smoothness reflects a lack of muscular definition, you dipshit.
No, it doesen't, you turd. You can have rock-hard muscles that are less separated than muscles that look soft. An example? Ronnie at the 1998 Olympia had a more separated back than Dorian at the 1993 Olympia, and yet Dorian's back looked harder.
Owned.
Flex's back, glutes, inner thighs, and hamstrings looked very smooth compared to Dorian's. So although Flex may have been more defined in some areas, he was also smoother in others. I contend that both showed an equal level of overall definition; perhaps Flex slightly less.
Smooth and separated are
not the same thing, and while it's true that Flex's back, glutes and hams looked softer than Dorian's, they were just as separated. Separations are affected by factors other than subcutaneous bodyfat and water. The evidence? Some guys never become as defined as others no matter how low their subcutaneous fat and water level drops. Ronnie has better genetics for separations than Dorian, but Dorian loses more subcutaneous water than Ronnie, which allows him to look harder. For instance, Ronnie was as low in bodyfat and had as many separations at the 1998 Olympia s he had at the 2001 ASC, but he looked even harder at the 2001 ASC. Why? Because he was carrying less water. Your theory is wrong that subcutaneous bodyfat and water are the only factors that affect definition. Why? Because for it to be true, each and every single person in the World would necessarily need have the exact same amount of muscular separations at the exact amount of subcutaneous bodyfat and water, which is simply not true..
the pic you're referring to is a close up of their arms, delts and chest. It's already been established that Ronnie carries less fat and water in these areas than Dorian. But that's besides the point.
No, he didn't. Dorian is clearly holding no water whatsoever beneath his arms, delts and chest, and yet he still doesen't have the separations in these areas as Ronnnie has. Ronnie, conversely, is clearly puffy and looks soft, yet the separations between his three deltoid heads, as well as that between his biceps, triceps and brachialis, are clearly more visible than Dorian's. Besides, we're talking about the whole body here and not some specific bodyparts, and Ronnie at the 1996 Olympia had an overral amount of separations that was superior to Dorian's. That is, if you added up the separations in their entire bodies and compared, you'd see that Ronnie had more of them, despite the fact that he was holding more subcutaneous fat and water than Dorian.
My main quarrel with your comment is that you compared a shot of Dorian flexing and Ronnie getting ready to hit a pose, and submitted this as proof that Dorian was harder.
And how does this support your argument? Since Dorian is flexing, and yet has less defined arms and delts than Ronnie, this is further evidence that I'm right about subcutaneous fat and water not being the only factors that affect muscular separations. Nice going for helping my argument, dumbass!
