You're wrong. Unless Yates' squat and bench max. (and others like curls) magically went up, Yates had good strength vs. superhuman strength and development.
Sorry to burst the fantasy but you still have this:
What a crock of shit. The only reason why Ronnie used geater weights is because he maxed out with singles and doubles, something that Dorian never did. Now Ronnie was stronge in the deadlift and squat, but that was about it. Peter McGough has stated repeatedly that the reason for why Dorian used the weights he did is because he was obsessed with super-strict reps and a full range of motion. If Dorian wanted, he could have used much greater weights.
Besides, even with his super-strict training style and full ange of motion, Dorian still used some pretty fucking heavy weights! How about bent over barbell rows with five plates as side for 6 reps without cheating? Or one arm dumbbell rows with 200 lbs dumbbells fo reps? Or stiff-legged deadlift with six plates a side, again for reps? Look at Dorian executing incline barbell bench press, and he used 400 lbs for 8 super-strict reps. Observe that, at each rep, the bar would touch hois chest and he would get a full stretch every single time. Now compare this to Ronnie doingt the incline press, where he cheats after doing 3 reps or so.
Completely different appoaches to stressing the muscles. Ronnie is stonger in the core execises, granted, but the diffeence overrall is not that great, with Dorian actually being stronger at some exercises.
The sdame large frames that allows one to be so strong make one a terrible bodybuilder. Look at Shawn, whi is dwarfed by Kovacs in size and strengh, and yet is a much bette bodybuilder, with longer muscle bellies, smaller joints, etc. None of the really, really stong guys could be a successful pro because of their large frames. Kovacs never made it is a pro, and Shawn finished in the top five at the Mr.Olympia a dozen times.
