That is a pretty good summary of what is happening there.

I don't know, but it seems to me that maybe phil could do that pose differently and it would look a bit better. Maybe something where he doesn't bunch up so much.

Livewire · « **Reply #2 on:** March 02, 2008, 07:33:52 PM »

maybe dex isn't flexing his chest, and Phil is?

Some of the greats let the chest relax in that pose.

Yeah Phil is doing it differently tran Dex. Phil is contracting his chest but Dex is not, letting the fullness of his chest be exposed, it's quasi-throwback pose, to the way they used to do it, except Arnold and the boys used to highlight the height of the chest.

Not bad but he's no Sergio!

phil is lucky to compete in this era

i don't know how anybody can say he is great when he has no chest

how can you be considered a great bodybuilder without a chest?

both look amazing there. none of the previous arnold classic winners (with the exception of Ronnie, and maybe Flex) could hang with them.

Dex's chest looks proportionate in the most muscular, but Phil's just disappears.

Phil is awesome and all but damn hes narrow hes just not wide at all, and thats just genetics for ya, I dont believe he can ever be mr o he doesnt have enough width

the real problem with warren is that his tanning always makes him look incredibly bad looking, unatractive, and lets say it like it is, ugly.

he looks much better without any tan.

Yes I'm sure if he wasn't as ugly he would have won the O by now.

I had Phil in first.
Dex is really boring, same old shit year after year.
Phil explodes when he flexes! He's young, fresh and it shows.

He should not do that type of most muscular pose, he should stand straight up, he's "stand up mostmuscular" owns everybody

Doesnt matter if Dex looks the same every year, he's still more complete than everyone he was competing against

I feel Phil destroys Dex in that shot, and in the side chest too. He's much better from the rear also and actually has calves.

kevcat · « **Reply #21 on:** March 03, 2008, 07:33:14 AM »

Its the judges decision at the end of the day, and big arms and calves dont win contests ...

false.....complete means complete

he lacks calves and seperation in his whole lower body....

phils quads glutes and hams are all seperated....

and u cant say oh but he trains them and they just wont grow its not his fault

and u cant say his quad seperation has gotten better over the years ....coz its still shite

njflex · « **Reply #23 on:** March 03, 2008, 07:54:28 AM »

like splitting hairs these 2,good rivarly and each have there share of fans of who's better.i think heath is a beast and dex is solid but now stagnant in terms of what he brings to the table,but i guess its good enough.

240 is Back · « **Reply #24 on:** March 03, 2008, 08:07:29 AM »

Phil's arms are almost TOO big for his body.

If he had a better chest, he'd have won this show going away. It's just that in many of the poses, Dexter had him on chest, and phil's weakness became very apparent.

Look at Dex's shoulders and chest - they are years better than Phil's here...
