this is the best of mr olympia as big as they are and none of the haters can cry bubble guts these guys were huge and still kept a v taper none in history looked this good with this conditioning
Chua
ฟฟ
Even with gut,Ronnie never ever lost his v taper bcz his superhuman lays and shoulders makes his stomach look small........That's why he is Greatest
Chris should have been a solid 2nd place
Put Jay in there as well
Ronnie was just on another level that no one will ever reach again imo
true irreplacable
I saw previous show where flex wheeler honestly gave Ronnie a run for the money but in this show it’s not even close. Ronnie is bigger and better proportioned. Flex just did not have a good enough frame he was not wide enough in the shoulders and you could really see it on stage. I didn’t realize how dominant Ronnie actually was until seeing this video.
@@networkdude1332 ronnie better propounded than Flex?
LMAO
but in 1999 flex was better and should win in tkat year
@@tomaszlaski3039 nope lol
When the judge calls out “back double bicep” you can hear someone in the crowd yelling “uh-oh!” 😆💪🏼💪🏼
Man I forgot how good Chris looked that year. Phenomenal condition from all 3
Unlike Flex or Ronnie, Chris figured out running Cytadren starting 5 wks out from a show dried him out better than anything else and removed alot of pressure of getting it all right at the end using pesky diuretics.
Flexwheeler is simply superb.
Mannn….Ronnie’s individual posing routine is just awe inspiring. It was more simpler than Flex and Chris…he just came out and shown arguably the greatest physique of all time and basked in the moment, almost gracious in the moment. Really ridiculous conditioning and size….shape and symmetry too. Goat material
9:38 perfect just perfect.
Exactly
All three of these guys display phenomenal physiques.
Chris and flex look amazing standing next to each other but when ronnie is put in between them you see that the king was on a completely different level especially when they quarter turned to the rear his glute development was insane in this show
Muscles of the bodybuilders competing is much much more than the muscles shown in that given trophy 🏆
😅
I totally agree!!
Chris's arms look really suspicious. How can you be peeled all over, and vascular, then have super smooth water balloon looking biceps?
We already know Flex has the oil arms.
Ronnie has Ronnie in his biceps, no fake crap.
@@dublbude in this show actually I wouldn't say that Flex arms have oil, they look vascular and at the same level of cutness as his legs
No one in history can beat Ronnie in 99 and 03. Not Phil, not Dorian, not Cutler, not anybody. The best to ever do it.
2013-2011 Phil, 93-96 Dorian
99 real mr o was flex not ronney
Yeeeeeeeah... Right.
@@akbarshaikh477 why is that? Not saying I disagree but you need to see what Ronnie had that flex didn’t and pictures and video don’t do justice you need to be there. If you’s that are commenting have never seen Ronnie up close stop saying who he would lose to based on shitty video quality and pictures. In 99 flex looked great but I think Ronnie was better at prejudging that’s when most shows are won.
dorian beats 99 ronnie hands down
front lat spread
back lat spread
side triceps
abs thigh
4 of 7 mandtaories in 90s
GAME
OVER
Even the back double is debatable as dorians back delts calves smoke ronnies
ronnie only flat out wins hams and biceps peak
remember 93 dorian was 257 lb just like 99 ronnie, but dorian was even drier and denser-which unfortunately doesnt show up well in old pics or videos
as for 03, no way thats ronnies best
condition was crap, had a huge gut ,biggest ass ever-not a good thing, and overdeveloped quads, and the back altho huge was way softer and lacking n detail
03=redundant size
Ronnie '99 is the best physique in the history of mankind, and we are lucky to witness it.
He was big and taller, to me I would definitely prefer to look like flex wheeler
@@theriseofnumidia Man, Wheeler was full of oil, he looked bad.
@@ferminordonez4275 absolutely he looks better at his prime,
@@theriseofnumidia Yeah, in his prime, not in the 99, even Coleman looked more aesthetic.
best physiqueß mass wise..shape wise Jay and Flex
Best version of Ronnie! No one in history can beat this physique!
Totally agree!!!
Straight up ……….. Nigga!
Bruh!!... i was in awe!
YEP! YEP! YEP!
@@analogueconsciousness8112 and this is what we call an opinion...
Just watched the 2021 Arnold finals, and no disrespect to today's bodybuilders, but this video just shows how much more amazing '99 Ronnie, Flex, and Chris were compared to Nick, Ian, and Steve of today. Night and day difference.
Right?! Todays guys just for some reason never come in with the same level of conditioning and I don’t know why. I think the last time we saw crazy conditioning was the last showdowns between Ronnie and Jay then things seems to changed to pure mass and size and conditioning dropped off.
@@fartnutssupreme4930 I believe the quality of the muscle has also gone down due to insulin use. They use to use back in the 90s as well but I believe it had just started to take off during the mid or late 90s. Dorian said he used it prior to the 97 Olympia and while he did gain a lot more muscle that it wasn't quality muscle. Less separation between the muscle groups like from the delts and biceps for example. I believe that is why alot of today's bodybuilders look like mutants
The 90s was the greatest decade for bodybuilding today’s Olympia Competitors wouldn’t even make the top 5 Big Ramy would get destroyed by Dorian Yates, Ronnie Coleman and jay cutler and so on..The standards for bodybuilding today is less disciplined they still look amazing but back then they didn’t blast a bunch of steroids like they do today most 90s bodybuilders are still alive today because they did everything correctly
The lighting was Better at this show and this is the Olympia.
Bro u didn't disrespect them , this bodybuilders of today they disrespected this game by showing their selfs at the stage
Ronnie Coleman one of the best physiques cannot be matched in the sport today.
Kinda insulting to use “one of”
Best Years Of Bodybuilding ❤️🔥👌🏻
2003
8:45 that is unbeatable! What a freak!
Watching Ronnie in this gave me chills and reminds me of watching Michael Jordan. Just mind blowing. A whole other level on size, separation, conditioning. Way above the rest. It also highlights how far the standard has dropped since.
Right!!
Muscles of the bodybuilders competing is much much more than the muscles shown in that given trophy 🏆
😅
Gut, no forearms and a little bit of gyno say otherwise...
My first time of watching Ronnie's routine from '99. Incredible! His back poses were amazing. 🙀
What a line up! The best era of bb.
Just look at all these gentleman.....damn...the conditioning, muscle separation, shoulder to wait to thigh ratio...........just pure awesomeness, the 90's was stacked with legends.
Many were unlucky not to win just because the era was just saturated with awesome physiques.
Alas the physiques of today look like lab experiments gone wrong...........just ugly massive physiques.
Thanks for the upload.
This was the best Mr. Olympia ever! 🙌💯💪
Gotta love that HD crystal clear video with perfect 90’s lighting.
1999 Mr. Olympia Chris Cormier's back development is unbelievable the second best back after Ronnie 😎
Wow its like watching the bodybuilding all-star game. Best bodybuilding show in history.
No human has ever hit Ron's Level!
And that is what we call an opinion, kids.
@@matarahmadal_atif9359 enlighten us mr know it all .. who is better than Ronnie ?? Kid.
at normal without posing flex looks mascular but when executing a pose ronnie is spectacular
Ronnie's biceps have biceps.
Chris is an absolute legend 🌟👍😁
Ronnie looking like a walking talking muscle diagram. That back is just truly insane.
The detail on the back was just next level.
For me Ron Coleman is the another level
Thats why90s kids childhood was awesome
All Unforgettable Legends
90s the era of Kings of bodybuilders all bodybuilders are the legends
Always like flex wheeler,want to see him winning atleast one Mr. Olimpia title but honestly no one can beat this version of king Coleman, no body.. G.O.A.T. king Ron.
All the 90's guys had insane conditioning 😲👌
Ронни лучший. Как только он повернулся спиной,двум другим парням можно было уходить со сцены. Такие широчайшие!!! Низ широчайших!!! Верх спины лучший в истории! Объемы рук феноменальные! Высота бицепса невероятная. И вся эта мышечная масс а сечётся! Качество мышц великолепное!!!
Ронни лучший на все времена!
но что такое бодибилдинг? Посмотри в какой фоме Кормье. вот что такое элита
That upper body ,the arm and the back of Ronie Coleman is the maximal that bodybuilder can ever reach.His abs is really iconic, what kind of workout to make abs like that.
No one in that stage are like that.
Romantic era of bodybuilding
Coleman numero uno in assoluto irraggiungibile imbattibile inarrivabile
King Coleman is far superior all day, all night, all year long. Untouchable. His posing is slow and beautiful. More pleasent to watch than Flex disco hip hop dancing on stage with fast posing.
Cormier Beats Flex all day. 99 Ronnie could beat everyone for the last 23 years!!! Insane package 🔥🔥
Best version of big Ron
Ronnie Coleman monstro 💪🏼🔥🔥
Epic battle . No words for this tournament
Best Mr olympia version Al of the time 👌🏼
Cris' physique was stunning!!
Craziest thing about Ron might be the fact that he looks like he used no synthol and yet everyone else was filled. It’s wild
Antigamente era um show mesmo 👏👏 hoje em dia os caras não fazem nada disso, é uma pena porque esse show buzines deixa tudo mais legal, top demais 👏
Can’t imagine 2 of the 3 bodybuilding legends can’t even walk now
Ronnies back was injured before he started bodybuilding..when he was playing football ....and flex had a rare hereditary kidney disease ..that's why the other one came out physical well because he did not have preexisting injuries or sickness before bodybuiding ..
Best olympia I’ve seen
Ahhhhh yes, the good ole days when the competitors looked absolutely amazing AND actually did a posing routine. Unfortunately posing has gone by the wayside these days. I really miss seeing the end result of a lot of work on a posing routine.
Ronnie, good poser?
@@larrywerdeniuk8157 in his early days, yes
@@milanstanimirovic1371 so he went from good to terrible? Lol
@@larrywerdeniuk8157 yes
@@larrywerdeniuk8157 because then he started raising the roof and shit like this, he actually did shawn rays routine here
just from ronnie's posing routine alone, i can tell that he really enjoy what he does.
Ronnie is Just from another planet
É, não tem jeito. Colemann era imbatível nessa época. Volume, simetria e definição perfeitos!
What a great line up, miss these days.
Yeah Buddy , light weight baby !!!
O confronto mais apertado de todos os Mr.Olympia q existiu 👏🏻👏🏻😲
Man, how do you pick between these guys. They are al on point!!!! Unreal.. 10xs better than today.
WOW! Chris looked very good here!!
Chris was ultra crisp here and I had him in 2nd ahead of flex but I’m not a ifbb judge
they're all so amazing but Chris' routine was meant for another stage lmao
Hahahahah
🤣🤣🤣🤣 he looked drunk.
Yeah, I did not like all that stripper s%#t
Watching a extremely muscular grown man strip-dance is very odd. 🤣
hahahah
1999 Mr.Olympia in my opinion:
1. Flex Wheeler
2. Kevin Levrone
3. Ronnie Coleman
So Awesome
Chris Cormier the Real Deal pose .. wow 👌
I was here, a sophomore in college with a friend-drove into Vegas from Redlands, CA (this was the first one in Vegas-at the mandalay bay), first and only olympia I attended happened to be the most controversial as well as Coleman's first win of 8....the expo before hand was great-met lots of pros-the only person that was not nice was shawn ray-really cocky dude with a 'tude....but all else were nice.
They are so unbelievably diced.
Ronnie is a beast, no one can beat that physique.
This is probably a controversial opinion, but prime Cormier is IMO better than prime Dexter Jackson, Chris lacked no bodypart at all, he even had good calves, his structure was ideal and his development was very well proportioned.
That shape could have been Mr O in the 80s.
He could have had bigger arms
I agree . He was pretty flawless in all areas.
He was better than Flex in this show fpr sure, Flex reeked of oil everywhere and his rear lat spread was so narrow
Flex ran over to hug Chris as if to tell him ‘bro we are settling for 2nd and 3rd’
I love Dorian Yates. He is probably my favorite, but Ronnie Coleman is utterly unbeatable 1998-2002, for sure.
Crazy beasts....... One rules..... They have changed the bodybuilding world.
Sad to hear flex loosing his leg . But it awsome that he still exercises in the gym and is helping new talent. Similar with Ronnie...... Had multiple surgeries but still standing .
That's why they will always be champions irrespective of their health and recent conditions.
God bless you all ..,....... Champs forever
No one beats Ronnie in 99. Not Dorian, not jay, not Phil
Only Flex!
@@cercelsever814 but Ronnie had beaten flex that time it means no one could have beaten Ronnie that era
@@badalsinghthakur8442 Look at these pictures and answer honestly if you think Ronnie really won in front of Flex that year ?!
Flex in 1999 was the God of bodybuilding but the referees disfavored him as they have done in the past with Mentzer, Nasser, or later with Jay or Victor Martinez at mr. Olympia. The truth is that Ronnie in general was perhaps the best of all time!
@@cercelsever814 Ronnie's body was the best body ever all time
@@badalsinghthakur8442 Absolutely agree with you with the statement that at Mr. Olympia 1999, Flex was the king!
Ronnie's back in my opinion stands out here against the other two competitors .
Ronnie is just dominating these guys....Flex wheeler needed to have tighter hamstrings and glutes and a wider rear lat spread. As has been often said, Bodybuilding shows are won from the back...and nobody in history has ever shown a better back side then Ronnie...
Ronnie’s hams and calves weren’t displayed well from the rear at all! They were all good. Flex posed his physique the worst of the three but I’ve always felt he never knew how to select the correct poses or posing routine for his physique.
@3:24 i dont think the ladies knew weather to look or throw dollars at Cormier
🤣😂🤣
🇧🇷Ronnie Coleman sem dúvida é um 👽 uma Lenda viva que na sua época era fenomenal , mas na minha humilde opinião se fosse pra escolher os shape top com certeza seria o do Flex Wheeler cara todo fatiado lapidado trincado e grande e depois o Chris Comier eles eram tops de mais da conta ...
Abraço
Questão é que Coleman e Arnold jamais serão superados , eles são o Pelé e Maradona do futebol sem comentários
Chris Cromer is so underrated
Ronnie was light years ahead of all these guys...his size and condition is on another level.
like he said he had 'technology'... lol
what video did you watch? size? where is he bigger than cormier
they have remarkably similar sized legs, id even argue cormiers quads are better separated and way more feathered. And he has slightly better calves
Cormier is easily matchin ronnie on lat width also, noticeable in the w lat spreads
ronnie has slightly bigger upper arms and more striated glutes but thats about it
cormiers abs smoke ronnies
All three are superb....
Ronnie definitely WIN 👍
Não vai ter outro igual ,a lenda da história fisiculturismo
The best first callout of history
Man how good does Flex look here!
99 03 version of king are unbeatable even for king himself he was that damn dominant! A fucking alien among humans !
no one can beat Ronnie Coleman "the king"
El doble de bicep de Coleman es indubitamente impresionante!
Es verdad . Lo que note que no habia tanta difercia de tamaño con los otros en piernas si en espalda
@@perseorodriguez1 Ésa comparación particularmente,estamos hablando de un Chris Cormier y Flex Wheeler con un exelente acondicionamiento, pero sin embargo debo insistir;el doble bíceps de frente y espalda de Coleman se diferencia,amigo mío,y yo no soy o era fan de Ronnie!
Galera que veio por causa do Jorlan pode deixar o Like 👍
Not sure why wheeler was pissed. I think Chris should have got 2nd .
9:38 just perfect !
Bruh!!.. who can argue that?...
Best line up ever
Ronnie Coleman’s routine appeared graceful and humble with sincerity - personality plays a large part in winning and I think many bodybuilders neglect this aspect. Ronnie is sincere and seems to be truly himself - this in itself scores major points with the judges, aside from him having an amazing physique.
I agree. Flex Wheeelers cocky attitude and grim smile togheter with that ear rings makes one want to punch him in the face. He looks like he watch himself in the mirror when wanking/jerking.
no one can beat Ronnie Coleman
Ronnies conditioning and detail is out of this world. No one in history is beating this physique. No jay cutlers, no flex wheelers, no Phil heaths (although closest) are beating 1999 coleman. The quality of muscle and conditioning is the best any human has ever achieved.
i agree...
Dorian had same size( 257 lb in 93 just as 99 Ron) and even better conditioning
I would even argue Yates had better balance in the lower body becuse he had calves
If you really think about it Dorian has none of the issues that prevent the 3 guys you mentioned in your comment from taking Ron out
Jay has size but falters from the back, Yates dont have that issue as he was proly even better from the back than Ronnie
Flex was narrow and soft, Yates was much wider and best ever condition
Phil is too small, albeit well conditioned. Id say his balance is a bit off, too arm dominant and even lowr body dominant 2013 or after.Yates has NONE of these issues , yet again.he is is not too small and certainly not badly balanced, esp 93 or 95
Really the only argument Ron has over Yates is the shape argument but historically shape hasnt decided contests, esp in modern era
My God...that back! 19:11
It will not be duplicated anymore....PERIOD
One thing for sure they both were making it hard for Ronnie 💪
Best lineup ever. 💪
A Flex non gli si poteva dire niente la sua sfortuna è aver incontrato Ronny che lo ha declassato di una categoria.
Ronnie 1999 - The best of all-time
At 9:31 you see that ronnie can be aesthetic in the ab and thigh
