Congratulation to Flex Wheeler on his 2023 Arnold Classic Lifetime Achievement Award! Very well deserved.
I am know Flex Wheeler since 1997, I think, when I met him at the Mr. Olympia in Long Beach, California
-
Guy nuked his health and treated most like they were gum beneath his feet.
What an “achievement”.
And his hot wife bailed on his organ-fried ass.
P.S. That coat is retarded. He was likely sweating buckets to “look cool”. What a dipshit.
-
Would’ve meant more if they gave it to him when he had his legs. Now it just reeks of sympathy virtue signaling. Has Ronnie Coleman gotten this award yet? If not, let’s get him one before the wheelchair.
-
Hmm...
One of the best bodybuilders of the 1990s.
One of the best every in symmetry.
Won the Arnold Classic four times!
Placed second at the Olympia twice.
He deserves it...
-
Hmm...
One of the best bodybuilders of the 1990s - one of the best every in symmetry.
See, I still don’t get this “symmetry” nonsense.
When people say this, they actually mean proportion. (What, do many sport unbalanced measurements on their left and right sides?) And even proportion isn’t what most mean when they say it.
Generally people mean “a pleasing aesthetic”. A flow.
Whatever.

Who came up with the stupid "Sultan of symmetry" nickname?
-
What has he done for money in his post bb life? No way he made enough when he was competing to never work again. Especially considering he bought stupid flashy cars and similar nonsense. Add to that all his health issues and hospital bills

Prep coach! And I’m not kidney kidding

Lose the fur coat there fruitcake.

I agree with the award for Flex the bodybuilder, his build and look at its very peak is up there with the very best physiques ever, he certainly would have beaten Cutler and Heath with his 93 Arnold Ironman look.
But as a person, you will find out very hard to find anyone who liked Flex outside of Rico, and his hood rat homies, the award would fit more with Chris who whilst not being as good as flex at his best was way more consistent over a much longer period of time.
What is exactly is a lifetime award anyway Flex went to hard to quick, had hardly any longevity and never trained when not fully gased, he really was all over in 3-5 years

Exactly. When they say symmetry they always mean aesthetics. That is somewhat subjective although some things seem to be somewhat universal.

no he wouldn't

I saw some interview, I think by Dennis and Flex had a swollen face, I guess due to recent filler injections. I think Dennis did too, they both kept smacking their lips. Flex looked like a child Michael Jackson.
But what I saw in the interview was someone very fake. I can't list all the reasons for thinking this but that was my impression: total fake. Flex said he was a fake back in the day but he still is IMO.
-
no he wouldn't

Easily but only in that shape from early 93, even the Olympia that same year he was off his best and just got worse as he got heavier. :)
Heath and Cutler were sub par to Yates era, Ronnie also beats them. they are both better than the last two winners though

Thought he was 2nd three times at the O.
Once to Doz and twice to big Ron.

Kenneth would have been Mr O a couple times except for a genetic Mutant - Ron Coleman.
If it wasn’t for Kevin telling Ron how to get to get to the next level maybe Kenneth would have been known differently.

That look when you lost your legs and kidneys and you're broke.... And all you get is a stupid plate from a multimillionaire :-[

First saw Flex at Golds Venice in the summer of 1990. His “symmetry” was already crystal clear. He was sub-200 but he looked crazy.
We became friendly- never friends really. He never came to my house in Venice. I never went to his house. We did train together a few times. Did a few small deals.
His symmetry. Guys it was a result of nothing he did. He trained very normal. No secrets. No crazy weights. No five hour sessions. Nothing out of the ordinary. The way he looked- that symmetry- was just the way he looked. Mom & Dad get full credit.
I wish Flex well.

It's a pretentious bodybuilding snobbery word that funnily enough has been used in the wrong sense of the word for decades

Ah, yes. The Lifetime Achievement Award. Bodybuilding’s version of the Medal of Honor!
Didn’t he take a shrapnel to the leg at the Battle of the Bulge? ???
If so, this is well-deserved IMHO
I don’t use the word “hero” very often, but…..

Tough crowd here. ;D

Did you ever catch a shower together ala Arnold and Franco? Did you ever hit side by side urinals? Surely you snuck a peek. What kind of cock was he sporting back then?

For all his “symmetry”, Flex abs were askew.

He should be given more, he almost died for us
-
no he wouldn't

Agree
Phil Heath at his 2011/2012 form would beat flex, cutler at his 2001 and 2009 will beat flex also
I don’t like cutler’s physique either
-

Phil 2011/2012 is very hard to beat, I prefer flex 93 form but that wouldn’t beat Phil, Phil’s bigger, more conditioned, has every body part despite narrow but flex is also not very wide either
Cutler, I hate his physique but that 2001 and 2009 form is better than flex as well
-

This is what I want to know as well
Urinals and showers
Flex was pretty big in the cock department, thick I would say, not huge in length
Ronnie, Levrone, flex, all have good “size”
Dorian was average to slightly below average, Nasser was equipped with a “cute” mini water gun
-
:D

What did Flex achieve? Being the biggest retard in the IFBB HOF?

I don't recall you getting a big plate for blowing out your kidneys.
Perhaps you are jealous?

Looks like it must've been really fucking cold up on stage the way Kenneth is wrapped up. ::)

He looks like a moron.
Even with a wrecked body and smoked internal organs, a failed marriage and dwindling financial opportunities, Ken is still trying to come off like some coolio celebrity.
Maybe he arrived in his sweet 25-year-old ride with the 50-thousand-dollar stereo system to collect his big plate.

Leave Hankins out of this!

Flex himself also started talking too much around Ronnie at one of the shows. Flex just had to talk and show-off. He just had to inadvertently tell Ronnie the amounts that he used for the show.
Ronnie was like “Oh damn, so it’s like that? Ok.”
Ronnie then implemented the elevated dosages, and was basically unbeatable.
