So you like a small waist on Melvin, but not on Dennis and you define having a blocky physique that is totally devoid of hardness, seperation and fullness as Herculean?
It's not the same. Melvin has a small waist but it's proportionate. There's not a dramatic narrowing with Melvin;
everything flows proportionately.
Wolf looks downright odd; he's fairly massive yet he has a freakishly narrow lower back.
He looks taller than he actually is as a result.
Jay is huge everywhere. He looks like the Hulk, and there's no denying the impressivness of that.
His separation and hardness last year were good enough to edge out Ronnie; I admit he wasn't looking sharp this year.
But Victor also looked bad in the conditioning department. When you have two guys coming in with sub-par conditioning,
the more muscularly developed guy will take it every time. It's a preferance of the judges and myself.
Muscle maturity takes a long time to develop; conditioning can be screwed up with simple bad timing.
