Flex Magazine Stupid List of the best 20 Backs ever!!
« on: April 07, 2009, 01:39:06 AM »
20 Albert Beckles
19 Melvin Anthony
18 Thierry Pastel
17 Tony Pearson
16 Sergio Oliva
15 Orville Burke
14 Art Atwood
13 Flex Wheeler
12 Robby Robinson
11 Mohamed Benaziza
10 Victor Martinez
9 Michael Francois
8 Samir Bannout
7 Jean-Pierre Fux
6 Jay Cutler
5 Franco Columbu
4 Lee Haney
3 Joel Stubbs
2 Dorian Yates
1 Ronnie Coleman

dorian should have been no. 1,.. his back was the best ever and because of this the rest of him (if we exclude his great calves)always looked weaker than its reality..

ronnie's back can't be the best ever because it was never as hard as rock.. it should have been 2nd..

joel's back is great but not better than haney's or bannout's!!.. of course he didn't deserve to come in 3rd..

jay cutler should not have been in this list!!.. very soft in the rear lat spread pose and not greatly detailed in the rear db..

also why are guys like thierry pastel, oliva, &, martinezin this list!!.. they had good backs but there were a lot of guys with much better backs who were not mentioned.. aron baker for example had a better back than these guys..

fux too should not have been here.. his back was great only in the rear lat spread..

benazia and bannout should have come after dorian, ronnie, &, haney.. anyway they are arabs so no wonder ;)

flex wheeler too should have come in the top 10..

11 Mohamed Benaziza, this guy should have the number 1 back, he has more muscle than everyone and it is so detailed.

Sherief, have you got the FLEX magazine that had the Nasser & JP Fux B&W pictorial circa 1996? Those pics were mind blowing and Fux was bigger than Nasser in them cause he's taller and was a bit heavier around then. If you do, are you able to scan and post them? You know the photoshoot I'm talking about?

Cool thanks. I don't think they have been posted on the net, although I haven't really looked. And I think Fux looked great back then - he could have been Mr Olympia and taken things up a notch just like Dorian did in 93. But he got too big too fast after winning the World Amateur championships around 94 and the resulting gut totally threw off his looks. Plus, he never really nailed his conditioning, which is why he placed so low.

I think you have him confused for someone else. His back wasn't on par with Dorian's (then again, who's was?), but it wasn't bad at all - it was actually bigger and better than anyone else's circa 1996, including Flex W, Mike Francois and Aaron Baker. Bear in mind that the guy was a monster who competed around 280 lb on a 6' frame.

i know his back well and i saw all these pics before.. no one can argue about its size but i personally dont like its shape.. may be i am wrong and he deserves to be in the list but no way to be no. 7 if we talk about the best ever!!..
