The Magic of Symmetry - Steve Davis
Foreword
by Harvey Keith
We have called this particular thesis The Magic of Symmetry for a very specific reason. Aesthetically, the symmetrical physique is incomparable. When one of the few bodybuilders of our era who possess this elusive quality, steps on the stage, the audience seems to be held spellbound! It has an almost magical or hypnotic effect on even the untrained eye of a non-bodybuilder or female fan. It is this charisma that can allow a smaller yet more symmetrical physique competitor to beat men far heavier or larger than himself. Steve Davis has proven this time and again in competition.
We believe that it is the various specific qualities that, in total, we have come to call symmetry that will determine the New Breed
of physique champion. He will be a man unconcerned with freaky body parts or size for the sake of mere size. His will be the thickly muscled yet pleasing body of the 21st Century. At one time, the word symmetry meant an evenly developed physique all around. This concept gained popularity at the turn of the century with the immense fame of the father of modern bodybuilding,
Eugen Sandow. For decades, the authorities
in our sport believed a symmetrical physique had to have neck, calf and arm measurements that were exactly equal. Certainly by today's bodybuilding criteria this would be impossible. Then, one must ask himself what are the magical qualities that comprise the physique of the New Breed of champion?
Symmetry has come to mean something quite different than in Sandow's day. First, the taper or differential between the shoulder width and hip-waist area is of paramount importance. The degree of muscularity and definition has also become a part of the quality we now call symmetry. The shape of each of the various muscle groups and their proportion to each other has become relevant. Vascularity has become an intrinsic factor in the new concept of symmetry. Even skin tone is important. The total sum of all these aforementioned, difficult to attain, attributes is what comprises the magic of symmetry. If a bodybuilder has truly captured these elusive qualities he will generate an amazing amount of charisma whether he steps upon the posing dais or on to the
