How are bodybuilders judged?

What do you look for to decide if someone is a champ?
Condition,size,simmetry,proportion...

Now check this video, the first three guys..How do you decide who wins?

Politics haha kiddin...

Spoke to an IFBB Judge he says the 4 S's

Size
Shape

Striations

Im guessing those points there decide the winner. But in ur vid very hard to decide i guess.

in that video i would say-
1st-Kevin
2nd-Sami
3rd-Dont know the other guy
