Australia Pro: Rolley's Back

[clued-up]

Yet, Branch's is worse

Branch is white, he‘s lucky to be up onstage at all.

hey tool, why dont you post pics of your hero standing next to other competitors?

Hey fuckface, since when am I your secretary? Enough pics online to show you that his posing from the back isn't all that and that he can use more mass on his back still, but to say that his back is weak is to be discussed with the pics I posted.

[Shockwave]

for a rookie to look like that, is an amazing feat in itself

fuck the hataz !

You can tell from the front double bi that he either wasnt finished posing, or hit it wrong in the Lat Spread pic. There is no way his back is that narrow based on that front pic.

awesome back...

indeed, when standing alone in an empty room.

what's up mezo?
don't you think he's one of the best?

he's standing "alone" in that picture too, you can't honestly think that's the same pose

Thats the whole point,he`s not "stood alone",he`s got a photographer telling him to move his hands up or down into the right position,telling him to pull his elbows forward or backwards until he hits it just right,then tells him to hold it while he takes the pic.Onstage is a different matter,then you really are stood alone.In the 70s and 80s we would spend an hour after training practising posing in the mirror so that we knew the right "feel" and position of each pose,and obviously the rear lat spread and rear double biceps are the hardest because you can`t see them.The pro`s today don`t seem to spend any time practising.You see them hit a double biceps and the elbows are held too high up,the leg position is all wrong,and its just a few basics that they don`t bother to learn,that could make them look a lot better.

yeah, im not disputing that he's posing poorly in the on stage picture. The whole premise of my post is that he was posing differently in the two pictures.
