The under 202 class will see this standard relived. Guys like Jaroslav, Flex Lewis, Steve Namat, Dave Henry, along with bigger guys like Dexter Jackson, Dennis Wolf, Craig Richardson, Melvin Anthony, and others. The old-style packages are still there, just not as remarkable or seen as often as they were back then.

There's a few guys like that still around, you just don't see them because they're not placed.  Look at Rusty Jeffers for one.

Steve Namat 2002 had a classic physique.   Now not so much.

  Hard to improve upon that, but just from that pic, his delts need more thickness and his chest isn't the best. This is going to sound weird, and I don't want it to, but Bob had kind of female bodybuilding proportions in a way, legs, thighs especially overshadowing the upper body ...  (NOT a slam, just my impression).

His win over Rory at the nats was bullshit. Bob even admitted to Rory that it was a paid victory. Bob was a flamer and liked it up the ass... nuff said.

  Rory was a god. Well shaped, thick and strong as hell. Just had trouble hitting his peak onstage, its not as easy as some think, especially for bigger guys..

Yeah he was awesome. He admits there was better conditioned guys, but he said that he always had a better overall look. The first year of the nationals the big fight was supposed to be Rory and Lee Haney. Rory's wife was giving birth so he decided to go home and Manion screwed him over for it. Apparently Rory got angry letter from the higher-ups in the NPC... Manion's a piece of shit.

Bodybuilding is not dead , it really hasn't grown but spare me the dramatics. again the same judging criteria awarded Levrone 20 professional wins THAT YOU SUPPORT so stop picking and choosing when the criteria works and doesn't
