    @KCDarin 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thx for this Tomn8er! Your analysis is very respected & back in 2007; the 1999 version of Coleman was rarely spoken of as a contender of his best overall physique. Myself, (Bizzy back then) Iceman 1981, Hulkster & I believe Forced Reps put quite an effort to let people know how great this version was & saw direct results from that effort. Just like the Ronnie/Russia Vodka story. Some people knew about it but after I posted my video on the MD Forums; within a week or so Ron Harris was asking Levrone about the story & it's been on a ton of Kevin/Ronnie interviews since. Although only 17, my Girlfriend @ the time watched the 1999 Olympia on VHS right before the PPV 2003 Olympia already knowing from Chad Nichols Forums back then Ronnie was around 285 pounds. Not long into it we both agreed he looked better in 1999. She had a near genius IQ and got involved in every hobby I had at the time winning several fairly big poker tournaments as I was in the top .05% on Poker Stars at the time. I 100% realize the lighting was better in 1999 but when you take the photos, backstage footage + the 2 different Grand Prix's footage & photos only from the 1st Grand Prix; it makes a strong case for his greatest physique. Here is some proof as I posted the Prejudging footage 13 years ago on Daily Motion. www.dailymotion.com/video/x3w9ak BTW: There was a part 1 with pictures but it had copy written music which wasn't an issue in 2007.

    Front double biceps: Solid win for Ronnie
    Front lat spread: Dorian smokes Ronnie
    Side chest: Ronnie obliterates Yates
    Back Double biceps: Win for Ronnie
    Back Lat Spread: Win for Yates (I know, I know, Ronnie is wider and has more shredded glutes. But Yates' back is so much more shredded that I think he's run away with it)
    Side triceps: Dorian smokes Ronnie
    Abs and thighs: Dorian smokes Ronnie.

    1999 Ronnie was a beast probably Ronnie's 2nd best physique ever. And I always thought Chris Cormier should have been 2nd place in 1999 even though Flex is my favorite Bodybuilder ever. Chris is just WAY better than Flex in the lat spreads and around the same size, not to mention Cormier has like no weakpoints in his physique besides the fact he never had shredded glutes but other than that flawless. 1999 Olympia was Cormier's best physique ever and one of the most underrated physiques of all time. But I really thought in 99 Markus Rhul should have also been way higher than he ended up placing and beaten Nasser, and maybe even Shawn or Levrone for a top 6 spot. Great video as always Tom.

    As a novice bodybuilding fan, how can you tell the difference between degrees of "density" or "quality" muscle? These descriptors are kind of confusing. When I see a physique I can only tell differences in muscle size, symmetry, and conditioning...

    • @Tomn8er
      @Tomn8er  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Density is basically thickness + hardness. Quality muscle is that plus other details like separation, striations, vascularity, etc.

      @Tomn8er  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@M.J.D.R not really. Fullness and 3D are basically synonymous but have little to do with density. For example, check out Dorian vs Levrone in the side chest in 95. Kevin was fuller and looked bigger in most body parts, but Dorian was much denser.

      @@Tomn8er yea that’s true and in fact I can see your point better when it comes to 92, when both were incredibly shredded but Dorian was noticeable denser. But right here the most direct and simplistic way to explain density, is to refer its most literal meaning, which is having more mass concentrated in an pretty much equal surface. Which is what Ronnie is showing here in the side chest.
