how are balance and proportion not important anymore? isnt that in the ifbb rules that is IS part of judging criteria?
Yes ! these guys love to try and separate the criteria to meet their needs however thats not how it works , evrything is taking into consideration in each and every mandatory pose , size , conditioning , density , balance & proportion , posing , completeness they will hyperfocus on an advantage that Ronnie has in the pose and forget thats not how its done , like Oh Ronnie would win because he has impressive split biceps , small waist & narrow hips and small joints & great quad flare and forget he's lagging behind in conditioning & density , he's incomplete , he's down on muscular bulk I mean these people refuse to go by the judging criteria
bottom like in ANY pose Ronnie is already down on conditioning & density and balance & proportion , I don't care what pose it is right off the bat he's at a disadvantage .
