Title: 1993 Flex vs. 1998 Ronnie
Post by: Danimal77 on December 12, 2016, 10:17:09 AM
We all know that Flex couldn't even beat Dorian in 1993, yet we also know that Flex came in a little soft compared to his condition from earlier in the year. Would that have made a difference? Also, how does Flex from 1993 compare to Ronnie from 1998?

Even Flex's best shape was not in Ronnie's league, especially when it came to shredded glutes/legs.

I agree. I have to admit that these back shots are sick though.

Ronnie wins in my opinion. Bigger and more conditioned.

As much as I like Flex, 98 Ronnie murders him.

Flex was around 218 in 93??

Ronnie's biceps in his prime were out of this world

Ronnie's midsection has always ruined his physique for me. He's the king of freaks but from the front will always look like shit to me because of that horrible midsection

Any Olympia winning version of Ronnie absolutely rapes any version of Flex.

Flex is better if your talking about pure bodybuilding! Flex was in line to be the next mr. 0lympia but he had the car accident and the so-called car jacking, those incidents led the powers that be to x him out of the Olympia throne!

Not really.  Ronnie built his body.  Flex is a genetic marvel, drug abuser and oil bag.

He never could of hit the side chest as good as he should have. Instead of pulling back his shoulder and opening, Ronnie would flex his front delt with his chest and flex downwards.
There were times he did hit the pose pretty good.

First pic is from 2005 Mr. Olympia. Second pic is from 2006 Dutch Grand Prix. Third pic is a comparison with Levrone that shows what I said above about Ronnie.

Levrone hits the pose perfectly. He's also at his biggest (or close) here and it just... wasn't enough.

Saw Flex the year he won the Arnold and swore he was the best bodybuilder ever. Tiny joints and full muscles. Then I saw Ronnie win one of his Olympias at 297 3% BF and knew I just saw the best BB ever.

Flex was the 90's version of Cheath. Cartoon arms combined with bird chest and overrated. Ronnie blows him away

I actually agree with this assessment. Flex'd condition was insane in 1993, but he never looked that good again. Compare him to Shawn Ray who was consistent year in year out from the late 80's to 2001.

Agreed. Looked great in 93 and then became a watery oil bag. Laziest trainer besides dillet

'96 NOC he looked really good, before he went crazy with the oil.

Ronnie is absolutely destroying Flex in all of those pics. The only area where Flex has an advantage in abs. Flex had great lines, but was really narrow.

I'm not comparing them side by side. The 90's>present but Flex was still overrated during the 2nd half of his pro career. Fake calves, oily delts, arms, blurry abs, and he trained with the intensity of a housewife. He never deserved a Sandow and I'm glad he never got one.

Ronnie's biceps in his prime were out of this world
At the 97 Arnold, he was 224, and 280 pound Nasser was livid that he lost to someone that he out weighed by 56 pounds.

Flex at his 93 body weight could in theory beat a 98 Ronnie---it depends on what the judges wanted. In terms of freakiness, Ronnie would win all day. In terms of keeping weight down, establishing a marketable product, Flex would have been ideal.
