I can't believe he didn't win in 1993. That was the year he had a bodyfat level of 0.0%

I agree, he looked great when clean, which proves he wasnt all drugs,

He could also handle the big heavy iron.

His skin fold measurement was 0.0 not Fat % … in 93 he could beat Dorian … in 98 &99 … he couldn’t beat Ronnie …

Dorain looked som much bigger and was ripped that a rookie was not going to take that away from his … and being a reigning champion Dorian’s physique was preferred …

98-99 Flex and Ronnie had the same physique type but Ronnie was bigger, harder, leaner and more muscular … also Ronnie had a bigger and better shoulder to waist ratio … so it doesn’t matter if Ronnie got a contract from Joe Weider after the Pre-judging … Ronnie was the better bodybuilder that night

To me flex’s 93 ASC appearance was his best

Would you say that to Billy Smiths face? He outweights you by 90 pounds.

He actually measured the bf % of Kenneth "flexingtonsteele/Flex/Flexability" Wheeler to be 0.0. This was witnessed by none other than James Quinn (Not "Mighty" Mike Quinn).

Everyone knows this, its bodybuilding legend, what are you an expert in again?

No need to hate on flex bro.

Oh well … if you think a person can live with 0% body fat then great … i know that Jay got to 3% … not a lot of guys test for that and it vary from a Scale to another …

What did Billy Smiths use to measure Flex’s Body fat … that is what I thought … that statement was spread through a video of the ASC with Flex routine

no Hate on Flex ... this is just my opinion ... he was great but he never deserved to win ... not that he wasnt good enough ... but cause the others were better

So now, you are saying Jason Cutler has attained the level of conditioning that Flex achieved in 1993? I hope you are trying to be funny here.

That was broadcast on ESPN, back when bodybuilding was on television. I doubt William "Billy" Quinn would risk his television broadcastind career by lying on national

television.

Why the hate for flex, he deserves respect, one of the best ever, period, as these pics show.

We saw national television accreditation on NGC when they talked about steroids … they say what ever they want ... and who ever doesnt have a clue of what is going on will buy it ... I didn’t say Jay reached a better condition that flex … I said he reached a less body fat percentage … skin type does have a big influence on condition … Martinez does get leaner than Dorian … but he doesn’t get the grainy look cause that has to do with skin type …

I have nothing against flex … hell I don’t even know the guy … I just say what I think … I didn’t disrespect him … he looked great and one of the best bodybuilders in the world and a legend … he just couldn’t win ion 93 or 98-99 … and I stated my reasons … others just Flex should have won cause they favored him … or he was more entertaining

Levrone, Nasser, Flex, Sean, Padilla, Plantz and others...

I'd say Levrone was the greatest to never win an Olympia. Flex's year was supposed to be 1998 but Ronnie spanked him, plus he had calf implants and was a known synthol user.

Dorain looked som much bigger and was ripped that a rookie was not going to take that away from his … and being a reigning champion Dorian’s physique was preferred …

98-99 Flex and Ronnie had the same physique type but Ronnie was bigger, harder, leaner and more muscular … also Ronnie had a bigger and better shoulder to waist ratio … so it doesn’t matter if Ronnie got a contract from Joe Weider after the Pre-judging … Ronnie was the better bodybuilder that night

To me flex’s 93 ASC appearance was his best


93 ASC was it, wasnt it.....after 93 Olympia I think he became anxious, impatient and didnt think straight....had he left the synthol and porches alone and added a tad more pure muscle, he would have had a really good chance at dethroning Dorian during one of his "off-years".

Btw, Mr Olympia or Not - his 93 ASC physique was something else......gimme that over Ronnie anyday....for pure class and purity, it reigns....its up there in terms of Dorian's ruggedness and conditioning and Arnold's classic lines....

It's been proven that ninja attacks increase your body fat and prevents you from getting rid of that film of water, even if you piss your pants every time.
