I guess my claim to BB fame is that I accepted the first photos (I think) that Dorian sent over to Weider.

I was at that time working as a counter clerk for the post office at the office just up the road from his gym (trained there once). I will never forget chatting with him and standing next to him.

If you have never stood next to a pro you really have no idea how big they are.

He was also a really nice guy, friendly, no pretence at all. He'd not know me from adam if he were to meet me now. But although I do not like the way he moved BB forward I have respect for him.

Oh yes I forgot he still lives just about 5 mins from me :)

Funny how personal aesthetics change over time. I remember back in '93 I thought Yates just looked like a lump with no shape...but I basing this on arnold's era.

Looking at this vid now, I think his physique is quite pleasing...very dense, great symmetry and a nice silhouette. In comparison to Cutler I think he looks fantastic.

He used to have a large place in Sutton Coldfield until he split with his wife debbie a few years ago.

I have to agree .

However cutler will always look like a lump even in 2033 !!
