Actually, the judges were that BAD. Ever wonder why bodybuilding has gone downhill over the past decade or more? Part of the reason is because guys like Dorian were being rewarded over more aesthetic physiques.
I see your point and have to agree somewhat. However, Dorian, Ronnie, and Jay did what needed to be done in order to be rewarded by the IFBB judges. I think all three of them looked better at lighter weights, however, the judges wanted mass at the expense of aesthetics. For example, Dorian looked best from 92-95, Ronnie looked best 98-99, and Jay looked his best in 01. But, with Dexter's win maybe the criteria has changed in favor of the more aesthetic look. Guess we'll find out in October.
