Now pay attention this is specific to Ronnie Coleman lol While I’m on record as saying that the best physique I ever saw was Ronnie’s at the 2001 Arnold, he was never drier or harder than Dorian. In fact now that – 14 years after it happened – I recently for the first time saw the video of Dorian posing before the 1993 Olympia I have cause to rethink. I’m now not sure that Ronnie at 245 pounds would beat Dorian at 269 pounds. At a bigger bodyweight I think Ronnie would look soft next to an in-shape rock-hard Dorian.On the subject of conditioning, no-one did it better than Dorian. He achieved a hardness and dryness (without losing fullness) that nobody has ever matched. In the flesh he looked even harder than he did in photos. It was like a statue made of granite was standing in front of you.Dorian Yates 4. A lot of people say that you are the only pro bodybuilder that could go head to head with Ronnie Coleman. Like him, you were the only other to be able to gain so much mass in one year. What are your thoughts on this?A. I get asked that question all the time, and I can’t really give an answer. I have actually beaten Ronnie, but then he wasn’t at the stage he is now. He is probably carrying more muscle than I did, but I feel I had better conditioning than him. It would be close but that’s down to the judge’s decision as always. All the things that we have in common – Lee Haney, Ronnie Coleman and myself – is that we are all stable mentally, training hard, not messing around partying. You have to keep the focus and it’s usually the mind that is the deciding factor, over physical capabilities.Peter Mcgough "These words should not be taken lightly, because no bodybuilder has ever been as hard and dry as the man who won six Sandows."Lee PriestHOW DO YOU FEEL DORIAN WOULD FAIR AGAINST RONNIE COLEMAN NOW?I think Dorian at his best (1993) would easily beat Ronnie. Dorian might not be as symmetrical as Ronnie, but all over he was more complete and in better condition at his best.Peter McGoughHe was 269 pounds of rock-hard shapely (yes, shapely) head-to-toe muscle. I had never seen anything like it. Kevin Horoton GetBig Dec 30thThe photo is technically terrible, fortunately the physique is awesome.I'd agree with Kris about Dorian showing up on stage how he looked a few weeks out. There are some shots of him at around 280 - 285 shredded. That conditioning has not been surpassed.Dorian's conditioning is better than Ronnie Coleman's ! anyone who disagrees is an idiot I've proven my case.
what about all the pro ronnie quotes? do they mean nothing, since there are equal amounts of pro quotes on either side, how can they be used as arguments. when the pics are a much better comparison. barely anyone agrees with you, the polls are against you, the majority of people on this forum etc etc.. your delusional.
Doesn't matter. Ronnie beats him in every single shot, whether the original or altered. Just give it up already, son.
Yates is just murdering Coleman on that back relaxed shot. Yates is absolute perfect in that shot, head to toe. Coleman's lower body is RUBBISH compared to Yates.
You just owned yourself by posting that comparison Hulkster Dorian's back is superior to Coleman's. It's bigger, drier, more ripped, and his lats insert far lower. I see you also cropped out Coleman's twigs calves from that shot
yes, because I work for muscletime.. go home pubes.just wait until the 99 muscletime pics are up.you guys are going to be shitting your pants.
bwhaahahahahaha the irony is that ND's a punkass, telling everyone else they're kids LOLColeman here clearly dominating Levrone's width. Levrone wider than Yates...Coleman >>> Yates re: width AND taper LOL
congrats, you posted a shot where Yates hasn't even spread his lats yet
yates does have better back separation than ronnie, but ronnie's back has thickness and taper that dorian can't match.the yates side is in complete denial....
Again answer the question , is the reason your screencaps don't match the ones already posted is because they are from a VHS copy and not a DVD copy?
the yates side is in complete denial....
