"Old man," i'm 24 and i have been posting here since the original board was around. I could repeat what has been said about you being in denial or not looking at pictures or not admitting that coleman beats yates. But i guess you're NOT tired of that. Multibanded striations, better shape, more size and more symmetry generally equate to a better bodybuilder. But according to you they just equal small calves and a film of water.
Again you're not addressing my points ! you claimed Ronnie faced an " on " Flex thats not true , Flex was a hell of a lot better when he faced Dorian and he got his ass handed to him ! maybe you missed this quote
Shawn on Flex Wheeler
Wheeler's genetically gifted , but sometimes he would drag through his workouts when I trained with him. I thought he was awesome in his first Olympia, he placed second to Dorian. But Wheeler's NEVER again matched that condition.
its common knowledge Flex was never the same after his accident , and using Shawn Ray's quote seeing you think mine isn't accurate I proved to you using his contemporaries assessment that Ronnie never faced an " On " Flex Wheeler and if he did he would have been soundly beaten , reguardless of his new conditioning
Let me school you again , Flex magazine spotlights that Flex was off in 1998
quote Flex magazine Jan 1999
When Ronnie is 100% , Flex has to be 100% to prevail. On October 10 , 1998 , Flex wasn't and Ronnie was.
Ronnie was 100% Flex was NOT and paid the price , so genius please explain to me how Ronnie Coleman faced an " ON " Flex Wheeler in 1998? you can't , he didn't and he paid the price.
I'm now going to add insult to injury Flex Wheeler admitting he was
off at the 1998 Mr Olympia and what would happen if he was on
Flex Wheeler
It's true I didn't quite duplicate my condition at the Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic. if I'd been able to do that , I would have won EASILY !!
You're dead wrong I proved you dead wrong and I could care less how long you have been posting , you're still dead wrong , and like most of the other guys on this thread you need to learn a lot you're 24 I've been following bodybuilding since you were a baby , I've forgotten more than you can hope to learn ! don't cheery pick the criteria for things you consider to be Ronnie's strengths and omit his blatant weaknesses
Yates has striations in his lower lats lower back in the likes Ronnie never had , Dorian has striations in his chest as well , having more striations isn't going to shift a contest one way or the other , Shape? how about the shape of Ronnie's calves? how about the shape of his triceps? how about the shape of his abdominals? seratus? forearms? how about the shape of Ronnie's bitch-tits? how about the shape of his glutes that stick out and can be seen from the front? Ronnie does have an edge in shape in some parts and others he don't
More size? when not in 1998 he was down eight full pounds of muscle couple that with being an inch taller , 1999 he was the same weight as Yates but not as dry
Symmetry ? symmetry in the purest form of the word means left/right equality , both aren't exactly equal on both side of the body , in fact no one is
How about Yates advantages that the IFBB judging criteria clearly calls for , Dorian smokes Ronnie in muscular balance and proportion from one muscle to the next
How about muscle density ? Yates smoked everyone in density
How about conditioning? Yates was the biggest and dryest bodybuilder , it was his hallmark
You can pick and choose what you personally like and what you think looks better but that has NOTHING to do with what would win in a bodybuilding contest , for anyone to dismiss Yates as nothing special shows how little they know
Yates NEVER finished below second in a professional contest , that speaks volumes of how great he was , 17 contests 15 wins never placed below 2nd in a contest , Yates dominated among the highest caliber fields in the history of bodybuilding and Ronnie 1998/1999 is supposed to walk all over him
many people underestimated how great Dorian was and they all paid the price for it .
