Height should NEVER be an issue in bodybuilding. Flex would easily be top 5 in the open even at his 212 weight. That being said I pick Flex.

Couldn't he just choose to do the open class instead if he wanted to? Technically all he'd have to do is come in weighing 213 or more.

Height used to didn't matter as much.  See Shawn Ray, Lee Labrada, Lee Priest etc...It's b.s.

Flex is better than Phil in my book. And it's not like Phil was a towering figure.

Once again, utter garbage, worst structure of all time, all SEO arms, average... Lewis better from the front and side, back and height both goes to Phildo...

Flex is far more complete and gets into way better condition IMO.

It would be cool if they compared them for the overall winner....kinda like they did with Arnold and Franco in 1975.

Post by: Van_Bilderass on August 27, 2015, 12:17:48 PM
Flex has the same fake looking blown up muscle, Phil actually has more fine detail. Flex's muscle isn't striated at all, just blobs of gh induced water. :D

I don't know what wes is talking about when he says Flex gets in WAY better condition. ::) :D

He just looks harder and drier at contest time IMO..........plus his physique flows a lot better..........better lines even for a shorter guy.

Height does not matter?
It's favored and if all else is equal, the taller guy will win as it just looks better.

Coleman
Yates
Haney
Arnold

All of them had height and dominated.

Flex doesn't appear much taller than that guy in the middle but his hand seems twice a big

if he turned to the same angle as flex, closer to the camera it wouldn't be much different

He's too scared....

He's already making a ton of money from sponsors, businesses, and being the 212 King. He knows what he's doing. No need to jump into the open class

How can he be top 5 when Wolf, Rhoden, Dexter, ramy, and Kai are all there?? Flex is really good but all those guys mentioned would be too much for him. Top 10 yes!
Title: Re: Flex Lewis vs. Phil Heath
Post by: Royal Lion on August 27, 2015, 04:30:24 PM
I dunno, it's hard to say without seeing them side by side, but I think Flex would compare well with any of the open top 5.

True he'll compare well but he's not beating those I've mentioned. They have more size and equal conditioning and taller except Dexter but Dex is a former O and what 5 times Arnold champ

Kai, wolf, ramy, Rhoden are all better than flex

Look at his back and, no cuts, just blown up bloof. This ain't dried out shredded muscle to me, same shit as Phil, probably worse  :D

You may as well forget it, because youre never going to see Andrea Munzer type conditioning again

I'm at a loss why so many think Lewis' conditioning is so great or better than Heath's. He is a very good bodybuilder as is Heath so my critisism must be put into context but Lewis doesn't have outstanding dryness or detail even in this era IMO. His muscles look like blown up clay. A thick skinned look, which is genetic too of course :D

I don't think Flex is "much harder and drier" here, from the Olympia weekend last year. Same shit, pretty much  :D

I agree. There is really no "shredded" guys these days. All a soft, bloated look. Its what bodybuilding is today!

I've seen him once in person.  He is very short.  He might be 5'5" but he sure isn't any more than that.  Put him next to a taller guy who's in good shape and the taller guy will look better.

Might be the pic but he looks so much shorter than Heath. I've seen Heath in person and he looked about 5'8 at most.

Seems like a great guy.

If he brought his legs up he should give Flex a run. Should be an interesting 212 because the annoying guido Guy C is also looking great.
