If we're talking condition, detail and Xmas trees and not just mass, then one of the first guys I tried to emulate (oh brother) was Mr Winstrol himself...

Jean-Pierre Fux is up there for sure.

Jay Cutler was a poor man's Michael Francois

I kept telling you all years ago that Francois could have won an O.

Francois was a legitimate threat. Far more complete than Cutler ever was.

Could of been a MR O Winner.

Damn, that's quite the Christmas tree on Berry.

The best version of Cutler couldn't shine Mike Francois's shoes.

Did Francois even lift?

Andreas died a year later. Francois nearly died 3 years later.

Proof that the level on conditioning displayed in that era was too much for the human body to handle.

Last I checked he was a personal trainer in Westerville, Ohio.

It is well known that Francois nearly died just prior to the 1998 Arnold Classic.

Not sure if Samir is classified as "white" ..but some crazy backs here..

Ronnie Rep · « **Reply #43 on:** November 08, 2016, 10:51:16 AM »

Gotta mention Mike Quinn.

Francois could've used better posing. had he posed better, his placing would've improved much more.

Arnold won 7 sandows. Years later Haney nearly won 9 sandows.

GoneAway · « **Reply #46 on:** November 08, 2016, 11:03:10 PM »

I've long judged a good back in a back double bi as largely, if not equally, based on good thick lats.

Dorian's lats were largely overpowered by his immense traps. In my opinion, someone like Phil Heath, for as much hate as he gets by most people here, has one of the all-time best backs. Not a white man, of course... so a bit off topic.

As far as this thread goes... hmm, Jay did bring his back up alot over the years to rival Ronnie. I'd probably go with Jean-Pierre Fux as well.
