Congrats you know how to use Google's search feature I know exactly what contest it was. And you didn't specify if it had to be an IFBB contest and you prove to you wrong again that the criteria even in the IFBB hasn't always existed go see how the very first Olympia were judged and it isn't the same as it was in 1994
so your point that Shawn wasn't judged to the original standards that have always been is flat-out wrong and ignorant
You just did it again that's where Dorian's quads lacked separation like Franco's did in 1981 that's comparing his quads to Francos and it's absurd and flat-out wrong. they all had better rectus femoris separation than Dorian , go Google the rest of the muscles of the ' thigh ' watch the 1991 Mr Olympia where Lenda Murray comments on Dorian saying ( and I'm paraphrasing here ) " He looks like Haney with legs " implying the obvious Lee had NO legs so any advantage in rectus femoris separation is rendered moot by inferior everything else.
Here is an IFBB judge commenting on Dorian's torn muscle
Added Rockell: Dorian had a SLIGHT injury but as far as I'm concerned , it had NO bearing whatsoever. He was just so dense it made no overall difference. Paul's major deficiencies were in his back : not enough muscularity for his large frame. also basic stamina throughout was in question ; during call-outs , he was breathing heavy and bending over.
the distended abdomen ( not stomach
) wasn't visible when held tight in poses and whenever the overall package is so dominating one bicep shorter than another makes no overall impact. It may to you and point taken but we deal with what happened and not what should have happened. Dorian's torn bicep would hurt one pose only and that's the front double biceps pose
And his structure is NOT the same as Dexter , Dexter has much wider clavicles and back width big difference there and Dexter's structure allows him to carry more size without ill effect to his structure.
When you know the history of the sport you don't need Google search,but maybe your experience tells you otherwise...And as I told you before,the actual procedure of judging the contests and the qualities that the winner's physique should consist of are 2 different things.As the first has been changed many times,the latter remained the same for a long time.
Dorian's torn biceps was visible not only in the FDB,but also in some side poses,when he exposed his left arm(rarely,but he did it!),as well as in the BDB pose as a lack of biceps peak.And his distended stomach(or abdomen if you prefer) was visible when he was relaxed and in his transitions,otherwise we would't talk about it!
What I said about Dexter is that his bone structure is similar to Shawn's not the shape of his muscles!Overall Dexter has his own flaws:if Shawn has lagging calves,Dexter has zero calves,he has high lats,his right upperarm is much bigger than his left one,and he has a distended abdomen,so his more size has an ill effect to his structure after all.
The pics below show that Dorian's torn biceps was naticable not only in the FDB,but also in other poses...
