Flex Magazine: 20 Best Backs of All Time-- a bone to pick
« on: February 18, 2008, 02:59:23 PM »
Really like features like this. And I know the rankings are capricious. That said...

Melvin Anthony in 19th? Melvin on the list at all? Why?

Flex Wheeler only in 13th? Come on, one of the best back double biceps EVER should have him in the top 10. True his lat spread left something to be deisred, but...13th? Also, based on the back double, Shawn Ray should have been up there in the top 10 too.

Jean-Pierre Fux in 7th? Why is he even on the list?

Ditto Jay Cutler. Okay, maybe he's wide enough, but the guy lacks detail in his back double biceps.

And Joel Stubbs in third?! Great back, but third of all time. I call bullshit.

My top ten best backs of all time...
1. Coleman 2. Yates 3. Haney 4. Benaziza 5. Francois 6. Wheeler 7. Columbo 8. Bannout 9. Pearson 10. Ray

Your Hero Disagrees with you and so did Team Flex in 1999  ;)

Ronnie Coleman : DESCRIBE DORIAN YATES: A close friend. Dorian is very intelligent, a great Mr. Olympia. He had the best side-chest pose and the thickest freakiest back I have ever seen.

not if flex is on it.

Flex had a shitty lat rear spread, so did shawn.

but they both had very good rear double bi shots because of symmetry and detail.

nowhere does Ronnie say Dorian has the best back of all-time.

Shut the fuck up you troll NO he just says its the thickest & freakiest he ever seen and thats speaks volumes considering he has among the best backs ever and Team Flex all voted Yates the best back in 1999 anymore questions?

I agree with you on Shawn, but Joel stubbs? Are you kidding me, have you even seen this mans back, If he had slightly bigger arms he would easily give Ronnie a run for first. Freakiest back ever.

You care and if Ronnie said he had a better back than Dorian you would be posting that every 10 seconds you care because your hero has bowed down to Yates superiority on more than once occasion for a reason

here is visual evidence that that confirms what Ronnie & Team Flex say among others

Joel belongs on the list. Flex's lat spread hurts him big time and he doesn't deserve to be in the top 10.  Cutler no way.  He's got width only. I have no clue why anyone would think he has one of the best backs in bodybuilding today let alone all time.

Cue all the nutt-hugging trolls hey jackass what part of Team Flex already said Yates was number 1 in 1999 did you miss? there was NO list there was Yates and thats it , what makes this list right and that one wrong? answer the question and lets not forget what Ronnie said  ;)

so heed your own advice and accept it and shut up lol

Ronnie Coleman : DESCRIBE DORIAN YATES: A close friend. Dorian is very intelligent, a great Mr. Olympia. He had the best side-chest pose and the thickest freakiest back I have ever seen.


Samir Bannout who had one of the best backs mind you on Cutler 2001

Jay Cutler blows the other bodybuilders away with the crisp detail of his muscularity from top to bottom. He has superior calves, hamstrings and glutes. His back is detailed and big, but it does not match up well against Ronnie, who has the second-best back in the history of bodybuilding behind the great Dorian Yates

Ronnie has the second best back behind the great Dorian Yates



Ellington Darden, Ph.D. " best back - Dorian Yates "


FROM MARKUS RUHL

October 2000, FLEX page 166


"DORIAN YATES HAD THE BEST BACK IN THE HISTORY OF BODYBUILDING.  HIS LAT SPREAD WAS UNBELIEVABLE.  HIS SIZE, MASS, AND CONDITIONING WERE PERFECT,"

Team Flex 1999 : Best Back - Dorian Yates



All of these quotes are POST retirement for Yates , now Flex says Ronnie is number one again what makes them right now but wrong before?
