Again you couldn't be any more wrong I don't rely on quotes I use them as verification of my point and pictures don't tell the whole story not by a long shot thats why I couple it with videos as well , oh and don't forget firsthand accounts add them in too and then after soaking in all the information and processing it I form an opinion and its based on intelligence , objectivity , honesty and the whole of the information , I may not always be right , but I've done my research and for you and Hulkster to claim Dorian's dryness or conditioning is a myth or even worse than Ronnie 1999 is completely laughable , its so laughable its not even worthy of a response any longer you guys believe what ever you want lol because God knows you're devoid of commonsense .
Why is it "laugable" that Ronnie 99 might have had better conditioning?
because you don't like it?

because it might be true?

because someone said dorian was the driest of all time back in 1996 well before Ronnie showed up onstage in 99?

because the arms, quads, chest, delts, glutes and hams "don't count" therefore even though Ronnie 99 was clearly drier in these areas it doesn't matter because the abs and lower back eclipse all of these?

face it ND: you are as close minded as they come.
and you are ignoring all the proof shown right in front of you.
sure, you can dismiss it as "bad quality scans of dorian" and "compressed video" and "poor quality pics" and all the other crap, but it won't do any good.
these things affect ALL bodybuilders, not just dorian.
if all these things affected appearences this much, you would never be able to tell if someone was in shape or not from any mag or any video.
in real life, it doesn't work that way.
if you are ripped, it shows in pics and videos.
if you are "doughy", it shows up just as well..
