Title: How on earth could Ronnie ever beat Flex??
Post by: affeman on October 03, 2012, 09:48:01 PM
Coleman with his barrel torso, toothpick arms and non-existant delts; Flex was superior to him in every way.

Probably because Ronnie didn't look anything like that when he beat Flex. Thats 05 Ronnie, not 98-99 Ronnie.

I have wondered about this myself as well. Flex should have always won, against everyone. Best shape ever. Even his Synthol-arms looked good.

Ronnie looked better with a tanktop hiding his massive midsection. He should never have won anything with his preggo-look  :'(

That's easy, Flex was a midget in comparison to Ronnie.  It's like comparing a boy to a man.  And while were offering up overtly biased comparisons, how about this one.

I've always thought Flex looked great in 1999. If I recall Flex was over 240+ lbs at the O which was huge increase in weight in one year. Flex could hold his own against Ronnie in certain poses but Big Ron was just way too much. When they hit rear lat spread everyone could see who's the champ.

Agree that synthol is ridiculous. Every step from a natural physique is less real bodybuilding in my eyes.

The only thing more fake that synthol i can think of is putting on a rubber suit and pretending it's muscles

Title: Re: How on earth could Ronnie ever beat Flex??
Post by: Dr Dutch on October 04, 2012, 01:07:42 PM
Because Ronnie looked STRONG, like a Mr O should. Flex looked like an assembled piece of blown-up individual bodyparts. Flex should never have placed in a Mr O posedown.

So says Dr Dutch

In 92 an all-white non-American was chosen to win the O. Dorian was a great BB, but with no aesthetics. If Kevin was all-white he would have won with his physique....

Not really no. His conditioning was good, but he was not big enough to win the O. He was in the right place at the wrong time, he wasn't ready.

(http://images.t-nation.com/forum_images/c/3/c3e31-ronnieflexxx.jpg)
The only Physique Flex ever had imo that could Compete (as in potentially beat Coleman) was his 1993 a/c or iron-man Version, if we are talking Coleman after 1998, that Flex wheeler could Potentially beat anyone in History before or since, the Only issue would be a equally or better Conditioned Coleman with Greater size Difference in 98 0r 01, that size Difference with that Crazy Conditioning would/could/ be the Difference in the 2 @ their respective Beats

Lolz. Now we're talking reality. Flex really didn't have the body to have be above 220. Whats funny is people really don't know what oil looks like.  Without oil, flex could today be in the under 200 division. Putting him anywhere near coleman is silly.

Post by: erics on October 06, 2012, 12:15:51 AM
The only year Flex was anything was in 1993.

You are all deluding yourselves if you think Flex in 98 or 99 was worthy of a title.

His bubble muscles looked absolutely ridiculous. He should never have placed ahead of Chris Cormier in 99. With all that oil, how he could ever be considered a bodybuilder, let alone a great bodybuilder AND get inducted into a 'hall of fame', shows just how low bodybuilding's standards are.

But then, bodybuilding seems to need its alpha myths.

It's funny flex being 5'10 cannot carry the muscle like Ronnie and Cormier (if he was more serious) structure limited.

Imagine a 220Ibs flex next to a 280+ 2003/2004 Coleman, talk about being owned :o
