Burke had high lats like Dennis James' but also had some of the widest shoulders ever and thus a sick hip to waist ratio...

Burke virtually destroys Wheeler in that shot.

Really is NO comparison.

Burke > Stubbs

true but i dont think burke is actually wider....

nor is burke wider than dillet

im pretty sure ruhl would measure wider than burke aswell...

burke just looked extremely wide and had long arms for his height, his lats and traps were fukn nuts .... his lats from the front were cartoon like.....

im not sayin burke just looked wide, he was one of the widest but dillet is defo the alltime widest mofo available.

Post by: LurkerNoMore on August 26, 2008, 07:22:59 AM
Stubbs only appears as wide because his puny little legs contribute to the illusion of "wing width".

Dillet was probably wider in overall inches but not in lat to waist ratio.  Paul has a big frame that contributes to his overall measurements.  Despite looking unbeatable from the front, his still would lose the lat spread to Burke.

Ruhl, again may measure inch wise, but not lat to waist ratio.  Going by this, one could argue Cutler is wider as well.

Very True, Burke had high lats, and that's about it. Big dude, who said he all he used to do as kid was pull-ups and soccer.

Strydoms Back was always his weakest bodypart. This photo must be from the Mr. O 1988 in LA (which i saw live).

This was Strydoms lowest Contest weight in a proff. show, but he was hard as nails, and ripped all over.

I saw this show too.  True, Gary was totally ripped, but sacraficed a ton of muscle in order to get that way.  I remember a few people were saying that Gary's was the size of a regional show competitor. 

Even when he was at the top of his game (in the WBF), his back did not impress.

Wasn't Burke's health problems due to a botched surgery done on his tricep?

thanks "Moose" ,  what did Orville win.  Yes, he is in a bad way now, but bodybuilders come and go, dont they?  We can name the bodybuilder from a pose that is theirs and theirs alone.  Does anyone know where Orville is and his health?
Its a fine line champ or hospital. Keep lifting...

I believe that was the year he experimented with a high fat, low carb diet.
