oiled upper back and rear delts

I'm not good on muscle anatomy and all the names. But below the the rear delts don't look right. Is it the teres? I called him a Synthol monster and said he made it work. I didn't mean I liked everything about it like someone assumed, it's mostly just that the judges reward him for it. He does look 'freaky' and impressive in comparisons. I don't follow the pro talks and analyses that much but I haven't seen much or any negative said about him. He's the happy little negro everyone likes to see do well.

Speaking of oil, I just saw a clip of Bertil Fox posing at the 1994 Ironman. It was his last show and he was 43. I never saw Bertils appearance at that show before but he looks like he has very obvious oil in his shoulders.
I saw the clip on IG and I don't know how to link those clips here.
Randomly enough I was listening to a Chris Cormier interview yesterday and he said Bertil was cocky and arrogant, treating Chris like shit, kind of like 'Im a legend and you're just a kid.' Chris said Bertil was standing in front of him and Chris got the first callout, so as he stepped past Bertil he just slipped by him and said 'excuse me' like he didn't want to laugh but he got in the first callout and Bertil got none. Chris ended up in 2nd and Bertil was 14th.

Test prop or any slightly inflammatory steroids had been used for site injections before. Even in the 2010s one pro told me he liked to put test prop in his arms before shows. Many human grade test props caused some swelling.
I don't know what year Synthol was first used but maybe Manfred was one of the very first, Flex Wheeler probably the first high profile pro. I think it came from from Germany and was called Synthrol originally?

I met Kevin English many times. He used to date some girl that lived in my neighborhood. I was a late teenager/early 20s and just remember him being huge (in my young eyes)!!

Its an IG video, so I can't post the clip. But Ill see if I can grab a screen shot. He definitely has something going on that doesn't look right. In fact it looks like the beginning stages of palumboism- which wasn't around until 2005.

Actually you're right the medial delts look sus AF.
Maybe he shot all his gear in the mid delts. If you do that well that is alot of oil if you're doing grams.
but yeah.. 1996
In 1996 Chris Clark invented the first seo (site enhancing oil) and named it ‘synthol‘. A quick phone call from brystol-Meyers, who hold the trademark rights on the ‘synthol‘ name, forced Chris Clark to change the name of his product to PumpNPose. However, the name of synthol was stuck with the bodybuilders.

Kind of what I thought too. Also when he hits his first couple of poses, his pecs look a little weird too.
Funny, for his age, he has roughly the same size and shape as he did in his prime, yet looks nothing like his prime.
I remember walking into a GNC in the 90's that was right next door to my gym. Id buy the ABF pre-workout drinks and those were pure crack. The GNC was selling all kinds of prohormones, A bomb among others etc (clones is what the sales guy told me) .... Then I came across a bottle of Pump and Pose and was like 'wtf is this shit?' Posing oil?' Then the sales clerk struggling to explain exactly how it was intended to be used.

He has all of the dwarves weaknesses (massive head to body ratio) and none of their usual strengths (calves/cock to body ratio)

No,me and the kid I worked out with followed them from a distance for a bit...........it was surreal seeing them in person in a mall (Baystate West) of all places......they were freaking huge!!
NO HOMO :D
-
He wants to compete and win both open and 212 Olympia
and even if he doesnt win being in the money and so on top makes him somewhat the face of modern bodybuiding
I'm sorry but I think he looks hideous
WoooooSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH

People love to cheer for bald midgets with small cocks and high calves, there is just no threat in them, people find it a wholesome therapeutic experience to lift people up who have no hopes of outshining them
