there have been a few pros with very little vascularity.some of them are flex,jay,jp fux,ruhl etc.so do judges really mark one down if they lack vascularity.i do know that the bodybuilders that i have mentioned were'nt really marked down but having a real vascular physiue really helps one out in competions???some of the pros such as yates,dillet,coleman were known for their vascularity and they were always in the top 5 of any competition.even before ronnie became a mr olympia he was always in top 6.same with dillet.so does vascularity show ones level of condition or is it just genetics?
