you are aware thats not a good thing.....
anyone with missing bodyparts shouldnt be Mr Olympia...
Labrada, Ray, didnt ever stand onstage with a missing bodypart, almost all other top 10 Olympia competitors have missing bodyparts, its normally calves.
You are spot on.
judging criteria is-The best overall physique / not just the biggest / most defined.
The man who is most balanced from top to toe left to right and back & front with adequate size & conditioning, Presentation also.
That's as it should be judged as we all know the rule books went out the window as soon as they wrote them - Perhaps if they had stuck to the judging criteria Bodybuilding physiques wouldn't be in the mess they are.
clearly some body parts rank higher than others - physical imbalances don't matter or missing body parts
When you look at it like that the judging has needed a needed a complete overhaul for a very long time.
