Very true.....
-
They both have high lats
Cormier is symetrical and aesthetic, not dexter.
-
Exactly.
True True True
-
Dexter has high lats, a /\-shaped lower torso (his trunk's so damn long), shady calves, and one of the most godawful mugs this side of a howard stern show. But he can get ripped, and has a decent amount of mass on his frame.
-
Dexter did look more aesthetic in his younger days.
-
This is what its all about
-
Do you have any pics to show this? Genetic structure is not something which will change with age so I'm wondering what pictures you are thinking of.
In the late 90's , when he was overlooked, I thought he was pretty aesthetic.
-
but high lats look better than low
-
dexter is the blockiest black man to ever compete. he's diced, never comes in flat, and has a tight waist, but has none of the lines we typically associate with the black dudes. compare his structure to chris or wheeler and the difference is just glaring.
-
Oh my, the gathering of the 'high lats" watchers is in effect. Dexter looks great! It's not about having 1 OR even 2 weak bodyparts, it's what you look like when you put EVERYTHING together that counts! Geeze you guys have been on a BB board for how long and still haven't figured that out yet? WTF? Dorian had comparatively weak arms, Ronnie doesn't have great calves, Sergio had flat biceps, Zane lacked size ...but when you put all of their respective parts together along with presentation and conditioning, you have a group of deserving Sandow winners who were guess what? Not perfect. The whole is greater than the sum of it's parts......
-
Why do people automatically equate being small to being symmetrical?
most of the world is idiotic :D
-
Dex used to be a lot more aesthetic than he is now , but at this point its safe to assume he has taken his physique to the point where his aesthetics have been compromised , like many a pro , he went beyond his ideal weight , he is the same height at Shawn Ray and competes about 20lbs heavier and just as ripped , this is exactly what Shawn didn't want to do , to bascially become Dex and he was very effective at maintaining his phsyical integrity .
Check out this old pic of Dex pretty damn impressive.

You should really , really , really think about what you say before you type .

Great pic, ND! He was definitely more aesthetic in his younger days. Now he plays the same game that numerous pros say they don't want to play.

but it is impressive because (like Dorian) the lat spread hides the taper flaws.
From that shot, it looks like his taper was even more odd than it is now, which is not good. Looks like his lats look higher than usual.
-
it also looks like he is sporting a gut in that pic.
-
with the exception of the bizarre dorian nuthugging, it seems like ironagers only care about the waistline. a bodybuilder could have a two-inch difference between his arms, no hamstrings, flat shoulders, and lackluster conditioning, but as long as the waist is tiny he's "aesthetic". ::)

Stop comparing peoples packages you homo
-
high lats look the best
-
I agree to an extent. Low lats sometimes don't seem to have a dramatic enough taper if the bodybuilder is narrow in the shoulders. The other extreme is Dennis James :-\

excactly...high lats add taper, width, and make the back look more powerful. i hate low insertions because it doesnt look like the back is developed at all....aka tj schoenbern 9or however you spell it)

Some guys, like Haney and Columbu , looked great with low lats, though. It all depends on one's muscle shape and structure.

You really think that Columbu's and Haney's backs would look terrible these days? You are an expert on "economic politics"? Tell me more ;D
-
im glad you agree....the pictures arec oming.
-
Very true.....
what is that in your avatar, body88?
It looks familiar.
-

haha, how ironic is the fact that you actually defended him a while back.

yes i reall think haneys back is terrible. here is rusty jeffers...the 8th place at the masters owning him. and im not necessarily an expert in economic policies....but rather on everything. the point was that i know soo much that i have forgotten more about such a specific and odd subject than you have ever known.

Rusty has a pretty nice back. If you think he owns Haney you need to see some pictures of Haney next to Dorian.

I was hoping to hear his knowledge on "economic politics" ;D

who cares what he looks like nesxt to dorian....look at him vs. the 8th place at the masters!!! he has never had anytype of width to his back, and his depth is decent, but depth takes a backseat to width in bodybuilding anyway.

i mean to write economis policies.....the typing with only my left hand is troubling me, but im gettign better

no not really. i woulc/could say that same thing to anyone, and it would hold true. ;D

Oh, so that's why your spelling is horrendous ;D. Did you hurt your hand? Let me hear some of your ideas. I think they will be interesting.

heres something i just pulled up from an old forum i used to post on....it was in response to the questions "what would you do if yu were president?" now....my ideas may seem a little out of whack, but i do not support policies because of their effect on the nation, but rather just whether or not i think the government shoul be doing it. enough chit-chat,....here is hat i responded with:
if i were president...
1. i would be assasinated.
but if i by somehow didnt get killed i would implemint these policies:
take away all taxes (including sales and income). the new tax will be named "fair-share" tax. it will be done by taking the yearly estimate fed. spending and dividing it by the number of citizens. each citizen pays that amount.
cut all government prorams that create revenue in other ways than the tax i have above stated.
cut off all government giveaways....such as welfare and social security and all that mess.
legalize recreational drugs.
take away the minimum wage.
kick all illegals out of the country, only give out a small amount of citizenships per year to those who we feel qualified. give an unlimited number of two week vacation green cards to foreigners...but they must pass a vigorous background check that the said alien must pay for us to conduct.
no more foreign aid. get out of the u.n.. tell countries who owe us money either they pay up or we take it forcefully.
revert back o post war war1 isolationism. only us military force against direct threats.
double our military funding. double our border patrol. start paying for our post office (instead of stamps.)
.........free health care to all children under age of 18. better schooling.
it was probably writte in a minute or so...but i really have to be getting to bed. ill dig up something with more substance later.

Most of that is just ripped off of the philosophy of libertariansim. The tax ideas are probably infeasible. Not all citizens work, so to just pay a general amount may not be possible. I thought you said your ideas were original :-\

yes, i know ..i AM libertarian, if you want to clasify me by my policies, except libertarians economic policies are so because they feel it will boost our economy, e on the other hand dont give a fuck about the economy when making my poilices. i think a countries economy is/should be based on volunteer effort. and libertarianism, even the one i mentioned earlier, is qite originail...its qite unheard of and doesnt have any political power. butt liek i said, thats all opinion and anyone can have an opinion. takes no expert there. ill try to writ eup something a bit more impressive tomorrow in the downtime at school.

I don't see how libertarianism qualifies as original. It's hardly a new philosophy. I don't think you can write anything that impresses me because I have read a great deal. Superstar was kind enough to send a link to some of your posts elsewhere ;D

anyone who says Dex isnt all he's made out to be is seriously fucked up - he's got size, conditioning, detail, and a tiny waist. I hear you on his faults: high lats, long torso, no calves, a face with lots of character . . . and yet none of these detract from his overall package. Watch his video and you'll know where I'm coming from - the guy is UNREAL! The man carries his own on stage and takes care of business in the gym. He's going to be Mr. Olympia the year Ronnie retires - mark that!

LOL, I thought you guys said he was ugly :)
-
i watched that video of dex hes weak as hell. hes got decent strength on the bench does 405lbs for like 5-6reps... but considering he is on growth and everything else thats not impressive. on all the exercises he does he does pussy weights
-
Dex far from being perfect,is quads,calves,high lats and abit weird waist structure are all not the ideal BUT the total package is still amazing!
He is more consistent then Ray was ,he never came off and only gain more size each contest.
Give the man the respect he deserves.

Tell me about it, he need to push himself harder otherwise he might not his pro card and be regarded as one of the best of his time.
step up Dex, you need to bench 410 for 5-6 reps.
-
Great pic, ND! He was definitely more aesthetic in his younger days. Now he plays the same game that numerous pros say they don't want to play.
And he wins..So what's the problem??
-
Cutler never posted here,and I still think he got implants (not Synthol).
-
I dont remember anyone with that username.
Anyway one pic(that dont prove anything,notice implant not synthol)<<< tons of videos and pics.
I still think he got something funky with them and I couldnt care less what you or others think about it.
-
And he wins..So what's the problem??
I just find it ironic that many pros claim that they looked better before they turned pro, even though they may be successful afterward.
