Yes, and at that period in time the hardest physique that looked carved out of granite.

There were periods during Sergio, Arnold, Haney, Yates and Ronnie when they were just head and shoulders above everyone else and if they came in in basically decent shape with no injury it was always a battle for 2nd.   The magazines tried to hype things up, but come contest day everyone knew this.

I saw Haney/Gaspari at their peaks in late 80s in Columbus, Gaspari was amazing, but Haney was easily the winner.

Yates was the pinnacle of bodybuilding and has never been matched.

I 100% agree with you and I wasn't a fan of his physique and I'm not a fan of him post bodybuilding. But that doesn't take away anything from his physique especially 1993.

When Jay started winning in 2006 it was all down hill. The fridge’s physique just sucks balls

He seemed to have this pattern: Win decisively; squeak by; lose!

2006 (Win decisively), 2007 (Squeak by), 2008 (Lose), 2009 (Win decisively), 2010 (Squeak by), 2011 (Lose).

So is Dorian Yates' 1993 photo shoot. What's your point?

I beg to differ. Jackson, Heath (his first three years), Rhoden, and Curry looked great.
