The definition of "Lights Out" in one single Pic !

[Royalty]

Don't think so.  Kai is weak in the traps department but his back is thick as hell and wider than Phil's. 

Go to 4:33

affeeman, are you sure? Think about this statement...

OMR, the reality is that Ronnie had a top two RDB and rear lat spread all time....I would call him one and Phil / Dorian 2 / 2a. However, from the front he smoked both of them by a Texas mile in his prime. Best of all-time without a doubt except for abd distention that was prominent in all of the rivals especially considering GH and insulin use in this era.

There must be better back shots of Ronnie than this.  Because frankly, the shot of Phil is better than this one of Ronnie.

A total beast!

Did Phil ever look like that?

No, nor is that the point.  Best Ronnie is superior to the best Phil.  The 1st pic posted of Ronnie however, did not make the case correctly for Ronnie.

Nothing like posing in a thong in your drive way while spectators drive by

I don't like the phil physique that much (it is a top tier one, but it is built on a structure that isn't top tier) but I'll say this, Ronnie, quite clearly has a non symmetrical back.  His left side is obviously smaller.  Every back pose he does looks a bit odd because of it.  He is dominant but I'm surprised that people don't talk about it - it detracts from just how good he was.  Every time he poses it, it looks off.   I just cannot unsee it

At the 2006 and 2007 Mr Olympia shows, the judges penalized him for that. At the 2007 Olympia, it was discussed by the commentators I believe

Edit: here’s the video

Comparing phils back to ronnie? Give me a fucking break...

Phils three inches shorter and about five inches more narrow. He'd look like a fucking midget next to Coleman or Dorian for that matter.

The really weird thing to me is that it is obvious in the pic from 98, just above.

Phil is 5’9 and Ronnie is 5’10
