Plus both at their best is just as conditioned as Phil.

[@merlin4398]

@@arisart22 I understand what you saying, completely. However the luxury Phil has over Kevin, is that he did not have to compete against either Ronnie or Dorian. The 90's bodybuilding era was pretty stacked, and its very possible that Phil could have been lost in the mix had he competed back then. I think one of the reasons Ronnie won over the likes of Kevin, Flex & most certainly over Shawn, was being taller. The same goes for Dorian.l believe that had Ronnie or Dorian both been 5'6", the judges would have given the title to Flex or someone taller. It's political as well.

[@baltazarpacheco8035]

Chintu Kamina I find it intriguing how quick you are to blame Dorian. It’s not like he consciously knew what he was doing in terms of bringing about a new generation of mass monsters. We have to examine Dorian within the context in which he operated. He was doing whatever he could at the time to get ahead which training harder if necessary to pack on mass. So yes maybe he did influence this new generation of mass monsters but he did so indirectly instead of directly. That’s just how I see it. 👍

No he was ugly in face and body. Thats why despite his freakish size he won next to nothing. The same with Nasser El Sonbatty. Nobody wants to see those faces too often. Of all the mass monsters. Dorian 1993 is as good as it got before he tore his left bicep. Both in his pre contest pics and on the stage. He set a standard theyre still trying to match. Coleman won 8 Olympias with average calves and average triceps. Heath looks like a squatty michelin man. Anytime your delts look bigger than your pecs as in his case. HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM. The fact he could take 7 olympias with that TERRIBLE balance in proportion. Speaks volumes for how far the sport of bodybuilding has fallen.

Great idea for a video Tom.

Shawn Ray had a pathetic back lat spread FBD 3. Phil: Great forearms with buldging brachioradialis. His biceps was is big, long and shreded but lacks the peak and shape is not very aesthetic. Good triceps sweep, good and separated quads, decent calves. What ruins this pose for him is the narrow shoulders and you need wide shoulders for this classic pose. Also although he has a small waist that midsection is not defined and it is protruding. Because of this he slightly falls behind Dorian 2. Dorian: Huuge forearms and calves. His biceps were not shit before the tear, but still mediocre. 0 triceps sweep, big -! midsection is completely flat, legs lack the quad sweep and have weird shape, but cuts are the deepest of the 3. Wide as a house with the best lat flare. Just looks more comfortable holding the pose and I put him slightly in front of Phil 1. Ronnie: Biceps has a mountain peak and is shreded as fuck, maybe the belly is a bit small but still by far the best biceps here. Wide shoulders, great lats and great best quads out of the 3. Triceps seep is like a valley, probably the best in history because of his huge outer triceps head. Midsection is ugly, but still flatter than Heath. Forearms are mediocre and calves are shit, but he still takes the pose easily FLS 3. Phil: Watery abs, narrow clavicles, pecs are squashed, lats are overpowered by huge arms. Lower section is good but still his pose is bad 2. Ronnie: Abs are split, chest is very well detailed with striations. Arms are good but maybe too big and overpowering the lats, but not nearly as much as Phil. Lats are big and wide but not as big as Dorian's. And he doesn't hit the pose nearly as well as DOrian, he does not look as stable, powerful and comfortable as Dorian. Quads are great, calves not so much 1. Dorian: Do I even need to explain? He looks he can take flight with those Boing 747 lats. Posture is perfest, looks very natural hiting it. CHest is flexed perfectly and detailed, shoulders look good, legs have deep cuts... mediocre arms but they don't ruin the pose. Winner by a mile SC 3. Dorian: Inferion muscle bellies and insertions. The most conditioned and grainy. Chest is greatly detailed and thick, but bad shape and insertion. Upper arms and shoulders look really bad despite great forearms. Lower body is ok. Ok pose for him, but he can't compete with Ronnie and Phil 2. Phil: Insane chest thickness, insane arms and delts and that brachioradialis is just alien. Midsection in control and lower body is shreded with great hang in the hamstrings. He is a bit narrow and his chest is small, and that gives the pose to Ronnie despite this being an almost unbeatable pose for him 1. Ronnie: Insane chest, very big, thick and detailed. Shreded and big shoulders. They don't pop out like Phils's but they are bigger and more detailed. Lower body is out of this world. Arms are thick, but forearms are underwelming. I give him the pose over Phil because he hits the pose more comfortable and has superior chest BDB: My god, all 3 are terrific, how do I do this 3. Dorian: His back the best. From the back, his traps are the best ih history of bb and are fucking separated. Name one bodybuilder that has trap separation. Just insane level od detail, ultra low lats, christmas tree, cow calves and giant forearms. His arms ruin the posewith 0 biceps peak and short humerus bone. His glutes and hams were great for his time, but not as good as Phil or Ronnie. He was unbeatable in this pose, but all 3 are so good, I had to put someone 2. Phil: I barely give this pose to Phil over Dorian. Detail in his back is not nearly on Dorian's level, but still better than Ronnie. Very well balanced but lacks the size and width to beat Ronnie 1. Ronnie: Best bdb in bodybuilding history. Loses a bit deatil next to Phil and Dorian, but everything except calves is perfect. Wide and big lats, best glutes and hams ever, huge arms with biceps peaks (bigger than Phil)... Even his lats look better than DOrian's in this pose BLS: again, all 3 dominate the pose, very hard to pick 3. Ronnie: I hate how he leans his head back and how he hits the pose with legs spread like he is about to take a shit. Great is big and thick, but his neck is long and his giant upper traps take away from the width of his lats. His back looks taller than it is wide. Glutes and hams are out of this world, but maybe too much. I think he coudl be much better here 2. Phil is the most detailed, his back is hard as a rock and glutes and hams are great. He even hits the pose perfectly which hides his lack of size and spreads his inferior lats way better than Ronnie. Only thing he lacks is width, but that is the most important 1. DOrian: lats are ultra wide and massive and he spreads the lats perfectly with great posture. His back kinda loses detail here, but he still holds the pose with grace. And just admire how wide his traps are. I give him the win because back is more important than glutes and hams. He outposes Ronnie and outspreads Phil ST: 3. Ronnie is shit, no need to explain. Weak lateral triceps head, shit abs, awkard posing... 2. Phil: Insane delts and triceps, but doesn't hit the pose nearly as well as Dorian and has problems with midsection (lacks the detail) and lacks conditioning to match Dorian 1. Dorian: Crisp triceps head, perfect posture, aesthetic chest and sharp midsection A&T 3. Phil: SMall ribcage, lacks definition in serratus and obliques, lacks lat size... Abs are ugly 4 pack and protruding. quads and calves good but this a pretty weak pose 2. Ronnie: Bad midsection, split 4 pack abs. Big ribcage with flaring lats and great quads, but midsetion is not nearly on Dorian's level 1. Dorian: Insane conditioning, chizzled abs, serratus and obliques, abs are sharp and symetrical 6 pack. Waist is a bit thick and legs lack size, but lats are humongous and so are calves. He wins this easily MM: 3. Dorian: great thickness and conditioning, but poor muscle bellies 2. Ronnie: Great is hands clasped, but not as good in crab pose 1. Phil beats Ronnie with 3D popping 3D shoulders better forearms and just as good upper arms. Chicken chest ruins the pose a bit, but it is insanely thick Dorian : 15 Ronnie : 15 Phil: 18

I think your sizing for this video was a bit off. Ronnie was the biggest out of them yet in some poses he looked the smallest like the front double bicep at 3:55

[@emantavassoli2523]

Phil, Dorian, and Ronnie are the 3 best to ever walk on a bodybuilding stage.

[@Danimal77]

AND Lee Haney!!! 8 time Mr. O.

The 90s had some of the best lighting. Today’s lighting is just garbage.

[@shania-antonio6425]

Europa-Spain 2021 and Arnold Classic UK 2021 is perhaps the worst. I canbarely see the bodybuilder with that dark and fuzzy aesthetics that is the lighting!

[@johnbest4513]

This video was awesome.

[@kevinmccarthy8746]

I just think Phil looks better.

[@Harambe8]

Love videos like this!

[@Splitscreen83]

Dorian was unstoppable overall. His posing routines were awesome too. True legend.

[@retsamcm]

I'd like to see a side view of the rear lat spread from these three to see the difference in torso angle.

[@ananddeonarine1650]

Thats the only way to measure this sd shit they rate phil with big ramy is the ultimete uncrowned champ

[@Trenacetate43]

For me: FDB - Ronnie Front Lat Spread - Dorian Side Chest - Ronnie BDB - Ronnie Back Lat Spread - Ronnie Side Tri - Dorian Abs and Thighs - Dorian Hand clasped MM - Phil Crab MM - Phil Total (Ronnie 4, Dorian 3, Phil 2)

[@Sean-if7rp]

Your eyes get drawn to Dorian every time in the back double bi, absolutely dwarfs the others with size and makes them look poorly conditioned, otherwise quite agreeable list

[@Tomn8er]

Partly that's some favourable lighting making everything pop more. Compare it to this one for example: www.ambal.ru/man.php?m=143&im=18165

[@sigurdh.s8320]

Sean McGeeney Dorian dwarfing Ronnie? Yeah, I don’t think so

[@heiligerjesus1960]

Ronnie has 30 pounds of muscle on dorian, his back is like a half feet wider, dont be an idiot youre embarrassing yourself

[@Srbenda126]

@@heiligerjesus1960 Ronnie was not bigger than Dorian. They weighted about the same in the offseason, difference is Dorian cut down more weight to get superior conditioning. Only time Ronnie came close to Dorian's level of conditioning was in 98'and he weighted just under 250 lbs. Dorian at his peak conditioning was 257 lbs. Dorian could have easily come on stage at 280 lbs like Ronnie in 03'

[@marijancorluka4500]

Dorian gets smoked in the lower body from the rear and also has terrible biceps, so no.

[@thissmithymanga7119]

Dorians side tri is just godly

[@dongunlim]

Love your channel brother. Keep up the great content. With that said. Coleman would blow away heath if they stood next to each other. Yes, Heath looks great in the photos but you’re not taking into account that Ronnie was 2 inches taller, many pounds heavier and just as conditioned. He would dwarf Heath with his height, width and mass.

[@Demotri11]

Phil's Aesthetics are second to none. Everything is so balanced and it looks better to my eye. Probably one of the reasons I'm not an Olympia judge

[@tlenkeeb829]

Dorians conditioning is far superior and its harder to see the detail with the older photographs and hes lighter skinned too.

[@aleksi.niemela]

Is there a video on your channel where you do not metion Shawn Ray lol

[@cristiannoel443]

Man dorian looks rock solid

[@fainwhite4823]

Does anyone have a link to that awesome picture of Dorian Yates while he was comparing the crab most muscular pose?

[@MattGaetzOnAWhiteFordBronco]

For someone criticized about his posing routines, Dorian did invest a lot of effort in making his mandatory poses look their absolute best. Ronnie did not, and Heath, while incredibly gifted, did not hone the mandatories to a diamond polish.

[@doublem1975x]

Coleman is the best. Front double, side chest, back double, rear lat spread, most muscular. Lights out, game over.

[@ciroalphalyon3662]

great video!

[@mohitdabral1785]

Yates is nothing in front of Colman

[@juanaguirre6153]

Why not Ronnie 03?

[@JerryRiceBall]

Phil always looks severely constipated while posing.

[@hristokozhuharov2585]

Tommy, how would Big Rami do against the best versiona of Yates, Ronnie and Heath?

[@testtset7946]

Look like npc

[@richfeather]

Good video. I’d argue Yates’ back-double bicep was better than Ronnie’s and Phil’s only because his back was shredded. Tough call, though. Good analysis.

[@boscar9014]

Phil Heaths back is mr Olympia worthy all day long, once he fixes that bubble gut he’s gonna come back for that Olympia

[@rickymason3762]

Can you do a video on the all-time Boringest bodybuilding personality? I think Phil might have that one in the bag and kai might be just the opposite..

[@Vikfit.]

My favorite is phil.. His 3D looks.. Never seen that before..

[@j.d.norcross9362]

One advantage of Ronnie's posing in the Rear Lat Spread is that it allows him to show off his biceps, gives his arms a really balanced and imposing look. Phil still hits it better though, in my opinion.

[@adamheeley285]

Great comparison. I still like the gifts abs better, they are just bigger and more square which is my personal preference. Although Id like to see Brandon Curry get his abs up to par cause he is a close second.

[@User0155]

in the back double bicep I kinda see dorian winning ... well all those 3 backs are insane

[@chattratitpisuddhipanwong5813]

Turn on automatic caption and have a good laugh. Kevin the brownie and Nasir on somebody.

[@jaed2630]

It's not certain poses for specific body parts. It's all around looks from the angle

[@smilsmff]

at 4:15 Note for those who do not know all 3 are pinching the flab on sides and pulling it forward so you cant see extra Bump everyone refers to as LOVE HANDLE, they got em too do not be fooled

[@smilsmff]

@ 5:35 unfair side comparrison Ronnie is close up others are further away,7:50 Yates is shredded the other two is flabby, im done by 12 min mark, summary Yates looked good at larger size , Coleman looked 100% better when he was in top 10 he is Blowed up like water balloon as he added whatever you want to call that and Heath iis way to thick in mid section as this is what BB Has become

[@pranaychinta5713]

You know who is the KING

[@jaxzor]

FDB - Ronnie (Phil coming close) FLS - Dorian (Ronnie coming close) SC - Ronnie (Phil coming close) BDB - Phil (they are all crazy in size , details and symmetry, but Phil has better separation in arms and shoulders) BLS - Phil (Dorian is impressive at size but it looks flat, Ronnie overall is a beast, Phill is just sharper, better detail and shape) ST - Dorian ( Phil coming close) A&T - Dorian (Ronnie has crazy legs but he struggles to hold the pose same does Phil) MM - Phil (Flawless) overall I think Phil Heath 2013 would kill anyone!

[@rishipanchal4351]

Ronnie Coleman is the best bodybuilder ever

[@ananddeonarine1650]

The worst ever he spoiled the sport and himself too

[@hobbs3424]

13:10 Dorian pushin that arm hard up against his lats to make that small tricep look big. If Ronnie, Phil or even better Paul Dillett or Lee Priest or the tricep king himself Roelly did that, their triceps would look like quads!!
