Why is it so difficult to have a great back double bicep?
« on: July 21, 2015, 12:22:24 AM »
It seems to be the most difficult pose to be great at. I don't think its because of lack of effort for most pros.

Because the front biceps look more "angular" than the rear...

IMHO, the FDB is much harder. The pecs disappear and the abs frequently look slack.

Genetics, not knowing HOW to train back correctly and the lack of flexibility in the shoulders

Great pics as always ND, but Dillett is a prime example of how not to strike a BDB.

Worst poser ever. Even Nasser could have given him lessons.

i never understood why it is so hard for most of "bodybuilders" to keep the arms DOWN during a FDB and BDB?  ::)

fucking hate it when they pull the arms up, looks retarded, makes your lats disappear and you look like a fookin gorilla

most guys probably dont even know how to flex the lats isolated...

It starts with the position of the shoulders, they should be as low as possible.

It's because humans have eyes in the front of their heads.
If they were in the back then people would have weak fronts

So hard to get people to acknowledge this though. Feels awfully lonely out there sometimes as a thong "aficionado".

Most men with the same interest prefer to hide behind a screen :D

It seems that the guys who have a lot of back detail train back with a squeeze motion and perform pull ups correctly. Like they get a real good contraction of the scapula, and they also train the lower back well. Look at Flex, Shawn, Ronnie, Dorian and others from that era with good back detail. In today's era look at Phil and Kai train back, they even trained together at one time. A pull up or lay pull down mimics the Abadan pose, so doing a lot of those helps in the mind muscle connection as well.

Now, take a look at the back training of those who have terrible BDB poses and lack detail. Their training is telling a la Dillett, Nasser, and Jay Cutler.

People always post that pic of Strydom, but is he even hitting the pose yet? Seems like he is in transition still; no way did his back suck that bad.

He and Bertil Fox were known for being two different bodybuilders---full from the front, and deflated from the back.

the dumbest is when boxers do that stupid front double bicep. How retarded. No muscle at all to pull that off. I should punch them in the face to teach them a lesson. Yeah, think I'll do just that...

You may have a point but it wouldn't matter if it were the case his back wasn;t going to magically get wider , thicker and more detailed
