Ronnie had definitely one of the best backs ever but his left lat always looked smaller in comparison to the right especially when he became bigger in 2003 you could see that. His 99 back double overall is unbeatable in my opinion because everything is perfect
@@anasabura3037 i know that his back was crazy big but it’s not hard to see that his left lat is clearly smaller than the right. It's just not a perfect symmetrical back like Lee Haney and Phil heath had
@@anasabura3037 yeah I think his 99 dbd and latspread are the best of all time because everything is just perfect. The detail, mass and condition was just out of this world
Phil Heath BDB was better (better upper traps and shoulders, more definition through the arms, just as conditioned glutes but with far better proportions, better calves and forearms, perfect conditioning and definition through the back and more symmetry)
I'm not sure which one to root for in this comparison. One one hand, Ronnie Coleman looks really good. On the other hand, you also have The King putting on a mesmerizing display of back musculature. Peronally, I'll vote for guy C aka "Ainnofin Buta peanoot, my favourite exotic natural back lat spread bodybuilder.
Always such a weak pose for him. 01 Arnold if you google it will provide what's probably his best side tricep pose (size; conditioning & lateral head thickness). Pre judging he was in yellow trunks. He always used his left side which showed major atrophy in 05 & after.
Haven't watched the vid yet but I'm gonna guess 99' or 03, 05 is hella underrated as well. Conditioning vs size vs density respectively for each year. Edit: called it lol
Ronnie having arguably the best back makes me realize bow mich symmetry doesn't matter Size, density, insertions and conditioning matter more I prefer Phil's back bc of the symmetry, even though Ronnie's back is indeed a marvel
great comparison, even though 1999 Coleman is widely regarded as the best version. His 2005 was his ultimate peak. He dropped 10-15 pounds from the prior year, but where he dropped the mass, he added quality and detail, his graininess/dryness was unsurpassed, his muscle maturity and conditioning was unrivalled, don't think anyone else ever reached that level of peak maturity whilst still maintaining immense size and decent symmetry. This version was insane and IMO, the freakiest coleman by a mile. Sadly, He should have stopped there, and 2006 should never have happened. Albeit, the man did deserve the 9 titles and the GOAT title, but it was just not meant to be...
some of the later years Ronnie's back is looking asymmetrical. I don't know how much he was already effected by his injuries there. To me 1999 Ronnie is looking like the winner here.
his midsection was his worst body part, abs specifically. His triceps were great mass wise, had a great sweep which helped him out in front and back double but he had high insertions and poor separation which destroyed him in the side tricep pose, which even with good triceps, he just didn't execute well. His abs however, were bad from every angle, every pose. The split was just too much
@@anasabura3037 that’s a tricky one. Objectively, probably Ronnie, as he would dwarf Phil. But Phil is my favorite bb ever, and I’d say 2013 is hard to beat
In terms of mass+conditioning, I would say 05 Ronnie. 03 Ronnie was a little soft. Now when you throw symmetry and aesthetics 99 Ronnie wins hands down.
@@kringlefanten He had gyno on his lats? Sorry, had to. Yeah, I thought he corrected a lot of his issues from the 98 O. Don't know why they had to keep chasing size so much. Guess his 01 ASC win was pretty awesome too.
The video should be which Olympia was Ronnie's back best. 01 Arnold completely ignored. I'm not saying it was at its best then but it was better then Olympia package 2000/01/02/04 & 05. 05 His left lat and left arm (triceps area) were really starting showing signs of atrophy. At the pre judging but less evident at the night show.
He was definitely cleaner overall in 05 agreed. 2003 he was huge but kind of sloppy same with 04. I was just saying in prejudging it was easy to notice the atrophy in his left lat & left arm.
I think he had a tendency to look better, not just back, but overall at some of those grand prix shows. 99 was Ronnie's best physique yr overall as he hadn't gotten freakishly big yet.
I've tried but I really just can't with this channel anymore. This is literally the only channel where I continually find myself completely unable to finish any of the videos. I've tried to politely comment several times about all the weird nonsense voices. unfitting verbal inflections, and terrible impersonations, yet you continue to produce content as if you're pandering to UA-cam kids. I'm not saying you, Mark, should be an emotionless commentator. but there is a vast difference between being funny vs silly and you're definitely on the wrong side of preferred humor, which I strongly contend is why I've noticed your channel is growing exponentially slower than others with similar content. It's ironic that a channel all about giving others criticisms doesn't seem to be able to listen to criticism.
Ron has the best bdb his Dorian has the best bls but Dorian his lats in bdb not width as in bls but Ron his lats in bdb are wider than Dorian bdb but not bls and Ron has a better v taper
@@robertdevito5001 bro some on in the comments he said Ron lack v taper and his delts are not enough developed, plus waist plus overall siluette…,? Ron has one of the best v tape

Bro there are so many bb other than Ron not only Ron is the only bodybuilder in history why all comparison only on Ron، What about mr Dorian what about Dorian arm and legs from 93 to 97 , because now Dorian fanboys they comes and talk a shit about Ron that not fair We watched two videos of Ronnie back-to-back,
Look at 6:54 on the left pic he has one of the best v taper , even stave the head of judges said the only ones in all the bb they are the most impressive is Dorian and Ron
In the end Dorian who competed in 90s and he watch all the bb of the 90s he said the only one when I saw him i said fuck that impressive the one was Ron
@@anasabura3037 its your eyes, i see his delts weak, he has no X-frame, for me his torso is short, i prefer bodybuilders like Wolf,Compton,Dillett with modern structure
Is it just me or is the rear lat spread comparison between 2002 vs 2003 at 12:52 actually not that great a difference? Sure 2003 is bigger and better, but not by nearly as much as I was expecting.

OmG... 2003 HE LEFT THE PLANET....2003 WILL NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN!!
His GUT left the planet as well.
@@xaviervega468don't cry kid
Geez look at the hamstring gains from 97-98!!! That is crazy progress right there 😮😮. But Ronnie 03 went from mere mortal status to straight alien 👽 😮
98, 99 & 2000 Ronnie are the Best & Most Aesthetic Ronnie with small waist.
the arrival of Jay Cutler changed it to Mass Monster era.
Ronnie is unmatched even till today

Awesome video bro!!!!
Hey Marx Max Muscle I just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work with these vids you post. Great content
This was such an awesome and entertaining video🙏🏻 I would love to see when was Ronnie’s side triceps at his best

2:09 his '98 back is just so sharp!! '98 gets my vote!!
That was an awesome vid.. thanks for that!!
I always thought 2005 version of King was best in terms of size conditioning midsection and clean cuts
Ronnie having arguably the best back makes me realize bow mich symmetry doesn't matter
Size, density, insertions and conditioning matter more
I prefer Phil's back bc of the symmetry, even though Ronnie's back is indeed a marvel
I was actually waiting for this since you mentioned it yesterday!!

If he didn't injured his lats and triceps in 2005, that would have been the best Coleman ever.
Have you ever compared 97 Ronnie vs 97 Dorian? He was way down the order but how far was he really?
Yeah he has
ua-cam.com/video/TX4oUI7uxHc/v-deo.html
Very far, only winning the front double.
Can you do some comparisons between the early 90s olympia competitors and the WBF guys? Some "what if X had not joined the WBF" scenarios?
People forget that 2003 was not Ronnie's biggest. It was just the first year that he came in absolutely massive. He was bigger in 2004 and 2005
the random voices are hilarious “ain’t nothin but a peanut light weight baby” 😂😂
some of the later years Ronnie's back is looking asymmetrical. I don't know how much he was already effected by his injuries there. To me 1999 Ronnie is looking like the winner here.
Awesomeness!! Yeah I agree gotta go with 03 and 99 a close second
He raised his arms to high in the back double. It makes your biceps peakier, but makes the back narrow.
Yes you right but in my opinion Ron has the best bdb ever because his width lats and lower back Christmas tree and hams and gluts
Yeah I'm going with 99 ,each back pose looked and was hit better.
He was bigger in 03 but his symmetry and detail was amazing in 1999 his most complete year waistline was tight and v taper was great
2003th Ronnie Coleman on Mister Olympia stage had 287 pounds, not 300 ! In 2004th Mister Olympia had 297 pounds.
Gary Strydom says "Move over, Ronnie.....let me show you a real back!"
He was and is the GREATEST EVER!
The way his lats deteriorated is scary man
Demon Back Ron 👹
0:35 hamstrings my god they are like beef jerky.
Big Ron has the second bls and Dorian is the king of lats spread Ron is the king of bdb
1999
‘05 Ronnie was at his best overall imo.
Ronnie had great gluts biceps and back. His legs were also a strong point. I think his triceps were his weakest body part but they’re by no means bad
I'd say abs were his worst
his midsection was his worst body part, abs specifically. His triceps were great mass wise, had a great sweep which helped him out in front and back double but he had high insertions and poor separation which destroyed him in the side tricep pose, which even with good triceps, he just didn't execute well.

@@dj_m19 honestly the biggest eyesore in his side triceps is also his midsection. Like his tricep is actually not THAT bad
He has top 3 best triceps sweep in history
@@MeesterJ no.
By 2005, Ronnie’s left lat has atrophied. Not sure how you can say that it beats 2003
He mean in bdb not in bls because he in 05 his lats are more balance and better condition

DO DORIAN YATES PLEASE
Some of you may disagree, but I think Ronnie Coleman wins this comparison.
99 for me
Around 98/99 was the best of times for both size and symmetry. Really started to dislike the direction he was going after that.
99 was similar to 98 but without the gyno, so I'd say 99 is his best.
@@kringlefanten He had gyno on his lats? Sorry, had to. Yeah, I thought he corrected a lot of his issues from the 98 O. Don't know why they had to keep chasing size so much. Guess his 01 ASC win was pretty awesome too.

I think he had a tendency to look better, not just back, but overall at some of those grand prix shows. 99 was Ronnie's best physique yr overall as he hadn't gotten freakishly big yet.
But when were his glutes at their best?
I would say at the prejudging in 03 ( when he had a red string )
Ronnie's Physique was stunning natural. in the end he just got Grotesque.
Where’s the bad version?
Coleman 97 vs. Yates 97.
99 the best
