Allthough dexter has bigger delts and chest, Shawn smokes him in muscle shape and seperation and everything else.

DragonsBreath · « **Reply #52 on:** August 31, 2006, 05:48:59 PM »

So, we're basically smokin' the same thing?!!

BTW, Shawn doesn't blow Dexter away. He is better, but not by much. Go back and look at Dexter's photos. THAT doesn't just get blown away!

Money Bags Ray is built like a little Cormier (sorry Ray

) He is just perfect up, down, left to right

I agree. But he doesn't blow Dexter away! Dexter would hold his own against Shawn ANYDAY!

Now, if you twisted my arm for a final choice, I'd prefer Shawn's physique over Dexter's.

Broken down bodypart-by-bodypart:

Arms: Dexter

Chest: Dexter

Shoulders: Dexter

Lats: Shawn

Back: Shawn

Abs: *Tie

Quads: Shawn (due to better shape & separation)

Hams: Shawn

Calves: No contest.....Shawn

Glutes: *Tie

Anyone disagree?

Sorry but bodybuilding doesn't work this way. You can't just break it down by bodypart and then try to add up who has more better bodyparts. You have to look at the whole body, how it flows together. If you do this, you could say Art Atwood has a better chest, arms, back, legs, etc. than all these guys when you view those bodyparts by themselves, but he definately is not a better bodybuilder. In my opinion, Shawn is the most complete bodybuilder of all time. It would be Flex if he had better calves.

Nice comparisons and interesting feedback.
Dexter caugh then end of my era and the criteria is a bit different.
Hat's off to him for handling his business, i can appreciate the feedback and the critque.
My strength is in my genetics.
When I started I started by winning at 17, note the attached picture.
I was driven by improving OVERALL.
Dexter on the other hand was not only short but skinny.
He had to over come a few more things and wasn't as genetically balanced I was to start.
That being said, he represents alot of where I left off and these comparison is flattering considering he is and has been a top 3 guy the last few years while comiong into his own.
Respect.

Ray has the better pedigree, as he mentions in his latest post. Dex can't hang with that.

Ray was the only guy who could give up 45 lbs or more and still outclass his competition. That doesn't exist anymore.

alexxx · « **Reply #62 on:** August 31, 2006, 07:52:45 PM »

LMAO at now!

Seriously Shawn your physique was awesome! I really hope you stay in shape. Why don't you post your natural pics for those of us who would like some motivation in staying natural.

I have this article of yours with the ab training and your abs are looking crazy! Did you train them year round?

theres solo shots are great and all, especially if i wanted to compare ray to a field of wheat. someone post one of dex next to ray. not fair considering the main point of the thread was dexters BEST vs ray's best.....ray's has already happpened, but we might have yet to see dex's best

overall i like dexters phsyique better, more of an X frame

DragonsBreath · « **Reply #65 on:** August 31, 2006, 09:47:29 PM »

Dexter in a relaxed pose looks a bit odd, but still amazing!!

tweeter · « **Reply #66 on:** August 31, 2006, 10:07:12 PM »

Dex's calves actually look decent from the front.

Jr. Yates · « **Reply #67 on:** August 31, 2006, 10:28:07 PM »

both are awesome and share lots of the same characteristics but shawn takes it between the 2.

JaggyShortBuff · « **Reply #68 on:** August 31, 2006, 10:30:54 PM »

I wish shawn would throw down just one more time on stage....And not some "war of the worlds" bs either Shawn is far superior to that....

I mean they still don't look good, but in that pic above it atleast looks like there is some muscle there.

Damn shawn's picture at 21(when he turned pro) is crazy...King should just take a look at Shawn's wheels when shawn was 21 and tell himself to hang it up....

Now Dex verse Shawn...For me its not comparison...Shawn is totally complete and Dex isn't....No calves what so ever...Although Ronnies aren't to great either and he is about to make it 10 in a row but whatever..

Not to bring drugs into the discussion but for the hell of it, Dex really has no business being anymore then a light heavy weight...He just doesn't have the frame...Although i know that drugs are a huge part for every pro, when i look at past pictures of DEx as a lightweight and look at him now, its total chemicals to me...Althought im sure Shawn used his share for its part of the game, his body doesn't yell massive hormones...And i would bet my house that if both these guys agreed to go totally clen for 2 years, Dex would look closer to his lightweight days and Shawn would be just slightly smaller and less shaper version of himself...

So after all this BS, Shawn wins easily and he also beats Kevin L

Dex will own him badly.Dex is the best short bodybuilder ever.
He is the only short bodybuilder that can stand next to the big boys and still look good.
When Shawn,Lee and others do that they look like litle kids,sure Im not saying Dex can go toe to toe with Ronnie but he certinly can doesnt look out of place.
