Van his shoulders are stridated, actually very stridated.Like I said before these pics were taken on a cell phone, and the lightining sucked.If you look at these pics the lightining is so poor its looks like I took the pics in the dark, lol.
As far as carb loading goes, everybody is diffrent.Roberts body, doesnt look good carb depleted, its makes his muscle look flatt.When his body is carbed up his muscle look fuller and alot more hard and dense.
My body was the same way, when I was carb depleted I looked like shi$# you couldnt see any of my vascularity.I have very thin skin so my veins always show, but on low carb these literally disappear.
Some guys are carb sensitive, Like Toney Freeman, and some guys like Robert need carbs.
Van you have seen what carbs can do and the variabe they play in bodybuilding.
Look at Vince Goodrum, he always manages to spill over on his carb load some how.He will be shredded the night before the show, then when he wakes up in the morning he doesnt have a vein in his body, and his bodyfat goes from 4% to 15% over night.Imagine that,....lol
