I give these guys props for looking like real bodybuilders, period.
It's a damn shame that there has to be sub catagories like "physique" or "muscle model". That should just be the bodybuilding standard, regardless of whether you're 5'2", or 6'2". It was hard to tell Danny Padilla's height unless he was standing next to taller guys. It's all about proportion. One can still be big and ripped without having a bloated insulin belly. The pros of the '90's proved that. The vacuum pose should become mandatory. I don't think 99.9 percent of current IFBB pros are even capable of executing it. I bet any of these guys can though. That should be the standard that bodybuilding should be judged by. Hopefully the pendulum will start to swing the other way.
