Dexter deserved his placing

[No Patience]

walking around stage with his gut sticking out, no calves, no change from the last decade

i don't care how stacked you are upstairs, no calves = no wins

you cannot give a win to an uncomplete physique

[Aerian]

This is very true.  Atleast the new crop of  bodybuilders have calves.  Kai,Branch,Phil,Roelly,Ronnie,etc/.

[Tony Doherty]

Then how come Branch can waddle around without forearms, same shit but no one seems to mention it.

[Flexb]

And how come Kai can have a bloated mid section



Wow, this guy just won the Arnold Classic. What happened to bodybuilding

coleman did it

Great quad striations but it his upper body doesn't beat Jacksons

Good question.

[Flexb]

 



Now this is bodybuilding

Aesthetic or whatever.
Just dexter is too small. Period.

[Mr Nobody]

Aesthetic or whatever.
Just dexter is too small. Period.

He needs to retire he won his Mr O, I dont see it getting better for him.

[Rami]

 To remain top you at least have to repeat your previous showing or improve. Dexter has looked better and is probably over the hill. It happens to the best of them, Coleman for example.

his physique looked pretty worn-out in that Arnold..

[JasonH]

I wouldn't say Dexter is over the hill, it's just that he's being beaten by guys now who are better than him.

Because Dorian and Ronnie had it, and it didn't work against them.

[Sherief Shalaby]

coleman did it

DORIAN DID IT BETTER WITH ONE WHOLE MISSING ARM IN 97!!..

[nycbull]

Branch is the new alpha male on the block

[Rami]

DORIAN DID IT BETTER WITH ONE WHOLE MISSING ARM IN 97!!..

Conclusion, BB is about muscle size and conditioning. Shape and symmetry is secondary but obviously still important or Greg Kovacs would be MR.O

[Flexb]

I never liked dexter's look.  His gut has a strange look to it that isnt normal.  he doesnt have a wow factor, is short, and a poor representative of the sport in general.

And Kai is a better representative? 

[Flexb]

Because Dorian and Ronnie had it, and it didn't work against them.

Kai is no Dorian or Ronnie though

[affeman]

Kai is no Dorian or Ronnie though

Kai beats ANY version of Dorian, so does Phil.

[MattT]

you're too small

[ironneck]

you're too small

kyomu on a bit more test and deca than he takes would crush that field

[Flexb]

Kai beats ANY version of Dorian, so does Phil.

Kai wouldn't even place in the top 5 in that era

[MB]

This was a very tough show to judge the top 4.  I could do without Dexter's constant walking back and forth onstage asking for applause.  I wish the guys would learn how pitiful that looks.  Little things like that can hurt you when the show is so close.
