So what? Kenny Jones has a more balanced physique than Dorian. Everything on Kenny is perfectly medicore. Does that make him a better bodybuilder? No. Bodybuilding contests are judged based on size, definition, symmetry, and shape. Ronnie's 01 ASC package meets this criteria better than Dorian.
I beg to differ. Maybe Dorian was untouchable in 93 and 95. However, the sport of bodybuilding has since then progressed with Ronnie.
Kenny Jones has great balance , but he lags behind on density , conditioning and size on Yates , bodybuilding is judged on size , conditioning ( definition ) density , and balance & proportion and I hate to break it to you kid they all favor Yates especially compared to Ronnie 2001 ASC Ronnie may have come close in conditioning but still takes a back seat in DENSITY part of the criteria you keep forgetting , size 244-247 pounds compared to 260 pounds and balance & proportion , now add in Dorian who was a master of the mandatory poses and Ronnie's advantages are nil
I beg to differ. Maybe Dorian was untouchable in 93 and 95. However, the sport of bodybuilding has since then progressed with Ronnie.
Another empty statement , pure garbage , the sport most certainly did NOT progress by 2001 , how did it? Ronnie was 244-247 pounds in 2001 thats NOT a progression in muscular bulk , Dorian was 260 pounds in 1995 , Density didn't progress from Yates to Ronnie and Dorian's type of density has still yet to be matched ( with his combo ) balance & proportion hasn't progressed especially not with Ronnie , that something you're born with kid and to quote Ronnie " has he been reborn with better balance & proportion " ? Umm NO not quite , moving on to conditioning , and please stop referring to conditioning as ' definition ' I told you thats an old term thats not used anymore , and has Ronnie progressed in terms of conditioning YES for Ronnie NOT for Dorian !
Dorian's conditioning is legendary and Ronnie was probably able to come in Yates-like a couple of times in his career 1998 and 2001 ASC , this is one area that has most certainly not progresses in bodybuilding the general consensus is conditioned mass has reached his highwater mark in the early to late 1990s ( Wow Dorian's hey-day ) and couple that with the fact that Peter McGough specifically said NO ONE was ever more bone dry & rock hard than Dorian and your empty claims of progression is tossed out the window
The only area the sport progressed in is terms of size and wow more size less condition and Dorian was one of the biggest & best conditioned guys he was 269 pounds in 1993 !! he's guest posed at 285 pounds with conditioning according to Kevin Horton that to this day still has not been surpassed , so the sport if you look at it really has progressed even by 2007 , Dorian could have competed at 285 in conditioning that would match or surpass any bodybuilder today but his focus was always the total package , size , density , condition and balance & proportion , so when you say the sport has progressed it really hasn't.
