Where's dorian in the side chest? Either dorian is not there or I can't see his "lack" of side chest.
The comparisons of the compulsory poses cannot be overemphasized
as these comparisons will help the judge to decide
which competitor has the superior physique from the standpoint of
muscular bulk, balanced development, muscular density and
definition.
3. Side Chest (see Figure 3)
The competitor may choose either side for this pose, in
order to display the “better” arm. He will stand with his
left or right side towards the judges and will bend the arm
nearest the judges to a right-angle position, with the fist
clenched and, with the other hand, will grasp the wrist.
The leg nearest the judges will be bent at the knee and
will rest on the toes. The competitor will then expand the
chest and by upward pressure of the front bent arm and
contract the biceps as much as possible. He will also
contract the thigh muscles, in particular, the biceps
femoris group, and by downward pressure on his toes,
will display the contracted
calf muscles.
The judge will pay particular attention to the pectoral
muscles and the
arch of the rib cage, the biceps, the leg
biceps and the
calves, and will conclude with the head-tofoot
examination. In this pose the judge will be able to
survey the thigh and
calf muscles in profile, which will
help in grading their comparative development more
accurately.
Now factor in muscular balance , muscular density , and conditioning and the fact that Ronnie's side-chest gets dominated by his overdeveloped front & side delts and his poor balance coupled with his lack of balance & density and the fact that even he concedes his side-chest is the best he's personally seen , you people need to learn the criteria.
