This is the most valuable bodybuilding material ever put on film.
That 2 pac album had just come out too, damn I miss the mid 90s
Yeah, passed away during the filming of this video too
Nasser El Sonbaty was such a character. "I just hope that all the other competitors eat lots of french fries and hamburger prior to the contest not afterwards." Man I love this guy, alone his personality gave him something special.
Call me a nostalgic but this is the golden era of bodybuilding. I still train but i can barely name 3 actual pro bber. They are all the same to me. Back in the day they were all different, personality, look, training style. I still got on my mind most of the rock n roll song from the bfto.
Agreed Jerome! The 90’s were definitely a different era of bodybuilding that I don’t think can ever be replicated.
Exactly. Today its not interesting anymore
You are 100 percent right
Yeah same with life all for money and no ideology retarded no nothing know no excitement only nihilistic bores or raving junkies
All these guys today literally look the same… I mean the 90’s their physique were so unique
Early Ronnie was such a bodybuilding beast. Mid section was in control, and just muscle bubbles with striatum’s everywhere. The absolute best bodybuilder ever
Dam Paul dullet was a monster goddam. All that mass with a controlled and tight midsection damn
Watching this 2 weeks away from the Olympia in 2021 and no one even compares to Paul
Shawn Ray in 94 was one in a million physic and he was spitting facts from the start to the end
No he's just a bitter excuse maker.
bare in mind that everyone is biased and everyone sees the situation from their perspective. Shawn Ray is biased to his own physique, he sees small, aesthetic bodybuilders as the pinnacle of bodybuilding. He sees his body type as dominant or superior to mass monsters, I mean he said it as much.
The reality is different, aesthetics have never been more important than size and conditioning which are the 2 pillars of the sport. Take it back to the 60s and you'll see the trend that I'm talking about. From Oliva to Arnold to Haney, SIZE, STATURE, that's what kept winning and that didn't change after them either.
Mr. Olympia, or any other bodybuilding show, is not a beach body competition. What the public thinks or fantasizes about is irrelevant, because the sport of bodybuilding has rules and a set judging criteria by which shows are judged. Shawn Ray was 210 pounds, frail, narrow and still not more conditioned than Yates or Coleman. According to what logic did he ever deserve to beat someone 50 pounds bigger and more conditioned than himself? You're gonna tell me Shawn Ray ever won the front lat spread against Yates? side tricep? back double? back lat spread? Please. If you think that then you are a legit casual that shouldn't be talking about bodybuilding. Shawn Ray has no business in winning any of the aforementioned poses, Yates was too big, too conditioned, too thick, too dense , too wide for Ray to ever do anything
@@dj_m19 your opinion about ray is about as useless as his rants.
@@themindmuscleconnection2851 good one. That applies to yourself
Lol you said physic
From Sammir in the early 80s through Ronnie in 2003, these were the true golden years of bodybuilding. So many Champions. So many unique, chiseled physiques.
@Popa i agree. It's just that I lived through Ronnie's reign and was a big fan. That said, I prefer 1998 Ronnie to all other incarnations.
Am a hardcore fan of dorian, but i always loved shawn, blunt straight forward guy, always spoke his mind, i still dont get why people hate him, it was unfair for him to go against guys weighing 250 or 260s but he held his own at just 5.7 , 212 or 215. 11 mr O appearences 2 second places, 3 third place finishes, never dropped out of top 5, a feat which will never see again....
Shawn would of been a great classic competitor he was just to small to compete against Dorian, Although he did well getting the placings he got, maybe if Dorian had not of come along when he did Shawn would of been Mr O at leased once
Same goes for Frank Zane!! Size used to matter back then along with symmetry
I never understood how Dorian won any Olympia, except 93. Otherwise, he never looked good to me, especially after he tore his biceps. How can a Mr Olympia have a torn biceps? His wholfe physique was a mess in 97.
Shawn definitely won in 94 in my book. I got so sick of Dorian winning every year no matter what, I was so happy when he finally retired.
I met him and talked to him at the 99 Arnold Classic. Introverted, but a nice guy.
Sometimes Shawn talked a bit too much, but he was often correct. And he certainly was not the only guy who complained about placings during that era.
Just no one on earth ever looked like dillett, such a unique look to he’s muscle.
Just a genetic marvel..everything looked different..structure ..joints...and then the muscle bellies..calves and hams from another planet. He never did squats due to knee injuries.. arms compactness at 6ft 2 .
Real life baki character
Yes but his back wasn't that good.., especially his lats.., his left side lat looked so underdeveloped as compared to his right side and he also lacked legs development but must say his shoulders and mid section were phenomenol
@@JayTVIndia I agree was more of a posing issue but still needless to say like i said no one looks like that such a unique look irrelevant to places etc
@@winstrolchurchill821 offcourse 👍
Diced to the socks. Sauced to the gills. Kevin levrone was the man.
Man those guys back in the 90's. Just incredible.
The 1990s were the true Golden Era of pro bodybuilding. Never before and likely never again will we see so much Mr. Olympia caliber talent competing head to head. So many greats should have, could have, and would have been crowned Mr. O if only the field hadn't been so deep and genetically blessed. The biggest reason some of the greats were snuffed out wasn't politics, rather it was the amount of amazingly gifted competitors on stage. Only one could win; it's hard to argue against Yates and Coleman (although Yates was gifted the win over Nasser, torn biceps and all).
Thank you Mits for uploading these gems. Your subscriber #s deserve to be in the millions. Keep up the good work and maybe you will hit 7 figures.
1996 and 1997 Dorian didn't even deserve third place , horrible physique , no arms , with a huge belly
@@GabrielOlympic Yates didn't have a belly in '96 and he controlled it pretty great in '97. You're just being a hater for nothing. As for Nasser he got disqualified in 1996 because he was an invertebrate just like you are and used banned substances so he couldn't have won at all.
Dorian tore his biceps in 94. His career should have ended then. Any other competitor with such an injury would have finished dead last.
Dorian always said that if he could not come in at his best, he would not compete. That was a lie.
Ronnie looked great and had an amazing physique at this point . Humongous but oddly normal looking at the same time . Kevin seemed like a really good dude too . Excellent symmetry I think he deserved to win one . Shawn looked incredible probably shouldn’t haven’t ruffled as many feathers as he did. Thanks for uploading these classic videos. This is the real golden era .
Shawn was/ is my favorite. Perfection.
Rest In Peace Nasser. You beat Dorian for 1996 no question.
Theses videos are outstanding and really show the level of superhuman conditioning that all of these dudes had. Insane ..
Please post more of these full BFTO documentaries, they are amazing and are tough to find online!!!! Thank you so much.
I will eventually have them all up. If you are seeing them somewhere else please let me know so I can have them removed. Email me at bruce@mocvideo
@@MocvideoProductions Ohhhh man that would put you in Demi-God status for sure. I know DailyMotion has a few of them but I have not looked for awhile. There are a few of them on youtube but they had a takedown notice and the audio was taken off of them. Thank you so much for uploading all these great videos!!
Shawn Ray was completely right, I agree 100% with him. That's why bodybuilding open nowadays (2022) isn't so popular like the classic and some bodybuilders want to come back the golden era.
Legend old schols 90s ! Thanks so mutch! Big hug for you!
Thank you for the classic video 👍🏾💪🏿
You’re welcome 🙏🏻
So sad to hear ozzy playing “see you on the other side” while Nasser was posing. Never noticed that before 🙏🏼
It's cool to see the legend Paul Dillet, the young Ronnie Coleman, Jean Pierre Fux before his accident and the late Nasser El Sonbaty (rip)
Freaky paul! Awesome! What a monster....
Paul’s only let down was he couldn’t pose to save his life. Despite this he was still incredible to look at 🔥🔥
This and his whole back was pretty weak compared to the rest
He was gifted but lazy. No thickness. I doubt he ever did deadlifts or bbell row.
Heard Lee Priest mention it was because he had terrible asthma.
I was at the '98 Mr O in Madison Square when Paul cramped up and had to be dragged off. Because his posing was so bad no one could tell he was having problems
Yeah his conditioning for posing was always jerky movements..cost him alot of times, yet still a mass monster
So many legends in one video!!
Thank you very much for this this is one of my favorite ones 💋
Love him or hate him there is so much truth in what Shawn said.
Thank you man...for your hard work and I always wanted to see the 96 collection
Thx MocV, all the Big Dogs on this one 👍👍
You’re welcome!
Shawn ray physique was on another level !
Shawn Ray is the truth. 💪🏼🇺🇸
You guys are super amazing, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing , Mit’s. 👊
Time is a double edged sword.
It can be your best friend or your worst enemy. It catches up to all of us no matter who we are.
You guys should do a video like this for the Top Olympia contenders now. 2 to 3 hours or more, with the same weeks before the show🙏🏾👍🏽
While these guys where having a good time training, trying to look impressive, the shadow was raising hell down in the dungeon back in England. 😅
He was actually in Bevs, if you check the timestamps he's near the end.
Coming here as a bodybuilding fan I realise how all what shawn said was and still true. His vision of bodybuilding was very wise. Maybe if one day if he is in charge of the ifbb bodybuilding will be saved
Tip .. if u wannna enjoy the documentary Skip over the parts with shawn ray
Legendary Upload
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Paul dillet was a monster
DORIAN THE CHAMP. THE MONSTER.
I love how Kevin thinks him paying to powdercoat all the treadmills is such a huge gift to the gym members. I guarantee nobody cared lol
Magenta to purple is pretty lame😂
No wonder Dorian won these olympias..he's pals with the head judge Steve
Dorian is being assisted by the head judge steve weinburger, in any other sport people would be like WTF.
they were good friends, Yates stayed at his house whenever he was in the US and trained at his gym (Bev's gym). I don't see what's so wrong about this? as if Arnold and others weren't great friends with judges, promoters et cetera. Also, Steve wasn't head judge back then
And Shawn was totally right and still right, bodybuilding is and was judged on mass primarily.
Putting mass as the most influential judging criteria is deeply unethical and has directly caused the death of many many young men, Dallas McCarver being one example. I still don't understand how it as been allowed to continue like this.
Yh but cmon.. Dallas was for lack of better words an ïdîõt. With all due respect. His autopsy showed enlarged uh.. Everything! He had been mixing a deadly dose of tren and a bunch of other stuff! He had collapsed beforehand. He shoulda stopped. Same thing with Ronnie. The man worked out til the bolts came off. Look at Jay Cutler or other athletes. I am all for whatever it takes too. Im not a pùss. But within reason!
size and conditioning have always been the 2 pillars of the sport, 70-60-50 years ago, the 90s or today. Obviously their importance has increased, but let's not act like Sergio, Arnold, Haney etc weren't winning primarily because of their size advantage over their competition.
Also, size and conditioning are not subjective, which is one of the reasons why they are so important. You're either bigger and more conditioned than the next guy, or you're not. Shawn would like the judges to appreciate lines, aestheetics, posing etc MORE, but all of those things are subjective to each and every judge's preference hence mixed outcomes.
@@dj_m19 Mixed outcomes wins over pushing people to kill themselves, in my book. Al though i do understand your points, objective judging criterias are a backbone. Maybe this sport shouldn't exist at all. Atleast it seems the athletes are informed that what they are doing is extremely unhealthy.
I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing them now, but I really miss the days when we wore lifting gloves. Lol
Best upload on yt. Thank you so much
As always, thanks for sharing... keep up👏👏💪💪🔥🔥
Shawn ray just loves to talk lmao
It's 25 years old video and I still don't see lot of machines for legs in gyms in India.
Me encanta estos hombres🔮💖💙💛💕💝💎💓🔥👌💗💪💌❤👍😘💚💘💞💜😍💜❤💝💖
Jean Pierre Fux is sensational
Ray is the perfect bodybuilder ever.
The best era of body building
paul dillett makes the same face lou ferrigno makes in pumping iron when they workout 😂
Shawn Ray, He's trying to sound like Baseball player Brett Lawrie in some parts of this. 😂 That makes this so good. That was funny actually.
This one is gold
Thanks great upload👍
Thank u Bruce! 🙏😁
Hard to believe anyone beat jeane pier faux or however you spell it!
Shawn ray talks like he's playing a role
But if I had to pick a physique I would like to have myself it'd be his.
The original scripted reality show actor,
Nasser at last beat was cult of personality
Most of them trained at golds venice. I've trained there and met some of them over the years. Pretty cool. I miss it.
Who did you meet?
@@cuttertsi3715 Mike ohearn, kali muscle, dexter Jackson, Jeremy buendia. Arnold was there a couple times but I couldn't get a picture. Rvd from wwe was also there once but no picture. I met Bradley Beal from the wizards there as well.
@@ObiWanSatoshi kali muscle
XD
Shawn Ray said, "I got nothing to say." 😆
Ronnie worker the hardest hands down
Back in the day bodybuilders had far better conditioning than today's, also bubleguts were rare (maybe JPF and Dorian had some), most of them had great mid-sections.
Coleman deveria ter ganhado o Mr. Olympia desde essa época. E detalhe, com muita diferença!
Thx Bruce 🤙🏼🌊🏄🏼♂️
Always!
What chewing gum did ronnie buy back in the day I need it!!lol
Shawn Ray 56 mins in.awesome upload
Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Look at Kevin with that body dysmorphia squint lol
All these guys seem to lift fast
Ronnie looked amazing in 1996. Before it went a bit to much !
NASSER was better here than 2000 video ,WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT :o
When i see flex wheeler in his come back attempt his legs told me he was on something .legs dont look that small if you working them out for a come back its as if they were never train.
Flex Wheeler had a great body! But Shawn Ray had the best out of all of the guys competing in the 90s!!!!!!!! Shawn Ray is Bodybuilding! !!!!!
Shawn was phenomenal that year - perhaps better than ‘94.. no issue had he won that year
La mejor época, fenomenal
Shawn Ray was right. Yet it took 20 years before everyone realized it. In 2016 the IFBB created Classic Physique because everyone was just getting too big, too bloated, and coming in poor condition.
Ken ( flex) wheeler always looked like he didn't want to be there in the gym. Like he just wanted to leave.
Shawn ray speaking truth
It’s a damn shame Charles Glass didn’t actually TRAIN Paul. Some proper free weight rowing and pullovers for his back instead of paying Charles to be a glorified rep counter would have done wonders for him. His back was actually not THAT bad in 1994… After the 94 Olympia though, it just got flatter and lost whatever density he had early on.
The fact that by this stage he still refused to slow his rep tempo and was doing T bar rows so light he would look at himself in the mirror is just sad. Dude coasted on genetics and Primobolan the whole damn time.
Rows and posing would have taken Paul at LEAST to 2nd at the O and a top 2-3 in any show he came within 100 miles of.
Well said. 🙏🏻
Charles Glass overrated, no results with the light weight
I always wondered why Paul Dillett never trained his neck? Being such a beast, it needed a little attention.
Ciudad de Mexico suscrito!
Gracias Mexico! 🇲🇽
Check out bev francis 1980 Olympia, guest pose, incredible Australian ❤
Dorian was so confident and intelligent and intimidated the other competitors 😂into losing 😂
La mejor alineación de la historia
Love the background music man, I mean it's music, electronic or metal but music, if this would be released today would be full of f*ckin trap.
Wtf is trap
Why didn'tPaul Dilt become Mr. Olympia? The body was very muscular
Can anyone tell me. What the name of song duration time 49:59:? Kevin Levrone cardio scene
13:30 VERTICAL LEG PRESS : IF YOU WANT TO BL🌍W UP YOUR CALVES THIS IS THE MACHINE THAT WILL DO IT 🤔
Man can u tell me the soundtrack of the video? thnx
At 1:43:00 I don't understand why Dorian is lying about not having any injuries. It just seems like he might as well have said he had a bicep and tricep injury, maybe he knew there was going to be speculation about whether Nassar should have won instead.
are you stoopid? It literally says 1996, he tore his tricep in 1997
He literally said "I had no injuries this year so I had the entire year to train properly"
"last year I was recuperating from injuries still"
It doesn't take a genius to understand this
Nasser was so obsessed with his back that he trained it too heavy.
No such thing as training too heavy
poor mind muscle connection. I don't blame him, it's extremely hard to develop it in the back, you can see it in his posing, the man just couldn't contract his back muscles properly. Contrast that to anyone who's regarded as having a great back, they can contract each of their back muscles with ease and on command.
with poor mind muscle connection you're basically just swinging the weight from point A to point B hoping a tiny bit of it translates into bigger muscle tissue.
Chris Cormier rocking some Gyno at 23:03
I got like that from one cycle of anavar. I was like wtf mate . Thank god it went away .
Shawn does talk a lot of bs, but a lot of wot he says is actually 100% on point. He gets shit on cuz his the only that says anything.
Wow!! Talking about calf implants back then!?
Good
He used to train ppl at golds on Sahara in Vegas...I turned around and he looked like a fucking super hero...he looked 6.7 and his arms were bigger than my head..hes a easy guy to talk too...
Who?
