there you go with the yates 10 weeks out from competing pic and a shot of ron onstage. nice 
ummm..his arms, chest, quads and delts didn't look ANY better on stage so whats your point?


if Yates had oil on in the second shot, you would hardly be able to tell them apart...

Yates had glaring flaws that were not just because he was in the offseason. He had them year round, in contest shape or not.
His arms don't magically gain shape, size and definition onstage. Onstage they were still out of balance, still unshapely, and still smooth.
Sorry, but its true - look at the stage pics..
