There’s always been this terrible disconnect between the organizers of bodybuilding and media...that’s why it’s virtually unknown by the majority of people even today 😯
Dorian’s conditioning is so good that he looks like one of those anatomical drawings in medical textbooks used to highlight muscle groups, but in real life.
my opinion is that Jay Cutler had the worst aesthetics ever as a Mr. O....but also to your point, there are bodybuilders that never won who had better aesthetics than some of the Mr. O's who did.....who had better aesthetics than Flex Wheeler or Shawn Ray at their peak? The Mr. O with the greatest aesthetics in my opinion was Frank Zane, but like I said, every Mr. O has something that can be critiqued.
I never get tired of seeing that back, it's just absolutely majestic. It looks like pieces of a block 3d puzzle placed together. I don't even give a F about backs in general either I think it's completely ridiculous that you can win an Olympia with a gut just because your back is strong (which Yates did a few times), but his just looks like nothing else.
Probably the best conditioned Mr Olympia winner of all time. Just take a look at his face, that kind of conditioning isn't around these days. The closest would be Dennis Wolf, but even Dennis is not in the same league as Yates was.
His face looks gaunt! You can really tell how freaky lean he was in the face compared to bodybuilders these days. No giant ninja turtle head from excessive HGH either.
@@onelesslonelymemer5863 with Dorian getting a gut it too it clearly shows no matter what you do you’ll always get one getting to that size and what not but no one can ever take away his conditioning. Lol.
@@startingtech3900 I just sorta mean as a pro. Once he became a pro - he “only” competed what 7 years? And a few of those he had visible injuries on stage - and obviously 1997 was not good at all. I’m certainly not hating Dorian is freaking amazing in every way - just once he became pro I mean he had his first bicep tear after the 93 Olympia wasn’t it? Before or after can’t remember.
Just had to come back again to watch this and I still maintain that this physique is FAR ,, FAR superior to ANYTHING on the current Mr Olympia stage!!!!!
His 92 version is his best. He didnt have to get bigger. Maybe a bit bigger legs. Hes ripped enough here. And has enough muscle to have won the next 5 O's.
In my opinion, this was Dorian's best year, when it was still about having good condition and quality muscle, not just quantity. '93 was when he upped the size game and all his competition had to respond in kind and the sport changed; and probably when he started really using the HGH and his stomach started distending. The ripped bicep starting in '94 ruined his physique.
Completely agreed. Yeah, in 93 people were blown away with his overall increase in size, but imho it was not an overall increase in quality. In 92 his shoulders were just as wide and his arms just as big, but his thighs and waist weren't so large, making his 92 performance here all around better. The relative proportions became worse as the size added and didn't help his V taper or aesthetics any. It only served to look bigger than guys he stood next to.
@@ImYourHuckleberry_29 he made good gains and the rest was him not overdieting and burning muscle tissue to get a tiny bit more conditioned. He reached the point of diminishing returns where burning more and more muscle didn't equate to being that much more conditioned and he understood that. 1993 was crazy shredded but that much bigger because he prepped smarter.
Damn. Looks 100X better than bodybuilders these days. Actually in proportion, no bubble gut, and crazy lean... Basically exactly how a bodybuilder is SUPPOSED to look.
Karim Temri Arnold is known for his narrow hips (what I mean greater trochanter). While his ilium bone is not the narrowest it is still narrower than ribcage which was huge! Its the greatest thing to be gifted with in bb. Flex had ugly wider hips. Wider than waist and ribcage what makes him look like a frog unlike Arnold or Yates whose V tapers started from the hip line (grater trochanter) up.
As others have said, this was the best Dorian ever looked, and it never got that good again. I stopped following the sport at that point. I respect Dorian's victories, but it's just not my preferred body style. Haney was gone, and the era of the thick midsections had begun. Look at any Bob Paris posing routine on RUclips, and you'll understand what I mean.
Yates was best from 92-94. After bicep injury his body specially his waist line increased horribly. He got 3 deserving titles and 3 non deserving titles.
My favorite build of his, he truly looks like solid granite rock. Muscles don’t look like that in bodybuilding they’re big and cut but what you’re seeing in this video is solid muscle hard earned muscle.
insane body, but to imagine hes only 30 years at this competition, its insane, so many of theese bodybuilders, their bodies are amazing, then u look at their faces, they look 10-15 years older than they are. It looks like hes 40 atleast in his face
This level of conditioning with the mass it's Unthinkable today... unfortunately. Even when he was 5/6 kilos bigger heavier he still possessed incomparable conditioning with today's bodybuilders... for example German 96 trophy. The point is , today's bodybuilders they just don't want to suffer long enough to come to that level because it's freaking hard to do it. The only relevant guy who brings something similar to this today is Hadi Choopan.
his first Mr. Olympia. By 1997 he was 274 pounds on stage at the finals, that's bigger than any bodybuilder today other than Ramy and his conditioning would still slap everyone right in the face nowadays. It's like watching a video of Ronnie in 1992 and saying "omg he was so small compared to bodybuilders of today" makes no sense...
His first olympia victory before the 1993 transformation. Lean, ripped to the proverbial bone and sliced without any blockiness.At the same time his weak body parts like chest and arms are obvious but that's the reason we have comparison rounds, to select the best not the biggest.
Why the IFBB doesn't just upload the old contests to RUclips is beyond me. It's not like anybody is buying the VHS tape...
BleakVision exactly!! Their promotion sucks, and the video quality is shitty
There’s always been this terrible disconnect between the organizers of bodybuilding and media...that’s why it’s virtually unknown by the majority of people even today 😯
Seriously. Would be great promotion for the sport too. Upload content from all Mr. Olympias. Would be truly awesome to watch some of the older ones.
@@Manny123-y3j true!
Lmao vhs
Dorian’s conditioning is so good that he looks like one of those anatomical drawings in medical textbooks used to highlight muscle groups, but in real life.
Its easy to forget how good Dorian was. His back and calves were some of the best in history.
To understand how good he was one has to just compare is fellow competitors
😂
GROSS HIS WHOLE BODY WAS DISPROPORTIONED
@@leelunk8235 lol. Go back to sleep.
@@dinobravo23 YOU GO PEEWEE
I've said it many times before, the greatest conditioning of any bodybuilder ever....the man was chiseled out of granite...
J Gamez and the worst aesthetics ever for a Mr Olympia
my opinion is that Jay Cutler had the worst aesthetics ever as a Mr. O....but also to your point, there are bodybuilders that never won who had better aesthetics than some of the Mr. O's who did.....who had better aesthetics than Flex Wheeler or Shawn Ray at their peak? The Mr. O with the greatest aesthetics in my opinion was Frank Zane, but like I said, every Mr. O has something that can be critiqued.
J Gamez agree. I myself felt Dorian should of won 3 olympias. 92 93 96

I don't even give a F about backs in general either I think it's completely ridiculous that you can win an Olympia with a gut just because your back is strong (which Yates did a few times), but his just looks like nothing else.
collin355 lol ever heard of Chris Dickerson?
Unreal back and to this day probably the best back to grace the Olympia stage
Probably the best conditioned Mr Olympia winner of all time. Just take a look at his face, that kind of conditioning isn't around these days. The closest would be Dennis Wolf, but even Dennis is not in the same league as Yates was.

What a beast for 92..Those lats!! Great pose too.
The best shape of Dorian! No bubble gut and amazing control, very good proportions and shredded muscles
Dorian was even better in 1993
0:50 even the mouse on the background gets shit blown seeing that fabulous physique
Good eyes on u bro
thats top of Shawn Rays hair, he is walking behind the podium.
you’ve got one hell of an eye🤣
Great eyes lol
What no bubble gut?! And you call yourself a pro bodybuilder??!!!
LOL..so true!! He needed to work on the bubble..
Dorian's back omfg. This is the best look of any Olympian period
How is this nearly 30 year old video better than anything that comes out now?! BB apex.
Obviously his body started to give out on him fairly quickly but at his best damn what a build, that back! Granite
fairly quickly dude he was lifting from 1980-1997 thats almost 20 years it was a long run he was just at the top for 6 years

Agreed, fat oil-filled guys now.
Mass over condition now.
Good to see that routine again. Thanks for putting it up, haven't seen that for years.
No 1 Dorian Yates
His 92 version is his best. He didnt have to get bigger. Maybe a bit bigger legs. Hes ripped enough here. And has enough muscle to have won the next 5 O's.
He was good for his time, but he's no Jason Genova
Bro big lenny destroys Genova
The best lower back of all time. It was Christmas all year round for Dorian.
Позирование Дориана это уже формальность. Он просто выходил и показывал себя. Никакого балета. Просто позы. Я лучший. Есть вопросы?)))))

Nobody works out calves anymore....look at the size of Dorian's calves!
This is the greatest bodybuilding physique of all time, peak of aesthetics with mass, could beat and fit in any Olympia before 1992 and win
Hahaha the most overrated bodybuilder ever
With these amateur arms?
Nao venceria o lee haney ainda
This posing routine...Dorian is my favorite.
Massive back than anyone else in the history. He is a legend.
Ronnie Colman :hold my dumbbell
He made massive gains the following year
ArseneWenger it was actually muscle memory. He already made those gains in the off season but he dieted too hard and lost some muscle
@@sng3939 i dunno about that. Did u see his photoshoot pics in flex? It was either for 93 or 94. Tbh I like this streamlined 92 version best.
@@ImYourHuckleberry_29 he made good gains and the rest was him not overdieting and burning muscle tissue to get a tiny bit more conditioned.

The difference between 92-93 is absolutely F$$KIN MENTAL.
He was the last Mr Olympia that looked aesthetically pleasing in my opinion
Ronnie Coleman, Dexter Jackson, Shawn Rhoden, Brandon Curry.
That side tricep pose ( imo) is a thing of beauty
Godlike physic. His bone structure alone was amazing.. just like Arnolds.. Narrow hips, full ribcage.. pure perfection.
Karim Temri Arnold had a big waist?!?! Are you joking?
Karim Temri Arnold is known for his narrow hips (what I mean greater trochanter). While his ilium bone is not the narrowest it is still narrower than ribcage which was huge! Its the greatest thing to be gifted with in bb. Flex had ugly wider hips.

Karim Temri Yeah, that's a typical mesomorph.
Narrow hips...just like Arnold, lmao(since Arnold is known he had thick waist). You are blind. Dorian is one ugly mr.O with blocky waist.

He has a huge waist abd small chest he is the worst mr olympia ever
Wow great physique! Man is a legend👌
Yates was best from 92-94. After bicep injury his body specially his waist line increased horribly. He got 3 deserving titles and 3 non deserving titles.
Id say his 1995 win was more deserved than 1994
jatinder pal singh ‘96 He was also awesome, very similar to ‘93. Even ‘97 he was damn impressive (watch his posing routine).
Esa espalda, en cualquiera de sus poses al día de hoy año 2020 es insuperable y x siempre!!!..
Dorian Yates’ conditioning next level.
When you cant miss how shredded and separated he is even in 144p
that looks like a rat pasing in the background t 0:50... :))))))
bboymiau how the hell did you notice that?? wow
bboymiau I looked at it several times. I think it is the top of someone's head behind the screen
bboymiau I wonder if Dorian is aware of it himself now... If that Rat would've bit him he could've just sued instead of having to win 6 Sandows lol
Cosmin.
That was Shaun Ray.
COSMIN Great observation..
It was a rat or a very large mouse...
Incredible!!
His back looks like it would become flying squirrel wings if he did a lat spread.
Massive awsome
My favorite build of his, he truly looks like solid granite rock. Muscles don’t look like that in bodybuilding they’re big and cut but what you’re seeing in this video is solid muscle hard earned muscle.
am in High or did i see a rat passby at 0:50 ?
Real Philippines that's the top of someone's head behind the stage 😂
I
Hardcore, granite muscles, nothing to do with today's watery, soft & bloated BBs
The best dorian
Dorian was fantastic here. Perfect physique.
Best golden era shape ever! Even arnold pales to this
Wow.. never knew he did the same routine in 92 n 93.
Here from The LUI's IG post. This is crazy.
Perfect, young Dorian.
The best he ever looked in my opinion
This is the year Dorian looks the best. Before he developed a big waist from too much GH.
He has a huge waist is this videos
@@zeroronaldo9313 but not distended
This is Bodybuilding.
This was his best shape hands down!
Best ever! I saw Dorian in 93 Atlanta. Hands down, no contest. My only regret is he never hit a "thigh stomp".
The most and nice back of all time.
His back was to become of legend. And the baggy prison pants we used to wear at the gym lol.
The death face is real 💀
Wow it's actually ridiculous how much he gained in 1 year
Ben Sexton he’s said that ‘93 was really two years of gains, that he over-dieted significantly for ‘92
If that wasnt near damn Perfection ... then what is !
The creator of Baki must have watched this a couple of thousands times.
This is my favorite dorian Yates shape . 1992 his arms were still good his shape was even better than 93 and his conditioning was the best
Best physique of all time.
I love this little move at 1:24. It's like his hand is a whiplash and he "grasped" it
God damn Dorian, peeled and shredded to the bone.
My god I paused at the back double bicep shot, wow!
This was his best year
Dorian's nest shape ever.
Love this guy
Look at that face....Face of death
Except he's still alive when several of his peers have passed. I feel bad for Mike Matarrazo. That he couldn't get a heart in time. Nassar.El Sonbatay
Not yet!! But some of his peers have. Mike Matarrazo, Nassar El Sonbatay, etc.
Dude is nothing but skeleton and muscle. lol. Damn!
Bodyfat around 3% for contests
The best back world has ever seen!
best year for Yates symmetry
but looking back, overall Kevin was was spot on, much more pleasing physique.
Perfect combo of mass and aesthetics
FLAWLESS VICTORY
Ah, the migration from the 'Y'-physique era to our current 'X'-physique one.
I thinks he was so much better than he actually was
insane body, but to imagine hes only 30 years at this competition, its insane, so many of theese bodybuilders, their bodies are amazing, then u look at their faces, they look 10-15 years older than they are. It looks like hes 40 atleast in his face
Great look absolutely beautiful
Perfect body. Beautiful. That's the classic physique pose.
Scary fucking bodybuilder... Unbeatable
If this guy keeps working out and saying prayers he might win a show in his future.
I think that Lee Haney could have beaten Dorian in 1992 to take his 9th Olympia.
In 1993 Dorian was on a different level to anyone else.
Andy Essex true but Haney was smart. They were shifting to size and he ain’t risking his health for that
Biggest back in history of bodybuilding, insane not even Ronnie, how he developed those lats? Who knows😱
This level of conditioning with the mass it's Unthinkable today... unfortunately.

This is why Haney retired
Super impressive death mask but he really was much better in 93
best condition ever !!
Ahhh the sound of boss music.
Best back ever, though I'm shocked how small he looks compared to bodybuilders of today.
If any of today’s came in similar condition they would be down 15-20lbs, I actually doubt they could get that hard with all the insulin they take.
He would be at Classic today with that presentation
his first Mr. Olympia. By 1997 he was 274 pounds on stage at the finals, that's bigger than any bodybuilder today other than Ramy and his conditioning would still slap everyone right in the face nowadays.
It's like watching a video of Ronnie in 1992 and saying "omg he was so small compared to bodybuilders of today" makes no sense...
They all look bigger and so much fuller ! I belive due to the advances off the drugs they take ..
Everyone is smooth nowadays.. c bum is the best overall bodybuilder out of them all
Look at his back WOW
best don in body building
This must be his best shape. What a waistline! 👍
Would anyone knows whats the music used?
Even though Dorian put on an impressive amount of muscle mass the following year, i like the 1992 version best. Dry, relatively narrow waist.
Dorian 👑🎖️👍💚
He was repping the uk thanks dorian
#itsaukting
0:48 if you look closely above Dorian's head, you'll see a rat running from left to right. Thank me later
This was just before he took on the world stage.
