So much for Yates' supposed triceps advantage!!
Yates really lacks tri size in comparison-the definition and development's skewed around the smaller side lateral & medical heads. Fools novices who ignore the size deficiency of the long head relative to Coleman:
It doesen't really matter, because it is the lateral triceps head which is visible in this pose, and Dorian's is bigger
and he wins the pose overrall due to better serratus and calves, and comparabl vastus lateralis. Funny that you think that these pics mean anything, since:
1.
Visually, Dorian is better to
me - I just like the sick hardness and thickness of Dorian's muscularity. I never found the round muscled looked particularly fetching at all. As I
see it, Dorian's back is both wider, thicker and harder. Dorian looks thicker from the sides than Ronnie. His waist is thicker, but his abs are more separated. The aesthetics I
prefer or you
prefer is irrelevant as far as a bodybuilding contest is concerned: what matters is what the judges prefer. Skeletal structure is not even officially judged. What is officially judged in the relaxed round is overrall muscularity and the symmetrical distribution of the muscles.
However, the judges might reward a particular structure over another due to
prefering it's aesthetics. It is subjective and what look better to you does not look better to me. Sorry, you lose.

Bodybuilding is not entirely subjective - There are objective crietria that must be observed while evaluating a physique. Try to understand this. Would the 1999 Coleman defeat the 1993 or 1995 Dorian in overrall muscularity? No, actually Dorian has a slight edge at that. Would she defeat him in overrall symmetry? Except when standin relaxed from the front, Dorian actually has better taper than Ronnie, and he has less symmetrical weaknesses. Ronnie's symmetrical weaknesses includes the following: no calves, large glutes, disproportional deltoid heads, a distended gut which can be seen both from the sdies and front and biceps that overpower his arms. Dorian's symmetrical liabilities are only two: bad taper in
one angle from
one position and small biceps for his arms. That's it. So Dorian wins or ties the muscularity round and the symmetry round. As for conditioning, Ronnie has more separations overrall, but Dorian looks harder. A mute point.

Dorian is more muscular and symmetrical from most angles. Which results in him winning:
Back double biceps - thicker back with as many separations, smaller glutes, equivalent hams and better calves.
Rear lat spread - Their taper is equivalent, but Dorian's lats spread wider
and he also has all teh symmetrical advantages elucidated above over Ronnie.
Side tris - Thicker lateral triceps head, equivalent vastus lateralis, better serratus and cvalves.
Abs-and-thighs - Better taper, wider lats and more separated abs/serratus. Ronnie only has an edge in quads.
Front lat spread - Better taper and wider lats. Ronnie, again, only takes quads.
They tie:
Side chest - Equivalent pectoralis with, perhaps, a smalle edge to Ronnie. Regardless, Dorian has better calves and equivalent vastus lateralis.
