juniorplenty: training the back [ franco.jpg ]
I place my thumbs in the small of my back and begin to spread my lats. It doesn't all come on at once. First I flex them a few times and then begin to let them extend their widest. Each time the audience and the judges think that is all, I flex harder and they come out farther. And just when everyone is gasping with surprise that a human being could achieve such development, I lift my arms into a power double-biceps shot, displaying enormous muscularity, thickness and separation.
Only the very best of bodybuilders can stand beside me when I do this without being blown offstage by the shock wave."
