Did Dorian improve after the 1993 Mr. O?

[Danimal77]

Did Dorian actually improve on his 1993 Mr. Olympia physique? We know he tore his biceps before the 1994 Mr. O and and later tore his triceps and quad. People critique his 1994 physique and he was smaller and flatter in 1996. 1997 was by far his worst physique, so was 1995 an improvement or a decline from his 1993 physique?

[Wiggs]

If his arm wasn't messed up from 94, I'd say 95 would have been his peak. But it was so 93 was his peak. I thought he was around 255 in 95 and 257 in 93.

[Nether Animal]

93 his waistline was a bit tighter, but for some reason 95 seems to flow better.

[Iceman1981]

I prefer 1993 and I don't think he improved since 1993 in my opinion. Some may say he was a tad better conditioned in 1995 and I mean slightly and with the torn bicep, but the torn bicep is the deciding factor for me. He didn't improve any where else. Same weight for both years.

Same weight for both years.

Not accurate.

According to the magazines in 1995 He was 255lbs , according to Lee Haney who emceed the 1995 Olympia he was 260lbs

1995 he appeared fuller while having an edge in conditioning , besides the biceps it's splitting hairs between the two contests.

1993 he looked insane but he did gain some size in the coming years. 1993 might be his best in terms of conditioning.

Don't you people get bored with having the same debates and threads again and again??

Two confusing sources of 255 lbs and 260 lbs. So, I guess 257 lbs is right in between just like 1993

I’m sure someone took that towel home as a souvenir as soon as Mr Levrone threw it in the laundry basket after his warm shower

And he weighed 256-257 pounds in 1993. Both weights have been listed for him. What did he weigh in 1994? I know he was 256 or 257 pounds in 1996 and 268 or 269 pounds in 1997.

262 in 1994

[Danimal77]

262 in 1994

So he was heavier in 1994 than 1993, even with the torn bicep. So where were those extra 5 to 6 pounds?

[Nether Animal]

Dorian was pretty big in '94. Certainly conceivable that he weighed more.

I don't understand the criticism for his 1994 physique. Aside from the torn bicep I think he looks great.

[Nether Animal]

His colour was way off at the finals and those are the pics most people see. Prejudging it is pretty obvious that he was the one to win.

I think he deserved to win up until and including 1995. Past that, well a case can be made for guys like Nasser and Shawn Ray.

[AbrahamG]

At his worst, he wins the ab/thigh pose, side tri, front lat spread and rear lat spread and he dominates the quarter turns.

That leaves the door open for only the fdb, most musc, side chest and back double bi.  At his best he's no slouch in these shots.

Very deserving of each and every one of his crowns.

[BSN]

We will always ask if in 1994 Dorian would have been better than in 1993, without that biceps injury ( july 12, 1994).

[NotMrAverage]

If someone can dig out his routine from 1996 german grand prix its just a freakazoid act by man. Best ive seen him. And thats post bi tear!
