Here is some Flex Wheeler from the early 90's when he was at his best, before the size game got the better of him.

Mate, NOWADAYS he is not, Cutler is MrOlympia, then HE is the man.

Ronnie is great, he is still one of the best, he could still win another Olympia, I now, I'm not bling, Ron is GREAT, really great, but nowadays he is not the reference, remember he lost!!!

PS: I'm not sure if Wheeler looked better than Ray in that pic, IMHO they are both SUPREME.

I'm going with Dorian. Remember, we are talking about BACK, not hamstrings or glutes.

He had thickness and width to compare with Ronnie, but I am going with Dorian for the following reasons

1) Tighter Christmas tree
2) Ronnie's left lat issue has been an issue for awhile
3) Better conditioning overall

I can understand anyone picking Ronnie over Dorian, they are super close.

However, the people that say Flex Wheeler are forgetting that Flex's rear lat spread was WEAK...downright lame. GREAT back double biceps, great detail and separation, but no width...

as for Jay...get real. Jay FINALLY caught up to Ronnie on Ronnie's worst day as a pro in almost a decade, and people are ready to put him up there with the best ever?
Jay has width. Jay also has a watery lumbar area, no spinal erectors to speak of, and poor separation and detail in his lat area. Sorry, he doesn't come close.

He beat Ronnie this year, deservedly, but in no way, shape or form does he deserve to rank up there with "the best"

Once he learns to get rid of that half gallon of water in his lower back, and once he learns how to deadlift more than 4 plates, and once he learns how to row some weight, then perhaps his back will be deserving of mention in a "best ever" type of thread.

I've attached a few pics. Before Team Cutler decides to rant and rave, post up pics that compare please. Then I'll listen. Jay has width, but that is it.

I was more joking than anything else. However his left lat inserts more laterally that his right one does. Just look at the shape of his "christmas tree". It's really minor and he probably won't be marked down for it ever, but like I said, I was mostly joking.
