Have you seen his legs, he is not coming back from that, no matter what, so no it is not. Improve a bit, yes, but not fix, no way, not possible.

What I am saying is that Joel will never be able to put on the muscles on his legs he would have had he not torn anything and that is what I am reffering to as fixed. He can make it better but it will never be the same as before.

His lower quads can be fixed maybe not perfect but def much better if he chose to. Problem is most people don't know this procedure exists.

His back is sick.    Would love to train with that dude for a month and learn his routine.  No way he's doing anything conventional

Title: Re: Joel Stubbs and his first Olympia experience
Post by: wild willie on April 01, 2013, 10:36:02 PM
he should absolutely back off on his upper body.......and focus solely on his legs......most of these dudes talk about getting bigger......they don't need to get bigger...they need to get better......balance and harmony.......and refinement.


my 2 cents.

He blew the tendons in both his knees while playing basketball, landing awkwardly after jumping for the ball.

Insane from the waist up. Better than Coleman and Yates north of the thong line.

If that were the case, Mike Christian would have been Mr. Olympia or WBF champion in the 90s.

Honestly before you spout off about something you don't know anything about do a little bit of research.  Fat contains a ton of stem cells. Coleman actually layers it into the muscle itself. The results speak for themselves.

hm, hold on,so he torn his legs, why would that stop him from winning stuff?

yates had torn off much more important muscles and that didnt matter. ???
Bro he is tall and wide, I mean mega wide, makes Freeman look narrow. That is the perfect combination to make your legs look like toothpicks. His upper body is in the mix with Kai and Phil but his legs throws his physique way off :-\

ah,new ernie taylor, just taller.i see.yeah those legs look underdeveloped for the rest.

he should amputate them and do the disabled mr olympia.

all for the trophy and the glory :D

Dorian and Ronnie can put all their cash in stemcells injecting their torn muscles and battle it out in the grandmasters just to put an end to the hulkster/ND thread  ;D

Three words: Mike Christian Syndrome, no matter how hard such guys train those quads, if the muscle fibers aren't there, aint nuttin' can be done.

These guys had gotten too greedy from the gene pool up top, not enough done bottom.

had his gyno done,but its coming back a bit, i can tell he left some gland tissue in there.


Are you serious ?  He has been voted the best back ever. Ahead of Yates,Haney and Coleman.  In person at 6'3" his entire torso is simply the best developed on any bodybuilder.  Impressive.  He should wear just jeans and enter the O ....

Bandwagon appeal fallacy.  What the masses think isn't true simply by virtue of "majority rules."  Remember there are a lot of really dumb people out there.  A majority of people believe invisible angels are buzzing about our heads for God's sake.

Joel's back is good.  Very good.  I easily reckon it's among the top 10 of all-time.  But to look at a couple of videos where his stick-legged, water-logged ass has a good lat spread and, a'la that dumbass Flex Wheeler, declare it "best ever" is ... hmm.  How to be polite about this?  A hasty generalization, to say the least.

Let's see Joel get into the kind of condition Dorian and Ronnie did, THEN see how his back compares.
