Title: Flex Wheeler - DOES HE STILL LOOK BIG IN PERSON?
Post by: Frank Clairmonte on May 24, 2013, 03:48:16 PM
Never had chance to meet him in person after his retirement. Does he still look big when you stand next to him? From his few recent pictures from facebook he is definitely still holding 200lb+ of mass.

And when it comes to not getting old, this guy is on the same level as Levrone.

Flex, Shawn, and Levrone (and Nasser as well) all looked like they haven't really aged. Whereas Dorian and Ronnie look like they have aged a lot. Add Chris Cormier to those two as well...

lol,parker, so this throws the anti aging properties of gh kinda out of the window.jk ;D

flex in the top pic looks very suprisingly good actually, the chest is there, the shoulders too, and the arms seem somewhat less full of oil ???


not sure hes clean, looks like is on hrt or so, i hope hes not.i mean, 1 kidney later :-[
yeah he looks good,considering he was a cocky,sure to win or place ,genetic lottery for shape until he over did the size/oil/inj game...

haha if i had his genetics, hed seem modest compared to me ;D

drugs or not, best genetics ever , even better than levrone as far getting in shape quick, milos sarcev reported of flexs progress for a show once, basiclay said flex needs no more than 7weeks to get contest ready,no matter if he was skinnyfat before that
there have been a handful of usa or nationals winners who looked pro ready or pro level at those shows flex at 92 usa,s ray 87 nationals.

It maybe genetics, but it maybe the Kidney thing as well. I don't know the medical term, but Gary Coleman had kidney issues, and he looked young as well. Who knows.

Ronnie and Dorian both suffer from breaking their bodies down. Shawn is happy and "fat", and kinds enjoys not working out...which is funny because he called Flex out for saying that he would quit working out when he finished bbing. But, it's Flex who continues to work out, and Shawn who quit.

it's the insulin abuse that ages you.

All recreational drugs, and hardcore ones at that.

To be fair, Dorian looked 40+ yrs old when he won his first Olympia. Wasnt he only 29yrs old then? It's not like he went downhill all of the sudden.

I've heard this before, and can kinda grasp the concept from a metabolic point of view, but...how would YOU explain this aging mechanism?

I think it's ridiculous that any of you can look at that second photo of Flex and think that arm does not have a lot and I mean a lot of oil in.

No arm has that shape naturally.

He's still full of oil and if it's a choice between health and using a lot of gear to stay in shape, good luck to him.

He injects something into his arms.  Seen them up close and they look strange.

Actually flex said it himself that when he quits bbing he'll away from the weights for good

Don't know if better than levrone imo, flex can't carry mass and compete with the big guys..

Levrone can carry 250+ and look good, nobody gets in shape for competition faster than levrone and I believe in his later years as in 01/02 he just fast assed everything

Cormier can do the same thing , imo Chris is more complete and could have done better but....

total nut job with the synthol arms.

in his bbing carreer he could get away with it

That's what i said. He said way back in 97 or 98 that once he stopped competing he would quit lifting...and Shawn Ray was like "WTF!"

For Flex bbing was means to pay the bills and "flex". For Shawn it was his chosen "sport" and a means to pay the bills, so he took it seriously, methodically.

he got in shape quicker than anyone thats for sure but he took more gear than anyone as well, great genetic shape and response but his abuse cost him a kidney, he was a suicide pilot in his own trainers words when it came to doing what was needed to be done to get in shape far more than any other athlete of that era, genetics or not.

That's why I think overall levrone is better! Flex was better in terms of shape/structure
