I never got to see him in contest shape but when I first joined Temple Gym in late 1996 I saw Dorian at 300lbs - it was his last competitive year before he defended the 1997 Olympia and subsequently retired. He was in the gym training his son Lewis at the time who was only still a relatively young boy back then (maybe early teens), just messing around with a few machines as it was offseason. Dorian was unreal - wearing the biggest t-shirt I had ever seen a human being wear at that point in my life. I've seen bigger bodybuilders since at Expos and the like, but you never forget the first time you see a pro in the flesh so to speak (no homo).  

Saw him both contest shape at the 96 O and NOC, and offseason guest posing at 305.  All were unreal.

I saw yates in person at about 300. Huge & Lean.

I never saw him compete. But I have heard that he lost a little of his freakiness when he dropped below 270-280LB.

But he wanted to be ripped so he would diet down to 255-260LB

both kevin and dorian need better arms (mainly biceps) to really make the back pose stand out.

compare to someone who has a back AND arms, like Ronnie, and the difference is really striking:

In terms of detail but he disappears in poses with Yates and Coleman

Flex is narrow compared to those guys

I've heard/read a lot that photos of Dorian didn't do him justice.

TOTALLY. I saw him guest pose a few weeks after the 1995 Mr. Olympia, at around 285, and it was mind-blowing. Pics just NEVER captured Yates' incredible mass, thickness and density. I've seen many of the best up close (no homo), and when Dorian's quads were flexed no more than three feet from my eyes (again, NO HOMO ;D), it was the most freaky shit I had ever seen. His musculature didn't appear real. It actually looked like granite or something. Quality, quality, quality ... coupled with crazy separation, striations and tissue-thin skin.

During his prime, despite his injuries, the totality of his development and conditioning made him truly dominant, and this is saying A LOT when one considers his Mr. Olympia competitor peers.

His quads were 3 feet from you? Did you have a chair on the stage?

Kevin looks great here. Dorian doesn't look so great

dorian once again looking flat as fuck on stage. No wonder his facebook pic is a shot from a gym posing session X weeks before competition. His best pics are always before or after a show, when he was still in top notch condition but much more full.

in certain poses... but view him at a different angle and his lats disappear and you see how freaking THIN his back is.

alllllll illusion. detail in the inner-back, rhomboids, lower part the of traps, ect... draws your eyes to the center and then the round delts draw them out, gives the illusion of a big back... but it's actually pretty damn thin.

it tends to be either A or B.

A- great big, separated back with thick, heavy, hanging lats.... combined with weak, smaller, medicore arms/bi's.

or

B- high, thin lats, lacking detail and top-to-bottom separation... combined with big, round full arms/biceps.

it's a rare thing that a guy with a great back had great arms. guys with great arms seemed to let their arms do a lot of work in back movements, whereas guys with shitty arm genetics were able to use the muscles in their backs better (when training back).
