Why do people keep talking about ideal look in bodybuilding, can the average athlete play like michael jordon, can they run like usain bolt, can they knockout people like mike tyson, no they cant that is why these extreme athletes makes good money.
So why the hell do you want the best bodybuilders in the world to look like average gym rats, that is why I say fuck physique contests hardcore bodybuilding is what I watch.
Jaco looks fucking insane dude, in shape he is shredded to the bone in a way you simply do not see on today's stages, at least in the open division. The 212 guys look pretty good, Raymond for one, and Dave Henry as well. Flex Lewis is ripped but its not a hard look like Jose or Dave get. Flex gets by with his mass per square inch factor, and his consistency as well as completeness. He deserves his success, but in terms of pure freak condition Raymond and Dave Henry are better. I can only speculate, but I would say that it is Flex being very reliant on insulin to carry size, as opposed to Dave with his black genetics, and Jose with his obvious insane AAS ABUSE, retarded amounts of gear probably runs everything super high and hits the diuretics and AI's hard as fuck come show time to get stupidly ripped. Not healthy, but results wise he knows what he's doing. Jose has also been bodybuilding his entire adult life, and he's not a young guy so he's got that grainy condition that guys tend to get as time on AAS increases. Look at guys who blew up quick, the young guys like Dallas McCarver. They simply don't have that look that the older guys have.
