Skin thickness has nothing to do with conditioning (as far as I know). Some people have thicker skin than others, which explains a lack of detail. Take Jay Cutler for example. I've asked you repeatedly to tell me how you determine dryness. The best you can come up with is "look at the difference." Well, I'm looking at the difference and it's the same as in the pics you showed me comparing Dorian to Ronnie.
No I explained to you four times already , conditioning is the lack of bodyfat , sub-q fat and water , if you have any of these than you can't see the underlying muscle to its fullest , striations are a indication of great conditioning to a certain degree , Yates had a striated christmass tree at 300lbs offseason but he was carrying fat else where , when a bodybuilder diets down he obviously tries to lose as much fat & water as possible while retaining the most muscle its a very difficult process
Dorian won for a host of reasons but among them was he was the biggest and the dryest , its easy to be ripped to the bone at 195lbs extremely difficult to be when you're 257lbs , before Dorian you were either big and not so dry or small and super-dry it was extremely hard to be both , and this was one of the main problems with a lot of Yates' contemporaries , Levrone could have gave Yates a serious run for his money if he could be just as big and just as dry , and you always got two versions of Kevin the super-ripped 235 pounder of the bigger and realtitively smoother 250 pounder
When you look at Yates is body is simply devoid of bodyfat , sub-q fat and water , he's simply the biggest nd dryest athlete of the lot .
