Rick Wayne was Phil Heath, before Phil Heath.

Rich was a smart guy and good writer. I think his head was too big for his body and made him look smaller than he was. Ray Mentzer had that problem, too. Maybe we can say that about Shawn Ray?

Do you think judges marked him down b/c of the size of his head?

There is a famous case back in 1971 at the NABBA Professional Mr Universe contest where Bill Pearl was placed ahead of Sergio Oliva.

The French judge who was a respected Physical Culture professor put Sergio second because his head was too small for his body!!!

Guys like Ray and Ricky were huge guys. Arthur Jones measured Ray's arm at 20 1/4 inches. Only Sergio was up there over 20 according to Arthur.

Judges don't put you down but you just don't look as big because of that larger head.

The best example of that was a guy named Billy Parker from those days. Good build but never placed high.

Here is what Billy would have looked like if his head was more in proportion. Makes a big difference to his overall appearance.

Parker · « **Reply #20 on:** October 14, 2011, 10:31:52 PM »

Almost had to do a double take, that looked like Richard Jones...Also Rick Wayne was 5'7, so that may have to do with the scale...

Ray with a slightly smaller head and hair trimmed. He would have looked even bigger bald.

so thats the next step in bbing, finding a way to shrink heads to make body appear bigger!

sergio oliva had a small head, that explains his success
