Paul De mayo having the best triceps?
Levrone's tris made Pauls look like toothpicks, not as seperated but totally blows him out the water in terms of size.

Sorry but Franco never had a better back than RR. He just had better lats and that was due to lower insertions. Back is not just lats. Robinson had a better back overall.
