06-17-2008, 04:08 PM #3LOL...trust me...most of the judges have no idea who is signed with who, nor would they care.
Ronnie won the Olympia in 98 when he was with Met-Rx...not Weider.
Jay was with ISS when he took second in 01...
Kai Greene was with NOBODY, until this last month.
They judge on what they see...nothing else. Everyone loves a good conspiracy, and a justification as to why THEIR favorite didn't win....

I'm still more inclined to agree with DD (no nut hug). Some people with shorter torsos and WIDE WAISTS are plagued with something they can almost never correct. You can build up the medial delts and get wider, but still.
I'd much rather have a longer body and just continue to fill out the upper body and quad sweep. If the waist is wide and blocky, then you're kind of screwed. There's no question that if your waist is tended to though, you'll look a lot more powerful and heavily muscles with a bit of a shorter torso. It's all comes down to a coin toss really.

I was just gonna say, neither is best for BBers - MEDIUM is always gonna be the most preferred choice and all pros that win Olympias generally don't stand out as either long or short.. just medium.
Personally, I prefer any size as long as you have low inserting lats and a waste that fits with the rest of the body.IG: waldronconstruction

This question has an answer as definitive as this one....
Which is better for bodybuilding....a short bicep or a long bicep?
clearly the answer cannot be quantified by these two variables alone.
As far as yout torso comment is concerned it realy boils down to what the muscles surrounding the torso are doing.
Classic case of Long vs short...was RONNIE vs FLEX WHEELER 1999 Olympia.
