goddamn, 01 ASC Ronnie makes Dorian look like fossilized Dino crap.
You're getting in Hulkster's league of just posting pictures and spewing out nonsense
whats wrong with those pics ? Ronnie's front double biceps shot is dominated by oversized biceps/triceps forearms lagging behind in proportion with them , arms way to big for his torso , notice how in this particular pose his chest goes flat? also notice his round abdomen? abdominals pushed apart , glutes can be seen from the front , oversized quads that are NOT in proportion with his lackluster calves , this my friend is NOT great balance & proportion , see a collection of parts
second pic a very nice studio shot same flaws , although his chest looks good in this pose
third pic most muscular , same flaws but notice the clear overdevelopment of the right front deltoid? same arms big arms overpowering the rest of the shot , abdomen protruding , etc
fourth pic - back double biceps shot , again a host of balance & proportion issues biceps/triceps clearly way out of proportion with the forearms & deltoids , great back though albeit smaller than usual , but great development & detail , glutes stick out , great quads from the back & hams that only serve to highlight his sucky calves that how no separation , development or detail
Impressive shots YES textbook from a balance & proportion standpoint? NO factor in Yates advantage in size , and density and we'll call conditioning on par and Yates still has advantages Ronnie does not , so while from a personal preference standpoint he may look better but thats not how contests are judged , they have criteria and it favors Dorian.
