uh. no.
Its amazing what lengths the dorian fans will go to to make their hero look good.
They take the man with one of the widest waists in Mr. O. history and orgasm over a pic taken on an ANGLE that minimizes the adverse effect of his waist.
Dorian's taper was never ever as good as peak Ronnie's in the rear lat spread.
that is simply an effect of his much wider waist. That is why Ronnie at his peak had a better rear lat spread. Compare the youtube videos of Ronnie 99 to Dorian. its obvious.
Okay so according to you Ronnie wins the rear latspread because if a better taper? lol here is the Official I.F.B.B. judging criteria for the rear latspread
ack Lat Spread (see Figure 5)
Standing with his back to the judges, the competitor will
place his hands on his waist with his elbows kept wide,
one foot back and resting on the toes. He will then
contract the latissimus dorsi as wide as possible and
display a calf contraction by pressing downward on the
rear toes. The competitor should make an effort to
display the opposite calf to that which was displayed
during the back double biceps pose so the the judge may
assess both calf muscle equally. It shall be strictly
forbidden for the competitor to pull up on the posing
trunks so as to show the gluteus maximus muscles.
The judge will look for a good spread of the latissimus
dorsi, but also for good muscle density and will again
conclude with the head-to-foot survey.NO WHERE in that does it say the guy with the best taper if preferred , it says they will contract the lats as wide as possible , both Ronnie & Dorian are know for the width of their lats , so far we're even now we move onto calves which they ask for BOTH to be displayed case closed clear cut advantage for Dorian , both have striated glutes but Ronnie has more I don't think this ' advantage ' can overcome the weakest calves of ANY Mr Olympia winner ever , again they look for a good spread of the lats and
muscle density another clear cut advantage for Dorian , no one really ever matched Yates in density & dryness , sorry slick Yates is the clear cut winner in this pose ( among most of the others as well ) you and Coleman are
owned via the IFBB judging criteria.
