let me point something out to some of you. some of you like to say nasser has short legs and long torso, none of you actually see this, you just say you do because you heard someone else say it. Now to the point.
long torso gives the illusion of narrow torso/waist. short legs gives the illusion of thick legs. so by some peoples logic a thick waist and small legs is more desirable.
I've been pointing out Nasser's flaws for years and NO ONE told me , it's blatantly obvious if you know how a judge see's a physique and look at him in relation to others on-stage

NOT how it works , the judges look for who has the better overall balance in a physique that means who has a more balance upper/lower body , when you have a long torso and short legs and high lats that becomes obvious when you're standing next to someone who doesn't , it's more desirable in the judges eyes to have great balance & proportion as well as all the other criteria
All of these factors are judged , height , size , muscle length , arm length in relation to torso , leg length in relation to the torso , proportion between all the muscles , where the muscles insert , high calves , high lats , etc , this is all things judges assess when directly comparing guys on-stage among other things like size , symmetry , detail , density , dryness , posing , presentation , who has the least amount of flaws
99.9% of people on this board don't know this , don't care to know it , and only base what they think should win on what they prefer and as I've said countless times NOT HOW IT WORKS , they pick out better parts and claim their hero should win NOT HOW IT WORKS they base who should win on 'aesthetics ' NOT HOW IT WORKS
