Is the shot were Flex and Ray are both hitting the same most muscular side by side same contest?

Looks great there.
Shawn was in the contest, I think beside him. But It was a succession of pics, where Flex was next to Dillet, Flex raises his hand, as if to say, "This is how you do it", Then he proceeds to do a MM, Dillet is seemingly half-heartedly flexing his arm and chest...Flex had a certain way of breaking down the MM pose, if you ever watched him. He does it in two phases.

This was either 96 or 97...I believe 96, as Flex had hair and sideburns, and in 97 he was bald, and Shawn Ray trained with him.

Flex at his best is probably better than Ray, Clairmonte et cetera. I changed my mind.

Looked at his best when he balanced his chest out with his arms.

Great pic.

Flex , Shawn and Lee.

Bodybuilding has gone to shit...

I'll forget about Dorian, Nasser and Dillet becasue bodybuilding shouldn't be about mass at the cost of everything else.

I think he was more aesthetic than all of them tbh.

Levrone isn't even aesthetic, average waist, Delts overpower chest by a huge degree, Pec tear, no peak on biceps lacked ab detail and back detail.

i didn't know being aesthetic meant being short and stumpy like shawn

aside from his abs not looking as sharp (he's not flexing them) and chest looking shallow for obvious reasons, Mr. Levrone is structurally superior even in his worst pic

There is a pic of flex doing a kneeling back 3/4 bicep shot in like 93 or 94 and he looks great. I think it is the Arnold classic. Someone post it, I'm too lazy. It should end the debate.

Left shot looks far better,much more detail and smaller waist.
