I don't know. Dorian and Ronnie are neck and neck for width, and detail. 1993 Flex is right up there in terms of detail, but he lacked width due to being narrow.

Yes that generally tends to be the reason for lacking width ;D

Post by: snx on January 25, 2013, 08:40:45 AM: I'm not sure if this is a top 20 back of all time, but it was definitely great and certainly better than Newman or Titus or Prince...guys he was competing against at the NPC level. I always thought he should have done better as a pro. True freak, but good aesthetics too.
Title: Re: Top 20 Best Back development of all time.
Post by: snx on January 25, 2013, 08:44:36 AM: Also, Dente had a great back in the amateur ranks too (seems like a lot of guys did in those days...Francois, Cormier, Wheeler, Hernon, Dente, etc...).

Hard to fathom why they never gave this guy a pro card. That's how loaded the field was. I remember he was robbed by John Simmons at the North Americans one year, where Dente should have won I thought.

It's amazing how stacked the NPC ranks were in the 90s. Greatest era ever for the NPC. Dente never got a pro card, but in that shape he's in in this video, he would have crushed this year's field at the Nationals or USAs.

I agree I wouldn't call Flex narrow, he just wasn't as wide as Ronnie or Dorian!
