Top 2 are from the arnold from 93 not the O.  Dorian was SHOCKING that year, yeah, hulkster can pull some shitty pics out but if you can get that show on tape..it was on ESPN if you can believe that...he was waaaaaaay above and beyond anything....

I'm telling you dorian shocked everyone at that show, he was incredible.  the pics that float around on this site are the worst ones from that show.

Go back and find the 93 B&W flex pics...some of the freadiest pics ever of dorian and he just got harder from that point.  People were freaking out back then.....kinda like ronnie a couple of years ago but even more so cause nobody thought flex would get stomped the way he did.

Sorry, check history...flex got stomped.

Flex was really good. However Dorian in 93 and 94 was unstoppable.  He had Flex's conditioning and about 20lbs of extra muscle.  That's how Ronnie beats someone like Dexter...same conditioning but more muscle.

Dorian winning in 94 was the biggest travesty in bb history

Cool vid bro, brings up good memories of Flex!  I wish he was still in the game, he brought tons of exitement to the table!!!

dorian was successful for 6 years largely impart to a judging philosophy of

size over quality

which is something that I have never agreed with.

see the truce thread for a more elaborate treatment of this topic 8)

According to Jim Quinn!

He was reporting on a measurement that had been taken by Billy Smith at Golds in Venice California.  Apparently Flex's BF was calipered at 0.0% that day.  It was the lowest measurement that had ever been taken in the history of that gym.

But that's just one gym tho.  There are thousands of other gyms around and so that measurement has probably been beaten somewhere else at some point.

Nobody doubted the 1993 decision when it happened. 13 years later, using internet pics, people waste time trying to make arguements that nobody cares about. Its 2006 and The olympia is tommorow. 1993 is gone forever.

thats because everyone embraced the doctrine of size over quality at all costs at the time.

13 years later, we can see that maybe that was not the right philosophy to go by, especially after the travesties in 1994 and 1996.
