The pics made it look close, the video not so much.
Idk how much more Phil weighed than Shawn but Phil carried muscle that overflowed off his torso emphasizing his narrow width. In an odd way, Shawn carrying less muscle made a more asthetic, proportional, look that never made him look narrow.
My only critique of Shawn were his thighs. He was almost bottom heavy and his thigh shape just looked like they belonged to a different body than his upper body.
Aside from that 96 was a great Olympia. I have no issues with Dorian winning this one. Dillet was awesome, Nasser was in great shape, Shawn and Dorian all brought it. Its hard to appreciate in pictures, a little easier with video, and Id imagine its obvious in person that Dorian carried more dense, shredded muscle than anyone else that day.
