hahhahah just noticed you said they tie in the abs and thighs..

Bro all the pictures your are using are working against you, anyone can see Levrone is beating Nasser in that pic, Nasser`s thick and blocky waist ruins this pose.

Now you hang out with the guy, he is your friend so your perception is not clear and you are also biased, but then again you wouldn`t be human if you weren`t

It might be the black and white shot but Dorian is exhibiting insane dryness and conditioning there.

seriously at his very best nasser had one of the very best abs and thigh pose ever.. levrone never came close to this..

No he didn't. His abs were very unaesthetic. They look like fat lumps, and lacked good serratus and intercostals. Look to Shawn Ray, Flex, Chris, Levrone, Francois, Pastel, Paris, Grubbs, Sarcev, Vince Taylor, and even Lee Priest as great examples of good abs.

nasser's abs are very good... and i am not taking about abs i am talking about the whole pose.. big difference..

Shawn Ray so got fucked. Dex is now actually rewarded for staying the same.

The problem with Shawn was he couldn't keep his mouth shut, too outspoken killed him IMO

you know that he was 268 pounds in this below pic. and they looked great..

ChristopherA · « **Reply #93 on:** March 03, 2013, 06:07:45 AM »

The thing with Nasser's huge waist was it was all of his own doing. His waist wasn't genetically big to begin with. He had a great balence of size and asthetics at the NOC. Pretty much ruined himself after that, always too big and blocky, with his "fat" ab stack throwing off most poses. To be fair, Yates did the same thing. Had a tight, almost small waistline at first. But he had tools Nasser obviously didn't to pull off the increased width of his waist. Mainly Dorian's back was Olympia caliber and Nasser's back was um........as good as the fat permabulker I see in the gym everday?

I scanned that pic

One of Nasser's strongest poses and one of the best ever in it. I always said that he DESTROYS Kevin in it no questions asked in my opinion

If Dex wins the Arnold this weekend, that means he will have tied Flex for 4 wins of the ASC. Plus, he has won the Mr. Olympia. Would this mean in theory, that he is "better" than Flex, Levrone, Shawn, Chris Cormier, Nasser? Granted, to some the Sandow alone means that he is.

Its dumb to compare bodybuilders in such a form. It is what it is. Some people have luck of the draw and others don't. Both are legends. This is applicable to anyone at any level of competition because at the end of the day the only thing that matters is what you think of yourself.

so i am sure you agree with me his version of huston 95 at 268 pounds was better than that pic. you posted from 94 where he was around 245 pounds??..

even if he had some more back details in 94 still his over all shape, size, fullness, and, thickness was much better one year later.. and sure this was not the case with all his big versions..

He was 250 in 94 and yes I think his all time best is 85 Houston , but when people talk about him being big they mean 275+

Dex at his best would never beat Levrone or Flex at their best! Maybe Cormier or Nasser! The answer for me is No!

He's coming to the end of his career. The body can only tolerate drug abuse for so long before a major organ fails.... 10-12 years tops.

Dex has been competing for far longer that that, well over 20 years (15 as a pro, and a successful one at at that).

He states he's feeling better than he has in years. And, as long as he's winning and placing high, there's no need for him to stop.

His only complaint, in my view, should be Masters Olympia. Maybe they should go back to calling it the Masters Pro World Championships. Dex got $100,000 for that win in 2011. He only got $75,000 for the Masters Olympia last year. I thought the moniker "Olympia" added more prestige (i.e. MONEY) to the title.
