I was 31 years old, 300 pounds, and 5'10" tall. My biceps measured 22 3/4" , my chest measurements hovered around 50" , my calves were 22" around, and my quads were 32".
sounds about right :-X
-
Is that the book Flexability??
Ive never read it

For an off season Flex, yeah. Do you notice that his waist measurement is not listed. ;) That is very telling. But I actually think his arms got bigger than 22 in comp. shape at one time.
-
What do you reckon his waist reached then??

yeah , the book is full of shit .
-

45-55"
He means his calve implants measured 22" :-X
He never had them ;). Chances are they were ecilene injections. I have a rare pic of a full back double bi from the 1993 Arnold, it shows his calves, flexed, with separation. Plus it was Shawn Ray who started it, so that he could get in Flex's head, which Shawn Ray admitted. I'm at work now so I can't post it.

This one? and Flex challenged Shawn to put up or shut up he would get them x-rayed and if he had implants he would have to pay I think $10 or 20K and if he didn't Shawn would have to pay him , needless to say Shawn never took the challenge

This is Flex pre 1999 Mr Olympia and HUGE I think I read somewhere he was 262 pounds I may be mistaken though , he looks bigger than normal and bigger than he was at that show
-
Flex with a 45-55inch waist!!! Really??
-
Is this a joke? I don't know what is more unbelievable:
A) the idea that Flex actually wrote a book
B) that any publisher thought there was an audience for a Flex authored book
C) that anyone bought/read the book
D) that anyone here thinks any claim in the book is worth talking about
;D

Nope, there is a clearer pic, from full straight on. Clear as day it was. Showed his back, shredded glutes (which he never had after 1993), and shredded calves And It was in Chris Jefferson magazine, it had Eryk Bui on the cover. I posted it like 2 yrs ago. Awesome pic. Pure perfection.
Shawn never took the challenge cause Shawn knew he never had implants, he was effing with Flex, and it worked.

Flex at 300 pounds, yeah. And if you have never noticed there are virtually no offseason pics of Flex (i'm talking the puffy 300 pound ones) like other bodybuilders. Plus he didn't really need to go up that high, since he competed at 215-246 (the last number was in 2001, when he was very sick)

Post the pic again please ! relatively few great pics of Flex at the 1993 Arnold , they need that on video so we can see some great screencaps of that contests , I got a few crappy ones from a Youtube video and a few scans but that it
and I seriously think Shawn believed Flex had implants but he wasn't willing to put his money where his mouth was .

i do like a good ninja story. ;D
-
He's the king of exaggeration. Physique and what he says. I liked the book, but from catching him lying in it, I am not sure WHAT exactly WAS true in it. Not even Grandma NOT wearing a bra because they cost too much!!!!!!! BUT he had a nice physique.
-
yeah , the book is full of shit .
As long as you know what's true and what's bs , the book is kind of entertaining.....funny how the Rush Hour 4 incident is not mentioned though...you know the car jacking attempt????

He did omit that lol and I liked how he even refused to mentioned Shawn Ray's name in the implant situation
-

I thought you would be more aware that he didn't even mention Dorian's name when going into the 1998 Mr.O, all he said was 'The previous champion had retired'.
When he tried to push the book in MM a few months previous, he did say that the car jacking incident would be in it.
-
LOL, I bought it. :D
You won't recover. ;D
-
It's natural to take what Flex Wheeler and the book say with a grain of salt.
-
chest only 50 inches at 300 lbs? i am 5'11, 235 lbs, and my inflated chest is 48 inches.

He said in MD he never got his quads to 30", so why would he type this cr@p?

Flex said on his radio show that the highest he ever got was 280-290 and he felt like garbage.

looking good Mars, what did you place? ;D
-
the only one of those stats i consider believable is the 50" chest.
-
flex was never 300 pounds.
He never ate a WHOLE pizza neither.....or rode a motor bike down the hill hahahahahahahaha or and his sister never owned a gun. Instead of abusing diuretics he SHOULD have been taking laxatives to rid himself from all the shitt he was full of. Nice physique though!!!!

Hell, it's Kuwait, one dinar ($3.20) is a drop in the bucket for them. That's like Mcdonald's having a .25 Menu instead of the dollar menu.
And the appraoching then, that probalby the reason, why he is "lazy" at that time, can't get any work done if people keep talking to you.

Bay, if Flex made a claim in his book that bends over for guys you would have bought that book in a flash ;D

If he inflated all of the other numbers, what makes you think he didn't inflate his chest measurement also?

Flex is one of the best bodybuilders biggest idiots in the history of the sport. The man is flat-out nuts.

I think a lot of the problem are the groupies and people who are indulging him. It's too bad. The guy is somewhat delusional....but he's still a nice guy and I wish him the best.

Um, no. An all drugs BB bent over for guys would not have been news to me. Yawn. ::)

Flex falls silent of the kidney that was donated to him...Hmmm...that poor lady who got duped out a kidney!

He got the kidney and went right back to the juice :-X
some people never learn :-\
did he have 1 working kidney?
or were both his kidneys having problems?
it would make no sense for that lady to give a healthy kidney so Flex could have 2 healthy kidneys :-X
-
lol, flex is an illiterate , no secret in bbing land. i remember he had to sign some official olympia paper or something and he didnt knew how to hold a pencil.
-
(http://i42.tinypic.com/5tuf5.jpg)
That's not Flex Wheeler and Shawn Ray.
-
You may as well say that Flex stole that kidney....absolutely disgraceful behaviour in my opinion.
Yes, someone who melts their kidney's from overt drug abuse and them scams and slimes his way to someone elses kindney.....one of the lowest acts in the industry.
-
Dude, they stole my kidney!

From what I was told, Flex didn't mention the car jacking because the book was around the time he found religion and was going to avoid all LIES in the book. :o

I double doubt he's gay, bus acted feminine in the past. But I doubt he swings that way.

I used to run into him a lot at the LA shows but haven't seen him in over 10 yrs. He reminds me of that Rory guy who used to hang around Mike Tyson.
-
Rory Liedlemyer? Dont know if I spelled his name right...what ever happened to him?
-

No Rory (a blk guy) was some guy who was like the president in Mike Tyson's entourage. I forgot his last name but it certainly wasn't Liedemyer.
-
Rory Halloway he was Mikes Official Manager assisted by another hanger named John Horne.
-
I read that Flex's HIGHEST off-season bodyweight was 277 pounds.

Who is the bodybuilder in the middle doing the front double biceps?

Flex was 230 - 240 competition weight. He said on his radio show...

LOL
(Reported to moderator)
-
Flex was 230 - 240 competition weight. He said on his radio show...
Which means he was about 228 tops...
-
he looked his best at 218 to 223, heaviest he got to was 235 and was off, at 218 to 235 he could have maybe won an olympia but he only got to that shape once just after turning pro. Appareantly problems with his water regulation due to the onset of his kidney disease made it difficult to get that dry again even with the use and overuse of diuretics.
