I have seen some pics / videos from years ago and he looks like he was fairly decent in the 90's at a lighter bodyweight. He looks like he always had shit ty biceps, but fairly decent shape and that compared to his more recent showings. Was he considered a good up and coming bb in the mid/late 90's? And is he another that ruined his physique with GH etc tryna play the size game?
-
when he was doing the nationals, he was truly awesome, esp when he won the usa's

HE WAS very good when he won the USA's, he didn't need much to do very well in the pro's. His stint in jail screwed him up and by the time he hit the pro stage he started playing the size game...I would have liked to see him compete just once in a similar shape to his USA win.

Gayer than a fat free Bluberry Muffin bake sale
Here I fixed it for you. I fixed it for you better than Flex's guru fixed him before the '93 O when he was fat free.
-
He looked diced in 96 when he won usa,he was groomed for it after 2nd place in nat's ans earlier usa's,he had metrx deal.he blew it then in his firts go around,then he f'sss up again and will be locked up for a loooooonnnnnggggg time..

You guys are convicting poor Craig before all the evidence is in. ;)

yeah a situation like this calls for a careful consideration of the facts. There is no margin for error when somebody's life is on the line. That's why Billy Smith was so careful measuring Flex back in 93 he knew that nobody could live with 0.0% BF so he had to be careful when he measured Flex because he could kill him just by failling to find any BF. We all know how that one turned out though. Flex had 0.0% BF but still managed to survive. Incredible
-
The reason Craig looks so much better at Nationals than when he was a pro later on, wasn't necessarily because he played the size game. After his time in jail, he was drug tested regularly. So he HAD to go the GH/Slin route to remain competitive as they would not able able to detect these in the tests. He really had no options if he wanted to stay competitive until the testing ended.

Perfect tie-in. Yes, and that BF measurement was witnessed by the great Jim Quinn, if I'm not mistaken. Witnesses mean everything.

Good points - didnt consider that.

No Flex Wheeler has perfect tie ins. I know this because back at the 93 O when he was at 0.0% BF You could really see his muscle shape and seperation clearly. As Jim Quinn said on the telecast of that O, flex was "sin halo"

I tend to go for the look that BBers had back in the 90s. 93 Flex Wheeler is really the epitome of that look.

Decent. Thats it.

Very insightful post. Lacking in Zombie material though for which, you unfortunately lose points :'(

not as diced as the female in the boot of his car
she was truly cut after "burning" ALL HER FAT OFF
-
Wow maybe this is why Flex kept so many cars...do you think he used a similar procedure back in 93 to get to 0.0% BF?
It's less funny now that I worry about you getting banned/ Time Out. I'm pullin my hair out here, man!

Don't worry, I'm sure most Zombies are jealous of the heavy demin Craig wears on a regular basis.
-
He's been posting the same thing over and over again in about 15 different threads it seems. A lot of people find it annoying and might cry to a mod.

Sure it is. With his size at least he can be a Top and not a bottom in the clink. :)

No crap. Every thread I've read lately has a 0.0 BF comment in it. Not cool.

yeah enough is enough
that's what 93 Flex said after eating very small portions of food. You see he just ate until he wasn't hungry any more, NOT until he was full. I think that's how he got to 0.0% BF

Well done! Extra points for not only your quick recovery, but, the subject matter of your post is also pertinent. Most Zombies in prison that are sentenced to life wear their denim out within the first 50 years or so. Consequently, they are always on the lookout for new threads. This problem wouldn't be so prevalent if the U.S. penal system were better funded and more sensitive to the needs of their undead prisoners.

i remember Craig saying that if he hadnt gone to jail he would have been top 5 in the world, and that was around 2000-2001 i think
-
i think he's still big enough to hold his own in jail, and if not he'll KILL EM'
-
Maybe he's training his fans in the prison gym?
-
I don't think that Craig ever found himself as a bodybuilder. He always played the gh/size game and it ruined his physique over time. His diet in the precontest bible is insane, it looks just like Kamalis. ::)
-
I think the usa is the only show where he looked awesome.
-
He was good. He won the USA. Got 2nd to Cormier in a pro show. He qualified for the Olympia. He was a solid B list pro.
-
Craig looked good until he tore his pec. After that it seemed like hewas afraid of benching. He had a Lee Priest chest on a Bob Chick body, with a gut. On women they talk of the butt to gut ratio, but on Titus it was his chest to gut ratio...
-
Did he tear his pec? His chest distortion was always there, even in that early vid when he was looking good. I don't recall a fully torn pec though.
Someone said he had shitty biceps? Eh? Craig had some big arms on him.
As for potential, Craig indicated to us here back in the day (year or two ago) that thesedays he wasn't prepare to go to the lengths that he went in the early days to get that conditioning he had in the video.
Craig was a much better bodybuilder than Kamali ever was by the way. I've no idea how Kamali ever got the idea that he had a better physique.
-
Yes Craig had some great guns.

Just on some old videos his bi's just didnt seem to 'pop' like a pros. Tri's were freaky thoughhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKmX0cEdM-4

Massive over eating you mean? It does seem like all the palaumboism victims over eat. Kovacs claims he ate/eats 10,000 calories a day. 240 said he saw Palumbo eat protein bar after protein bar. Titus once said he started eating less, and it decreased his waist size.

No he didn't have a very big genetic peak, his arms were more round ala levrone. One thing he didn't lack were arms.. gigantic ropey veins in them. It was more the crazy chest thing he had going and the increasing stomach that was getting him beat.
