How did Dorian Yates become Mr. Olympia?

[tacobender]

Staying in England and training at a small gym definitely added to his mystique.

what about his package

He had great arms prior to the injuries.

His biceps weren't peaked but they were better than Haney's.. again, prior to the injuries.

His triceps and forearms were awesome. His side tricep is one of the best shots in the history of the sport.

Even without the tear(s) his torso became to big later on.

Pic says it all.

[rick doot]

Lifting weights, anabolic chicken, peach cobbler, bio identical hormones and a nutrient cocoon.

[tacobender]

Pic says it all.

his body was almost perfect it’s just his biceps had wierd insertions

[Eric2]

Pic says it all.

This is the Olympia that changed my opinion of pro bodybuilding forever.
On a flight to Mexico I had just purchased a new musclemag and was glad to have it for the flight.
I heard Dorian won yet not until flipping to the pages filled with these photos did I reize just how bad he looked.
To be crowned Mr Olympia looking like this was pathetic.
Dorian was not looking good in these shots by a mile for sure. I get how he won, beat enough competitors with the mandatory poses, score enough points and walk off with the trophy
Yet holy shit, how can the most prestigious competition that gets worldwide views allow such a travesty to be crowned the best of the best.
I tossed the mag in the trash once I landed.
Dorians era of judges destroyed bodybuilding and it's never been the same since

[Grape Ape]

While not at his best, he still looked like this in 97.

And those muscletime photos never show conditioning right.  They always look sub par every year.

They used to be very reluctant to unseat a reigning Olympia.

nah dorian sucked
Should have lost in 96, 97 and 94. He was ok in his prime. Like a slighter bigger, more condtion bob chickerillo

[Royalty]

Dorian was way off 1994

But he still had the demeanor and the presence of an Olympia winner

[tacobender]

I remember just being about eight years old the year he tore his bike, but I always thought his arms looked weird. I didn’t realize it was a tear. He looked  like shit that year.

I’m sure that you were closely monitoring Dorian’s bicep injury at age 8. 🙄

[joswift]

I’m sure that you were closely monitoring Dorian’s bicep injury at age 8. 🙄

its one of his most traumatic childhood experiences.

[pamith]

Small biceps, smal triceps, small quads, big gut, narrow shoulders, shallow chest. He lucky the only other big guy was Nasser who had no back.

Bro...

[SF1900]

I think in that picture at least one bicep was torn.

Eric, this sounds like a pretty earth shattering experience for you.

I've been trying to read the entire thread but it's too much, I'll say this though, the best bodybuilder in the world was Arnold, but my ''favorite'' bodybuilder is Dorian, he was just so dominant, because of his freaky size and muscle hardness, his back was massive, I argue he had the best back ever (some may disagree), his legs were outstanding, both in shape and size, his biceps were good IMO, prior his injury, Dorian was the real deal. While his competition looked like pretty round balloons filled with water, Dorian actually look like a walking rock, he seemed like he was made of granite and he was aesthetic IMO, what made his physique mind-blowing was those lats, just an insane back development, and possibly the best calves ever. His thighs and hamstrings, glute tie-ins were phenomenal, his conditioning was just sick, yes he had some flaws, especially after his injuries, but he brought something new and exciting to the sport. I personally thought Dorian in 1992 looked incredible, but 1993 version of Dorian just shocked the world, it was something incredible

Haha, yeah, it's a real fucking battle. This 4-page thread composed mainly of photos is almost tome-like in its content. Reminds me of Tolstoy's War and Peace. How's the new relationship with the 24-year-old stunner going, fat nikka? What's his name?

I'm not fat, relax, and she's 26. Tbh the relationship is rocky because she lives in another state

Sorry to hear that, bro. Best wishes. Take a photo of your meaty hog on the flip-phone and invite her to come stay in the biggest state in the US: your apartment.

Unchain her and maybe she can move closer.
