best lower back?

[creathead]

who has the best lower back in the buisness? i always see pics of great upper backs but never any of great detailed lower backs... so who in your opinion has the greatest lower back?

Samir Bannout (sp) is the guy for whom the term "christmas tree" was coined. He had one of the most complete physiques ever, IMO.

Except like all the other ironagers had legs like toothpicks (with the exception of platz, mentzer, sergio etc.)

Berry DeMey, Hollands bodybuilding pride, and a great lower back

Yea that's true that his legs weren't that big.....but personally I liked the look of those legs better than the ones of today. The guys legs back then looked athletic, like they could sprint and jump and stuff like that. The super-developed balloon quads of today are just plain stupid looking IMO.

although really not big compared to most, when he's shredded the xmas tree effect is just awsome!

But you gotta remember Bodybuilding is about symetry,so if a dude has a hughe upper body he needs big legsto go along with them,other wise he wouldnt besymetric,and that would hurt his placement.

I myself liked the look of Sergio's legs, but Platz took it to a whole new level (my jury is still out whether it was good)

True.....but that's getting into the old "is bigger really better" argument. People always say that Arnold's legs were out of proportion with his upper body, but that's because they're comparing his proportions to the proportions of the guys today. Back before the days of huge legs (pre-Platz), Arnold's quads probably weren't thought of as being small at all.
