Which year?

No specific year.  I'm going by memory, and what i used to see in the mags back in the day.  I remember Yates keeping his sharpness and size, and him being fuller during the tours than the other competitors.  I have no pics to back up my claim.  Was strictly an observation from looking at pics in the various mags at that time. From a spectator point of view, I remember seeing the pics and thinking that he was solidifying his Olympia win b/c he's harder and more cut than anyone else in the tour pics.  So, I guess to answer your question:  every year.

[Coffeed]

Yes... Yates had his fucking chance to beat Haney and Yates failed to do so!

Haney won. I'm not debating that.

But it Arnold competed then it would have been lights out!

Kevin Levrone was also notorious for coming in fuller and in even better condition during the Grand Prix's too. 1996 comes to mind.

The black and white pics were All brainwashing there's pic of Ronnie destroying him in the black and white pics! Ronnie weighed 306 pounds on stage Dorian never did that ever! I respect Dorian but I think most of you side with him be use he's a white guy! Haney, Arnold, and Ronnie hands down were better than Dorian!

When did Ronnie ever weigh 306 on stage??  haha

I trained in Ronnie's metroplex gym during his 2003 prep, saw him almost everyday, he was huge but was not close to 306 on stage ever, maybe during his prep

That's why they should bring weigh ins for these pros at the O, all this weight exaggeration is ridiculous

Ronnie was just shy of 300 pounds (296 I believe) at the 2004 Mr. Olympia.

so he says
All the guys at the 88 were not "down in weight" , they had just never been weighed before.
They all claim ridiculous weights, these days most of it is in their guts.

[Nether Animal]

Kawak carried a serious amount of muscle for the time. I think he was underrated for sure, at least in the IFBB

[Bevo]

Good physique

Another one that died from a heart attack??

[njflex]

[_bruce_]

Looked truly awesome.

[TSNWGS]

Yeah Ronnie was 296 so for the Saturday night show he put on like 10 pounds 306!

[Nirvana]

Ronnie was just shy of 300 pounds (296 I believe) at the 2004 Mr. Olympia.

at the 03 olympia he's listed as 258. Watch a video of 03 vs 04 and see if you think he's 40lbs heavier in 04.

[Danimal77]

Was apparently 287 in 03 and 296 in 04.

[Hulkster]

According to Peter McGough, Yates deserved to beat Haney in 1991. There's an article on Flex Magazine's website.

yeah, no homeland bias here lol

McGough was about the only one who thought that.

It was a typo in the 2003 Mr. Olympia video.

Ronnie weighed 257 lbs in 1999.
287 lbs in 2003 and 296 lbs in 2004.
Also, Ronnie weighed over 300 lbs on the European tour in 2004.

Not a good look at all, what is all wrong about bbing

What did he weigh in 1998? 250?

[Royalty]

Would the sport have been better off if Jay won in 2003? What if the judges sent a strong message to Ronnie that he was just too big? Imagine if Jay & Dexter were 1st and 2nd.

[Grape Ape]

yeah, no homeland bias here lol

McGough was about the only one who thought that.

Yates won the muscularity round, so he likely wasn't the only one.
