The image currently displayed of Adam Abelels shows zero striation. I vote to remove the current picture and replace it with the picture of Gustavo Badell found on Wikipedia's bodybuilding page; he actually has striations. Or if you prefer, I can give you a picture of my truck, it has exactly the same amount of striations as the current picture.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wingnut32 (talk • contribs).

You forgot to sign your name. I disagree BTW, I see numerous striations on the current person pictured. No need to change images. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 09:22, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Where exactly are these striations on the bodybuilder? I can't see any, and would like to see wingnut's suggestion. Robinh 11:16, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Striations are the tiny grooves of muscle across major muscle groups characteristic of a well-developed body. The current image, the bodybuilder has striations on his arms, legs, abdomen and inner chest. Look at the legs for instance, the thighs, you can see the grooves in the muscles.

I gotta agree with Wingnut here, the Badell picture does have much more visible striations across the chest and bicep and therefore seems like the better choice. WLU 18:01, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, You can replace them if you want. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 05:56, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tell me what you think of the new one. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 06:16, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hum. The replacement picture is better, but I think there is a case to be made for the Badell picture - though the current picture shows excellent development, the striations on Badell's pecs are extremely prominent, with an excellent depiction of the regular, parallel grooves, whereas with the current picture it's harder to tell striation from interdigitation with the spine. Though it's definitely there in the lower lat. No matter what, I'm going to tweak the caption to emphasize the striations. I one solution is the Badell picture as the 'main pic', but a gallery of other pics demonstrating striations of other muscle groups. WLU 14:23, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We don't need more than 1 image. We also don't need to turn it into a bodybuilder gallery. Pick one, If you want to use the Badell image then I won't argue it. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 18:39, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair 'nuff. My preference is definitely for the Badell image currently up. WLU 18:40, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
