they compare very favorably ! levrones got denser muscles and his outer tricep is thicker, but phils more veiny and has more roundness !

I think Levrone takes it here. Bigger, wider, and just as conditioned, maybe more so.

When Levrone was competing at his peak, that was the golden era for bodybuilding, when guys as good as him couldn't win the Olympia - the overall standard has dropped since then because I think we've now reached a plateau with bodybuilders physical development.

not really, we now just see the results of judges favouring incomplete physiques with 'freak' bodyparts or conditioning for years and years

once they start awarding the total package (including calves, forearms, balance, proportion etc) the level of competition will skyrocket

i'm tired of seeing these 'huge' guys with tiny calves and midgets with t-tex arms or 'genetic marvels' with 10 inch forearms, just gas the judges and the problem will fix itself

levrone looks harder, denser, more conditioned, thicker and if you look closely he is more vascular. Phil looks bloofy in comparison

The thing is though, at last year's Olympia, the judges did award the title to the best overall "total package". Don't get me wrong, Heath was great and deserved to win, but he was merely the best of a bad bunch - he would never have beaten Ronnie or Dorian in their prime with that physique. The judges can only go with what they're presented with on any given day.

The only way bodybuilders will improve now is if they get significantly better drugs, or discover some sort of gene doping technology to propel them into another league.

what i'm trying to say is Heath is not the total package, he is the total package in the current line up of flawd gollems though

judges should start rewarding complete pysiques on a lower level of competetion (local, regional, state) which will lead to better competition and physiques on a higher level (national, international)

Just curious. Why does everyone call him that? Is it a well known fact that he shoots insulin n for that matter doesn't just about every pro bb?
