agreed. :)

Actually, I do think that Buchanan was almost too extreme - his upper body looked like it was going to break off it was so top heavy.

dorian does have a good taper in the early double bi shots though. What year was that? 1984 lol

When I think of a great taper, I think of Ronnie 98/99, I think of Haney, I think of Sergio.

buchanon is impressive, but very rare.

Dorian looked great at that time, Ronnie looked good in the beginning to, in the end they screwed themselves up.

I guess I'm just a little confused by this thread and especially by Andre's remark about Brian looking " frail " ... what the hell is a matter with some of you here at GetBig ? I don't necessarily mean in THIS thread but DAMN ! It seems like some of you don't know crap about Bodybuilding. How in the hell does Brian look " frail " ? He's huge and would look absolutely massive next to 99.9 % of the people here at GetBig including myself. No one's arguing that Sergio doesn't have a small waist but after Spinnis posted the pic of Brian this thread SHOULD HAVE been over and done with as far as pictures go. At any rate, to avoid this post being labeled a " Meltdown " I would like to say that this is one of the best pictures I've ever seen of a Bodybuilder ... THIS is what Bodybuilding's all about ... NOT big GH bellies. Good pic, Spinnis.

Post by: JasonH on August 24, 2007, 12:28:47 AM: I think Buchanan takes it on the taper front somehow - there's no-one been even close past or present. Zane had a small waist but his taper wasn't great. Shawn had a good taper too. Basically anyone who could pull off a vacuum pose stands a good chance of being able to display a great lat-to-waist taper.

Title: Re: Best taper in the history of earth?
Post by: Hulkster on August 24, 2007, 09:53:26 PM: dorian's taper (and everyone's I guess) always looks better in a lat spread because the waist is pushed in with the hands, making it appear smaller than it is.

dorian's taper without doing this was not very good at least in the front relaxed round because of his superthick waist.
