He doesn't have the muscle maturity/density of the other guys we're talking about but there's no doubt he can be on par and better than the best back in bodybuliding. He's also ridiculously wide by the looks of it.

Looks great next to other big men like Quincy Taylor

His BDB lets him down. Awesome back otherwise!

His back is f'n ridiculous, plain and simple. Incredible width! His relaxed is the best, the muscles just hang down. Hope he can bring up his legs (especially quads) with the injuries. If anyone can help him, its Milos.

In that case the answer's no, he doesn't have the best back now. I would say Jay's is still a tad better.

perhaps ifyou measure the distance between the peek of each lat Jay has the advantage... but in every oher catagory that matters Joel houses jay....as far as there backs are concerned... jay might be as thick but thickness means nothing without seperation, jay has horrible back seperation, joels is near flawless

Joel has a great back. Possibly the best back now. Here are some pics of Ronnie's back

Don't leave out Orville Burke as having one of the best backs.

MAybe - but the pics I saw were all in a row (different shots of the same guy). I don't think ernie ever had a back to brag about...

Ernie had a pretty decent back with high lats, the calves give it away it has to Ernie in that pic.

I admit - I think that last one of mine is ET. Good call.

Very hard to say. Noone ever heard of Stubbs a couple of years ago. So, I am sure there are other guys out there with amazing backs, too. Without the total package, he/they will never win the big shows. Thus, we may never know of them.

E.T's Tris Are fucking HUGE! From the back. As for his back I like that one too. Dude is what like 6,4? His whole body jumpes out but is ugly.

As for Stubbs. FUCKING WOW!

The Squadfather · « **Reply #42 on:** December 03, 2006, 12:57:40 PM »

too bad his legs are horrible, like a couple of pencils.

Exactly. Too bad he's 6'3". BB world doesn't like giants. For some reason their upper body so far up in the air makes comparaison difficult.

No way he can fill that frame either. Quick calculation he would have to be 320 to be complete à la Ronnie.

best back right now...yeah, probably. Ronnie ain't what he used to be. I like how Jay's improved his in the last few years but Joel's back is pretty unreal. Shame his legs are all f'd up.

Yes the guy is just huge!

Joel Stubbs was at the NPC 2006 Excalibur Bodybuilding and Figure Championship yesterday in Culver City CA. I posted some photos this morning on my blog at BodyBuilding.com...
