What's the big deal about the abs? It is being blown out of proportion. Dallas' calves make up for it in spades. I liked Cedric's speech (minus the dry humping) and he also said respect and appreciate the diversity of physiques on the stage. And he is right. Everyone has something different to offer.
I think Dallas did great and did improve the detail in his back - contrary to all those that claimed it would be impossible for him to do.
Cedric deserved the win but Dallas has not peaked yet. I think he needed a little more detail / separation in his quads (or maybe he forgot to flex them 100% in a few poses) and his back can improve more. And he needs to really control his gut in relaxed poses / transitions. But he certainly did his homework and came in looking impressive and deserved second place. Dallas was easily the biggest guy onstage and certainly bigger than Cedric. He is also the strongest of them all.



In this pose he did not flex his quads 100%


He dominates Cedric in the MM.
