"Joel attended the 2006 NPC Excalibur show in Culver City, both prejudging and finals, and he was drafted into handing out trophies to the Men's Open LHW top 5. After Joel was introduced, and as he was handing trophies, Mike Stolle, the MC, asked Joel to stick around after the trophy presentation. So after the trophies were awarded, Mike said that, while he had heard about Joel's incredible back, he had never seen it in person, and could Joel take off his shirt and pose for the audience? Joel good-naturedly complied, took off his (Koloseum) shirt, and hit a few shots.

Joel is 12 weeks out from the 2007 Ironman in these shots. "
