**the terminator** · 08-19-2006, 01:28 AM

i think flex wheeler had the best back overall of all time imo.

discuss....

**mar_angry** · 08-19-2006, 01:32 AM

i think the best part of flex was his arms, from the rear.

**HG_IRON** · 08-19-2006, 02:01 AM

gotta go with yates

**Uriel_da_man** · 08-19-2006, 02:08 AM

Yates and Coleman probably have the best overall backs of all time.

**flaxman78** · 08-19-2006, 02:42 AM

**newequation** · 08-19-2006, 02:57 AM

Aint no hos had a better back than flex!

**IronMogul** · 08-19-2006, 03:10 AM

Coleman.

**jonbodin** · 08-19-2006, 04:53 AM

IMO both Yates & Coleman had better backs. Also would have to include Samir Bannout in the best back conversation.

**george strong** · 08-19-2006, 05:11 AM

Best back has markus ruhl

**absboy** · 08-19-2006, 06:00 AM

ronnie and dorian have way bigger backs than flex. why do u think ronnie beat flex in 98 or 99, cuz his back was better, flex had ronnie covered in most areas

ya sorry,it was suppose to say"who" of course. lmao

**gustavo** · 08-19-2006, 06:30 AM

flex's back was a work of art, ronnie's and dorian's backs are just unreal and they are massive compared to flex's
for me flex would make the top 5 backs of all time though..

ronnie beat flex in 98 and 99 because he was bigger overall than flex.
when it came to there backs flex had ronnie beat imo.

exactly no one has ever had a more defined ripped,chiseled back than flex wheeler imo.

those pics are amazing and confirms it.

**SemiShred** · 08-19-2006, 06:34 AM

**Bigdolf** · 08-19-2006, 07:06 AM

Yup-another vote for Yates.

**Bigdolf** · 08-19-2006, 07:12 AM

Flex was a great bodybuilder but no where near best back of all time.

1. yates
2. coleman
3. arnold

arnold? c'mon now....

**BB is 4 life :)** · 08-19-2006, 07:38 AM

David henry has a bloody good back....

**1000hpstang** · 08-19-2006, 07:56 AM

One word, Yates.

**ironchest** · 08-19-2006, 08:19 AM

Yates for sure

**edizzle** · 08-19-2006, 08:31 AM

i wouldnt say burke, ruhl or arnold like others have said...

id say itd have to be coleman first then flex and yates tied for second place

but flex had the absolute best symmetry of all time though he just didnt have the mass or width that coleman or yates had

**sgtrobo** · 08-19-2006, 08:33 AM

yates and coleman are #1 and 2. I honestly don't care which one you put in front, but they are both undeniably 1 and 2.

Samir Bannout is in a solid 3rd place here. Flex's back was phenominal, but it doesn't compare in overall thickness and width. Great separation and definition, but thickness and width lack as compared to some others. His retardedly small waist and retardedly wide shoulder structure help give the illusion that his back was better than it was. No one will deny Flex's structure was insane, but his back, IN AND OF ITSELF, does not match up to some of the guys that placed ahead of him.

Id go along with that.

Joel Stubbs, many haven't heard of him but he has one of the best backs of all time.

http://www.flexonline.co.uk/39.html

Just look at that back, amazing thickness and his back muscles are practically hanging to his body right there. You can also see the development of his teres major, another key to developing an awesome lat spread.

**The_One77** · 08-19-2006, 09:51 AM

samir was overrated, he had a good back but had no where near the detail Flex had. And he was smaller than Flex too

**ZaneWannabe** · 08-19-2006, 10:33 AM

The pictures you guys have chosen to represent Flex over the mass monsters just confirms what I've been telling people for a while now: Flex Wheeler has the best back double biceps pose in history, but when it comes to the lat spread, he falls behind Ronnie and Yates too far.

Let's say Flex's back double is a 10. Well, Ronnie and Yates probably both put up 9's. (With Ronnie's as a little better, especially considering Yates' biceps tear.)

Then when they spread it, Ronnie and Yates are both 10's, whereas Flex is like a 7.5-8. You can see where the differential comes from.

The other thing is, with the exception of '93 when he got 2nd, he never really nailed his conditioning from the back like Yates and Ronnie seemed to always do. If someone can post a picture of Flex with striated glutes in another year, I'll stand corrected.
