If this is the type of physique that we have to look forward to gracing the dais, then its no wonder so many of us look back to Zane, Arnold, Reeves, Mentzer, Park, Pearl, Oliva, Paris and so many others. I don't think Haney is all that great (but far better than Heath) and find Yates to be grossly overdone in his pursuit of size but still better overall than Phil.
If others think differently that's fine. The squatty, obese with legs better suited to an elephant emerged with the likes of Yates and turds like Tom Prince. I would call this not so much size for the sake of size but rather size for the sake of sighs. In other words, it's a schmoe world after all. Fetishists.
Since schmoes think with their dicks, I know that I am writing over their heads.
As for the popularity of Heath? A billion flies eat shit but that doesn't make it a Happy Meal.
