Dorian may have been "dense" looking but the fact of the matter is this:
he lacked the striations and detail to make the density of his muscles truly stand out.
for example, for all those who say Ronnie is "not as dense as dorian" look at these shots:
Dorian never looked this dry-except for ONE SINGLE bodypart: the lower back.
so, for starters, the whole idea that Dorian "was more dense than Ronnie (when Ronnie was in shape) is wrong.
Secondly, the whole premise of this entire thread is flawed, simply because dorian
lacked the detail in his arms and legs so being dense didn't really matter:
What good is being dense when your arms and legs look like this, even when in great shape.
Now, IF Dorian had been detailed AND dense, then he would have had something.
But density by itself doesn't really mean much. Combined with the lack of good muscle shape and body taper, and you have a great recipe for overrated hype.
Notice what details and shape can do for you, even if people think you are "not as dense":
look at Ronnie's delts - they blow dorian's away, even if they are "not as dense"..
again, check out the quads- Dorian's supposed "density" doesn't really do much for him in the leg department, does it?
so, in closing, saying that Dorian was "more dense" is meaningless because in order for that density to have an impact, you need detail and shape to go with it.
And in the arms and legs, Dorian was missing this.
And besides, as I showed above, ronnie doesn't exactly look like the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man when he is in shape...
