im not arguing with you so don't take it that way but i want u to picture this, the super heavy's walk on stage at nationals all with shredded glutes and then you throw melvin anthony up there with them, would they beat him cause they have shredded glutes??? levrone, dillet, wheeler, cormier, priest all never had deeply shredded glutes, some had some lines some years and others they just had distinct seperation, you think they should all get beat by shredded glute people, you have been around palumbo too long shelby...LOL JK
honestly bro this is bodybuilding! the guy with the best balance of size, shape and symmetry should win.. the three S's, none of those S's stand for striated glutes, or shredded. conditioning will influence size, shape, and symmetry.... sometimes making the 3 S's better and sometimes (when emancipated looking) will hinder the 3 S's. hope that makes sense as im kinda out of it right now...LOL
