Yes, but which is worse: that he ruined that amazing physique or that he keeps winning with a sub-par one?

winning with a sub par phyisque is fair and justified if your competition is also sub-par...relative to 1998/1999

I agree with all of the points on this thread concerning ronnie's current physque.

Problem is, all these new flaws don't matter much relative to his competition if he is still good enough to win.

In 1998/9 he faced:

Flex Wheeler
Kevin Levrone
Shawn Ray
Chris Cormier
Nasser El Sombaty

In 2004/5 he faced:

Jay Cutler
Markus Ruhl
Dexter Jackson
Gunter Schlierkamp
Gastavo Badell

Not taking anything away from today's pro's, but there is a huge difference between these lineups.

Thing is, he won over Levrone when he looked like crap.

You make a great point though.

And Coleman at his all time best, 96-99, is what should be considered when remembering him IMO.

His obliques were bulging at the ASC.

And IMO, Ronnie had the potential for competing for the Sandow from 95 and on, but didn't get the conditioning right.

Still, all that heavy training and heavy slin and GH usage have done him in.

Cutler definitely isn't the answer anymore though. He's got as big gut now.

That's the biggest shame. And the funny thing is, all these people who have been crying for Cutler to win because Ronnie has a gut, somehow seem to be ignoring Jay's gut.

Bottom line is, Ronnie is leaps and bounds ahead of this current crop of pros genetically speaking. Back in the 90s, he did not have a genetic advantage over guys like Flex and Kevin, only a work ethic advantage.

not that yates ever went off the deep end but....

Quite possibly the best of Yates I've seen.

Had he not turned himself into a chem lab, he could've had a great physique beyond Horton's 1993 pics.

King had some good potential before he went off the deep end too!!!

Here's Cutler. Man, look at that waist!!

And the amazing thing? He's really not that much more muscular today than in that pic.

Damn man you saved those? I actually delete all the shoped pics of you. No need to shop a drag queen with downs syndrome who thinks she is a bodybuilder.

The point is his obliques aren't huge and hanging over his suit. Today, they are and do. Yet, despite that gain in waist size/width, he hasn't gotten that much more muscular. Sorry if that was too complex a thought process for you.

You are too easily impressed. Get off the Jay nuthugin wagon and realize that he is just a regular bodybuilder.
