@@daveyadict_ flex looked better but dorian was superior in more mandatory poses. mainly due to his wide lats. and flex never took his dieting seriously for olympias, so dorian had condtioning edge too
The problem is how do we define that "flex looked better"? Its completely subjective thus there is no way to objectively measure it. Dorian's work ethic was designed to adhere to the the judging criteria as much as possible i.e. size, conditioning, symmetry, posing, presentation etc. No one else did it better than Yates thus the reason why he was virtually unbeatable.
Great list! New mic sounds great. Love the inculsion of the '99 GBP, I totally agree one of my favorite shows ever. The one show I would include would be '03 Olympia, as in retrospect Ronnie showed us what most fans consider the greatest BB physique of all time.
I was thinking of including it, however I didn’t really know what to talk about for it. It didn’t really change anything-sure, Ronnie was big and had the best physique ever at that show, but it didn’t really change things or set a new precedence in the sport. I do agree though, it’s certainly one of the best shows ever and is up there with my favorites
Flex wasn’t the pinnacle of symmetry. His abdominals were not symmetrical and unfortunately that could not be changed, never understood this notion that he was the most symmetrical bodybuilder, not to mention the synthol use. Bob Paris is a much better example of perfect symmetry.
Hey guys, I got a new mic! Let me know what you think, as I'm still playing around with the settings
It's quite good
Its cleaner
Oh wow, this was such a well made video. Its nice to learn the history of bodybuilding as an outsider with barely any knowledge
Appreciate it and glad you enjoyed!
Slowly becoming my favourite channel, kind of reminds me of Tomene8er
Huge compliment, thanks!
Exactly what I was thinking. And praise doesn't get much higher than that.
Great list, imo ‘93 changed everything and the sport has NEVER been the same sadly.
I still stand firm that flex should have won.
@@daveyadict_ nah

@@julius5550 dorian yates had the worst symmetry onstage at that show
New mic sounds good!
Very professional in presentation!
Thank you!
Great vid, will never be convinced Jay is a human.
8:47 that quad stomp may be the MOST iconic bodybuilding shot ever
I’d agree, easily the most memorable shot in Olympia history.

@ That’s totally true, I just love that physique so much that I think it deserves a spot on every list lol. I love me some Big Ron
As great as Flex was, he never dialed in his legs from the rear. His glutes and hamstrings always looked so soft.
Great video
Thanks!
1:26 you can obviously see why arnold won especially here. look at the muscle separation in the back and arms in arnold vs sergios.
Great idea I wonder who inspired this
I have no idea
Love the idea
@@SadewWishwajith-ed8zi yeah me too
5:17 i still prefer flex here. My opinion
Sounds great.
Can u do big Ron Russian GP 04 vs Rühl Mr O 04?
No one did this 😳😁
Thanks brother and greetings from Germany
Isnt 2002 NOC markus better than the 2004 olympia version ?
@Simon_le_singe_de_siberie In this blurry old Videoe, but not in the HD pictures from the noc
Arnold ha sempre avuto le gambe carenti ... soprattutto i femorali
How did you leave out 1981 that was even more controversial than 1980
Because 1980 I felt covered it and it’s way more famous. I could’ve added it but I put it in a video recently
@JakeUltimateFitness also 1981 caused controversy, but didn't change history as 1980 already did
@ ok thank you

People use symmetry interchangeably with proportion which is incorrect, but that’s how the name came about
"You know"
You know it
