Shawn Rhoden guest posing

[King Shizzo]

Why do you keep mentioning insertions? I've just highlighted in that picture how his lats don't insert high. Meaning he has muscle situated on his lower back that can be grown.

You're like an armchair quarter back. Your expertise in bodybuilding comes from looking at photos of finished products and videos. I've seen no evidence that you've taken yourself through those stages, yet you have knowledge of exactly how big Rhoden is able to get?

His back could be more muscular. I have no idea why it's lacking, but it is not because of insertions.

Bodybuilding is an art mixed with politics (like Getbig) Rhoden is a top contender, but his back will always be at an aesthetic disadvantage. His goal should be to dominate in other areas.

How do you know?

Why do you keep claiming he has high lat insertions?

The pictures/video prove everything. He will never have the best back in the final callout.

[El Diablo Blanco]

I wonder who the ladies prefer?

Not sure but I always wear my jeans to the beach

Nor the best arms, or chest, or quads, or hams. But hey he has one of the best shapes and abs in the line up.

The pics/vids prove that his back is lacking thickness. Up until recently, it was shallow, now it is less so. It's not about "insertions", but about thickness. By doing more exercises that target thickness and detail, he will and has made improvements. Because he has made improvements, shows that it is not about "insertions". It's about doing what needs to be done to get the muscle thickness. Also, muscle maturity is bro science AFIK there is no medical term called "muscle maturity", otherwise Shawn Ray at 22 achieved muscle maturity early. And his style of training  that Rhoden was known for didn't  help him, either. It's not as back as Dillett's training (that is hard to beat).

Parker, we get that you like Rhoden. The facts are, his back will never win him an Olympia.

Take the blinders off for a minute, and asses his physique like a judge would. Rhoden's back is one of his few weaknesses.

I am not really a Rhoden fan. And no one is saying that he will win an O. Everybody acknowledges that his back is one of his weakness. And his lack of split between bis and tris in front arm poses.

Who are you a fan of, in this current roster of pros?

[Mitch]

his kidneys weren't on the guest list, I guess.

[maxkane69]

I wonder who the schmoes prefere ?

[Papper]

He doesnt look like total shit but come on.. Compare him to that hungarian dude when he is offseason for instance

His back looks like he never even glanced at the seated row machine after the O

[Primemuscle]

Why do you wonder this?

Anyway it depends on the schmoe. Not everyone is attracted to the same type. Some guys like women with big boobs while others don't. Other men like women with big butts, while some of us find these oversized mounds of fat disgustingly ugly. 

[io856]

maybe he doesn't believe in diuretics for a guest posing?

[Waller]

For comparison, Dex looking just as bloofy but fucking huge still. Same show.

That you even need a system of drugs not to look like a complete bloat bag! Hilarious these "pro's"

[pellius]

Wearing a hat and sun glasses in a thong is always a good look no matter what shape you're in.

[The Ugly]

Not sure but I always wear my jeans to the beach

And fedora in a thong?

[da_vinci]

Rhoden pretty much always looks a LOT worse when offseason. I guess most androgens are out of his system in these pics, just gh and some other peptides. Thats the "brand" look of these circumstances.

Dex looks out of this world, holly shit, unebelieveable genetics on that fella.

[pellius]

That's bloofy? You're not going to advance in bbing by staying at 6% year round. Dex knows what he's doing and is still improving well into his forties.

He's no Compton but yeah he's bloofy (especially when we normally see him diced), look at his back and hams especially. Loads of water. I'm not saying he doesn't look amazing. Dex is imo one of the best bodybuilders going.

I would want to hide my face too

[Azure]

By many accounts he won the prejudging at the Olympia.

He doesn't look fat and bloated like I have seen others. He also doesn't look like he's going to keel over any moment.

[io856]

By the looks at most your comments in this thread, most have no clue about competitive bodybuilding
