Alright then, then that is all I ask. I still don't get the bit about how density equates to hardness. When I think dense I think compact and tight.
Dorian's muscles were more compact and tight than Ronnie's...

There is a spatial thought behind it. If you are equating density with hardness and muscularity, then I agree that Dorian had him as he had better conditioning.
"Denser" means that muscle looks less soft, less water logged. I think this has do to with Dorian having less
sub-cutaneous water than Coleman. Being dryer makes the muscle look harder.
WHy didn't you just point this out ten pages ago, so I would not have gone into the physiology torture session.
Since I wasn't tortured and felt no pain, as my points on physiology were correct, then you have nothing to apologize. As for the water and ice analogy, you didn't get me there: you only showed that I mixed up the two. The basic fact continues valid: water and ice have uneven physical densities. Which is what I said from the start.
Anyway man, no hard feelings. I just read something that set me off. However, one thing, Ronnie is more vascular and bigger. Why doesn't he look dense?
Maybe because he has a thick layer of water under his skin, and water smoothens out the physical appearance of muscles making him look less "compact and tight"?
