250 Pounds vs. 280 Pounds Nasser's Back.

[Sherief Shalaby]

Good comparison, Sherief, as usual. Apart from the lower trapezius, Nasser's back was way more detailed at a lighter weight, specially his lower back looked much better. He did add more size without losing  his lines for a while but as his weakness was his back, he lost the opportunity to win the O' by gaining weight IMHO.

Thx a lot.. I am not sure if what I am saying now is right or not but if for example we compare Nasser's back case with Ronnie's abs case I belive Ronnie's abs too looked much better at his lighter weights while the rest of him looked much better at his heavy weight..

i guess it changes cheek bones, hair color, muscle attachments and everything else...

Look at the muscles in the left hamstring

Hopefully it will become clear then.

jeez

I beg to differ actually. To me, Ronnie was at his best in '98 condition wise with unbelievable separation. Of course, he was more "impressive" in '99 and hit his apex at the 2001 AC somehow but already he was too big to repeat the perfect '98 balance between size, shape, conditioning and separation. It's almost ipossible to achieve that balance and the heavier you get the more unlikely it gets.
