    I think the 90s was the sweet spot for bodybuilding. They brought that optimal balance between size and conditioning. Dorian had two years of outstanding presentation when he was so far ahead of the pack that nobody else was in contention. But he also ushered in the mass monster era

      Dorian wasn't really all that much bigger than those before him. Gaspari was 3 inches shorter and only 10 pounds lighter in competition. Yates just delivered that sort of mass in a far superior package, with much better balance to his physique and correspondingly his aesthetics were unreal.
      That said I think achieving that sort of conditioning would break and/or kill the majority of people. Big Ramy's hollow 'Death Face" comes to mind and he still never hit a Dorian-esque level of dryness.

    Once heard Dorian saying he once got to the Olympia stage so conditioned that he felt extreme pain at the heels of his feet. Apparently it was the bones of his feet getting in contact with the skin under his feet. Why? Because he melted almost all the fat cells in his body including under his feet. So he was literally walking on bones and it was extremely uncomfortable for him.

  • @saintjerry5363

    You can track the changes in the eras of bodybuilding with the changes in drugs. The golden era had lots of dbol, deca, Winstrol, primo, and of course test. The mass monster era came about because of the use of trenbolone, hgh, and insulin. The “grainy” skin condition that Dorian Yates is known for but also Sam Sulek and Nick walker have is caused by tren.

    The conditioning is the same, the difference is the GH use. The abuse of GH has thickened the skins of bodybuilders over the years so even if they get as peeled as the 90s they will never have the same look. Look at dorian at the end of his career when he started using GH and all the other bodybuilders of the time. GH and Insulin destroys the look, and thats why no one has death face anymore on stage.

    Not wrong at all, in-fact I agree, but it’s a money game and it changes with culture just like music. Would a 90’s guy win with the judges today ?

    Ronnie, Dexter, Phil, Jay, and quite a few more killed this guy in conditioning, he’s probably not even top 12-15 in conditioning

    This is crazy talk.. like guys nowadays are not as conditioned??? what? if he said I liked the aestetic on which guys in our days were judged alot more I would agree. To imply that the guys today just grow more but dont put in the effort to condition is clrearly false. its like bobby fisher saying coming back from the dead and going yeah with the insane development in chess over the last 50 years they may be vastly superior but they dont work as hard as we used to.

      The fact you actually believe this shit is hilarious!! Or do you just lie to make a statement so you feel important? If anything pharmaceutical-grade steroids is more potent nowadays due to the progress in terms of production.. more efficient and methods. There has always been fake and homemade drugs, and nowadays its even more common due to the demand and regulations of pharma grade medicines.. Trust me, We actually got stuff they just dream about in the 90s no matter what type of chemical. But the black Market is so shady and huge amount of fake or underdosed drugs are produced and sold. I’d guess over 75 % are either just fake or diluted stuff in the black Market. Unless you yourself go and get a prescription!!
