If anyone cares to take the time as I did to fully analyze all the scoresheets and 660 placings [full scoring of 11 mandatories done pose by pose, by 10 judges for a total of 660 separate points] with full consideration given to the resulting wide point margins of certain competitors one can see that the lack of ab/thigh mathematically and logistically speaking did not impact anyway. 64% of his place by place scores, out of the 56 scored poses [discounting ab/thigh] were placed at either 4, 5 or 6, with the 5 and 6's bringing the overall curve down even lower the ab/thigh could not have impacted really. I pointed out repeatedly prior, 91% of the scoring was not affected anyway, but post results the lack of impact is far more substantial due to wide margins of scores submitted. Placing would have basically been the same regardless, as it worked out.
As many have said DW has a very, very solid physique, lots of muscle and very lean. IMO, and others, he could have won this whole thing if an emphasis was placed on aspects of presentation; posing, tan, pic quality etc.
Nevertheless, he moved up a placing from last year, won $500 and presented a very nice physique which coincidently the two lady judges scored quite high lol. Congrats DW
