Title: Some pics from BodyPower Expo
Post by: Tony Doherty on May 26, 2013, 09:31:14 PM
Just got back from 2 weeks away with my son. We Went to Dubai, then UK and New York.

I did some MC work at BodyPower, which was a very well run expo in Birmingham. Got to check out Dorian's Gym, Temple and have a very cool dinner with the old crew.

Dorian, his son Lewis, Flex Wheeler, Kevin Levrone, Shawn Ray, Andrew Coulston of body coaches, Zack Khan, Kai Green and Shaun Rhoden. Great food and a few laughs.

My mate, photographer, Gary Phillips is putting together a DVD on the life and times of Flex Wheeler. We have been getting interviews from his Peers, coaches and associates for the last year. It will have some awesome content when he finishes later this year.

While we were at BodyPower, we got Ronnie, Kevin, Flex (again) and Dorian on tape recalling the 90s and what it was like to compete with Flex.

Some pretty cool interviews and revelations will be released.

If you totaled up the amount of money that every single person at the table spent on drugs, how much would it be? $10,0000,000?

Believe it or not he is around 260lb. In most pictures he looks small but when I took a pic with him at the Toronto expo he was bigger then I thought.

Very cool pics Tony.

He is as cool as hell and one of the most straight talking people that I have ever met.

All class as well, he shouted dinner for everyone like it was nothing. Humble and generous.

You will be happy to know that I asked all the hard questions. I got Flex to tell all about the ninja attack and a bunch of other stuff. All will be revealed on the DVD. There are some really good discussions.

Dorian paid for the lot. He didn't mention how much it was but we at a lot and Kevin and I drank a bit as well.

Very nice gesture from a very classy unit.

When it comes to Flex Wheeler DVD.

Most searched word with Flex Wheeler is word synthol on Google.

This subject should be definitely part of the DVD, There are many people putting Flex down for his supposed "synthol usage", even now people still claim that his arms are filled with oil. ::)

If Flex is willing to, he should openly talk what he used if he used to enhance his shoulders, calves or arms when he was competing. When it comes to his todays arms, they are definitely clear in my opinion and there must be some way how to prove it and shut up finally all haters.

They say synthol, i say fuck off.
