You and I have extraordinarily different ideas of what "looks great".

Pure truth, Flex looks exceedingly more dismal than I had imagined, and I expected he'd not look all that good. There is SO much wrong with that upper body I wouldn't know where to start.

I'm shocked. Wheeler is so much worse than even I expected. It is also hugely depressing to witness what was once a cartoon physique devolve into this. Doing bullshit workouts in some non-descript health centre, complete with, yes, an embarrassing circus hat better sized for a beach ball.

Flex is totally lost within a delusion.

That video was Strait's exactly why you do not hire Pro bodybuilders or former pro bodybuilders anybody with Elite genetics usually as personal trainers.

He mentioned the last 2 movements of his workout focus on thickness and inner back? Yet I see him doing straight arm pull-downs which focus on neither of those things. straight arm pull-downs are a lat "isolation" movement and have absolutely nothing to do with the inner back or any of this "thickness" he talks about.

Rob, put aside what he used to look like and consider the guy is 52 years old. He has had multiple surgeries, kidney transplant etc. Taking all off that into account I think he looks pretty fucking good.

Sure, for a girlfriend in the bedroom, with mood lighting.

In a gym, I'd rather not see someone so badly put together flaunt it in a tank top. Stringbean forearms, oversized and poorly-shaped upper arms (complete with rapidly-receding triceps length), deformed elbows, saggy width, hideous ink everywhere, zero appearance of strength or power ...

And this guy's stepping on an Olympia stage?!

Even without vivid memory of what he once presented, I'd state how lousy he looks. To add insult, his is NOT the body of a lifelong resistance trainer who is simply fading with advancing age.

His physique loudly speaks of a now-it's-here-now-it's-not-and-here-it-is (isn't)-again.

Kevin Levrone said that Flex looked like a racehorse back then. Now, Flex looks like he should be used as a carnival pony or taking a ride to the glue factory.

And that hat looks stupid on him.

In the past you had absolutely no problem with getting into the posing room pretty contest dropping his pants around his ankles and hitting the compulsory poses.

That maybe. But, why the need for validation? Also, it doesn't do him justice, we all remember the old Flex, guys today couldn't touch that. Showing that at 50+ he can still stand with youngsters, is something only Vince Taylor and Albert Beckles could do, and they did it without long lay offs and health issues that Flex has.

for gods sake bring back the masters Olympia to save both him and Kevin from walking on stage and embarrassing themselves, he has one of the best legacies in bodybuilding similar to Kevin all they are doing now is proving to the world that no amount of AAS and HGH will ever redeliver your youth, looks ok for a 52 year old nobody, but hes flex wheeler a guy who on his day in ironman 93 delivered one of the best ever physiques to the stage, a physique that would have no problem winning the Olympia today, but hes no longer him and even in his youth never ever repeated that look again.

From certain angles he looks great, and by certain angles I mean by looking at him straight on from the front, or straight on from the back. If you saw him from a 3/4 view from the front or back you would realize how much "thinner" he was then other Pros. (from the side things were kind of skewed by the size of his arms and him twisting you shoulder closest to you is it rear a little bit) The only thing that gave him the appearance of front to back "thickness" were his arms.

Guys complain about Phil Heath out-Angling guys in photos or stepping up on guys on stage, but Flex was the originator of those tricks. (as was Arnold who likely learned it from Joe Weider who probably also taught Flex).

Well don't believe that .....

If he was competing against himself, he'd do a body transformation documented online "exposure" and then do a guest posing at a major contest ....

He saw Levroneeeee grabbing all the attention on social media last year for challenging and stepping on stage against the best BB of the world  and his Gigantic EGO got the best of him .

Don't like his look due to synthol in his arms but I also don't get all the talk about ruining his legacy. He will always be remembered as one of the best of all time and nobody could take that away from him. Anyone who is expecting him to look like he did in the past is a fool anyway but no matter how bad he looks on stage it has nothing to do with his former achievments.

He competing in the classic division and he still has an amazing physique for that level

Maybe you (still) believe that he will show up, looking like he did on his last show 14(?) years ago. Unfortunately this won't happen, not even close.

He still has a good physique but from a competitive point he does not

Have you seen the competitors in the classic bbing division? Good luck with that

No he'll be a good 20 pounds lighter - We'll see in a couple of weeks. Regardless he looks incredible for a 52 year old.

Don't like his look due to synthol in his arms but I also don't get all the talk about ruining his legacy. He will always be remembered as one of the best of all time and nobody could take that away from him. Anyone who is expecting him to look like he did in the past is a fool anyway but no matter how bad he looks on stage it has nothing to do with his former achievments.

yes, he had a beautiful body in the beginning  , more 'pleasing to the eye " than Dorian's  (not superior bodybuilder ) but better lines .......

But Flex  will also be remembered as a fraud , the oil, the ninja attack, the natural freak charade, arrogant, full of himself and mainly for frying his kidneys trying to reach 0 % body fat ... a complete joke
 
You can call it Legacy", but From now on he is just adding more to the negative aspect of his career .



WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

And then Jay, who outangled them all, taking notes on how to steal Olympias from better bodybuilders from the master blaster himself:

Didn't he say he was going to bring up his forearms before comp time?  ::) These guys talk complete BS. No idea why anyone gives them interview time.

That oil is frying his kidney as it filters out that oil. That soft bloat muscle from oil always looks bad. He was amazing back in the day.

His eyes paint a picture...

Funny you should say that, Mr Coleman also suffered from the same 'really rare' kidney disorder [FSGS] that Flex (and other BB transplantees did...  ::)

Gary Wayne Coleman was born[1] in Zion, Illinois, outside Chicago,[2] on February 8, 1968. He was adopted by W. G. Coleman, a fork-lift operator, and Edmonia Sue, a nurse practitioner.[3] Due to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (a congenital chronic kidney disease), and the corticosteroids and other medications used to treat it, his growth was limited to 4 ft 8 in (1.42 m),[4] and his face retained a childlike appearance well into adulthood. He underwent two unsuccessful kidney transplants in 1973 and 1984, and required frequent dialysis.[5]

His best shape was in 1991. Amazing physical genetics (apart from the calves implants) and a promising business.



After that he ruined everything : health, private life, business and image among fans.

This guy has a psychiatric problem.

For a 52 y/o he does, but this isn't a Masters Olympia

Why do you people still go on about calf implants?

Do you not pay attention for years before making these comments?

LOL.  kepler2008 probably wasn't born yet in 1991, or else was in diapers.  The (alleged) calf implants didn't happen until much later.

If this recent pic of Flex standing with classic physique phenom Breon Ansley is any indication...Flex is going to be embarrassed if he steps onstage this year. :(  He's got nothing to prove and everything to lose.

He better hope that the judges use a very liberal scoring system that favors 9 inch forearms, shitty tattoos, pointy elbows and severe mental illness. Stay positive, Flex!
