perfect example of the fact that TAPER can be very important in certain poses...

ND says otherwise, but the proof is in the pics. Dorian has wide lats. But the waist ruins this effect to some degree.
This is exactly why you're not a judge , one thats not Dorian at his alltime best and two I love how you say Dorian's lack of taper ruins it for you yet the person who you think should have beat Yates in 1994 had no taper lol but thats okay? its okay for Shawns lack of taper that doesn't ruin it for you when it comes to beating Yates but when it comes to Yates beating Ronnie its another story , this is why you're biased
And like Arnold said whenever you do back shots and flex the calf and nothing happens the WHOLE pose is ruined , and in the latspread the judges look for a good spread of the lats that creates a v-taper , they don't say the guy with the best V-taper will automatcially beat the other even his he has no lowerlegs to speak of lol your ignorance and bias march one 470+ pages , but I will always correct you .
