your limited way of thinking is evident by your responses. Who's to say a difference of 1-2% body fat outweighs a 30 lbs difference in size? Who's to say calves are more important than arms? Who's to say balance is more prized than muscle shape? My point is that everyone attaches their own importance to each criteria. Bodybuilding is a subjective sport. If it were objective as you say, then judges and fans should always agree on the placings since objectivity exist independent of the observer.
oh brother! I've seen you posting in Ronnie threads. You also respond to a great majority of Hulkster's and my posts. So according to your logic, you're following us around.

the irony of you claiming my thinking is limited , when your thinking is limited to your ignorance of how competitive bodybuilding is judged . and how the fuck did you come to the conclusion the difference in bodyfat is 1-2% ? I want an explanation please elaborate on this gem and 30 pounds of what? if Ronnie matched his 2001 Arnold Classic conditioning while being 287 pounds you'd be working with something but he's not even close , the difference between conditioning from 1998 and 1999 was noticeable enough to warrant a comment the difference between 1998 in terms of conditioning and 2003 is staggering
who says calves are more important than arms? well you're already working under the assumption Dorian doesn't have arms which is a lie because you know better , Dorian has better triceps/forearms the difference in biceps is staggering obviously just like the difference between calves is night & day , and to answer your question calves are a lost more important than biceps and why? because as you already know calves can been single in every single pose from every single angle , biceps can't but you know this already
And your statement that ' everyone attaches their own importance to each criteria ' is just another example of your blatant ignorance of how competitive bodybuilding is judged , you're not ignorant let me amend that because I've explained to you how contests work , so you're not ignorant just stupid. let me remind you
all rounds are physique rounds the judges DO NOT attach their own importance to the criteria ALL the criteria is applied at once in every single pose from every single angle
And comparing one champion to another from another era is very subjective the judging criteria is NOT and the obvious reason is the fans and the judges don't always agree is? the fans DO NOT KNOW how contests are judged and the judges do you , Hulkster , pumpster and countless other still can't grasp how professional contests are judged , they always ponder how Yates' can win the the symmetry round despite not being as ' symmetrical ' as some of his contemporaries , how could he possibly win the posing rounds despite not being a classic poser like Lee Labrada , and how did he win?
all rounds are physique roundsBalance - A term referring to an even relationship of body proportions in a man's physique. Perfectly balanced phys-ical proportions are a much-sought-after trait among competitive bodybuilders. perfectly balanced proportions are much sought after trait Dorian has the advantage especially over Ronnie 2003
Density - Muscle hardness, which is also related to muscu-lar definition. A bodybuilder can be well-defined and still have excess fat within each major muscle complex. But when he has muscle density, even this intramuscular fat has been eliminated. A combination of muscle mass and muscle density is highly prized among all competitive bodybuilders. Dorian has a clear cut advantage in density especially over Ronnie 2003 its night & day not some 1-2%
now combine Dorian's advantage in balance & his advantage in density & dryness his completeness his advantage in posing & presentation he would make short work Ronnie 2003
