL EVER BE ABLE TO REPLICATE WHAT RONNIE BROUGHT TO THE STAGE IN 2003.  


End of THREADS.

Didnt read lol

x2

This shit is old and tired.

[nicorulez]

Look at this comparison from 1993 Dorian vs 2003 Ronnie. Ronnie is much larger, easily so. I would wager the weight difference is 25-30 pounds. His lower back, glutes and hams are also more striated. Upper back is a toss up. As I say, opinions are opinions.

[nicorulez]

Regardless who you think is better. This is one of the most amazing bodybuilder shots ever

Are you honestly saying that Coleman's lower back was more striated than the Shadow's? LOL. Coleman fans like you really should commit suicide.
