The current crop of bbuilders, apart from Ronnie, Dexter and Jay, are a bunch of w*nkers dragging the "sport" down. With Yates on the cover I might pick it up again. It just seems more credible.

FLEX sucks! They're clearly running out of athletes to put on the cover.

thats only because you can't see his quads or upper body.

just like Dennis James, he looks great mostly covered up.

His calves were probably the best ever though :o.

You guys ever notice how we never talk about content of FLEX magazine?  Every good quote or tidbit of information comes from MD, not FLEX.

nah, I'm okay, since I know that Dorian will never have ronnie's quads, chest, arms, glutes, hams, striations, vascularity or taper 8)

It makes it all okay ;D

That is more than obvious!

no, I just can't say anything positive about Dorian since he represents ND's fantasy fuck buddy :D.

oh, and don't forget, according to the ironagers, I am deranged! 8)

BINGO! just proves the point that the current champs are ...dare I say...too massive and freaky to sell mags and be marketable.

We all know you are a Ronnie fan but that statement is dumber than  ND saying Dorien has better arms than Ronnie! Although I saw where he was coming from on that.

Right. And Dorian was SO marketable with his beautiful shape and structure.  ::)

No he was extremely marketable due to coming off as ultra hardcore and a cool ass dude 8) The blue collar BB that looked tough as nails.

So, obviously, Flex is taking MD's lead and posting a pic of its upcoming rag.  And, of course, it attracts the haters!  Dorian was an amazing Mr. Olympia.  His training was brutal.  His condition was the best ever.  I'm glad we get to have him on another cover.  Just for those calves it's worth it!
Title: Re: the new FLEX magazine is out with yates on cover...

I think its fair to say that Yates' training was a little too brutal
Title: Re: the new FLEX magazine is out with yates on cover...
Post by: sculpture on May 11, 2006, 11:37:29 AM
Is FLEX even a legitimate magazine?

No real life info, blatant disregard for reality, no steroids etc etc. Just who is teh target audience outside of easily led teenagers fed on the bullshit that you can build a physique of a champion by eating 6 meals a day, training hard and stacking creatine with glutamine?

I have never seen Dorian wear those sneakers before...they must photoshop.

Nice cover! Dorian is looking good.

We actually don't post our covers on the forums, they leak out from cover tests, we actually have them removed in some cases so they don't get out too early then people wonder why a certain cover they saw isn't on the stands.

the new Flex kinda sucks, Troy Alves back training, Mustafa chest training, Dugdale traps and the Dorian back article is just him training James "Flex" Lewis, not the worst issue i've ever seen but not good enough to buy it.

Dude you have no idea what youre talking about! I think you are mentally sick. If you ever saw him up close or even watched him compete you would realize how dumb you always sound. This is getting out of control. Ask Levrone, Wheeler, Nasser, Dillett, Coleman, Ray, or Haney about Yates' thighs and they will all tell you that they were huge.

this is a great cover, and a smart move for FLEX.  dorian here doesnt look overpowering but he looks fucking awesome.   he's big, ripped and strong.  he's wearing normal gym clothes like anyone might actually wear.  he's not posing, hes concentrating on lifting some good weight (probably rowing).  he's what someone buying flex might aspire to, or think they have a realistic goal of achieving.  most importantly its relatable.  we've all been in that spot in the gym before.


and its not two queer shirtless dudes in cutoff jean shorts pretending to grab each others throats, or ronnie coleman incline benching 500 pounds with oakley sunglasses on--- totally unrealistic and just plain strange.
