Most of the guys who are of similar height looks best at max 230. Prince, for example was at his best when he was around 230.
True, but Flex was an anomaly in that he weighed less than the majority of the competitors his height. In 97 he was 224, and Nasser was 280...in 99, he made the mistake of trying to play the Mass Game, and should have stuck to his roots, he has beaten Ronnie not thru his mass, but by his shape and conditioning...but it was too late, Ronnie had mass, shape, and conditioning in spades...
I often thought that Arne List looked better and more complete than Tom Prince.
Brian had better lines, thicker chest, even smaller waist.
His progression should have been more gradual granted.
I'll give you that.
