Yes, wider. It's simple arithmatic, you idiot. Dorian is 270 lbs in the pic I posted, Ronald is 257 lbs in the pic you posted; so, Dorian is wider. Hell, the 257 lbs Dorian from 1993 had a much wider back than Coleman at the 1999 Olympia. You're seriously deceiving yourself is you think Ronnie is a match for Dorian in back width in any version except his 2003 and 2004 ones.

You display a gross misunderstanding of anatomy. The width of the lats is limited by the length of the clavicles. Both Dorian and Ronnie have almost the same clavicle length. Therefore, any differences in their lat width is miniscule - maybe 1-2 inches at most. You make it seem like Dorian's back was a foot wider than Ronnie's.

Quote
If the 257 lbs has more back width than the equally heavy Ronnie, then I'm sorry, but he 270 lbs Dorian desroys your boy in back width. Here's a pic of Dorian at 269 lbs, where his back width destroys Ronnie in the same category in any year except 2003 - I know Dorian wasn't this wide at the 1993 Olympia, but I chose this pic because it shows the level of width Dorian had in 1997, when he compeed around this weight.

Why the hell are you comparing Dorian and Ronnie from years other than their bests?

And the bottom line is that Dorian's side triceps shot is superior: flatter stomach, more separated serratus, longer and more striated triceps, etc. Ronnie could never, in a million years, have a side triceps shot as good as this.

ha ha ha, riiiiiiiiiiight. ::)

That's not what you said earlier. ;)

I read your post. Singing a different tune are we since I called you out? Earlier you claimed the triceps are not important in the front double biceps.


  The triceps are less important in this mandatory than they are in the side triceps. The triceps are relatively small muscles and their relevance overrall is not that great. Sure, the size of he triceps are taken into account during the relaxed round when it comes to overrall muscularity. But the bottom line is that the lateral head of the triceps is the most visible one; thus, a mandatory was created to showcase it. This mandatory evaluates the muscularity and shape of the lateral triceps head, as well as the calves, the serratus and the middle three deltoid heads. And also hardness and donditioning. And when taking all of this into account, Dorian flat out destroys Ronnie in this mandatory.

Quote
You also suggested Ronnie's superior arm development is not due in part to triceps. Now you act like you have always agreed with me Ronnie's triceps are superior in the front double biceps. Nice try!

  You chose Ronnie's 2003 version because you think his size advantage would give him an edge that would be too much for Dozer to overcome. ell, you're wrong. Bigger is only better if the structure doesen't suffer. Sure: Ronnie had greater arms than Dorian in 2003, after all, he was 30 lbs heavier. The thing is that Ronnie's side triceps is even worse in his 2003 form than in his 1998/9 forms. Why? Because his gut stick out from the sides. This makes Ronnie lose this mandatory flat out in symmetry. To make it even worse, Ronnie's serratus separations are non-existent and his calves - extrmely visible in this shot - are a great liability. Ronnie loses, regardless of having larger triceps. I'll match Dorian's side triceps from the 1995 Olympia against Ronnie's in 2003 any day!

Quote
You claimed the triceps don't matter in the front double biceps. In reality, the triceps comprise almost 2/3 of the upper arm. This is significant in a pose meant to show off the arms.

  No, no, no. You got that wrong. This mandatory was created o showcase the biceps: that's why it's the front double biceps. The triceps are of minor importance in this shot. Like I said, Ronnie 2003 does defeat Dorian in overrall triceps mass, but he wins the front double biceps due to his superior biceps. Not triceps. Ronnie's greater triceps muscularity is only taken into account in the relaxed round. Why? Because the mndatories were created to showcase specific muscles and the overrall symmery of this muscle in relation to the overrall musculature in the body. This is why all mandatories have names indicating specific muscle groups, hence "rear lat spread", "abs-and-thighs", side chest", etc. Overrall arm size is only relevant when it comes to udging overrall musculature, and has no relevance in specific mandtories. Oh, and also, Ronnie's biceps compromise the symmetry of his arms overrall, because tey overpower both his triceps and forearms. Hemight win in overrall arm muscularity, but loses in symmetry. Thus, it's a pyrric victory for Ronnie.
Quote
You cannot penalize Ronnie for his unbalanced calves and then claim Dorian's weak triceps aren't a liability. This is a double standard. If you say the triceps don't matter in a front double biceps, then calves aren't really important either.

  Ugh, what a flawed analogy! ::) Dorian's triceps are not "weak", in the sense that they're massive, dense and striated and in proportion to his biceps. They may not be as muscular as the 2003 Ronnie's triceps, but they are massive enough to, when combined with Dorian's superior calves, forearms, flatter stomach wih superior serratus separations and more shapely deltoids, make him defeat Ronnie in the side triceps mandatory. Ronnie's calves, conversely, are grossly unproportional with his quadriceps and, unlike the inner and medial triceps heads, are visible in all side and bac mandatories. I agree that Ronnie's calves, ust like Dorian's inner and medial triceps heads, are not severe liabilities in specific mandtories. But I assure you that they're much, much greater liabilities from and overrall symmetrical and uscularity standpoints than Dorian's inner and medial triceps heads. Why? Because Ronnie's calves are farmore visible and out of proportion with the rest of his physique than Dorian's inner and medial triceps heads!

Quote
Simply put, you cannot provide evidence where Dorian looks better during the symmetry round. I posted pics of Ronnie in 03 with no gut distension at 287 lbs.

  That's because Ronnie is sucking in his belly in the pics you posted. When he relaxed, his abdominal cavity protruded forward horribly. To me it even worse, Ronnie had no cuts in his abdominal region when compared to the 1995 Olympia Dorian. Ge over it: Dorian's midsection is superior, with a flatter stomach and more separated abdominals and serratus.

Quote
The fact is Ronnie kept his stomach under control when it counted. All you can do is post pics of Ronnie standing relaxed backstage or in the middle of transition. The last time I checked, these 'poses' aren't judged. I offer you proof once again that Ronnie didn't have a distended gut during the symmetry round.

  To me, "when it counts" includes having no gut distension when standing relaxed, and the bottom line is that Ronald had... ;)

  Non-sensical. People with clavicles differing in size go on to develop remarkably different lats, both in shape and size. First of all, i don't even know if it's true that Dorian and Ronnie have similar sized clavicles. And even if they did, it would be absolutely immaterial to this discussion. You lose. By the way, my knowledge of anatomy, whatever it might be, is clearly enough for me to destroy you. ;D ;)

According to IFBB judging criteria, every muscle is surveyed in each mandatory pose. Just ask ND. He seems to think forearms, abs, and calves are just as important as chest, arms, and legs.

Ronnie is sucking in his gut while he's posing? No shit!!! That has to top your list of idiotic comments in this thread. Every bodybuilder tries to minimize their flaws during judging. Show me 1 bodybuilder who purposely tries to stick out his gut. If Ronnie can hold in his stomach when it counts, then he shouldn't be penalized. It doesn't matter how far his gut protrudes backstage. By the way, I never said Ronnie's midsection is better. Nice little strawman there buddy!

and as far as Ronnie vs dorian lat width:

sucky, you are neglecting to take into consideration taper.



242 pound Dorian vs 245 pound ronnie (1992 and 1998 Mr. O's).

Dorian's shoulder to waist differential is not as impressive as Ronnie's.

Given that their lats are almost equally wide, this means that Ronnie's lats would certainly appear wider standing side by side.

1. dorian's triceps were never really striated.

in fact, they were quite smooth





2. the only reason dorian's triceps are in proportion with his biceps is that Dorian's biceps are small too 8)

Ronnie's lats wouldn't appear wider, he would just have a slightly better taper, which wouldn't mean much. In these 2 shots, everything is a push except for calves. Dorian would win this back relaxed pose. From the front, Ronnie would win though for the same reason Dorian wins this rear shot, more detail.

yes it would.

taper is very important.

again, with proper judging, qualities such as taper, shape and detail should have been emphasized more..

instead, size without attention to shape was all that mattered:

  Not only would Dorian defeat Ronnie in the side triceps comparison, but it wouldn't even be close. The fact that you prefer the 2003 Ronnie goes to show what a boybuilding newbo you are. The 2003 Ronnie might have the bigger triceps, but Dorian's triceps is more striated, denser and more shapely. His forearms are more massive, even though he's outweighted by 30 lbs. So, while Ronnie might win in triceps muscularity, he loses in everything else. Consider that, in this mandatory, Dorian's calves is more massive than Ronnie's and his serratus, which are visible in this shot, are more separated. So, Dorian takes Ronnie out in triceps and deltoid shape, calve muscularity and also in symmetry, because Dorian's gut is flat an his serratus are visible. The only thing Ronnie has on Dorian, in this shot, is triceps size, by a small margin. Ronnie's triceps might be bigger, but Dorian's has a triangular shape Ronnie can only dream of and is muh more striated. Putting Dorian's symmetrical advantage into the equation, there's no question about it: Dorian takes it. This is the last time I've addressed this. It's pointless to argue this with you because,ust like PraetorFenix, you believe that sheer muscle diameter is everything that matters. By this criteria, than the horrendous Ronnie from the 2004 Olympia would be even "better". ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

Quote
I'll match 03 Ronnie's front double biceps, rear double biceps, front lat spread, rear lat spread, side chest, side tri, and most muscular to 95 Dorian's any day! ;D

  First of all, in an unbiased show, Ronnie's gut distension would make him flat out lose the symmetry round, so there goes half the points! Remember that symmetry is measured by two things when it comes to a bodybuilding show: the relative size of the muscles in relation to each other and of the skeletal structure. Ronnie loses the symmetry roun flat out because his misection ruins the entire proportions of his physique, yes, but also because Ronnie has stumpish legs and a long torso. These are structural flaws Dorian doesen't have.

  Now, I agree with you, that he 2003 Coleman, would defeat Dorian in overrall muscularity. but remember that musculariy, like symmetry, is not evaluated on it's own, but also in the context of the mandatories. And here is where Dorian destroys your boy. In most of the manatories, Ronnie's advantage in overrall muscularity men little, because he fails miserably in many other things.

Rear lat spread - Ronnie 2003 might have surpassed Dorian for latissimus width, ok, but the difference is far less dramatic than many of the Coleman fans makes it to be. Remember that if there's one area that the 257 lbs Dorian remained comparable to Ronnie, when the latter ballooned to 280+ lbs, was the back. Ronnie might have a slight advantage in width, but Dorian takes him out in christmas-tree thikness and overrall back separations. consider that Dorian's teres maor and minor, his latissimus and infra-spinatus are all isible, whih is not he case for the 2003 Ronnie. Dorian also has better balance in this mandatory, since, unlike Ronnie, he doesen't have a giant ass and his calves are diamond-shaped and massive whih is not the case for Coleman. The primary goal of this mandatory is to showcase lat width and Dorian can match Ronnie for that. And when you take into onsideration Dorian's superior back separations and balane, it's over for Ronnie.

Back double biceps- Ronnie has the better biceps, so he might win this one. Unfortunately for Coleman, he simply can't match Dorian in this shot for overrall details when he's over 280 lbs - the 249 lbs Ronnie from 1998 is a different story - and his giant ass and sub-par calves are isible as well. But since Ronald has the better biceps, I'll give you this one.

Side chest - I don't know how Ronnie is better in this shot. I think Dorian's pectoralis maor and minor are lerly separated and massive in this shot. Dorian's chest is also striated. Dorian has much better calves and his serratus is separated in this shot, which can't be said about Ronnie. Ronnie might have a slight advantage in pec bulge - which is ecpected, since he outweights Dorian by 30 lbs -, but it is far less dramati than you make it to be: Dorian's pecs were massive, full and round cantalous in this shot.

Side triceps -  ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::).

  He is wrong about this: mandatories have the purpose of showcasing the muscular development and the quality of a specific muscle in a specific angle, and how this development is in proportion to the other muscles around it. For instance, Dorian defeats the 2003 Ronnie at everthing else in the back double biceps pose, but since the primary goal of this mandtory is to evaluate the development and quality of the biceps from behind, nd since Ronnie's biceps are superior to Dorian's both in size and quality, he takes this mandatory. Never mind that Dorian's middle back is thicker or that his upper back has more separations or that he is more symmetrical; Ronnie still takes it because his biceps are better. You lose...when you get ired of the pain, let me know, and I'll put you out of your misery. ;D ;)

Quote

  Exactly the reason Ronnie is able to win or tie Dorian in the back double biceps or side chest, despite what his sub-par calves does to his overrall symmetry. Remember, however, that, as I said, muscularity and symmery are evaluated in the mandatories and in the relaxed round. While Ronnie's calves don't hinder him too much in the mandatories, it represents a severe liability in the relaxed round, both when it comes to overrall muscularity as well as symmetry.

Dorian, conversely, at close to 260 lbs, still had a flat stomach and abominal an serratus separations that were as goo as Shawn Ray's(see below). Frankly, I've answered your sophomoric points before, when debating PraetorFenix, and I'm tired of quoting myself en absurdum. ;)

1996 was Coleman's best condition ever. Although he was the same weight as here as te 99O, he was much more dense and developed in 99, although not quite as conditioned. Sadly, his midsection never looked that good when he became Mr. O.

Sucky, arguing with you is pointless b/c you are all talk and no show. You keep making comments like "Dorian's triceps were more striated" and "Ronnie's gut would make him lose the symmetry round" yet the pics show otherwise. I'm not even sure which version of Dorian you are arguing for b/c you keep alternating between 93, 95, and 96. I will use the 95 Dorian in my assessment.

Not only would Dorian defeat Ronnie in the side triceps comparison, but it wouldn't even be close. The fact that you prefer the 2003 Ronnie goes to show what a boybuilding newbo you are. The 2003 Ronnie might have the bigger triceps, but Dorian's triceps is more striated, denser and more shapely. His forearms are more massive, even though he's outweighted by 30 lbs. So, while Ronnie might win in triceps muscularity, he loses in everything else. Consider that, in this mandatory, Dorian's calves is more massive than Ronnie's and his serratus, which are visible in this shot, are more separated. So, Dorian takes Ronnie out in triceps and deltoid shape, calve muscularity and also in symmetry, because Dorian's gut is flat an his serratus are visible. The only thing Ronnie has on Dorian, in this shot, is triceps size, by a small margin. Ronnie's triceps might be bigger, but Dorian's has a triangular shape Ronnie can only dream of and is muh more striated. Putting Dorian's symmetrical advantage into the equation, there's no question about it: Dorian takes it.

Ronnie's side tri pose in 03 was just as good, if not better, than Dorian's. He certainly wouldn't get destroyed by Dorian. Ronnie had thicker pecs from top to bottom. Dorian's lower pecs overpowerd his upper. He always looked like he had tits when he hit this pose. Ronnie's lateral heads were just as large as Dorian's and had striations. Dorian's lateral heads looked smooth in 95. Ronnie had deeper separations in his quads and his hamstrings were striated. Even his midsection looked pretty flat. I don't think his "gut" would affect his symmetry b/c he had the overall mass to compensate for it.





Here's a high resolution close-up of Dorian's lateral head so you see for yourself it wasn't striated.

These are structural flaws Dorian doesen't have.

What gut distension? I challenged you earlier to find me pics where Dorian looks better than this during the symmetry round. So far you haven't answered my challenge. ;)

Rear lat spread - Ronnie 2003 might have surpassed Dorian for latissimus width, ok, but the difference is far less dramatic than many of the Coleman fans makes it to be. Remember that if there's one area that the 257 lbs Dorian remained comparable to Ronnie, when the latter ballooned to 280+ lbs, was the back.

And when you take into onsideration Dorian's superior back separations and balane, it's over for Ronnie.

Dorian's back in 95 lacked separation compared to Ronnie's in the rear lat spread. His traps seemed to blend with his lats and his 'christmas tree' wasn't crisp like Ronnie's. Dorian's glutes and hamstrings looked smooth. He also lacked the quad sweep to balance his legs with his upper body.

Back double biceps- Ronnie has the better biceps, so he might win this one. Unfortunately for Coleman, he simply can't match Dorian in this shot for overrall details when he's over 280 lbs - the 249 lbs Ronnie from 1998 is a different story - and his giant ass and sub-par calves are isible as well. But since Ronald has the better biceps, I'll give you this one.

I couldn't find any decent pics of Dorian's back double biceps in 95. I agree Dorian had better detail than Ronnie in this pose. However, the difference in muscularity is greater than the difference in detail. Not even Dorian's back in 97 could match Ronnie's in width or thickness. Dorian's sub-par arms cancel out Ronnie's sub-par calves. Ronnie wins!



Quote
Side chest - I don't know how Ronnie is better in this shot. I think Dorian's pectoralis maor and minor are lerly separated and massive in this shot. Dorian's chest is also striated. Dorian has much better calves and his serratus is separated in this shot, which can't be said about Ronnie. Ronnie might have a slight advantage in pec bulge - which is ecpected, since he outweights Dorian by 30 lbs -, but it is far less dramati than you make it to be: Dorian's pecs were massive, full and round cantalous in this shot.

Sorry, but it wouldn't even be close. Ronnie's pecs, delts, arms, quads, and hamstrings destroy Dorian's. However, I will give Dorian the nod in serratus and calves. ::)

I assure you I'm not a newbie when it comes to bodybuilding. If I remember correctly, you thought the rhomboids are visible and you keep getting your dates for the Mr. Olympias wrong. It shouldn't matter how a competitor looks when he's backstage or in the middle of transition. The mandatory poses were designed for a reason. If you want to penalize Ronnie for having a gut when he wasn't being judged, then Dorian never should have won the 95 Mr. Olympia looking like this.

taper is very important.

again, with proper judging, qualities such as taper, shape and detail should have been emphasized more..

instead, size without attention to shape was all that mattered:


 :-\


  What a stupid argument. Seriously, the reason why this thread doesen't die is because Hulkster refuses to admit, that any version of Ronnie, would have a very hard time defeating the Dorian who showed up for the 1993 and 1995 Olympias. No matter how much he goes on and on about Ronnie's superior shape, details, vascularity, etc, it is only Hulkster's opinion that the 1999 Coleman would defeat Dorian based on his alleged siperiority on these things. The fact is that there's no evidence whatsoever that this would happen.

  Bodybuilding has only three obective criterias, with all the rest being up to the udges to decide: muscularity, symmetry and the conditioning with which the former two are presented. The man who presents the best combination of muscularity and symmetry, in most of the mandatories, is the one who wins the show. And here is no evidence that the 1999 Coleman would defeat the 1993 Dorian in the mandatories for both symmetry and muscularity. The facts are these:

 - The 1993 Dorian takes the 1999 Ronnie in overrall muscularity.

 - The 1993 Dorian takes Ronnie out in conditioning(density + dryness)

 - Symmetry is a tie, because even though Ronnie has a better taper, Dorian has more etched abdominals and his lower body is more balanced.

 - Details, vascularity and all the other things Ronnie is better than Dorian are not officially evaluated, so it's up to the udges to decide whether Ronnie's smaller but more separated muscle mass is better than Dorian's less separated but larger and harder muscle mass.

 - Of the seven mandatories, Ronnie would only convincingly defeat Dorian at one, the front double biceps. Dorian, conversely, would soundly defeat Ronnie at three: the abs-and-thighs, the side triceps and the rear lat spread(wider lats, thicker middle back, cales are better, etc). The side chest, the back double biceps and the front lat spread are debatable. In the side chest, Dorian's pecs are as thick as Ronnie's in 1999, but with much better calves, and extreme serratus definition. In the front lat spread, Ronnie might have a smaller waist, but Dorian's lats flare wider and his midsection is superior. The bck double biceps, Ronnie has better biceps and that's it. Dorian's back is thicker, denser and his separations are as good as Ronnie's.

  So there...let's cut this crap about how Ronnie would defeat Dorian flat out, Hukster, because it is only your opinion that he would. The fact is that Dorian would come into the contest with more and denser mass than Ronnie, and his overrall symmetry would be as good as Ronnie's. The udges might agree with you that Ronnie has more "refinement" and give him the nod based on that. Ok. I'm the first to admit that Ronnie might defeat Dorian at his best, but that it would definitely be no domination on Ronald's part and that, considering Dorian's superior muscularity, lower body balnce and midsection, odds are that the they would give the victory to Dorian, based on the accepted standarfs of how a bodybuilding show is evaluated. Your opinion is that the 1999 Ronnie would flat out destroy the 1993 or 1995 Dorian; the fact is that odds are that Dorian would win, but that, even if he lost, it would be very, very close. C'mon, admit it and end the the nonsense. >:(

SUCKMYMUSCLE

P.S: Dorian's taper was bad? Bullshit! His taper was not fantastic, but it was good enough to make him win the symmetry round with straight-firsts scores. ;)

Ronnie's gut distension would make him flat out lose the symmetry round, so there goes half the points!

sucky, given that you feel this way, please comment on the following pic:

In Hulkster's defense, Sucky used that pic of Dorian's rear lat spread in his argument. You cannot fault Hulkster for Sucky's bad choice of pics.
