in other words there is no "symmetry" rounds, all are "physique" rounds.
in other words judging criteria is as subjective as it gets
in other words judge give the sandow to whoever they sympahtise more for.
No it's not ' subjective as it gets ' , in every single pose the apply ALL of the criteria at once , standing relaxed , who is carrying the most muscle AND who has the best symmetry AND who has the better balance AND who has the better proportion AND who has the better density AND who is drier AND who is better at posing AND presentation
You have a line-up of guys all standing relaxed you can clearly see who is carrying more muscle when directly compared to the others , who is in better condition , who has better shape , who has better proportions , who better at holding the pose , who looks confident to be there and who looks just happy to get a call out , who has control over their physique and who is shaking and fighting while posing , who has high calves and who doesn't , who has a long torso and short legs and who has more of a balanced torso and legs , whose tan is perfect and whose isn't , etc , etc , etc
Now that applies to every single pose from every angle
