There's the weak spot. Bodybuilding is not only about size and conditioning. It's also (or it should be) about lines, proportions, details, density and muscle maturity. Even if Ramy improves his conditioning (which I doubt), he's still lagging in other departments. Maybe you younger guys don't see it, but you can't judge a BB contest from a video or pics. You have to be there, where the judges are. You have to have seen Yates on stage in his prime to know what I am talking about. Bodybuilding is illusion, it's what you bring on stage on a certain moment in time. But creating that illusion is complicated and has many different aspects. It's not just putting on size and getting your conditioning right. If it were that simple, we would see more exceptional physiques.
The only ones this old fart is impressed by today, are Kai and good old Dexter. No offence for Jay who in my eyes is a great bodybuilder and got the best out of his genetics.
But Ramy? We'll see...
Overall, his package has symmetry, he has detail relitive to the mass monsters, his conditioning is very good, not Heath's but still shows feathers in the glutes, striations in the front delt and so on. He is very dense, not mature but very dense, his muscles do not look baloonish with the exception of his delts and his gut is tiny which makes him symmetrical
His size to top all these qualities off makes him better then everyone else. Size alone without the guts is 1 in a million and he has that and then some.`
I have seen Yates in person and funny you say this cause the last 4 pros I talked too that were in New York said the exact same thing about Ramy, ''man you had to see this guy in real life'', '' makes Kai look small'' etc etc, one said he looks like a cartoon character and one pro said he did not even know it was possible to be that fucken big on wat he considered a tiny bone structure.
