Ronnie Coleman - 1996 German Grand Prix - VIDEO!!!

[Parker]

He should have stayed at the weight and improved his conditioning.  He would have been almost unbeatable if judged fairly.

But Gunter came around and beat him, he couldn't have that happen again.

[Mr.1derful]

If Ronnie had Chad in 96 to dry him out, he should have beaten Dorian then. Even with Ronnie being in the 240s.  He's more complete.

Are you referring to his calves or short torso and four pack abs?

[Wiggs]

But Gunter came around and beat him, he couldn't have that happen again.

98 Ronnie which apparently weighed the same as 96 Ronnie just better conditioning would always beat Gunther.  If Ronnie came in 98 condition with 98 size he'd win every year if judged fairly.

Look up Dorian from this particular show....game over for the rest.
Dorian Yates best ever that one. Maybe best BB body ever..

I agree.  The 96 German Grand Prix Dorian is the best phyique to ever grace a stage.

Are you referring to the torn bicep Dorian?

[Skeletor]

[local hero]

He has slabs of concrete shrink wrapped under his skin....

[Dr Dutch]

The grainy look. Ronnie never had it. Dorian did, at his best.

[Henda]

Best back shot ever seen, no way was Ronnie beating that on the day even if he had been drier, pure racist nonsense from the getbig nigs as usual

[Nether Animal]

That Dorian pic is awesome with the "shadows" on the sides... very fitting

[anabolichalo]

it's true

[Danimal77]

Weighed the same in 98 I guess but was on.

Actually he weighed slightly less in 1998 than he did in 96/97 (only by a few pounds though).

[Danimal77]

We know, his back was insane, his calves were great calves and he had pretty good forearms. Besides that, he was subpar imo (worst biceps, horrible thighs, and a mediocre chest at best).

[Nether Animal]

I never got the criticism against  Dorian's legs. They are very complete IMO.

LMAO When will you people get it? It's poses NOT parts that win contests. Despite his flaws he destroys everyone in most of the mandatory poses. Most dominant bodybuilder in the history of the sport.

Of course they were , people are grasping at straws.

[Royalty]

Of course they were , people are grasping at straws.

Offseason, Dorians quads were friggin enormous. His only problem was OVER DIETING.

[Royalty]

Prior to depleting sodium & carbs, Dorian's legs were huge

One of the craziest pics ever...

Not more dominant than Ronnie Coleman.

[Hulkster]

I agree.  The 96 German Grand Prix Dorian is the best phyique to ever grace a stage.

no way it was post tear and his arms were dwarfed by his upper body/torso by that point in his career..

the infamous 'twigs on a barrel' look. he was dry though.

still, his 1993 look was his best over all. two good arms to boot.

[Iceman1981]

Nasser from the front was a beast at this contest. Damn, just look at him next to Dorian, but from the back was a different story.

[Royalty]

When Nasser turned around, his back looked subpar.... and so did his triceps

[Tha Grim Lifter]

Having watched the video of this contest Dorian is so far ahead of the rest from the back it didn't matter what he looked like from the front

[njflex]

When Nasser turned around, his back looked subpar.... and so did his triceps

3 of the best calves as well there in the line up ...Nasser making yates calves smallish in comparison,,yates calves from front and when he flexed them turned sideways were incredible..
