These guys wouldn't even be allowed to compete in the BB class in posing trunks these days. They'd wear boardshorts and compete in Classic Physique or how that BS is called.

This is the 2019 overall champion, to illustrate the difference

I wish bodybuilding would go back to those standards but that ship has sailed.

Looking at Shawn’s physique, he was much better than dexters physique ever was, from a aesthetics standpoint, he flows much better, classic physique from head to toe, and more complete

I've known Phil for many years. I was at the same gym when he was training for both the '84 USA and '85 Nationals.

Haven't seen him now for a couple of years, but he's kept his conditioning. He was a very disciplined trainer and used moderate weight and very strict form.
