Dorian Yates at the 1996 German grand Prix Prejudging. This is not the old video that has been on YouTube for the past few years. That one is from the Finals. This one is from Prejudging.

Looks like he is carved from stone. I would rate this version of his physique behind 1993 Mr. Olympia (better arms) and probably tied with his look at the 1995 Mr. Olympia. Either way, Dorian definitely was a true BEAST.

His only errors were over dieting for shows. And training far too heavy as he dieted in excess.

Fucking beast. Awesome condition. This is the Dorian that was missing from the 1996 /1997 Olympia. Ronnie was bigger but Dorian is the best conditioned monster ever. WOW

Best lower body of any Mr O imo. Just insane calves and great quad separation, hams were always on point too.

Yes -- Very True.

Dorian = Man
Rest = Boy
When on stage at his Peak.

Never really a Dorian Believer From The Pics I had Seen...
Until I Saw Him On Stage.

Pics Just Don't Do Him Justice.

At least 4 x Heath's wide.

Yeah, bodybuilding has progressed since then.

According to some had ronnie been a bit drier at that show he would have destroyed dorian....

LanceD · « **Reply #15 on:** July 01, 2016, 01:31:37 PM »

unfortunately, the biceps were weak. especially his left arm...otherwise great look

Early Dorian was the man to beat - overall a legend both attitude- and physique-wise.

Yeah, I sure would of like to see him a little fuller with that great conditioning.

Dr Dutch · « **Reply #23 on:** July 04, 2016, 09:22:28 AM »

DY overdieted extremely. If he hadn't he would have blown Haney to oblivion in 91...

Absolutely ridiculously good conditioning - no bodybuilders today can match that combination of mass and conditioning. Dorian was probably the best Mr Olympia ever.

Anyone who slates his structure doesn't know shit - "structure" is almost irrelevant when you've got gobs of lean hard muscle in all the right places and it shows how good he really was - with a torn bicep and a slightly wide waist he still blew everyone away. Besides, his structure was pretty good - his legs didn't overpower his torso or vice versa, nor did his waist take any attention away from his shoulder width. From the rear, his back thickness didn't take anything away from how good his glutes, hams, and calves were.

Shame about the injuries, otherwise he would have had 9 or 10 Olympias easily.
