it's called X frame you retard. lower half has to equal the upper half. there's this thing called balance, but you think you know better than the judges. another wanna-be-pro's blah blah. kys now!

It's not about hating big legs it's about hating legs that are so big that they mog your own upper body. Also most people don't have proportionally big calves so chances are you are self-mogging your calves as well.

Bodybuilding is a gay sport for impotent faggots. It's quite literally a "beauty" peagant for "men".
They do everything to appease some deranged fatfuck Jewish judges that mock the entire show as basically a human zoo.

It's not the quads, it's the abductors. Notice how arnold legs have a straight cut look to them while bumstead flare inside
Apparently the wide stance focus on the negative smith machine squat grows that shit like crazy, or maybe it's just very sensitive to steroids or they're targeting it twice a week for some stupid reason, or all of these

Not even quads but adductors. Arms, chest? Nah, everybody wants to see the adductors, that's classic! Plus a genetically small waist and suspiciously wide lats.

It's a weight limited category, you can't be big all over. Going by the name people would expect to see physiques like the Golden Era, not second rate modern bodybuilders.

In general I think the judges put way too much emphasis on legs in modern bodybuilding, like you don't even need good arms anymore to win

Can we have a real discussion as to why all the judges seem to be into body modification/destruction/sadism fetishes? I know Joe weider himself was a homo bara pectiddy degenerate and categories have gone bananas in the past decade, esp after COVID; but my fren went to her first show and looked good but the judges trashed her in feedback and told her she needed to bulk up her upper-body, we were looking at some other figure ladies in her weight class and besides the var-transexualization they had all these nasty ice-cream cone builds.
Someone has got to stop this the sport is a parade of the mentally ill leading the mentally ill and insecure and turned something once great into nothing more than a sham and instagram likes/supplement shilling op.

We're so deep down in the roid spiral that we've completely disconnected from aesthetics and guys are getting so big on superdrol/tren/oil that they're ending up looking laughably smaller and stockier and distorted than a comparative natural bodybuilder would look at the same height.

Worst looking Mr Olympia ever. Not only is the stance absolutely retarded, but the physique is dogshit and full of oil.
Id even take 1981 gyno columbu over this stupid frog. Or even deflated 1980 Arnie or torn bicep yates

If anything, his legs are undersized. You can get away with bad arms if your back is good but if your back is exceptionally good you need big legs with a nice sweep to balance the physique. So when Derek shows up with downsized legs he gets punished.

>>77053229
Holy shit he has an absurd external hip rotation, just like nick sharter. Thank god i stopped squatting even though i always squatted with straight feet and have perfect gait, all the top bodybuilders and squatters seem to have absurd pelvic tilt and hip/ankle outside rotation

I guess proportion doesn't matter at all whatsoever?
His legs and lats are so cartoonishly out of proportion with the rest of his body it's insane.
Also his condition looks bad but maybe it's a bad photo with bad lighting and before he's fully flexing.

>>77053229
That physique is a disgrace. No proportion like the other anon said. Looks like trash, he should not have even been top 10. Remember when you'd look at bodybuilders and think, dang I wish I could look like that? Why don't we give fucking Jason Genova a spot on the stage while we're at it?
Looks soft too, especially in the arms. Dorian Yates said the guys today show up on stage looking like they're 6 weeks out and I 100% agree

I'd have to say that most of the problem is coming from oversized adductors. CBUM has a bicep tear right? Terrible right bicep because of it. There's also the posing problem. Externally rotating the femur turns out the vastus making what would normally be in front of the bodybuilder stick out to the side as Arnold is doing in pic related.
Posing for aesthetics is an art and unfortunately everyone poses today to try to make everything look as big as possible rather than as aesthetic as possible. Arnold comes from the time where aesthetics still mattered. Also they squatted narrower back then to try to keep everything on the quads and off the adductors.
>>
>>77058301
BTW, you don't notice the size of the vastus because it falls below the line of the obliques. Far superior for aesthetics. Aesthetics is about lines and symmetry and you need to present your physique in a way that follows the lines.

>high lats
>fridge frame
>wide waist even with vacuum
>adductors alone that are bigger than his arms
no calves
>oij injection bumps on lats
>5'6" manlet
This is what passes for a Mr. Olympia this days. What an embarrassment.

>>77058372
Lol he has some of the best lats and overall backs of the current era and one of the smallest waists, and the best X-frame, so literally the opposite of almost all your points. And you have to consider that legs have to look good from the back, too. I don't like his physique, personally, but he's sillhouette is good from the front and his shots are even better from the back.

I find the issue is more with his posing than physique. That crab stance he does on front double biceps looks absolutely fucking retarded.
He'd automatically look 10x better with a more classic stance like pic related, note the rotation of the legs and way the feet are pointed, if I'm explaining it in a way that makes sense.
His conditioning is definitely off too, he looks a few weeks out just as Yates said. But otherwise the physique is fine, just bad posing mainly. Tan is a bit much too.
