I think due to the evolution of the sport and the fan base the guys have been pushed to become gigantic bodybuilders. What this means though is that they lose their flow and their symmetry. Hadi is a guy who benefits from the new size requirements when he was smaller his flaws compared to a Padilla or Nubret type of physique are apparent. However the amount of size and conditioning he has allowed him to place so well. He prob would not have done good in bodybuilding in the golden era but in this era for the size game he is a freak and probably second to none in size and hardness in 2022-2024.
Phils arm separation and tie ins as well as round muscle bellies were superior for sure but he was also a 7 time Olympia.
