205 pounds the last champion anywhere near that was Samir bannout in 1983 at 188 pounds , the sport move past Shawn it doesn't take away from his physique which is excellent , but make no mistake the 200 Mr Olympia champions are long gone.

very true platz. in his earlier years he did have bigger calves (synthol) (see, 1999 night of champions), but i assume he's not using that anymore. calves aside, extremely balanced. i much prefer his present day physique, even with the small calves.

Dillet lacked intensity, one of many clips he trains so light for a man of his stature, training with Glass you could see he was pissed off by his lack of intensity.

Had he trained like Coleman,Yates history would be different.Though he did have some bad shoulder injuries but i do not think they were in his Prime.

 Agreed 100 % !! A shame really.

To tell you the truth Monk ... I don't think Dillet ever reached his full potential ... what a waste of Genetics, if you ask me.  :-\

I don't think people realize how good Labrada was 86-91, he was flawless as far as overall development goes.  Nothing on him was weak, the only thing you could fault him on was his height and that really shouldn't matter in BB anyway, look at pics of Lee at the 91 or even 92 olympia, he's in incredible shape and he had managed to put on size almost every year he competed.

a guy who is totally forgotten is Mohommad Makaway, I might have spelled it wrong but he was pretty damn flawless as well, suffered from lack of height but aside from that he was great.

Title: Re: The most balanced physique ever
Post by: KillerMonk on November 15, 2007, 05:29:58 AM
Yeah crazy genetics,Just standing from the front in a relaxed pose he looked like the best guy on the planet.Until he flexed.

His overall physique and lines just do not flow together to be a piece of art and his genetical muscle shape are not that nice. For example compare his back with Flex's. Waist too blocky and upper arms too short proportionally.

Cormier has awesome overall legs, his quad detail is outstanding.
