Dorian Yates - Picture Gallery - Discussion

[Iceman1981]

They aren't saying that, the poster clearly said Dorian loses the fdb pose to pretty much everyone, it's not his best pose just like Kevin's fdb

I've always said I don't like Dorian's physique but after yrs in retirement Shawn and Kevin said he was dominant and I'll take thier word for it since they competed next to each other

I didn't reply to the OP. I replied to Earl1972, so I'm not sure what you're talking about.

so why post that pic in a "nobody can touch this" thread about yates?

the front double bicep pose displays every weakness from the front, it is the make or break pose in every bodybuilding competition

nasser is completely destroying him there, every bodypart

since you like to say the judges awarded yates the wins so that means yates was "best" why don't you explain to me how the judges were "right" at this competition?

Come on Earl, your bitterness about Yates owning Levrone  is really starting to show.  I specifically said "with the exception of the fdb pose..." and then stated Yates won the other poses in 97.  Yeah, I posted a fdb pose, and a bunch of others, to illustrate my point.

Get over it - Levrone was awesome and arguably the best to never win the Mr O. But, he was never able to beat Yates. Perhaps he should have dedicated himself the way Yates did.

Have read it but again actually heard kevin in seminar say you can't beat dorian.

[Henda]

Haha earl is a lot like hulkster in the ronnie/dorian arguments in the way everyone else presents well thought out arguements on why dorian is better and earl/hulksters sole reason they believe kevin/ronnie to be superior is that they desperately want to suck their cocks

[illuminati]

Dorian The best of his era & Still unbeatable
Ronnie at his Best a close 2nd.

Because it's one pose?

You do understand there are 7 more mandatory poses and conditioning plays a role in all of them?

Not sure you understand pro-bb or how it's judged.

Levrone was awesome.  Yates was just better.

i know it's just one pose, the fact still remains that nasser destroyed him with every bodypart from the front, yates didn't magically look bigger and better when they turned to the side or hit other poses in 97

[Earl1972]

How many pros do you see add considerable mass without losing quality?

none

including yates

i consider a much bigger waistline and aging a lot in the face within one year to be "losing quality"

of course not when they award him the title with one arm it's safe to say you can't beat him no matter what he looks like

He looked much better in other poses.  What are you talking about?

People forget how dominant he was in the 90's.  Most complete Mr. Olympia of all time. 

Whoooooooooooooooooooooo sh!

Kabooooooooooooooooooooo oom!

[Nether Animal]

One thing confused me. If his right arm was uninjured, why does it look so bad in the FDB as well?

[Iceman1981]

That pic ^^^ is from 1995

[Hulkster]

dorian looked amazing in 93. still no Ronnie 99 but amazing none the less.

post tear he was never the same. even though he was super dry in 95 the torn bi looked awful.

You sure? Looks like 97 to me.

[Iceman1981]

You sure? Looks like 97 to me.

He wore number 6 in 1995 and number 12 in 1997.

[delta9mda]

You sure? Looks like 97 to me.

Yates was #6 in 95. #12 in 96 and 97

[Nether Animal]

Huh, then Francois sure looked strange just standing relaxed. I kept thinking it was '97, the year he was soft and on prednisone because of his sickness.

Haha, you are laughable.  Can you honestly not see that Yates gained quality size from 92 to 93?  (And much to your chagrin,  beat your hero by an even larger margin.) Even Hulkster acknowledges that Yates in 93 was unstoppable.

  97

Proportioned balanced hard conditioned mass. 1995

As good as 93 was, 95 was better (even with the shorter left biceps).

No way... '95 was sick but that's a stretch.
