Title: Flex Wheeler in 1993
Post by: NarcissisticDeity on December 18, 2005, 01:29:36 PM
Flex Wheelers Pro debut has to be one of the best in the sports history

1st Place Ironman Pro
1st Place Arnold Classic
1st Place French Pro
1st Place German Pro

and a 2nd Place at the Mr Olympia this has to be some sort of record what an impressive run until the accident but he came back after that and still won 12 more times .

Not the bodybuilding style in '93.  And if you didn't have the physique--you wouldn't dare try to wear any type of spandex with Otomix/TIMS!!

At that time, the pic was cool to publish.  Especially after the article indicated that he just finished chowing down on McDonalds. 

It WAS a cool picture back then.  Flex was "King of the Bodybuilding World" back then, and that picture perfectly illustrated it.  HotSkinz and all.  Man bodybuilding hasn't seen a fashion phenomenon like those things SINCE those things.  EVERY BODYBUILDING STAR THAT TOOK PART IN A PROFESSIONAL PHOTO SHOOT BETWEEN LATE 1992 AND EARLY 1995 WORE HOTSKINZ APPAREL IN IT.  I clearly remember thinking them so fucking cool and wishing I was in shape enough to wear some.

I think the guys most influenced by that time period are about to enter the peak of their bodybuilding prime.  Let's see what sort of physiques turn up over the next 4-5 years.  It could be interesting.

I'd actually like to see a thread started with nothing but guys physiques from 1992-1996 posted in it.  They don't have to have Hotskinz on, I just want everyone to see a large sampling of physiques from that timeframe.  IMO everybody needs a reminder.  Go ahead and start it if you guys can beat me to it, whoever's with me on this.  That really was the craziest look if you ask me.  Not quite as perfect as late 80's, but with just enough advancement to make it both darker but at the same time more brightly progressive.  It'll forever represent to me "the future of the sport."  Even if it IS considered "retro" now.   

And 240, I don't want you posting in that thread.  You'll fucking ruin it.  I don't even wanna see you respond to what I'm saying now in THIS one.  Get away from me right now.   :(

Hulk Hogan still wears those windbreaker/weightlifter pants with the crazy colors and patterns til this day! I used to wear them to, and i was like 12 years old. I also knew they were for "the strong guys" as I used to say at the time. LOL!

Are you talking about the spandex stuff?  Cause what I'm talking about was ALL spandex.  LOL  Spandex and vertical stripes.

LOL!!! No way man! I wouldn't wear spandex ever! I'm talkin bout those semi baggy thin cotton pants with the crazy small color patterns big guys would wear around with sneakers in the early 90's. Come on, u gotta know what i'm talkin bout. Nobbs wears them too. Matter of fact, I think they r the same material of those pants most of the pro's today, like Melvin wear. Just that back then they were made in these maniac colors, and patterns.

Flex in 93 was the best bodybuilder ever. He had beautiful shape, size, and symmetry. His small joints made his muscles flare off the bone. He was a genetic phenomenon, I don't understand why the public doesn't realize that, and gave more attention to bodybuilding back in the day

I'm not really feeling the leotard but the benefits of it namely the package is quite a nice treat  :o

Back in the day people knew who Flex was even if they weren't into Bodybuilding.

I know what your talking about.  I think T.Micheal makes them.  There is some big jackass bodybuilder in my gym that still wears them with the otomix shoes and all.  Worst thing is that he wears a flannell shirt with the sleeves cut off with this whole getup.

LOL! That's funny shiet! In my hometown of Greenpoint, there's this HUGE Polish man that must have been a Pro at one time or another. This guy was HUGE since I was five, 20 years ago. I saw him last year, he's still HUGE, and he's still wearing those pants i described. The times I've seen him, thats all he's ever worn. ;D

In the spirit of digging up ancient threads, I'll debate this one.

As an overall year, I do think 93 was the best for Flex, but his best show of all-time was the 96 NOC. Since you never have anything better to do with your time ND, why don't you post some pics from that show?

Jim Quinn stated it was measured by Billy Smith at 0.0% a week before the Olympia in Gold's Venice which made him technically dead at the time :o

come on now, everyone knows after the accident that Flex was rolling BIG JOINTS

And, slow cooking is what makes the meat flare off the bone.

It should also be noted that this was the lowest reading ever recorded at Gold's.

Flex holds 2 records (measured at the same time) as the lowest bodyfat levels of a bodybuilder, and the lowest bodyfat levels of a DEAD person...
The fact that he did win 12 more times after he died only shows how great he was...

Okay, so he won the USA's at 215 and look phenomenal, won the Arnold and Arnold comented that Flex had some of the best genetics in bodybuilding. But you say he's too small, who is the better authority you or Arnold ?

Get Flex Wheeler's Mass construction which was filmed after the 96 Olympia, might change your mind.
