In this pic tom looks great but his lats and shoulders still dont match his calves and legs. Tom had certain poses he was unbeatable in. But shows then were not judged on just certain poses or who was the biggest. Look at him standing from the front. Can you honestly say he looked symmetrical? Proportional? Lmao. No way. Dickerson should of never won any show. He had nothing. I never understood how they kept giving him show after show after show. If there was ever any injustice to bodybuilding shows it was having dickerson win.

Who decides what symmetry is as it relates to the human body - Symmetry from right to left yes
Only what is symmetry from front to back or upper body to lower body.
EG,. Is Phil Heath with them huge arms & delts & small pecs & narrow shoulders -
Arnold Symmetrical with those huge arms & Thin legs - & they both won multi Olympia’s
