    As far as I understood it, Dorian Yates was the first bodybuilder to match arnold's back width.
    arnold had a huge back, they are just ****ty shots.

    Dorian's back is great, but I have to give the nod to Ronnie. Frankly, I'd kill to be half as thick/wide as either. Mark

    He has very clear dip for the spine so I think big erector spinae.

    You will hear him often say he is thick in the wasit (not fat) ...He was good at posing to accentuate his strengths and hide this. Im sure it is relfected in his rear lat spread (thicker waist taking away from appearance).

    i heard in competitions he always do a back pose fast and then back to his biceps pose again,that's why you will get most pictures of him doing bicep pose...

    When he was in a posedown against Franco, he always would do several of his best poses while Franco was doing a lat shot. Arnold always admitted that Franco's back was best bar none (of course the statement was made 30 years ago).
