but don't forget that Ronnie's quads in 98 were smooth compared to 99.
this is specifically mentioned in ironman's magazine review of the 99 show. Ronnie is praised for dramatically improving his quad cuts.
So, not all areas were harder in 98 than in 99.
besides, I think everyone can agree that the SLIGHT difference in hardness was worth the extra fullness and size.
Look at it this way:
Ronnie in 98 vs 99 was no different than dorian in 92 vs. 93.
In both cases they put on size and increased their fullness but BOTH of them lost some hardness as a result..Shawn Ray mentions dorian's 93 loss of hardess in the Flex mag review of the contest...and like ND loves to say, he was there!
However, BOTH of them looked better for it, because the loss in hardess was minimal compared to the dramatic increase in fullness:
Why do you type? why continue to embarrass yourself? Dorian's hardness in no way , shape or form suffered from 1992-1993 once again you showcase how little you know , I have every magazine coverage from the 1993 Mr Olympia , and you're full of shit saying Shawn Ray mentions Dorian's ' loss ' of hardness , now you're making shit up because you have nothing to work with , I will always call you out on your bullshit kid
I.F.B.B. judge Roger Schwab
Man-mountain Dorian Yates was certainly the top gun in the 1993 Mr Olympia shootout.
He was much bigger , better and harder than ever , and while his is never the prettiest physique on stage , he's assuredly the most God-awful muscular superman this sport has yet seen. Though Yates was lighter than Lou Ferrigno or Paul Dillett , he appeared to be the biggest man on stage-by far- and the hardest , dominating from beginning to end and every step in between.
eight time Mr Olympia winner Lee Haney on Dorian Yates as he appeared at the 1993 Mr Olympia
" No doubt about it , Dorian was the winner . He's gotten bigger , with even more
muscularity and detail. Fantastic! Out of sight. Y'know he was over and beyond a champion. He knows his body . It'll be hard for anyone to unseat him . "
When I get home from work I'll post more quotes of how Dorian was just ad hard & dry as 1992 while being 15 pounds heavier , so try doing some research before you make any more stupid claims because whenever you stumble I'll be there to correct you and your bullshit , and Oh I have Flex magazine's coverage from the 1993 Mr Olympia and I'll be looking for your claim from Shawn
