His arms look painful, that look when too much oil is present. They all abuse synthol, the key is using enough but not too much as you spoil the effect completely. Derek has no separation between bicep heads, or even between the bicep and triceps.

Should one body part carry more weight when deciding these things? We already know the back wins the show, but the arm is such an important muscle group. I think perhaps 75% started training to get big fuckin arms, even the female bodybuilders have better arms than Derek.

I was going to post a ripped picture of '88 DeMey and ask 'what went wrong?'  Then I thought for a moment and you don't need to go back that far for examples of what a top physique looked like

Looks like a power sausage - a new species.

He literally looks like a frog.

Except the frogs have better muscle definition/separation, shape, and lower back muscularity.

bad example to prove a point, dexter was known for putting huge amounts of oil in arms (specifically biceps)  and calves
(derek looks like shit though)

Yeah that’s true. None of them as of late have those death faces. I remember Dorian looking very Skelton like and worn down in the face.

Fair enough - I agree oil's bad, but I was more aiming to show the point about their on-the-day definition could be better for some modern guys like Derek
