how is it possible to judge "muscle density" by looking at skin

[anabolichalo]

would you not need to disect a bodybuilder to comment on density

[goomba420]

Idiotic adjectives thrown around by bodybuilding 'experts' all over the world:

'Granite-Like'

'Dense'

'Spilled Over'

'Muscle Maturity'

'Bloofy'

'Champion'

'Athlete'


To answer your question; it isn't. Can't see any striations? Surely it's the muscle itself! Not the skin and water encapsulating the muscle, but the density and maturity of the muscle. Yes.

Easy , Ronnie on the left is dense & dry , Ronnie on the rights is soft and holding water

[anabolichalo]

Easy , Ronnie on the left is dense & dry , Ronnie on the rights is soft and holding water

what do you mean "dense"

[Hulkotron]

Ronnie on the left is under better lighting than on the right

[NeoSeminole]

Easy , Ronnie on the left is dense & dry , Ronnie on the rights is soft and holding water

Ronnie on the left has more definition. Following your logic, Ronnie was "denser" than Dorian at their prime

[NeoSeminole]

ND, who would you say has better muscle density in this comparison?

[anabolichalo]

the fact is you fools dont seem to know the meaning of the word density

[NarcissisticDeity]

Ronnie on the left has more definition. Following your logic, Ronnie was "denser" than Dorian at their prime

Still trying to prove Ronnie was better huh?  keep trying kid.

No not at all. This is in fact very easy to tell. In bodybuilding terms when you see a rugged surface it is called dense. When it is just a smooth surface then it is not dense. I don't care what the real meaning is this what we refer to as bodybuilders when we use that word 'dense'

[NarcissisticDeity]

You were already scolded by Kevin Horton for trying to use this comparison as proof of who was better conditioned And he explained to you why you couldn't.

I wont debate with you who is better conditioned that was a done deal a LONG time ago and you're still wrong today

yates has better calves

ronnie has better arms


other things are debatable

[anabolichalo]

No not at all. This is in fact very easy to tell. In bodybuilding terms when you see a rugged surface it is called dense. When it is just a smooth surface then it is not dense. I don't care what the real meaning is this what we refer to as bodybuilders when we use that word 'dense'

is this like using "symmetry" for "proportions"

[OTHstrong]

In bodybuilding terms Dorian is more dense in that pic, look at his texture it is rugged and Ronnie's is smooth, that is what the term means in bodybuilding.

[OTHstrong]

I guess, these are not exact meanings to presice words, they are terms in bodybuilding lingo.

[anabolichalo]

In bodybuilding terms Dorian is more dense in that pic, look at his texture it is rugged and Ronnie's is smooth, that is what the term means in bodybuilding.

because ronnie has better skin?

[anabolichalo]

a lot of getbiggers claim it's actual density tho

the heavier you lift

the denser the muscle gets

and this is visible on stage

I don't know what gives that look, skin or muscle but that is what judges look for, why do you think Branch is winning Arnold title? (He should not be in top 5) Simply because the texture of his skin looks rugged, all the judges say Branch is dense.

[NeoSeminole]

In bodybuilding terms Dorian is more dense in that pic, look at his texture it is rugged and Ronnie's is smooth, that is what the term means in bodybuilding.

what you called "rugged," I call bad skin. Why should Ronnie be penalized on "density" for having healthier skin than Dorian?

hahaha omg it's true

these shmoes are looking for bad skin

Getbiggers can say what they want. When a judge says that guy is dense he is judging by the ruggedness of his skin, nothing more. Evan is known by judges to be dense from the front cause he is rugged and grainy. Phil on the other hand is not known for being dense, no ruggedness to his muscle. So his muscle is referred to as bloofy.

lol, keep dodging the question like you always do. Your stubborn refusal to acknowledge that you don't know what the heck you're talking about is all the proof I need that I'm right

[OTHstrong]

You can flip it anyway you want, call it bad skin, call grainy, rugged, whatever but the bottomline is this is rewarded on stage.

says who? Looking at all the past Mr. Olympias, the only one who ever won with rugged-looking skin was Dorian. And he never competed against a prime Ronnie. So we don't know which physique the judges would have chosen. Where's your evidence to back up the claim this is what's rewarded on stage?
