There was no other context than me saying he does NOT have a top six in the world back. I then wrote that I hope my back is about that big now. How is that in any other context than as written?
I mean, shit, do I look like I just started lifting?
That statement implies your back is on par with his.

It implies that I hope my back is about that big now…which I do considering the size I am carrying. Please point out what is wrong with that statement coming from someone with the measurements I have. I could see if I was some skinny newb saying that, but I’m not.

You dont see the competing mindsets within these last two posts?
You say that you ‘hope’ your back is that big. Then in the next sentence you state that your bigger than Rockel because you weigh 285lbs.
In this post you again compared your back to the “number 6 bodybuilder in the worlds” back. Downplaying it I guess. But two lines later you again reference your advanced development.
I mean seriously youre all about talking about how absolute size isnt the main aspect of bodybuilding. Have you ever been lean enough to know if your separation matches Rockels? Who cares if your back is bigger than Rockel’s. There’s a lot more than just size, apparently.
The offending post. Apparently, a guy who is my height and overall size can never have a back anywhere close to that? He’s got great development. I hope people say the same about me eventually. Do I consider his back to be one of the top best six in the world? NO.

Rockel is in contest shape. I’m not. yes, I wouldn’t find it hard to believe that a guy weighing 285lbs at 5’10" could have a back about the same size as someone the weight Rockel competed at. Had I known this would be such an issue, I would have waited until someone snapped a pic of my back, especially when dieted down.

No. I have never been lean enough to see separation and that wasn’t the point. I didn’t say I was as lean as he is.
…and let me get this straight…everyone on me for this thinks this is one of the best backs they have EVER seen in bodybuilding…great enough to be one of the top best six backs in the world?
There are definitely better backs out there, but it’s not a bodypart contest persay, it’s about the overall package and Rockel is well put together.
Regardless, it’s ludicrous to compare yourself to one of the best BB’ers in the world when there are no pics of YOUR back anywhere. It’s real easy to critique a picture of a guy until you take another with you standing right next to them.
We both know if anyone else had said that you would be all over them for it.

???
It IS about his back if people are now using this to say I think I am better than Rockel. I made that statement that I HOPE my back is about that size now. It can not be taken in any other context than that. I mean, shit, I wear a XXXL dress shirt but I could in no way have a back anywhere close to that?
Why is this an issue?
Rockel won top six in the world that night. His back is NOT top six. I made that point and apparently this is taboo.
Why?

Dude, if anyone else NOT weighing over 250lbs had said that, then yeah. Considering that there are few guys here bigger than me, how is the statement wrong?
I will work on a back pic…but I am still wondering how you or anyone else thinks this is so strange.
How do you “work” on a back pic?

Get someone else to take it in good lighting???
I’m confused…haven’t I posted enough pics here for people to know I’m not tiny?
I normally wouldn’t post a pic of my back until I dropped more weight. There is obviously less v-taper with fucking love handles present at all.
IDK, just found that expression funny.
People with no leverage on the site or credibility should not jump on the bandwagon…
My back minus lovehandles.
I will obviously take more pics when I drop back down…but I personally love being this size with this level of strength.
Sorry about the lighting, but that is with the window open and the sun about to go down…and apparently none of you can wait.

Why are you here?
To hang with the cool kids, apparently.

Why is it quiet in the thread now?
