DORIAN: Insane density and thickness

[Nether Animal]

... and they said it could only be seen in person. I think this photo sort of demonstrates why he dominated

[oldschoolfan]

dorian was the man no doubt

[Eric2]

Minus the injuries he would hAve had 8 or more sandows.

[Mrdibbs]

Epic calf to kneecap width ratio

[affeman]

At his time (90s), that may have been impressive. Today there's a different standard

[denarii]

i saw hi in the street in birmingham once. he looked like a cartoon character

[dj181]

i much prefer this kind of physique

aesthetics for the motherfucking win 

fyi, he got quite a bit bigger after 2000 (most likely with the addition of slin/gh) and lost a bit of his beautiful lines

Yates was and always will be the best in this sport.

Sure...

Would you take Benfatto or Labrada physique at their peak?

[Rusty Trombone]

Affeman,why are you boring everyone all the time with your stupid and unfounded support for today's obviously crappy and phaggy bodybuilders,especially Philip Sheet?

Horrible troll job. That's all he does is post pics of Phil saying how he is the greatest. Tired, stale routine/trolling. He needs to find a new angle.

benfatto

labrada has damn good aesthetics and so did paul-jean guilliume

but imho his quads were just a tad too big for his upper body and it threw off his aesthetics just a bit, it was the exact same situation for bob paris ie. quads overpowered his upper body

JEAN PAUL ARMS AND QUADS WERE EXCEPTIONAL AND RIPPED TO THE BONE,HE HAD A SMALL TORSO FOR THICKNESS OTHERWISE GREAT BUILD,LIKE A MINI WHEELER

[oldtimer1]

Sure...

Just soft bloated muscle. Yates had incredible density to his muscle.  All the current guys are bloated.

yep, his quads and bis were his best bodyparts and he had a damn good chest too

what do you think about benfatto?

the dude had absolutely everything in ideal proportions, every-fucking-thing matched just beautifully 

and on top of it all he had extremely narrow hips and a tiny little waist, these 2 things are an absolute requirement for aesthetical beauty, and next on the list would be tiny, tiny joints and lastly squared shoulders set straight across, no slopped down shoulders

True, but you realize by doing this you're doing exactly what laps-a-man wants.....

[Coffeed]

This is density.

24" arms packed into 12".

benfatto had incredible look shape,flow,balance ...pre 1990 mr o as amateur he was bigger he got more ripped 175/180 for those yrs 90-mid 90's then he got big as ever later 90's into 2000's comeback.

[dj181]

then he got big as ever later 90's into 2000's comeback.

\

yep, and that was a HUGE MISTAKE as he lost his flow...

i think you know that i think about myself in this situation as i am as you say djEGO

and yep, i tell myself watch that you don't lose your lines/aesthetics but truth be told i could most likely go up into light-heavyweight category before having to worry about that (although i'm convinced light-heavy would be my MAX), right now i'm basically just a middleweight ie. 'round 80 kg not 90 kg

[Fortress]

Sure...

Putting aside that I think he's a turd person, Phil looks absolutely dreadful in this shot. And despite the cliche it has become, I'll say it again. The man's narrowness is truly unreal. I mean, look at how his poor bird chest is crushed somewhere in there.

Bloofy, unproportioned and narrow as fuck. That's our "gift".

Yes - That is a good photo of Dorian
And does capture some of why he was so dominant.

Heath coming in more streamlined for the Olympia.
