Flex because of his genetics
Shawn (aslo great Genetics ) but was more consistant in placings...although less victories than flex...

50/50

Shawn Ray was a better bodybuilder, more complete.

Wheeler was more impressive though. Had best standout bodyparts.

 Shawn Ray looks to have been bodybuilding with the goal of keeping everything in balance throughout his career.

Otherwise Ray's quads would've just ballooned up IMO.

Flex Wheeler had better overall shape and lines but Shawn was more consistant and had better conditioning.  If they both competed at their very best Flex would win but in reality Shawn nailed his conditioning much more consistantly and would have been more likely to be at his best.

Too much synthol in his arms and esiclene in his calves.  Shawn was better balanced and did not cheat.

Shut up before you know the truth.
I saw Flex numerous times in Golds Venice and always look like this(OK condition is not like this. But muscle tone YES).Which stupid inject synthol before he trains?

Shawn, easily. Flex had the better potential but Shawn ended up being the better BB.

Shawn > Flex

Shawn had calves....made him more of a complete bodybuilder.

Flex had better muscle fullness & shape.

Shawn was a better all around bodybuilder but if I had to choose a physique I would like to look like it would be flexx since he just looked insane in person!  The "aw" factor was crazy when we was huge and in shape!

It's harder to decide who was a better bodybuilder between Shawn and Flex than it to decide who's better out of Dorian and Ronnie - I just can't decide!!  :D

Flex has admitted to using synthol.
I know but not every contest. He obviously used it 1999 because his delts didnt have striations when he hit double bi and his delts were much more huge.
ABout this pic. Maybe he used it because of his delts out line.But even if he dont use it, still he has monstrous delts outline.
