He looks to be about 5'6", so that might have something to do with it.

Its the angle of the photos and how close you are to the camera, I can tell you that pictures do not do pro bodybuilders justice if you saw some of these guys in real life your jaw would hit the floor.

Why would a bodybuilder have to look freaky next to anyone?

The idea is to attain an amazing looking physique with exceptional proportions, musculature, low body fat and deep striations.

Freaky and retarded looking is what will keep this being a circus sideshow act that will always be seen as a competition for who can inject the most shit into their bodies.

I'd much rather look like this:

I like the idea that I look normal in clothes, I could put another 45lbs on and impress everyone in the club (like flintstones) but once the wrapper comes of you look like a bag of shit.

Much better to surprise people later.

biggest and freakiest? Ramy is taller and bigger. Wolf is not far behind too. Even Rühl in his current shape is probably bigger and freakier than the fruitophile.

100% in accordance with statements in bold.

Functionality is key. What purpose does it serve to walk around looking like a bloated piece of shit?

At least in my case, I can't pretend to walk around the office looking like a sack of shit stuffed into a suit. Likewise, during my time off, it's nice to be able to wear clothes that fit and aren't purchased from the "big & tall" section of the store.

It's always refreshing to be able to look extremely sharp in a suit or formal wear and then be capable of taking your clothes off and look even more impressive.

Granted, if these guys were power-lifters and could show for their ridiculous size with superhuman strength, then I would somewhat understand. But to pump shit into your body all year round, walk around looking like a retard 11 months out of the year only to shred down for only one week out of the entire year, all the while being very physically fragile? Fuck that.

Tall guys with big frames don't make good competitive bodybuilders it seems.

Theres a difference between being generally big and muscular big.

If you saw Kai in person with a tank top on he'd look stupidly freaky.

Truer words are rarely spoken here.  The comic CK Lewis does a routine based on that premise and it is very funny.  Something along the lines of "I can go anywhere back in time and be welcome because I'm white."    Going forward in time is entirely different as the societal zeitgeist is heavily stacked against white males for past (and to some degree) and present injustices (real or imagined).

Personally, I despise Coleman and his physique for what he and it represent.  Drugs and lies.

haha, this is an injustice in itself! A liberal friend of mine recently commented that minorities can't be racist. Only academic training can allow you to say such things while keeping a straight face  ;D

I liked coleman circa 1998-99. 2003 and beyond was [and should have been] simply intolerable.

Offseason he isn't that big, which seems a smart strategy ('fresh' receptors during his preps).
Many expo pics with gym rats have shown this.

No only due his weight, but also because of his small head to torso-ratio.

That you have ever seen......

The sentence makes no fucking sense (as usual) unless you add that last part.

In their primes, Kovacs and Ferrigno certainly looked freaky huge in whatever they were wearing.

Ronaldo's mid section was good during his first 2-3 'O wins, but later... As for his calves, I believe they were decent, not great.
Yeah, Flex had a great structure in his pre-synthol period. If he only had the rock hard conditioning during the rest of his career...

You say it right: "shapeless mess".
By 'weak' I mean poor size or shape (or both). IMO, most pros were at their best when they received their pro card or 1-2 years later. Some examples are Flex, Ronnie, Shawn & Kevin.

That brings me to a question. Let's say that Flex, Ronnie, Shawn & Kevin decided to keep their weight, would they place worse? I don't believe that. I think it's rather their "I'm not big enough" self image that made them follow this route.

Well---one of the judges had said that Shawn comes in looking the same everytime. And Shawn lit into her. I think if Flex gradually got bigger (and not had that car accident, which screws up his head) he may have been rewarded. It looks like that was working for Cormier as well. Ronnie is different, he had been ignored. When you looks at Ronnie from 95, 96, 97 there were shows where he looked better than his competitors but he was not rewarded. It was only when he showed up looking freakier than life that he was rewarded.
