nd....
i know it hurts but some body parts carry greater weight than others.. no one gives a shit about forearms... or calves in comparison....
to the upper arm and legs you walk down the road and i walk down the road i have 20 inch ripped guns you have 16 inc guns with big forarms i will still get more looks....
in face huge forearms on a small arm make the arms look smaller
at the end of the day the GREATEST ARM LIST WHICH IS THE ARM IN ENTIRETY
has Coleman on there most time at no one.. Dorian never made the greatest arm list ever....
so we can conclude that Coleman made the greatest arm list which the whole arm in total and Dorian never made it
because no matter how you dissect it and spin it Coleman's arms made Dorian's looks like toothpicks...
in fact the whole top 10 of the 90's during Dorian reign OWNED him on arms..... badly
the words Dorian... great... arms should not be used in the same sentence...
the factthat you would even compare Dorian's sub par arms to Coleman's... bewilders me...
no one else in the entire bb industry has ever coined the sentence Dorian had great arms..
yet here you are saying they are better than arguably the two greatest arms ever...
cmon man....
You're again missing the whole point . Ronnie's biceps are clearly better , his triceps are clearly BIGGER his forearms aren't who cares? what does his better arms do for his side triceps shot? NOTHING
and I hate to correct you but you may not care about calves or forearms JUDGES DO it's in the criteria for assessing physiques
When assessing a competitor’s physique, a judge should follow a
routine procedure which will allow a comprehensive assessment of
the physique as a whole. During the comparisons of the
compulsory poses, the judge should first look at the primary
muscle group being displayed. The judge should then survey the
whole physique, starting from the head, and looking at every part
of the physique in a downward sequence, beginning with general
impressions, and looking for muscular bulk, balanced
development, muscular density and definition. The downward
survey should take in the head, neck, shoulders, chest, all of the
arm muscles, front of the trunk for pectorals, pec-delt tie-in,
abdominals, waist, thighs, legs,
calves and feet. The same
procedure for back poses will also take in the upper and lower
trapezius, teres and infraspinatus, erector spinae, the gluteus
group, the leg biceps group at the back of the thighs,
calves, and
feet. A detailed assessment of the various muscle groups should
be made during the comparisons, at which time it helps the judge
to compare muscle shape, density, and definition while still
bearing in mind the competitor’s overall balanced development.
The comparisons of the compulsory poses cannot be overemphasized
as these comparisons will help the judge to decide
which competitor has the superior physique from the standpoint of
muscular bulk, balanced development, muscular density and
definition.
6. Side Triceps (see Figure 6)
The competitor may choose either side for this pose so as
to show the “better” arm. He will stand with his left or
right side towards the judges and will place both arms
behind his back, either linking his fingers or grasping the
front arm by the wrist with his rear hand. The leg nearest
the judges will be bent at the knee and the foot will rest
flat on the floor. The competitor will exert pressure
against his front arm, thereby causing the triceps muscle
to contract. He will also raise the chest and contract the
abdominal muscles as well as the thigh and
calf muscles.The judge will first survey the triceps muscles, and
conclude with the head-to-foot examination. In this pose,
the judge will be able to survey the thigh and
calf muscles.in profile, which will help in grading their comparative
development more accurately.
Front Double Biceps (see Figure 1)
Standing face front to the judges, with the legs and feet
in-line and a short distance apart, the competitor will raise
both arms to shoulder level and bend them at the elbows.
The hands should be clenched and turned down so as to
cause a contraction of the biceps and
forearm muscles,which are the main muscle groups that are to be assessed
in this pose. In addition, the competitor should attempt
to contract as many other muscles as possible as the
judges will be surveying the whole physique, from head to
toe.
The judge will first survey the biceps muscles looking for a
full, peaked development of the muscle, noting whether
or not there is a defined split between the anterior and
posterior sections of the biceps, and will continue the
head-to-toe survey by observing the development of the
forearms, deltoids, pectorals, pec-delt tie-ins, abdominals,
thighs, and calves. The judge will also look for muscle
density, definition, and overall balance
Calves and Forearms MATTER in contests the whole package is what matters and calves & forearms help tremendously with overall balance & proportion
