I think he looked crazy. That waist looks like it’s under 30 inches haha.
I doubt that it was under 30 inches lol
Still, he sure looked more aesthetic back then.
Probably ate a lot less than he does today, too… (obviously… And let’s face it, that sure does affect how bloated you look, esp. if you eat stuff which you’re slightly “allergic” to/which gives you lots of gas etc… Drinking milk makes me look pregnant, for example)
Anyway, still didn’t have a waist like Wheeler, Freeman, Dex or any of those guys… He’s also cursed with fairly ugly abs lol
How much did he weigh in that vid?
Edit: Doesn’t look like his 210 lbs days to me[/quote]
I have no idea how much he weighed, but like sid said it was his first training vid so I guess 255

This is actually why I respect Dorian the most out of all the Mr.Olympias. He is the easiest to identify with and in my opinion… most respectable. Probably one of the better ones to listen to too.[/quote]
Dorian is a pretty smart fucker from the videos I have watched. His training philosophy was so badass in its pragmatism.
watching one of ronnie colemans videos on youtube he said he used to wear his lifting belt all day around his waist, and thats how he tried to keep his waist small

The G.O.A.T.
On a side note. I kinda wanna see a comeback from Ronnie. He’s got so much love for the sport and the fans love him. I’ve read that hes fixed up his nerve problems in his left lat and he wants to stand on the Olympia stage again.

He sure looks pretty fucking awesome.
I still think Levrone is better

i mean this as a compliment
he looks like The Thing from Fantastic Four, just because he is so cut, striated, and vascular.

I always think of Priest as the one guy who doesn’t have any weak points. Everybody else, I can kinda think of one (I think big guts are a weak point, so that takes out ronnie et al). You think his chest might be kinda small, but then you realize it’s not. Levrone also has similar qualities but priest looks more impressive to me for some reason (probably the frickin arms).
Also, in an interview, he actually told them the drugs he uses and it was so basic and relatively little. I thought he was lying, so did the interviewer if I remember correctly. If he’s right though, and he seems like an honest man, he uses less than some experimental amateurs and weekend warriors do.
22 years old. Damn. I’m 20 and don’t look 1/100000000000x10^100000000th as good as him. The guy is truly a genetic freak.

He probably would have been Mr. Olympia by now if he wasn’t posing to Dolly Parton. I mean who the fuck does that?
hahah i though dolly parton was a great choice… the one when he poses to that music dorian yates used to use, thats cool
Branch and the stairs… Lee and a flat screen TV… something fishy’s going on.

Okay, I can see a lot of that. And yes, young Yates showed hardly any potential or sign of what he would become.
I’m sometimes clueless when people talk about genetics, that’s all. I get it to some extent and with certain cases, but sometimes I need clarification.
No problem. The thing is, yates would most definitely not win the O today… Nowadays we have the super-genetics-ultra-aesthetics crowd on top… Too many of those for even good old dorian to beat.
And yeah… Genetics influence many things.
Wheeler had great shape, but wasn’t meant to be a superheavy. He tried to get there via extra-gear and fucked himself up.
Ronnie has the genetics for being huge, but he doesn’t look very aesthetic. Even at 210 he didn’t.
[/quote]
Wheeler is about the size of Ronnie here.
And how did he fuck himself up? Also, what’s with his natural claims?
Wheeler was on HRT, apparently is off now… But I think he also had a liver or kidney transplant or something. He has gone on record saying he regrets steroids, AFAIK. He is now natural but still looks impressive.

x99999
lol I was thinking the same thing actually hehe.
He does have a great physique, but eh, the music ain’t that great lol. Compare him to most of Ronnie’s appearances on MR. O, I mean daaaamn that guy is so charismatic, you can feel it through his posing routine music too.
