Who wins this pose? Top 3 at the 1980 Mr. Olympia - Arnold, Dickerson & Zane!!!

Chris has the best back relaxed in that lineup, with Zane with the best hamstring details.
Arnold has the flattest back and loses this back relaxed pose by far.

Overall I'd go with Chris Dickerson in this particular shot.
I know the 1980 Mr O is pretty controversial, but if we judge all the bodybuilding poses in which they were judged, like front shots, side shots etc, I still have Arnold winning.

Flex Wheeler - 23 Days before the 1998 Arnold Classic!!!

in this contest, phil heath was in great shape and he won prejuding. kai look huge, but in the finals he was better.

^^ yep, I agree.
I was a bigger Phil Heath fan back then, and I thought he was gonna win, but Kai deserved it just as much.

In that particular back relaxed pose, I have Phil winning though, due to the better back details.

Not sure, but it must be one of those years.

Nasser El Sonbaty at the 1996 German Grand Prix - Nasser had the thickest lats I've ever seen in the front double biceps!!!

Flex Wheeler at the 1998 Arnold Classic - Many experts have said this showing by Flex was his best look and others say it was the 1993 Arnold Classic. Let me hear your opinion below.

1998.

I have seen the 1998 Arnold Classic video, and man, he was insanely shredded indeed. Way better conditioning than 1993 AC.

For me though, in 1993 he looked more "fresh", more athletic and his body did not had as many years of "supplements" use to that point.
Not saying he looked burned out in 1998, but side by side, overall 1993 has that fresher more athletic and more classic physique look.

ps. I found these on google, so they are not made by me. Also you can notice a slightly wider waist in 1998 and his arms and delts look, well.. you can see how they look.

I agree with you about the "Fresh" look in 93 and his "arms" in 98.

The first, second and fourth comparison you posted above is from the 93 Mr. Olympia where his conditioning was not as good as his 93 AC conditioning. The 3rd and fifth comparison is from the 93 AC.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that some of the pics used were from the 1993 Mr O.
Still a good comparison to showcase what we both agreed upon. ?
