High lat insertions look retarded. Couple that with a short upper body and you have the Kai Greene gorilla look. Gorilla not being positive seen in this context.

Thing is, Kai's lats are low inserted...

It's funny, how Mike Matarazzo had said that his low inserted lats were detrimental to his physique. But guys like Columbu and Kai who have low inserts look good.

if one has high lats, its such a bad flaw, im not sure id keep training at all.

or  best to never take off the wife beater shirt,lol.

however, high lats while having small waist kinda saves the appearanc somewhat.






bodybuilding is fucking gay to begin with

Dexter doesn't have high lat insertions. He lacked a little bit of mass in the lower part of his lat at the beginning of his career, but corrected this weakness after.

I didn't say he did. Visually fromthe front they aren't super low or super high, good middle ground, keeps his waist variable but still has thickness.

Correct, I had someone else in mind. Regardless, his short torso makes him look retarded. Unbelievable he doesn't finish dead last each time.

Basically looks like a pair of legs with a semi-chopped off upper body on top of them, topped off with a gigantic head. Not to mention the humongous glutes that make all the previous even more pronounced.

Low lat insertions are the best anatomical feature a bb can have in my humble opinion.  It lets you blow your waist up with insulina and GH and still have the appearance of a v-taper.

Now that's a bb. Lats tapering nicely to a taut waist. Doubt we'll see a pro with that kind of shape anytime soon.

Good question, but I have even better one: How did he improve so much. Can you change your lat insertions so much better?? What do you think?

A large portion is due to posing improvement.  Butt high and back, shoulders low and back, waist forward.  Ideally, the bb makes himself into a banana shape when looked at from the side.  Amateurs don't do this well because of how unnatural (and feminine) it feels when doing it properly.

It's about creating illusion of width by artificially shrinking height.  It's also about creation illusion of larger muscles with smaller waist by pushing muscles closer to the audience while keeping waist further away. 

Dennis' body might have made improvements between these shots, but any real improvement is a far less contributor to the difference seen between these pics than his posing.

lat insertions, are overrated, dennis james was a top 6 olympia competitor in his prime, and won a few pro shows. Dexter Jackson had high lats, he became mr olympia. Dennis Wolf is top 5 mr o as well, and a huge mofo with one of the widest backs.  Orville Burke was another guy with high lats. What's your point, twink?

 It was going to go sooner or later because of your genetic propensity. Yates, Coleman and Cutler probably did more sh!t in one year than you ever did, but they kept all their hair. My question is why does that genetic propensity exist?

off the top of my head, (no pun, ok, pun intended)  production of the 5alpha reductase enzyme causes the body to convert testosterone into dht.  this causes male pattern baldness and benign prostate hypertrophy

Yes, that's the "how" of it, I'm wondering about the "why" of it.
