I was out back stage talking to Ronnie that night. I knew he was going to win. Flex looked phenomenal also. I put the third coat of posing oil on Ronnie’s back and the thickness was insane. All those years of heavy lifting. He was absolutely shredded.
Chris Cormier was my favorite in the 90's and as a young bodybuilder I looked up to him coz dude was huge and well tone and cut only underrated and was unfortunate he competed with king Ronnie Coleman. Fair judging despite all guys were deserving to win Ronnie Coleman was class above the best
18:07 Arnie, Lee and Dorian were the most decorated and Lee and Dorian had the best backs, then came the guy who went on to become the GREATEST OF ALL TIME with THE BEST BACK IN HISTORY, Ronnie the 👑 of kings, the GOAT Coleman!
10th place back then has better conditioning and muscle quality than of a 1st place mr. Olympia nowadays. That goes to show how terrible the mr. Olympia has devolved into.
@@Marc98338it’s a combination of things. The training intensity and free weight movements. The diets Back then were different. The access to much higher quality pharmaceuticals over the counter and behind the counter. No social media so there was less stress less distractions. This is just my opinion only.
Ronnie has such a beautiful soul. He is a man with spirit and good will. Funny to see everyone around him not having a clue that he was going to be an 8 time Mr O and the best of all time.
Flex wheeler lost my respect by acting the way he did. He did not look better then Ronnie and the judges showed it by giving him 2nd place. Ronnie is the greatest Mr. OLYMPIA ever. Flex should have been happy he got second place, he was the 2nd best bodybuilder in the world and that is something to be proud of.
Your eyes clearly didn't and still don't work...symmetry, lines, muscle bellies etc etc.. even Ronnie admitted flex could've won!! Flex had the whole pyshic that night!

Bodybuilding at its perfect and best mode. No one and I mean no one in history will ever be able to beat this line up along with 1998 Mr Olympia. They will even fail men's physique line up of today's era.
Ray, to me, always had the best "daily walking around body" of any competitor i've ever seen. Like that body could just walk down the street and people would say dude looks good, he must work out. Ronnie had the "omg, i could never look like that" body...like not even achievable with all the chemical assistance in the world. Ronnie broke his body and probably could have won several O's without doing that much to his body (physically...not talking enhancements because everyone uses that). But, no one else in the world beat their body to death like Ronnie. I believe he could have dialed back and still won 5-6 O's, maybe even the 8 he won. I just don't think Ronnie knew what dialing back was. He didn't know what pace was. He knew one speed and that was full steam ahead and one direction, straight forward. I met him once and he was probably the most humble guy i've ever met at that time. Shouts out to "light weight" Ronnie Coleman.
If Dillett had as much galactic depth, width and detail in his back as his other parts and could pose properly he’d be unbeatable and GOAT. Only the legendary Sergio Oliva had that ridiculous waist to Shoulder differential to match Dilletts. Why didn’t he at least invest in a good choreography coach or something?? It could have made a huge difference, he could’ve mastered even hiding weaknesses, what a waste.
It's because it's difficult to move with 130 kg and cramps. Ask Markus Rühl, but Paul Dillet was worse. But I don't care about that, Paul looked magnificent even without posing.
@@JohnGaltAustria Yes, good point, and and I recall he had a pretty serious collapse during completion that spelled the beginning of the end of his career.
If you know anything about Pro Bodybuilding, you'd agree that this was the Greatest Top 6 of any Olympia.....past, present, well, i might say even the Future based on whats going on now
Ronnie no dought king of his Era But Flex My Most Fav Bcz He Have Amazing Shape always in great condition but he lost bcz of his attitude always 🙃 judges check everything like attitude too. Ronnie And Rammy and Jay the Most Humble Person in Body Building Industry ✌🏽 Respect ●●
In todays judging, flex would have hands down won, it’s a no brainer he had the better symmetry, definition, full muscle bellys, but during this time mass was really more important than symmetry
Great camera, great cameraman, great angles, great lighting..all lost in time when seeing today's Olympias!! Not only the lines, even their facial expression is captured in such detail .. I miss those days videos.. Technology, creativity and presentation has gone backwards. Except a few bodybuilders the posing has nothing entertaining. Its just mass monsters with no brains mandatory posing to a novice cameraman under inappropriate lighting and background..in gaining money this sport has lost respect. Not long before fans lose interest.
This was the best lineup ever in the history of bodybuilding!! 💪💪
This was one of the Best lineups EVER!!
The top 10 could have won the O two years ago.
I have to agree. All Star lineup
FACTS
indeed
Insane line up. The quality of these guys is incredible.
Legends. Size and conditioning. We'll never see this again.

Everyone has gut when they're relaxed. Even Dexter Jackson and Darrem Charles. Wise up hater
Couldn't agree with you more, they were prestige! Prestige, and Nasir is such a good dude on stage with them, open and friendly! RIP
Absolutely. Any one of those guys would destroy the entire line up from the past 4 years
Best Olympia line-up ever in history.

Ronnie Coleman was his absolute best at the 1999 Mr Olimpia.
He totally blew away the entire lineup.
Sen körsün
He obviously won for a reason, but, blew away is an exaggeration.
Man you can watch this 1000 times and your eyes just stick to Levrone like a magnet👑👑👑
Best Olympia line-up ever 🔥🔥🔥
When his mom flexes.. you can see the importance of genetics 🧬💪
really appreciate the quality of the video, Flex is my favorite, but Ronnie win, there is no contest
I think 1999 was Ronnie Coleman's best look.....perfect combination of size and definition.
No man that's 2003

Lee Haney and Dorian have only big backs overall Lee Haney is very overrated nothing much special in his body
Hail to the king of bubble gut!

Muscle just seems different nowadays. Look at the muscle when they flex back then. Todays muscle is like a brick.

Hadi at the AC and in 2019, Phill and Jay were also pretty good. But yeah, I agree. Derek, Brandon, Ramy, etc, wouldn't even be top 8 back then
The quality of this video is SO good! I wish all UA-cam videos of the 90’s Mr Olympia looked this nice, well done!!! 👍🏽
Jeeezzz this lineup was craazzyyy, packed with legends!!!
All the competitors back then were incredibly fit just awesome all of them the best bodybuilding era hands 👏 down.👍
Those guys were truly amazing....love the era.
8:42 for a second i Said is that Phil heath 🤦🏻♂️😂😂😂😂😂
Me too
I was looking for this comment.

I was just about to type that shit.😂

Todays olympians would never reach the peak like the 90’s era bodybuilders ,crazy shreds mass monsters ,asthetic,well balanced physique.
This was a stacked lineup!!!
just the level of conditioning on these guys unmatched and for sure the best lineup ever
КАКИЕ ШИКАРНЫЕ АТЛЕТЫ ТОГДА БЫЛИ! И КАКАЯ СЕЙЧАС ДЕГРАДАЦИЯ!!!
Сто процентов
Why is everyone so mad at Flex for turning around at the end? He was just trying to show us why he lost
😆
😂🤣
Nicely done🤣🤣🤣
I see what you did, you're right!😂
nice one😂
Best Line up in Bodybuilding History 🔥❤️
But today we miss this type of line up😢
Legends. To think now Flex and Ronnie can no longer walk on their own. They sacrificed their bodies and longevity to look like this.
Flex had nothing to do with body building though he had some congenital disease
@@terryfonz4603 it did. no doubt roids and growth + insuline helped mess him up or contributed enough to make it as bad as it got.
Cap, I saw Ronnie 5 years after he retired, he was still big and could walk, surgeries messed him up
@@yoked391so why did he get the surgeries then🤦🏻♂️
@fivestarlimos Ronnie himself said that he had a genetic predisposition, surgery is a matter of time
Nasser el sonbaty one of my favorites bodybuilders 🥲
Best days of Ronnie Coleman’s life and the best days of ours back at in the day. All thanks to God and yeah Buddy!! 🎊
What did God do?
Flex's frustration is totally understandable. Anyone with eyes can see that.
That huge gut is invisible for Ronnies fanboys... That shouldn't be called body building...
@@cantgetright2545 What about the clear synthol in flex's arms? Of course it isn't as much as those synthol freaks but its definitely visible.
Вот это Олимпия была. Одни звезды. Один лучше другого, а счас. Один хуже другого, из худших выбираем лучшего. А на видео, из лучших, надо выбрать лучшего.
Very unsportsmanlike of Flex to do that, he lost fair and square.
100% agree!! way too much ego on his behalf. Up close you can easily see Ronnie was bigger, better conditioned and muscle seperation.
Holy shit ronnie back make everything done
Flex deserved that No 1 he was more in shape, Ronnie was just too big .
Flex was better..That wasnt fair and square at all..
@@theriseofnumidia not only big muscular you see masssive the back was destroy flex flex better in the abs little bit and more detail in tricep but not massive enough …
Insane video quality. thank you
Chris Cormier should've been 2nd.. he was in the Best shape of his Life.
No. he had a serious case of gyno.
@@ejay4032 Flex had a serious case of SEO abuse and soft conditioning.

best shape ever
dont think ive seen a better line up then this ever. this line up would smoke todays line up. thats insane how much better these guys looked
Highly competitive lineup - legends who walked the stage
Omg thank you for uploading this man ..respect
can’t wait to see 2019 mr.o back stage footage in the year 2041
Wow I didn’t remember Cormier getting 3rd beating some legends too. He was definitely on it for this show.
current body builders are nothing in front of old school
Golden year of bodybuilding
Hey now that is an Olympia not dead like today have great bodybuilders bring back the crowd cheers the epic pose downs the emotions the facial expressions mean dame you could hear Ronnie smashing every pose
you shouldn’t be yelling when hitting a pose that’s ducking autistic. crowds were also crazier in the late 80s early 90s
If they had only Dorian Yates with them I would definitely say that these are the Top Bodybuilding Team Of All Time 💯
I love how happy chris cormier was after placing third. Parading his trophie to the crowd in utter joy. What a humble guy
I think that's the best placing Cormier had of his Olympia contests.
I never understood why guys even at that level crowd one another.
Ronnie Coleman
Legend Forever
Apart from flex n Ronnie
Chris cormier too looked badass 😮definitely worthy to hv been amongst the best in that era
This is why, ladies and gentlemen, Ronnie Coleman is the Greatest of All time!
And why Flex Wheeler is not... Sore loser

3.
It broke my heart when I saw in 99 that Flex Wheeler came in second position.
Ronnie was a bit too much for Flex.....Wheeler was playing the size game but he would have gotten 1st minus Ronnie in line up
By far the Best show ever, the best of the best by far….they all had heart….the way it should be….God Bless!…..
Ronnie,Flex and Chris look like Twin Brothers 😄
BEST OLYMPIA EVER ❤️
All legends together…
the energy on this line up is crazy
Lee priest placed so low… kevin and nasser as well, flex lost… this was one weird olympia
Ronnie deserves ❤
it's a fixed show, Flex was way more appealing and symmetrical but sponsors already decided even before the "race" was on
He was just two short!!! U said that about lee
THE KING RONNIE COLEMAN 👑
What an Legendary line up! ❤
nobody can defeat prime Ronnie. king for a reason
Men of HARD WORK. DEDICATION, DISCIPLES OF PERFECTION.
Nasser was better than others.
If you know anything about Pro Bodybuilding, you'd agree that this was the Greatest Top 6 of any Olympia.....past, present, well, i might say even the Future based on whats going on now
Morale of the story for Flex: Be humble when you are successful. You never know what’s going to happen tomorrow.
I love Ronnie. The best, most beautiful body ever 1999. Two the best Mr Olympia contests 1993 and 1999
Ронни Великий и Лучший
These Physiques are so pleasant to look at .
Notice phill heath watching the competition and cheers for ronnie coleman

All bodybuilders are still best than todays mr olympia 😮
Ronnie just destroying everyone in muscle mass. Wasn't even close. '99 and 2003 was the best of all time
My two favorites are Roncoli Man and Flex Wheeler, but the truth must be said that Flex Wheeler had a great time.

And much mor on his shoulders
Yes.
He was ranking #1 on Google with all that seo

Flex is mad that even with synthol is in biceps, triceps, and rear delts, he couldn't beat Ronnie
Flex Wheeler's body was very awesome and he should have got the title of Mr. Olympia.

Shawn Ray is the best here. Absolutely
8:43 looks like Phil heath.
What a lineup of legends!
Who is that at 8:43 ? Heath?
Flex wheeler when taking that sheet with medal🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 from that old man" Give this sheet to me you old chap".😂
