Some even said this about Levrone. Never understood that.

Is it possible that Heath and Gaspari just have large heads?

The opposite of Sergio Oliva and Orville Burke?

Clavicle width is the issue here. I think the shape of the pecs also plays a role. Heath just has high narrow insertions for his pecs - they're never going to look wide and deep like Ronnie's or Jay's did - just the way it is. He is a bit small, structurally though. Matazarro was a wide bodybuilder - he would have had broad shoulders without lifting. Phil would look a lot narrower without his muscle mass.

Great post.

It may be a bit much to say this...but I feel like Heath isn't structurally much wider than me.

I also have the same big head.

I just wonder if he had a smaller head, if maybe his width not be noticed so much.

I never understood those saying Kevin Levrone was narrow. I talked about it with Earl years ago.

Kevin Levrone had some of the best bodybuilding genetics ever, IMO.

I wonder if a prime Levrone would beat a prime Heath. Topic of another thread, I suppose.

A prime heath would beat him, Phil was always a complete bber from head to toe, Kevin turns around his back is weak, his legs are so so

A prime heath will beat everyone from the 90’s aside from Dorian and Ronnie, but he’ll give them a run for their money

The real question is not whether they were narrow or not,but how tall were they?

I have never known bodybuilders to lie about their heights. Weights, yes.

Phil Heath is at or just under 5'9".

Kevin Levrone is 5'9.5".

Yes, clavicles and pec structure. Though I think there are some psychological and some training variables which can come into play to some extent as well.

Wide clavicles, #1 most important for pleasing physique.  You got wide shoulders AND narrow hips, you better send your parents a Christmas card every year!

A wide clavicle'd ectomorph, hard gainer, skinny, BAD muscle genetics, sand kicked in face.....throw some chemistry at him, and in a year he'll be Beach God.......17 illegitimate kids by 17 different women  ;D

Can be both a blessing and a curse as it’s harder to look full around the upper chest/clavicle, delt and trap area. I’ve tried for 20 years to get half decent upper chest area but just isn’t ever happening.

You striving for BB'ing Perfection......you dissect your physique w/ microscope.  I suspect anyone you know, if asked, would say, "Dude looks fantastic!"  8)

I was blessed w a horse cock, but cursed w narrow clavicles.

What would be worse, a small or micro penis, or a lightbulb shaped upper body?

A micro penis you can hide, until you are confident you have won the girl over, before you spring it on her, or buy/drive a shiny/waxed/detailed corvette.
Narrow shoulders/torso, cant hide em.  Fack!

They have support groups for micro penis guys

where is/was the support group for narrow guys, while they spend waste their life doing side laterals? I felt like I was alone, my whole life, in this nightmare/struggle.

When you don't have traps, your clavicles tend to look wider.  All illusion.

yeah, but, he makes me wear a plastic trashbag to cover/hide my Gaspari/Lightbulb torso, so it's a sweatshop......not enjoyable for me.
