Dorian Yates amazing offseason pics

What bothers me about Yates is that is calves are in proportion to his thighs.

Calves should be an afterthought......underd eveloped sticks that merely seep out, under comically disproportionate buffoon-size upper legs.

For Yates to have calves that are so rare, and therefore unfair, constitutes a hate crime.

Coleman sticks, unnaturally injected with filt, even things out a bit....but even so, Yates' natural calves still give him an edge.

There is just something hatefully unfair about Yates' calf genetics.

  Dorian had visible abs at 305 lbs offseason. He could have stepped onstage at 285-290 lbs and still have better conditioning than 99% of bodybuilders on their best day. It is obvious that in his attempt to come with insane condition, he lost a lot of muscle and came in flat. His conditioning was insane, but he always looked flat.

I saw Yates guest pose at a Bev Francis Atlantic states at TriBeCa performing arts back in the day.   He still was awe inspiring.

Yes and that was 20 years ago! U was 12 years old and everything over 200 pound was wow! The world for young people is small! They are easy to impress!

No, stupid, I was 22. Try again.

was this it?

might have been.   I competed in a few shows but had a buddy who was more in to it.  Yates was amazing.  following year was lee priest.   

I competed at a NPC show and Ronnie was Guest poser.   He was ridiculous of course, but Yates still made TJE most lasting impression on me.

Magnificent.  I have seen all these pictures before, but anything of Dorian "The GOAT" Yates just blows my mind.  Massive and dominant with class.

superb!

Saw him at the North Atlantic (?) championships up in Boston one year when he was 305.   The guy who won was 260 and looked like a bantamweight next to Yates.

Yates was like a cartoon - the smallest bodypart on him was his head.  I've seen Yates live when he won the NoC, and the 96 Olympia, but nothing was as impressive as the guest posing.

Yates had an unfair genetic advantage as far as calves.

Good calves are SO rare among pro bbs, that it is unfair to even include them as a body part.


Thank god, that the importance of calves has been diminished in recent years.

Thank god, that there are enough amoral stooges that can look at Coleman's fake, ungodly, German oil injected, unnatural lower legs..... and due to measurement size, view them in the same category as Yates.

Obliviousness rules!!!

Calves are one of the freakiest muscles when developed.  I'd include forearms as well.

I saw Doz guest pose at the Emerald Cup in Seattle in 1992. He was 300 pounds, f-ing enormous.

I saw him around then as well, at the First Coast in Jacksonville, FL !!

He was well over 300 lbs .
