We have no genetic gifts today at Olimpia stage. Just look at calves: Nasser, Dorian, two Mikes, Paul, JPF... Chris ang Shawn also did great job with their genetic. I remember O'84 bicepses baby please: Albert, Robbie and Boer. What a peaks. Today Samson and Derek have no peaks and definition in arms area
None of todays guys have detailed arms. Just slabs of undefined, oil filled blobs. No chest and shoulder striations, no separated quads, no detailed backs. Watching this show again shows how much bodybuilding has regressed. This was peak.
Paul Dillett used to miss doses of "super supplements" because he didn't care for injections. I got this information from one of his very well known training partners. Paul Dillett could have been an all time great if he concentrated on all facets of bodybuilding instead of relying on his prodigious talent. Posing is indeed part of being a BB.
Shawn Ray was the real Mister Olympia in 1996th ! Everything else is empty talk. 2 to 3 poses on stage cannot decide against 4 or 5 ! With the judges, they obviously could. Due to incorrect judging and doping, it is not surprising that bodybuilding will never be recognized as an official planetary sport.
no it wasnt. The angle favours him. Go check the 96 german GP a week later and youll see Dorians back destroying colemans 70 lb of mass? not really. He was 250 here and 250 at his best in 98 or the 01 arnold the 04 waterbuffalo with a torn left lat? he was 295 in 05 and soft as melted crap , esp compared to a granite like dorian face it kids, ronnie only was comparable to dorian in condition he when he was in the 240s...later heavier versions are too damn soft
Kevin and Sonbaty on another Level. But Sonbaty takes it. Legs, chest, density is unmatched. Please have gut Yates step down from the stage, just horrible. Can't believe they let this disaster Win again and again. Well, he was the face of IFBB Europe. Kevin clearly spoke about it abd why he could not win due to that. Worst time in IFBB history.
This could possibly be the best Olympia line up ever
Olympia 96 was with 97 the best line Update.
@@ReneEngelmanon Olympia 93 were they much better))
No way
Nasser , Shawn and Flex looked REALLY GOOD here!!
My personal favorite is Nasser,I just think his arms were next level and his conditioning top notch
Nasser got all the package and still was robbed.
Too one-dimensional...back poses worst in the show😂
Nasser and Coleman had best backs on this Olympia 👏🏻
@@paulk9603 no one will ever beat dorians back, ronnie is close maybe even tied in later years but dorians back stole the show every time
FlexTV has just become the first youtube channel to release HD footage of the 1996 Olympia. Hats off to you 🏆
Anyone else think how good Charles Clairmont looks?
1996 and 1993 TOP of the TOP🎯✅

1. Nasser
2. Coleman
3. Fux

Good for you😂
Nasser 1000%
For me the golden era 🎉
Golden year
Levrone and Dillet are magic🏆📸
NASSER EL SONBATY TRUE CHAMPION FOREVER 🙌
He understood it
Nasser all the way.
Paul Dillett used to miss doses of "super supplements" because he didn't care for injections. I got this information from one of his very well known training partners.

That was before bubble guts, and nonexistent calves.
Charles Clairemont was insane
Dorian was unbelievable
You look at everyone and they look fantastic except Yates with the bloated gut.
Then comes Ronnie, unreal definition...!!!

Agreed
Mike Francois thickness is insane.
Нассер Эль Сонбати должен был стать первым на этой Олимпии! Ятс явно не в лучшей форме и даже второе место для него на МО 96 могло быть подарком!

I remember this show vividly, Ronnie was completely overlooked, Dorians win was questionable.
Dorian = The GOAT 🐐
And the man who cheat in 1997 🙄
Dorian = Gut. Not goat. Worst arms, quest pecs, worst legs. Delts horrible.
Politics gave him a few Sandows. The turtle shell gut and shit biceps can't be ignored. The injuries were obvious.
Dorian best Olympia ever
The question who has the best back, well that’s prime Dorian and Ronnie’s back is better. Additionally Ronnie went one to add another 70lbs of mass.
no it wasnt. The angle favours him. Go check the 96 german GP a week later and youll see Dorians back destroying colemans
70 lb of mass? not really. He was 250 here and 250 at his best in 98 or the 01 arnold
the 04 waterbuffalo with a torn left lat? he was 295 in 05 and soft as melted crap , esp compared to a granite like dorian
face it kids, ronnie only was comparable to dorian in condition he when he was in the 240s...later heavier versions are too damn soft
@ Respect your opinion, bro. Peace.
The back is only the back, not the whole body. Nasser beat Dorian.
@ I agree, however Nasser was an asshole and would have been a terrible ambassador for the sport.
@@Rock-gi9fn no he didn't.he was big but too weak in some poses and structurally blocky.he never was conditioned enough also
Was,Shawn's year,he was robbed
Shawn looks out of place here with his multi-fit physique😂
Dorian ❤
100% 💪💪💪
Levrone should have won
@@jerseyhomepro no way he was flat and off, he peaked earlier that yr at the Arnold.that goes for flex and dilett also
Nasser was better
Ronie se veía más grande que Dorian 😮
Yates clearly had a few wins gifted to him. His physique started to fall apart quickly.
That gut was a mess and his arms became a weak point.
Nah. Pose for pose Dorian still dominated FLS, BLS, SD and BDB. Four out of the seven mandatories. Clear win as usual.
Dorian hadn’t chest and arms. Terrible posing and stomach
Man, Paul Dillett was struggling hard. Looks like he was about to pass out.
Breathing issue, Asthma. Not easy.
Kevin and Sonbaty on another Level.
But Sonbaty takes it.
Legs, chest, density is unmatched.
Please have gut Yates step down from the stage, just horrible. Can't believe they let this disaster Win again and again.
Well, he was the face of IFBB Europe.
Kevin clearly spoke about it abd why he could not win due to that.
Worst time in IFBB history.
Go back to sleep.
Dorian best olympia ever. Granity Rock
