both good..but my vote goes to dorian..
IE. Xmas tree

**Padawan** · 05-22-2002, 12:51 PM

I agree, Yates is the man.

***Pheedno*** · 05-22-2002, 01:10 PM

Definately Yates

**Farmer** · 05-22-2002, 01:41 PM

Ronnie colemans back looks like its fat. He has so much muscle there is muscle literally pouring and overlapping other muscle. Yates is more pleasing, but ronnie's is more of a "how big can I get" type of experiment. I'm not voting for either because my votes always go to the man...Arnold.

peace

**kaiser soze** · 05-22-2002, 03:00 PM

I'm for Dorian...
Coleman can only dream the thickness of Dorian.

**BigDude** · 05-22-2002, 10:24 PM

I'm actually quite surprised there's folks out there, who think Dorian's back is better. It may look a bit dryer, but in mass and width, Ronnie rules supreme!! Just check the attached photos, and tell me where my logic fails.

**BigDude** · 05-22-2002, 10:25 PM

**BigDude** · 05-22-2002, 10:27 PM

He's back was the best when he compete, but...

**BigDude** · 05-22-2002, 10:31 PM

Overall, Dorian is not even close in freakiness.. check the glutes, hamstrings.. the total package.

**retired** · 05-22-2002, 10:46 PM

I actually think that Dorian had the superior glute/ham conditioning. I would also give him the nod in terms of sheer mass and thickness; Coleman has a smaller waist, which creates the illusion that his enormous lat spread is even bigger than it is.

You think dorian did Growth Hormone??????????????

***Shredz*** · 05-23-2002, 09:04 AM

I love it...this is going to end up in a fight I know it...lol Kidding!!!!

Well this thread started about who has the best back and now it is who has the total package..

I vote still stays with Dorian.

**williampowers** · 05-23-2002, 09:25 AM

I ask because his gut isnt extended like ronnies.
I know he is juiced up out the box though..

**Big Al** · 05-23-2002, 09:38 AM

I respect both, but the overall package without a doubt goes to Dorian, having seen both at there best Dorian has it.

Peace

**retired** · 05-23-2002, 06:24 PM

...still, Coleman is one freaky MF!

**palme** · 05-23-2002, 07:10 PM

Ronnie is the man!

**jonesmeister** · 05-24-2002, 02:56 AM

i think colemans back is bigger and freakier, but dorians is more pleasing massive but not sickly, i aint in to who can look the freakiest

**HARDCORE** · 05-24-2002, 10:07 AM

Dorian reigns supreme in terms of back and overall package IMHO.

**Kärnfysikern** · 05-24-2002, 12:21 PM

Dorian for sure.
Coleman might have more mass but its not all about mass IMO.

**mike2112** · 05-26-2002, 06:24 AM

definitly Coleman:he has a freaky back!!!
I don't think Dorian used GH

OF course he used BIG DOSES OF GH!!!!!

**Bigkid** · 05-29-2002, 12:19 PM

I hate Ronnie, but he's got Dorian beat in every back pose except the front lat spread. Dorain looks better that Ronnie in that one.

**Gardo** · 05-29-2002, 06:28 PM

Without a doubt Dorian. He's got mass with striation upon striation. He's got the total package.

**BigDude** · 05-29-2002, 09:03 PM

Guys.. Dorian wins few poses, but Ronnie has taken the sport to a new level. Dorian's midsection was very blocky in the end, and even though Ronnie's midsection is not the smallest around, it's proportionally a lot better than Dorian's. Bodypart by bodypart, I would rate them like this:

Biceps: Ronnie (Dorian never had them, btw)
Triceps: Ronnie (Dorian had good ones, but never striated)
Chest: A tough one, Dorians chest was excellent, but so is Ronnies. Hardness-wise, Dorian was better, Ronnie's are more massive (they practically hang)
Abs: Dorian, more pleasing muscle shape. Ronnie's midsection is not as wide, though.
Thighs: Ronnie. Dorian had nice thighs, but he never got the striated.
Glutes: Ronnie. Even though Dorian had tight glutes, they still somehow looked fat, just like his face. Ronnie's glutes are extremely ripped, and no one comes even close.
Hamstrings: Both have good hamstrings, but combined with glutes, Ronnies hamstrings look better. Dorian's might be harder though.
Calves: this goes to Dorian.
Back: Ronnie. Dorian had better xmas tree, but that's pretty much it. Ronnie is way wider that Dorian. Or maybe he just appears wider, but who cares, that's what body building is all about; mass AND proportions. Ronnie can't be beat in back double biceps.
Shoulders: both have decent shoulders, not the freakiest in the sport. I would still give this to Ronnie, since his shoulders complement his amazing arm proportions.

Don't get me wrong. Dorian was my hero, and still is. Some years he was in excellent shapes, but some years he just looked disgusting (such as 1994). I could never show a picture of Dorian in 1994 and say I'd like to look like him.

Ronnie is ... well, the man.

**retired** · 05-30-2002, 01:43 AM

When I look at these pictures of Dorian, I see the complete package. As for who has the more massive back, I will try and scan some of the pics that I have of Dorian comparing lat-spreads with other top BBs. When you see the way that his spread DWARFS those of people still competing today against Coleman, you will appreciate just how enormous his back really was. Pictures don't do it justice.

Can you tell that I'm something of a Dorian fan?

**retired** · 05-30-2002, 01:46 AM

another...

**mando** · 05-30-2002, 05:16 AM

body part for part ronnie kills dorian , but i guess its not fair to compare them ....... as each was and is a great champ in their time , only thing about dorian is that his arms were very small compared to the rest of his body , to me a mr '' o'' should have monsters for arms a.k.a ronnie..... secondly dozzer's training was crazy although it worked for him in the end it got him .... i mean hip injury , delt problems , torn bicep , torn tricep ...... i still think the high volume works great .hey, if it worked for sergio n arnie its gotta be good !! btw ronnie trains like that as well.

**jonesmeister** · 05-30-2002, 06:08 AM

i stll think yates is better than coleman, coleman is just to freaky , dorianis excellant huge but not sick, ronnies muscles look like rolls of fat imo.

**demetri** · 05-30-2002, 06:41 AM

I just can't think of either as pleasing ... well I can't imagine a woman looking at either of those men and saying "I gots to have that".

My vote goes to Dorian.

IMO bodybuilding has had enough of the freaks and needs to start going towards a more healthy looking physique, like back in the 60s ... just not as smooth.

**Pete235** · 05-30-2002, 07:01 AM

Speaking of freaky mass.....how far can this guy go??!!

**Pete235** · 05-30-2002, 07:02 AM

or even....

**vector** · 05-30-2002, 08:11 AM

wow these 2 last pics are impressive! When were they taken?

**jersey juice** · 05-30-2002, 04:12 PM

Coleman got him beat with the back, I"m a big Dorian fan & not a huge Ronnie fan, but Ronnie's back is just mountains of muscle mass just overflowing like some kind of growth....mass wise...Ronnie

**mando** · 05-30-2002, 04:32 PM

ronnie still the man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bring it on jay !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Penetrator** · 07-27-2002, 09:23 PM

Well, Dorian was the king, but I have to say, everybody fades next to Ronnie. Too much mass? Wtf, is it the Olympia or Mr. Universe?

**Power_Andy** · 07-30-2002, 08:32 AM

Looking at your pictures ... it's a pity to say that Dorian was best -( and now his back doesn't seem supreme ...
