Title: Worst Back in Pro BBing history?
Post by: 240 is Back on March 25, 2006, 09:38:33 AM
With all the Dorian/ROnnie threads, I was curious who the worst pro back of all time was?

I'm not saying Jocelyn Pelletier because that would just be going for the easy laugh!

well if you wanna talk about 'successful' pros rather than no names, nasser is the winner, but then again how can you have the worst back if you don't even have one ???

thsi is impossible to answer because a pro with the worst back in history wouldn't be well known unless you want to count pelletier

as far as big names, nasser

Nasser at his best had a huge back. He just didn't have the detail of yates, wheeler, ray etc. Worst back ever is crazy. His back was huge. There a reclips of him posing on you tube, huge back, just not detailed. Later in his career it got worse but at his peak he had no where near the worst back considering his mass and huge lats when hitting front double biceps.
Dilet's was poor but only because the rest of him was top notch.
Aaron Madron had a poorly developed back for his size.

i bnelieve a lot of ya think dillet cant pose for shit. cos i didnt know better i agreed with that assertion tho sed to a guy in gym.

he made a great explanation saying that dillet was ashmatic plus wen ur so dieted down ur half dead and lethargic neways. thes 2 coupled kinda explained y he cudnt hold a pose for longer than a few seconds without being puffed outta breath. maybe this is a load of crap but just thot id thro it in

I think it might be easier to name the most successfull pros who had the worst back.

That would include the following:

Nasser
Strydom
Dillett
Yates 8).

i dont think Nasserīs back was the worst...At minimum his back was wide as f*ck, and i think that should count a lot (after all some people acuse guys like Wheeler and Levrone of not having wide backs)...And he had very good lats
 And he had a good back in some years, when his condition was spot on...not among the best, but a good back

a picture from other thread....
Nasser has bigger delts than the mighty dorian, and a wider back....(and im not going to touch the 'arms' thing...)
But for a back comparison, he is doing well, considering he(nasser) has one of the best backs of all time on his side(dorian)...

dillet looked like he wouldn't do a barbell row if you paid him. nasser's back was weak, but it wasn't glaringly horrible. paul's shoulders would literally put a shadow over his back looking it wasn't there at all.

Ive got one of the BFTO where Dillet is working back with Glass and the weight he's using is soooooo light it's almost funny.  I know it's right before a contest but c'mon man.  I played it for a guy I know that worked out and he was laughing at Dillet...wasted potential.
Title: Re: Worst Back in Pro BBing history?
Post by: Petrucci on April 04, 2006, 12:34:33 PM
Synthol

i dont really think Nasser used synthol in this time...He wasnt acused of using synthol until some years later (or a lot of years later...)
In fact, his best years where before the synthol era
Title: Re: Worst Back in Pro BBing history?
Post by: GMCtrk on April 04, 2006, 12:42:03 PM
based on some footage i've seen, I would guess wheeler was using synthol back in '95. I have no doubt in my mind tha Nasser was using synthol in '97.

Only fags notice things like hamstrings.

 It is an important muscle group and can look very impressive when well developed. If their size is not balanced with quad size, a physique will have a deficiency.

I have a mag, where the Ben Weider is showing Dillett has to pose back in an ad, and within that add there is  a letter from Paul thank Ben for his expertise, and blah, blah. He has made great strides, and all

On the BFTO 97, where Paul is pumping up his arms, he drawfs J.P. Fux, and Paul is just doing light weight.

In BFTO 98, Paul's legs were sick,  and that comment he made about, "having flat biceps", damn he really did have 24 inch arms, and was not lying!!

Paul did freaking 4plates per side on that shoulder machine with ease I might add in '98 and then proceeded to bust out his "flat biceps"

His legs were rediculous too.

Does anyone know why he pulled out of the 98 olympia?

Dillet pulled out because he cramped - he looked awesome as hell in the BFTO 1996 and 1998 - too bad he couldnt put it together. If you look at the score card for the 98 olympia, in the rounds he did compete in he wasnt vying for the title.

As for worst back (of a real pro - not Pelletier), it's been said a couple times already but it goes to Mike "Thumb Breaker" Matarazzo - just aweful! It's sad too becuase he turned pro in 91 and competed in the Olympia until 2001 or so. You'd think he could get it together by then . . . he's still cool tho

But I think he did mention he was craving cookies like mad, so maybe that was it :o

Dillet in the 98 BFTO is probably one of the most awsome sights ever recorded of a bodybuilder..I wasn't saying he had a bad physique earlier just that he was training so light it's almost funny.

Oatmeal Cookies

He f up his prep I forgot what happened, but remember he's one of Chad's Lads, so it might not be all his fault. He had to carried out by the NY FD ( I believe). He legs were unbelievable, and he doesn't do SQUATS  at all.

Thing is He is the only Big Dude who could have pulled off posing to "slow jam" music, like he did at the 1993 O, when he posed to Luther Vandross' "Superstar", But he was shaking like a puppy with rickets.
