Atwood has the widest ever with Jay a close second but Dorian's blows Jays away in terms of overall muscle...And Ronnies also in terms of overall muscle blows jays away and IMOP beats Dorian a bit(of course not 2006 Ronnie)

This back is not in the top 20? Stop being an idiot. Def not better than doz or an old school Coleman. Most def better than most all the other people you listed. Jay was 270. Mr o's that weighed 180 are automatically out of the list. Samir was good but it aint hard to be detailed at 190 lbs.

and why should there be a weight limit before being considered having a great back? that is stupid. Samir, Ronnie, Yates, Haney and even Flex and Shawn all had better backs than Jay in their prime.

My point is this. Having extreme detail is not hard to do when you are 200 lbs. Samir flex and sean all had amazing backs. But the detail they showed was more due to the fact they where in BB terms "small". The "smaller" guys are always on the ones with the extreme detail. BB is not all about size. But to say this level of thickness and detail at 270 lbs @ 5'9 is not one of the best backs ever is not unbaised. It is cutler hating. Alot of jelous Ronnie fans on here. Cutler was the better man that night at the O and he just beat Ron again at the grand prix.

Post by: NeoSeminole on October 06, 2006, 02:10:42 PM
Even if we take weight into consideration, Jay's lack of separations in his back and folds of skin on his lower back prevent him from being on the list of greatest backs of all-time.

if you were referring to my comment, sorry i was only willing to consider bodybuilders who are in the upper tier of the sport. and please, i hope youre not saying Strydom has one of the best backs ever, if you are then youre just contradicting youself. and i didnt say i was compiling a list of the greatest backs i was using the names to make a point, completely different.

Tell me that post was a joke.  Nasser got smoked in 97 Olympia for the reason that he couldnt get hard in the back department.  Nasser was awful when he turned around.  Alot like Cutler was until this year.

interesting comparison:

Jay's back compared to the REAL greatest back of all time, in almost the same pose (with two different years, 98 and 99):

(http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=99988.0;attach=108138;image)
(http://body.builder.hu/imagebank/pictures/974182578.jpg)
(http://www.bodybuildingpro.com/1999britishgrandprix/41.jpg)

Jay's back is wide, but it lacks good detail and his lower back is soft with rolls of loose skin.

A fantastic back needs more than just width - it needs detail, hardness and symmetry too.

Jays back is not on par with Ronnie's there. But to say jays 2006 back is not in the top 20 greatest backs is laughable. plain hating. He weighs 270 lbs. The sheer size of his back puts him in the running. Couple that with good detail.. Not amazing, good. Massive size. Extreme thickness. That is a very thick back. And good condition ( his lower back is dry he has a cosmetic fault with the skin) and you have one of the best backs ever. Not the greatest one of the best. Flex wheelers back was ultra detailed. It was also extremely narrow. So jay not having extreme detail of guys weighing 70 lbs less than him is a minnor fault. His detail is plenty good. Top 10 ? Maybe not. Top 20? Of course.

It is not hard to be ultra detailed at sub 230 lb bodyweight. Nevermind 188 or 205 ::) You could argue the greats like Samir, Flex and Shawn where undersized. You could combat the detail accusations against Jay with the same principle. Doz and Ronnie had ultra detailed backs at over 250... Flex and co where just to small to compete. it is all relative. The back jay brought was one of the top 20 ever.
Title: Re: Jay Has the Greatest Back of all Time!
Post by: MikeThaMachine on October 06, 2006, 05:48:11 PM

no detail is no detail i dont care how heavy you are. so are you now going to say the heavy competitors dont need to be in the same condition as the sub 230 lbs. bodybuildrs also? thats your reasoning. are you going to say " its easy to be ripped when youre 225 lbs.!, try beng ripped at 270?" youre not making sense. youre giving the big guys to much credit for just being big. its the total package that wins the show. and i believe Dorian was able to be detailed and big so was Ronnie in his prime. im not a Jay hater, im happy he won, he deseved it. but saying he has a great back=youre on crack.

No.... Show me one BB that was more detailed at a higher bodyweight. Prime example Ronnie C. His back in 98 99 was the best back ever. Look at him in 03....

My point was it is alot harder to be detailed and ripped at 270 than 220.

 no Flex is not on the list on detail alone. he is on the list because he had a great combination of both. which is my original point. if you think his back is not in the upper tier then so be it. that still doesnt equate to Jay having a great back.

I do think it is in the upper teir. But one cannot have balence with a narrow back and zero thickness. Ronnie had width thickness and detail. Not flex. His back was narrow hence making my point. You say Jay lacks detail. Well flex lacked size and def thickness.

Jays midsection looked odd at the Olympia.  Ronnie did not look more detailed in 03 than in 99 but mass blew away the field that year.  No one could compete with him on any level.  Asthetics may have lacked but once he walked onstage he blew everyone else off of it.  Thats what counts in bb.  The eyes win competitions not always asthetics.

Jay has a great back. Him and Joel Stubbs now have the top two backs in the pros, but while Jay has incredible size and density he has yet to display it as tight and separated as Doz or Ronnie. He does have quite a few years left to try and make this happen, but he's not number one right now. I do think Vic will eventually have the best back of all time.

No.... Show me one BB that was more detailed at a higher bodyweight. Prime example Ronnie C. His back in 98 99 was the best back ever. Look at him in 03....

My point was it is alot harder to be detailed and ripped at 270 than 220.

03 was pretty stellar . . . this year is the first time his back has been truly sub-par.

yates had incredible separation and detail at a weight similar to Jay's.

do you really want to rank Jay over Samir just b/c jay weighs more?

No.. I wanted to prove Jay was in the top 20 backs ever. I agree my top 5 claim was a bit much. But those claiming that back is not in the top 20 off all time are being unfair IMO. I say this because Jay lacks detail compared to the top backs. But guys like flex lacked thickness and width. So I found it hypocritical to dismiss Jay but accept wheeler.

Samir was one of the greats. His back was crazy detailed and conditioned. But it did lack size and thickness. So to say a guy with a gigantic back.. Very thick.. Good condition (not great) and great detail (not amazing) is not in the top 20 is nuts! Jay lacks the opposite of the others. So it works out to be the same in the end. Jay has them all on width and thickness (minus Ronnie and Doz which are about even).. But they have Jay on detail.. Jay was dry. The skin is a cosmetic fault. That is not water. His condition was good.

I think the problem is that detail goes a long way into making a back look impressive than width.

eg. Flex was narrow but was so detailed it was hard to notice.

Width is good, but if you don't have that road map look, your back will not look really impressive no matter what.

markus is a great example - super wide, lacking detail.

I see your point hulk. I remember looking at the pics of wheeler and thinking his back was amazing. But then when you see him next to Ronnie in 98 or Maybe 99 the width difference and lack of thickness kill wheeler. To be fair Jay is in transition of poses and has not yet flexed like in the shots of ray and wheeler. You can see wheeler straining while flexing. Flex was ultra detailed. His triceps where rediculous. You could see them perfectly in his bicep shots.

I think Jay is in the top 20 backs ever. But what the hell do I know  ;)

samir wasn't as wide as jay . . . w the exception of ruhl and that new guy from england, nobody is as wide as jay.  but samir had a lot of density . . . he was very strong in the back movements and you could tell.

Samir never struck me as a powerful dense looking back. It was great and I could never have a back like that but it did not look thick to me imo.His back detail was unreal.Samir was perfect in 83. Robby r looked thick and dense imo. Just the claim of jay being the widest guy ever with good detail, awesome thickness and good condition give him a claim at the top 20. Ruhl is wide but his back looks atrocious.

In my mind this is perfection when it comes to physiques.

For me its a toss up between Ronnie (at his peak) and Dorian for greatest back ever.  Then Haney and then Samir.  But after all those greats heres the next guy for whoever needs a reminder............... The Dominator!!!!!!

That is the way Coleman's back is suppose to look. It didn't look like that last yr, nor this year. Jay's back this year would never match this back. Damn, Jay beat a subpar Ronnie. I beat Shawn Ray is kicking himself, because he never beat a subpar Dorian.

His back looks fantastic there. But IMO not very thick and powerful looking. This is in relative terms obv. His back in incredable compared to the average pro bb.

Jay did bear a sub-par Ronnie and Shawn couldn't beat a sub-par Dorian because he was 60 pounds lighter! Jay was 274lbs at the O and Ronnie was close to 300 compensating for the height difference the edge in size was negated .

Zoom the pic in and see for yourself Jay's back is pathetic and the legs from the rear also pathetic the result of pussy training. Ronnie is the king. The jay's back my be wide but its from its blocky stocky body structure.

yes, I would say that beating a former champion (that dominated you)  by sticking around until he was 43 years of age is very lucky.

Jay could never ever come close to beating ronnie when he was

1. in shape
2. not old (for a pro)
3. not injured.

If I were Jay, the victory would be bitter sweet:

everyone kwows that Jay didn't beat Ronnie.

Father Time beat Ronnie.

Jay Hasnt lost a major contest to anyone, that wasnt named Ronnie, in over 5 years.

Jay isnt depending on "luck"

He is getting bigger and better each year. "Luck" has nothing to do with it.

Jay may not need to be  lucky in order to beat Gunter, Rhul and Gastavo, but he certainly needed luck to beat Ronnie Coleman.

When Ronnie is ON and uninjured, Jay is not close.  Come on Royalty, you should know that.

(http://www.bigroncoleman.com/media/GrandPrix2/GP03B.jpg)
eg. for all this talk of how much Jay's back got wider, he is damn lucky that this didn't step onstage beside him! It would put things into persective very quickly. Remember, this shot is a mere 2 years old.
