How much of it is based on specific bodypart development versus overall balance? Which bodyparts matter ‘most’?

Obviously there’s a fair amount of subjectivity here, and I’m pretty sure it’s not put in writing… but those of you who’ve paid attention over the years, what kind of things actually matter the most?[/quote]

  1. Biceps peak
  2. Huge low lats
  3. Larger Pec(IE: Ronnie Coleman has Larger Pecs, Kevin Levrone has a smaller chest.se side by side comparisons)
  4. Developed Quads

dorian didn’t have peaked biceps.

But he had huge low lats, big pecs, and massive quads, and came in in awesome condition. Ronnie coleman had all of the above. So did arnold. so did cutler, cutler probably had the biggest lowest back.

?

Seriously, it’s getting out of hand people. I like Branch Warren’s physique. I also like Phil Heath’s and Evan C’s physique, too. Subjectiveness is a very cool thing, because ya know, everyone has their own tastes and preferences. Just because you don’t care for someone’s look doesn’t mean you have to run your mouth, joking or not, like you have some kind of “inside track” into what constitutes a great physique or not.[/quote]

Hats off to you sir and your opinion. I admit I have Jay goggles because he is such an amazing person/ambassador for the sport.

I’m too lazy to look 'em up.

Can you just copy and paste pics into this thread? I think I tried before but had to first save them onto my PC and it all turned into too much work.

If there is a quick way I have seen great recent pics of Flex Lewis, Wolf, Heath, Evan and Kai.

Where did you see them from? Can you pm me the links?

not current but worthy of being scene, 405lbs for a shoulder press, even if just a few reps, is a monster!

Hoping he nails the conditioning and we get a lot of kai phil side by side comparisons this year. as much as i’m a kai fan, if phil looks better i hope he wins again, my thought is though…side by side if kai is really conditioned he beats phil all day.

phil is always shredded, kai has yet to be since 09’ …we’ll see.

also curious to see how good wolf looks this year.
