God damn it!
Posting pics like that is killing my argument. Shhhh!
How about this: can we agree that Serge is a lot like Mishko in that...
*both men look outstanding relaxed, with great abs and pecs (and in Milos' case, add quad size and sweep to the mix)
*both have a few outstanding poses. Miskho's front lat spread was very, very good. Both men had great side-chests. And pretty much any way they chose to show off their abs was impressive.
*those factors, particularly just looking good
standing there, have a kind of "wow" factor that makes most people overlook their weaknesses; e.g., Milos' thin back, or how Serge's arms don't look as overwhelming in a front biceps pose than they do hanging at his sides.
Maybe Serge is one of the greatest ever. I don't put him in my own top 20, but BBing is subjective; some of us value certain criteria over others. But Galeniko, my point -- more or less, anyway -- is that, aesthetically-pleasing and (maybe ironically) as strong-looking as Serge was, technically speaking, he was unbalanced. Otherwise, we'd be crowing about his legs, lats and such as much as we talk about how good his pecs or midsection were.
Does that make more sense?
