Interesting to see that Ronnie video. He is lacking in confidence, barely holding his poses. His arms got much bigger from 1996-1998. He's a bit soft there, but no worse than some years he's won the O since.
The most interesting thing is how little fan reaction he got. I mean, he's got the sick back there, and he gets little or no applause on the back poses. 1-2 years later, he does the same pose and everyone is screaming and the flashes don't stop.

I think you hit the nail on the head. two years later, he actually held the back poses for all to see, rather than giving a quick, blink once and you'll miss it look.
then everyone could see his back for what it was, the best in the world.
