He looks good don't get me wrong, but up there, on that day, his back was getting crushed. Calves/hams are amazing enough to keep his head above water, but he really is getting crushed by everyone-except the actual winner...Branch looks the worst out of all of them
Fair enough. I can only go by the photos.
Evan seems to look like he has a
physique and not just blobs and bumps that most bodybuilders call muscles these days.
I would gladly have placed Evan first based on his
overall look, even if his back is being 'crushed'. Victor looks good too but those calves just look suspect. Look at the lack of cuts and separation when he flexes them in the rear-double bicep shot. Now, comapre them to Evan's calves. If you are flexing and there are no cuts (or any kind of separation), then you should be marked down. I notice that a lot in the shoulders. The rear-double bicep pose is perfect for seeing the separation of the heads in the shoulders. But these days, all you often see is a couple of blobs. Lots of oil or something fishy in there.
The judges seem to have forgotten what the human body is supposed to look like. Perhaps medical students should be judges instead.
