Dorian Yates was playing in another division!

[Wiggs]

It looks good on Dorian because his smaller arms and larger lats. Ronnie has larger arms and larger lats. Ronnie is just too overwhelming in that shot in 2003 and 2004. His quads are massive and make Dorian look amateurish. Ronnie is too much show ready.

This. Dorians lats only appeared so dominant cause his other musclegroups were lacking and underdeveloped. What people critisize about Phils arms these days they worship on Dorian....

[Tennisballz]

Yates had a much more balanced and pleasing looking physique in my opinion.  I have always hated Coleman's abs which kills the lat spread for me.

Its funny how not a single pro looks like this anymore.  Phil Heath and jay cutler at their best look(ed) awful compared to this pic of Dorian.  Here he is balanced with separation and fullness/hardness.  The mass game has killed quality physiques.  It began with Yates but the guys nowadays have taken it to far.

[Parker]

Best latspread ever!

And to the right, the man who would have been King had he not have gotten sick

[tommywishbone]

lol cute...

Nice every day physique. Easy to maintain with a daily vitamin and three days a weeks in the gym.

[illuminati]

lmao

Excellent shot of Dorian.
Would walk the Mr Olympia.
The last few years Looking like That.

Have you notice that we marvel at the 90s guys? Yet, we are unimpressed by today's guys. Sure there are some good competitors, but none of them blow you away. Not Phil, not Kai, not Ramy, not Cedric, not Brandon, not Wolf, not Roelly, not Branch. Literally no one today.

Yes.
What is the changing Factor.
Quantity of Pharmaceuticals.?
Type of Pharmaceuticals used.?

Phil, Ramy, Cedric, great physiques
Lacking dense hard looking muscle
And dry crisp conditioning.

[ritch]

That pic of Phil shows how badly bb'ing has regressed. Just terrible...

[DanM]

Wow, you don't get a true appreciation for just how weak phil really is until you see both Ronnie and Dorian.












From Dorian & Ronnie to Phil Heath...... Progress.
NOT.

[Tennisballz]

there is this idea that bodybuilding has to constantly evolve.  So when you have an olympia filled with quality physiques, such as the 92', there has to be something that stands out.  This was when the mass game started.  But just as mass monsters stood out then, so could smaller, more aesthetic guys now.  Just as clothes are fashion trends, perhaps bodybuilding can be the same way and evolve back to at least somewhat normalcy.

[affeman]

lmao

thx for proving me right, that picture illustrates my point pretty much perfectly. No chest, no arms, no traps, no quads - decent delts - and humungous lats and calves. The quantity of Dorians weak bodyparts is what made his back look insane, in fact he was just unbalanced.

[Bevo]

Flex wheeler is more ideal than both Dorian and ronnie

Best physiques and not bbing standards would be flex, kevin, and Chris in no particular order

People would rather have those types of physiques rather than ronnie or Dorian

I stopped at " no traps " and then I realized you don't know shit

[NarcissisticDeity]

What you mean Ronnie ball-lickers trolling on another Yates tread?

No, I mean you weirdos drooling over every crack and crevice of Yates and Coleman.

Some like white meat, others like dark meat, and still others can like both.

Problem solved.

We know you like both.

Seriously though, its like arguing about all-time greats in sports. People can debate Brady vs. Montana etc..... all day long.

In the end, it comes down to opinions and preferences.

Well yes-and-no. I mean Dorian killed Ronnie every time they faced each other , that's a fact. But Ronnie wasn't exactly Ronnie either but there is a way to determine who is better they do it every time they have a contest.

I was talking about overall careers. You really can't go wrong with either Coleman or Yates.

[Palpatine Q]

I was fullly immersed in  comp BBing when Dorian was in his prime..he's the champ from my generation.

and although i respected his mass, dryness, back etc...I always thought he was a tad over rated.  93 he looked insane, can't say a thing...94 not so much, i thought Ray was more complete.

 but the "politics" for alack of a better word, kept him  out of the winner's circle. by that I mean Dorian was dry as fuck and had this MONSTER back, that was his calling card.  great calves too, overdeveloped IMO...so all of the sudden...if you weren't dry as fuck and had a monster back...you were deemed lacking the complete package..it became the "Mr Back" competition. having great abs, arms, quads, chest... great lines... became irrelevant if you didn't have a three finger thick Xmas tree.  my opinion. echoed by many pros.  I remember watching MR O's and the announcers are bascially chit chatting until the rear DB and Lat spread, the they are HYPER critical...it's all that mattered.

95 he deserved it again...looked equine with the amount of dry mass he carried, overwhelming.

96 nope, 97 nope.

carry on...try not to insult me personally  LOL

[che]

lol cute...

That's horrible
