**DELTA9MDA** · 01-10-2005, 01:01 PM

**DELTA9MDA** · 01-10-2005, 01:02 PM

yates still takes it.

**MASTER** · 01-16-2005, 01:18 PM

Ronnies lat spread is much bigger, if u see pics of im from last yr, his back was absolutely ridiculous, at the end of the day he is like 30 lbs heavier than yates eva was, so hes gonna b bigga in every possible way

**Kenny007** · 03-25-2005, 02:04 PM

Yates Hands Down!

Of course he is a Brit, from Burmingham, now lives mostly in the states, his big mate Jamo Nazaar usually trains with him, Jamo use to live in London, but now is in the states { muscle beach } he uses all Dorians supplements.

THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE ! Yates is the lat spread king, no doubt!!!!

Godspeed

What cycles do you prefere?

Godspeed

**SensP** · 05-13-2005, 05:27 AM

If the first photo of Yates was untouched then I'd say he's winner hands down. But...when looking at the real photo in comparison with Ronnie...fuggedaboutit. Ronnie kicks Yates' ass. A bit more mass and much better cuts.

**BlueAndromeda73** · 05-13-2005, 10:05 AM

Yates owns, and blood and guts was a good movie.

**Seajackal** · 05-15-2005, 02:38 AM

Yates, Ronnie, Franco Columbo and Lee Haney in this order IMO.

**MASTER** · 06-05-2005, 06:44 AM

a few recent pics of rons back

**biganfg** · 06-05-2005, 06:53 AM

Yates back is $#%@!^ huge man, i wreckon jus a tad bigger than the ever impressive coleman. Also that pick of Lenda Murray is pretty hot aswell!

**scriptfactory** · 06-06-2005, 02:39 PM

I must be looking at a different Ronnie than you all because, as far as I can see, Ronnie Coleman whoops Yates as far as backs are concerned. I don't think that there has ever been a back that has the width of Ronnie in competitive bodybuilding. Ronnie also matches Yates for thickness. Ronnie also has AMAZING separation, he literally has muscle overlapping other muscles on his back, it looks like fat...

Everyone better recognize...

Lets forget about rear lats ronnies best feature is his fat ass gut

**Kärnfysikern** · 06-07-2005, 07:35 AM

what about that dude that almost died. I think his name was orvile burk. His lats where insane. Very high tie ins but the width was just ridicilous.

I thought he did die. It would be really awesome if he is still alive.

His lat insertions were a bit high but he had incredible width AND an amazingly small waist. My girlfriend said he looked like a comic book superhero. His proportions were unreal. If he had fixed a few key weak points and increased his back thickness he might have been a contender.

i remember when i first got his pro card. anyone could tell he had mr. olympia potential. i've seen pics of him lately though, and whatever he's been running (high doeses of gh by the looks of it) has ruined his physique.

**ajonhb1** · 08-11-2005, 02:15 PM

big ron..."lights out"

**mkv213** · 08-11-2005, 09:52 PM

**keth'naab** · 12-23-2005, 12:12 AM

we all have our own opinions, but guys, you have to remember a few things

1) IGF-1. Ronnie has it, Dorian didn't
2) Yates actually dieted down. Ronnie is smooth all over his body by comparison. Yates had far tighter definition. A more appropriate comparison would be the Peter McGough-Yates B&W pics in Flex from way back when vs. Ronnie. That is all Ronnie does, he comes to town in the same condition as Yates was in 8 weeks out.

hence the higher weight.

Your last sentence instantly rendered all previous and future comments by you void. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

**keth'naab** · 12-23-2005, 01:35 AM

i'm okay with you thinking that. Take a look at the hardness of Yates vs. the watery look of Ronnie. His chest looks tight, his posterior chain looks tight.

But he is nowhere near as hard or grainy as yates was.

Take a look at the condition of Yates in the B&W pics. Damn close to what ronnie shows up as these days.

not saying ronnie didn't look better at 268, or in 2003 O, he did

i'm talking recently. Ronnie did not gain 30 lbs of mass between 2003 and 2004. You'd have to be a fool to believe that.

Or not. But I have no idea what I'm talking about, so cool.

The difference in looks has nothing to do with conditioning (except for 2004 when he WAS a bit watery.) Ronnie has fuller muscle bellies which give off a rounder appearance due to their superior shape. 2004 would be the only year that I would say that Ronnie had "poor", relatively speaking, conditioning compared to Dorian. That being said, I think we all know there were more than a couple years that Dorian wasn't at the top of his game.

The reason Dorian always looked grainy has a lot to do with the composition of his muscles, not so much his bodyfat percentage. There are many, many bodybuilders that can come to a competition with his same BF% and not look even close to as grainy as him.
