Nasser once had the best physique in the world

The only thing Nasser had on Dorian was arms and the ability to hold his stomach tighter while relaxed.  Dorian's back alone beats Nasser's entire physique.

The funny thing is, if you search for pictures of Nasser, it's almost impossible to find ones from the back....he was that bad.

The consensus was in 97 Nasser could beat Dorian from the front but lagged behind in the sides and really got schooled in the back

 I used to be of the belief that Nasser was the rightful winner in 1997, but after I watched a video from the contest, it wasn't close.  Although he looked great in pictures, Nasser just didn't have the density to compete with Yates, in my opinion.

It's hard to understand why his back lacked so much.
From front view he has decent lats, they are not attached high.
He didn't have Mike Matarazzo type very limited lat attachments.
Nasser had a dry look from front, but had a fat back, he could never dial it in...

Damn straight. As Arnold said at the '97 or '99 Arnold Classic, Nasser's front is flawless. It's always been his back that cost him points.

At the '95, '96 and '97 Olympia (or at least two of those) his back was one of the best onstage and career best for Nasser.
