Yeah, width pops from the front, but depth wins from the back.
Judges definitely notice when thereβs no 3D look.
Wide lats are cool, but thickness is what screams power.
Looks impressive until you hit a rear double biceps.
Depth separates a good back from a great one.
That flat look can cost points fast on stage.
You need that dense mid-back to complete the picture.
Width without depth feels unfinished to judges.
Rows tell the truth way more than pull-ups.
Balance matters judges want a back that looks carved, not just spread.
