Now you see this is what Mr. Olympia should look like, massive but still aesthetically pleasing with a fantastically tight midsection, showcasing an incredibly impressive v-taper. Everything is proportionate (legs could be a tad bit bigger, but that's nit-picking) and one muscle doesn't overshadow the other. Is Shawn Ray short? Yes, but that should *never* be the deciding factor in a bodybuilding show. This man deserved at least one Sandow.
If he had this size before Dorian and Ronnie came out he could've maybe stood a chance against Lee haney. Sorry but he had no chance against Dorian and Ronnie. Not only his calves, lats and shoulders are small but he isn't that wide at all. He is aesthetic, perfect midsection but again, he didnt stand a chance against bigger guys like Dorian and Ronnie (over 270lbs) with the same condition and shape like him. All you think about is midsection and aesthetic, well thats not bodybuilding is about. Its about having size, coming in good shape, good condition and also being good at posing
***** You honestly think Yates was aesthetic? .... Haney was probably the last of that era with aesthetics for this size.. once Yates came in the sport grew to how much mass you can attain and be conditioned. Aesthetics were at that point thrown out just about completely.
***** By that same token, you can't ignore that you lose certain things in the pursuit of pure mass like Dorian and Ronnie. Granted, they're mostly aesthetic values like I had mentioned, but even still, you can't say one is important over the other. Heavier you go, the less aesthetic and more bulkier you become, the opposite applies when you're too lean with no mass. It's about finding the perfect halfway point. It's only in the 90's did it become just about being freakishly large and pumping enough cutting agents into yourself to maintain any kind of vascularity and low BF%. Considering how bodybuilding is these days, there is absolutely no reason to allow anybody under 5'8 and 275 pounds to be in the lineup, because they're not going to be considered for the big prize anyway. And there have been plenty of times where the biggest person on stage (basically Ronnie or Dorian) didn't come in the best of shape and still won simply because they were gigantic (and for political reasons likely). Bodybuilding has two camps: the ones who just want to see freakish size, and those who prefer the classical lines and shape. Right now, Phil Heath is the best representation of having both worlds meet in the middle (but even still, there are people who want Kai in Big Ramy in the top spot because they're bigger).
+maartenM1992 height has nothing to do with it. Phil heath is like 5'9'' and most of the other olympia competitors are around that height and shawn isn't far from that either. the reason he never won was probably due to the fact he had to go up against dorrian,flex,kevin,nasser and lee preist. Not to mention the other incredible competitors
Juice kai greene. Dennis wolf.Dexter jackson. each of these could beat phil, given phil would have to be off. Except for Kai. He's a serious contender.
@@mrmurphypiers1241 Dorian Cow Yeates, who cares how big he was, still looked like a steroid chicken. this guy had striations that Dorian could not ever dream about. midsection of Dorian was like for a obese size
Shawn Ray was the epitome of Bodybuilding, Aesthetics, Condition, Symmetry and, he was also an exceptional poser too on stage. Give me the Physique of Shawn over the like's of Ramy, Heath and, Winklar any day of the week!
Fantastic condition muscular full vascular definition separation it is true just like somebody mentioned he looks a lot better than a lot of bodybuilders now in these days the (NO) stomach problems no protruding... Uncrowned..... Olympia
mannn this guy was incredible ive never herd of him till my friend told me about him, great physique, and u can tell this was in the 90s due to the socks and the snapback !! thats awesome
his body was perfect, exact symettry. hes one of those bodybuilders that isnt too big just perfectly perportioned, symetrical and top notch condition. CANNOT believe he was never mr. o
A dream body that lots would love to have. One of the Best symmetrical, Esthetic, Classic, Muscular and V-shape body to mention some. He would probably easily be Mr OLympia a couple of time If, they wouldn't just go by mass muscles in Mr Olympia competitions.
THE... GREATEST...EVER...... stunning, ripped, small six pack abs..... wow..... Shawn is truly the most balanced, aesthetically phenomenal bodybuilder EVER. Did I say EVER????? EVER.
Exactly! That's what i think too, I can't believe he never won Mr O. I really thing he had one of the greatest physiques EVER. If there is one body builder i'd like to look like, it would be Shawn Ray.
At the age of 18 he had a better body than most people will have in their whole life. Respect
Uncrowned Mr.Olympia. No weaknesses! He had it all!
If being a midget is not a weaknesses then i don't know what is. Don't get me wrong, he was almost perfect, he just lacked structure.

The smartest bodybuilder ever for me....
He wasn't caught up in the SIZE game, remained himself throughout his career.
How can someone be so big and so aesthetic at the same time
Its called drugs
Conditioning .
@mixed videos You should become a coach
He was the smallest on stage in 1990's
@@cornelwhite7713 always one idiot hahah
He was in the Top 5 of the Mr. Olympia 12 times in a row (1990-2001). There should be an award for this.
Biggest aesthetically pleasing bodybuilder ever.. legend.
Great abs (and everything else). The "roid gut" phenomenon looks so, so gross. Takes away from the rest of the body for sure.

That shot of him doing lat pull-downs is astounding. THAT is some serious muscle development!
There was NOT A SINGLE flaw in this man's physique...amazing
Went to High School with Shawn and ran into him at the gym once, he is amazing!
The posing routine at the end has the 'holy shit' factor for me.
Omg yeah!!!
Along with Kevin Levrone and Flex Wheeler, Shawn Ray is one the top physiques of his era that never won the Olympia! It's an injustice!!!!!!!!!
Amazing. Incredible. The best shape ever at the final. Really impressive.
Looks 100x better than the guys on stage today.
Every one was better then
.....
Right-on, you know!
@@paulstefan357 right
For real.
@@InstinktGermany Meanwhile the "badass" with a octagon on his profile also agree
The rage in the last reps at the seated row machine! that's motivation!
How did this guy not win mr olympia? His physique was carved by the gods themselves!
the most complete bodybuilder!! respect bro!
Shawn Ray was the epitome of Bodybuilding, Aesthetics, Condition, Symmetry and, he was also an exceptional poser too on stage.
Give me the Physique of Shawn over the like's of Ramy, Heath and, Winklar any day of the week!
Started serious lifting at 16 in 91. He was THE Ideal personification of bodybuilding to me back then and still is until today.
This is hands down one of the best tributes I have seen.
Solid work bro.
After mr Arnold I'm big fan of Mr Shawn ray,his dedication ,perform in full range of motion with discipline , 👌🎩,
No. 1 symmetrical muscular, sized with manly looks.. I love this legend.. Huge respect..
After watching this The little back and forth between him & dexter Jackson doesn’t compare. Most definitely an uncrowned Mr. O
Fantastic condition muscular full vascular definition separation it is true just like somebody mentioned he looks a lot better than a lot of bodybuilders now in these days the (NO) stomach problems no protruding... Uncrowned..... Olympia
mannn this guy was incredible ive never herd of him till my friend told me about him, great physique, and u can tell this was in the 90s due to the socks and the snapback !! thats awesome
Amazing bent- over row technique!
Yep I do that too
50/50.
The Greatest uncrowned Mr. Olympia of all time
Alongside with Levrone
He is the real monster of 90 era in Mr. Olympia
I'vw watched this video already like 20 times in 3 days and i still dont got enough of it:D
💯👍💪👊 THAT WAS AWESOME, GREAT JOB 👍💯
He and Arnold are the most aesthetic bodybuilders I‘ve ever seen. That he never won Mr. Olympia is a scandal..
Mr. Flawless...the one and only!
his body was perfect, exact symettry. hes one of those bodybuilders that isnt too big just perfectly perportioned, symetrical and top notch condition. CANNOT believe he was never mr. o
Well he was robbed in 94, Dorian was off his game and Shawn was clearly better than him that year
1000 times better than today's bodybuilder...
Не видел я более сбалансированного результата. Потрясающий атлет. ИМХО лучшее, что удалось достичь кому-либо.
Symmetrical and amazing proportions....he did not have a weak body part....its sad they never crowned him Mr O.
So true. A lot of people call "the Arnold era" the golden era of bodybuilding but the early 90's was the pinnacle in my opinion.
Shawn Ray my favorite inspiration when I were workout in the 90’s
Most aesthetic body ever developed. Shawn was an artist!
A legend of the sport truly love this tribute
The posing time from 4:18... DAMN. Conditioning, quality, vascularity... There are no bodybuilders today that comes even near to these conditioning...
Man I can't stop watching this
Fucking Legend. 1 of the best bodybuilders ever.
One of the best bodybuilders of the early to mid 90's, Should have gotten his Olympia win
A dream body that lots would love to have. One of the Best symmetrical, Esthetic, Classic, Muscular and V-shape body to mention some. He would probably easily be Mr OLympia a couple of time If, they wouldn't just go by mass muscles in Mr Olympia competitions.
Shawn Ray's physique at 17 was absolutely incredible. It really is like a work of art.

Exactly! That's what i think too, I can't believe he never won Mr O. I really thing he had one of the greatest physiques EVER. If there is one body builder i'd like to look like, it would be Shawn Ray.
Unos de los mejores culturistas, de los 90 simétricos. Mi preferido.
