So we talked about Derek Lunsfords "lat lumps" but wtf is going on ?

[specter]

So Derek got alot of flak for these "lat lumps" people where saying was oil etc... so lets look at Andrew Jackeds lats now... Bruh....

Synthol "and" gyno
It is what it is.

 

[Splitzz]

Monkey see monkey do

 

[TrippplePPP]

Maybe he and Derek have the same lat pullover machine in their gyms. You know, the one that targets the anterior lat lump. And with Big Rami getting penalized for back gap it only makes sense lat lumps would get you bonus points.

 

[Fleezy]

the fact that people speculated it they were swollen lymph nodes was wild..


i think it was on Fouad's podcast... not a lot of brain power on that show - so i guess it's to be expected.

The biggest change / improvement in his lat spread comparison in that video, is how he's holding his elbows, which makes a huge difference in how anyone displays that pose.
(this is something I notice a ton in comparisons online, they never replicate the pose exactly, so the comparison is moot).
Whatever the "lump" is, it doesn't seem to adding to lat width (side to side, the silhouette) but more lat "depth" (front to back), which doesn't really mean anything.

I have given up on trying to figure out what these guys are doing. Obviously they are doing something as the physiques are different now and in a way we have not seen in the past. A lot of people chalk it up to the HD modern cameras but I don’t buy that

 

[mexbeast]

I really like Andrew, but in my opinion he is ruining his physique with all the freaking SEO

So it cant be "failed" shots of what ever seo thing they are using him and Derek.. just arm position wich gives truly big lumps.. yeah not buying that..

I don't know what's causing the lumps. I'm not saying that elbow positioning is causing those.
The lumps are not making their lats look wider or better in any pose, that I can tell.

ah ok gotcha, no i dont really see the point in the lats, but again i think its somekind of failed "seo" attempt.

The IFBB should make MRIs or Dexa scans a requirement to hold your card.

Problem solved, assuming they pick up on the oil deposits.

I dont believe thats even made anymore for like the last 15+ years, i know people tried to get it but never could get it. Now thats not saying someone in China or UAE hasent made it since.

 

[subzero18]

Its from the shots. What type? only can guess. They should have made a stand and not given him the win.

Tonio had some weird looking lats at this last NY Pro

It looked like that at the Olympia last year too.
Might be an injury of some sort

The IFBB already institutes a rigorous testing known as "judging".
If they like what they see, they reward it.
If they don't like it, they don't reward it.

wild... that was all it took to tear it?


i wonder if he has a lot of scar tissue from injections in that area - weakening the structural integrity
