How was Shawn Ray never Mr. Olympia?

[njflex]

I'm talking of actual footage for the whole thing. I never saw Lee Haney's "real" training tape. I have see footage of him surrounded by guys doing a couple of sets and the tape is all chopped up. The Ray tape shows every body part and every exercise in actual training.

RAY WAS STRONG AS WELL...

RAY WAS STRONG AS WELL...

Yeah for his weight and low bf levels he uses pretty heavy weights with good form

I've seen him do dumbell inclines with 155 or 160's I think for sets of 8 reps, good form

Yates destroyed them that year...

No question about that.

Yates had a lot of shock and awe, visual impact when he took the Olympia stage in '93.

Pros like Shawn Ray had decent mass and great conditioning with classic lines.
That makes for a great physique BUT doesn't make your jaw drop when they pose on stage.

Ok, I see what you're saying

Lee did have some footage with just him & his training partner... Training heavy. But then they spliced in the the training class, demonstration footage

WHEN you watch the old show flex workout espn,and you see ray training with boyer'who wss in great shape'during that time too,,you don't realize until v taylor or wheeler/leverone show up how much smaller/compact he was compared to them,they were wide/huge..

This is the 1994 Mr Olympia contest. For all the shit that people have talked about Dorian that year; you would think that he looked like a fat pig. But watch the first call-out. He looked very impressive (despite the injury).
