Tweeter, his back looks like one of a competitor from a local show...a 4th or 5th place finisher. It's just that bad.
Regarding glutes, it's not just his GLUTES that are soft, his hamstrings are as well. He was not conditioned well. I'm not sure what your tie to him is but I hate to see people be given things through running their mouth and shaking hands that they didn't deserve through hard work.
