ha ha ha, it's too easy to defeat you. Ronnie in 99 had full round muscle bellies and a small waist, and weighed the same as 95 Dorian. It's not farfetched that Dorian was carrying extra weight in his huge midsection. Just look at the damn thing. I wouldn't be surprised if he was carrying 10-15 lbs more than Ronnie in there.
I was refering especifically to the 2001 ASC Ronnie. But yes, the example is valid when applied to the 1999 Ronnie, too, although to a lesser extent. Here's more or less what I said:
"So the 1995 Dorian is
slightly more muscular than the 1999 Ronnie, but
much more than the 2001 ASC Ronnie."
Why is this example still valid when it comes to the 1999 Ronnie? Simple:
- Ronnie was heavier in 1999 than at the 2001 ASC, but he had a distended gut, which he lacked at the 2001 ASC. This means not all of the extra weight he had in 1999 was lean mass.
- Dorian's hips and waist are wider, but his stomach is flat. Ronnie's waist is smaller, but his gut protrudes forward = they are even here.
- Dorian and Ronnie weighted the same, with similar bodyfat levels = they are even here.
- Dorian had less subcutaneous water at the same weight = more lean muscle mass.
- Dorian's muscles had less intramuscular water - the reason why his muscles look flatter than Ronnie's = more lean mass per pound.
- Dorian's bones are thicker, but Ronnie's are denser = they are even here.
Conclusion: mathematically and logically, odds are that, as I've already elucidated, Dorian was slightly more muscular than the 1999 Ronnie.
Owned...yet again.
