hulkster, speak on this

[240 is Back]

Brutal language barrier.

[delta9mda]

wide bloated waist 

[nicorulez]

Boring...this is getting dull.  No contest.

[delta9mda]

moster calves. respectfully, nico, this is not to be a dorian -ronnie thread. im just teasing hulkster and well...where is the giant waist?

[rocket]

That pic of ronnie comprehensively takes care of dorian.

[nicorulez]

Delta, no offense man  .  I saw a challenge, I thought I can take this up in no time.  Agreed, the Ronnie vs Dorian threads are getting old.  The fact is that bodybuilding has progressed and the champions of yesterday cannot compete effectively with the champs of today.  Ronnie is better than Dorian.  He is better than Haney, although Haney was incredibly aesthetic.  In ten or twenty years, there will likely be a freak that is 320 pounds ripped with tight abs and a bigger back than Coleman and Yates ever dreamed of having.  Then, we will have the "Was Ronnie better than _____?"   It is the inevitability of the sport.  People are now trying to compare Lebron to Jordan, but the kid is still green around the ears. We shall see.

That pic takes care of everybody!

[tommywishbone]

I think Thin Lizzy might be right.

 The glute/ham separation is so sharp it looks like you would cut your tongue if you tried to lick it

very nice, Lucius. 

[LuciusFox]

very nice, Lucius. 

   It's true though

[delta9mda]

   It's true though

whoooooooooossssshhhhhhhhhh

[LuciusFox]

whoooooooooossssshhhhhhhhhh

 whoooooooooossssshhhhhhh hhh ....what does that mean?

[Hulkster]

 LOL, as you can see its not hard to own Dorian when you look like the pre-gut Ronnie.

Yates looked good in the relaxed back pose, great in the "christmas tree pose" but sub-par in the back double bi.

This is why Yates back is nowhere near as good as everyone says it is:

everyone forgets that his back double bi was not so great.




dorian had the widest waist of any mr. olympia in history..

[LuciusFox]

 Dorian is as hard and as shapeless as a stone

[airrick]

the judges will not look at dorian's waist relaxed... remember that! judges only see competitors on stage while flexing and showin off their respected poses.  If he can flex his big ass belly into a diameter size of a coffee straw, then that's how judges will see it.

[NarcissisticDeity]

lol subpar , the pics you posted were from 1997 no where near his best , but you are infamous for that .

[NarcissisticDeity]

Here is Yates going toe to toe with Haney and for you to say his back double bicep shot is subpar is nonsense , Dorian has a much better lowerback than Lee and comparable width & thickness , if you notice Yates doesn't really raise his arms up when doing this pose , he keeps his fists about eye level , I think it would be more effective if he rasied them higher , but he is more than holding his own with the legend .

[Hulkster]

 For A bodybuilder who supposedly (according to a few) has the "worlds greatest back", yes, its sub-par.

[natural al]

I like how hulkster always says "pre gut ronnie" but then goes on to post pics of post tear Dorian..Kinda a double standard, don't ya think?

[Al-Gebra]

realize that's a lighter Yates . . . but i have new respect for Haney's back now.
