Title: What exactly is Grainyness?
Post by: bizzy on November 13, 2007, 06:29:14 PM
I know this term started with Dorian but what
would actually be a good definition of the term
Grainy? What causes it? Genetics? Training Style, ect?
There are a few things in photoshop that makes bodybuilders
look more grainy. They are in the filter section and are sharpen
and sharpen more. Here are a couple of Coleman pics that are
unshopped to my knowledge where I think he looks
somewhat grainy; although he's not known for that characteristic.
I will also post 3 pics of Dorian with just the regular pic
then sharpened...
then sharpened more...
Once again, what is the definition for grainy and how is it achieved?

The term graininess did not start with Dorian,but he was about one of the only people who was grainy as a pro in his day.

I trained at the same gym as Jeff King and he was a grainy mofo at contest time long before Doirian started training.
