Arnie Top 5 comparison side by side - rear lat spread
16x9, rear lat spread here
Branch: 4
A study in contrasts here. The most dominant calves and hamstrings in the bunch, glutes that go head to head with the Blade, and great width, but he just doesn't quite have the detail and separation here to take this one down. This one just isn't a dominant pose for him. When you have ridiculously low lats like he has, you REALLY have to develop them fully in order to show that sweep.
Mel: 3
Soft, watery glutes and no calves keep him out of 2nd place. Great sweep and spread, decent detail.
Dex: 1
You know you're kicking ass when your wide lat spread sits atop a Christmas tree and shredded glutes. Yeah, Vic and Branch both have him on overall width and mass, but this pose belongs to the Blade
Vic: 2
Brutal width and solid glutes push him up to 2nd place here. IF he was a bit better conditioned (and I mean, just a *bit*) he might be able to overtake Dex, but the Blade is chiseled and is dominant. Vic is a solid second, far ahead of Mel.
Gustavo: 5
Surprisingly improved detail and separation in his back are mitigated by a soft, watery ass, worst hammies in the bunch, and zero lower lat width. HIs lats are just too damn high and his width is just not there. If this pose was only judged from the waist up, I would consider bumping him ahead of Warren, but you judge head to toe, and a lat spread is more than just lats.

yes, Victor is one of the few pros with the width to go mass-for-mass with Ronnie. He just lacks the conditioning.
and you are incorrect in stating that it *looks* like Melvin has no waist.
He actually doesn't have one. Just a vertebral column with some abs in front and skin overtop. I think he sold his intestines to Satan as well.

The more I see pics of gustavo, the more I think we should be comparing him to spots 4,5,6,7; not 1,2,3. I think he got a gift...

I can see it being Branch's win if he was as ripped as Dexter, mainly because his legs especially the calves just dominate over the rest.
