holy hell.gus is looking huge
-
more
-
yeah he is big I bet he has more than enough strength to use a caliper to measure BF. If he measure you at 0.0% you know it's the real deal.
-
Shit.........Gustavo looks damn good.... He better keep that giant gut under controll though.
-
I don t like his the way he smiles.
-

he's smilling like he knows a secret. Maybe he knows something about the lowest caliper reading ever.
-
Huge!
But in that last pic, you can see that he needs to keep that chin down to a 2 or 3 on the Jay Cutler Chin Sizmograph, or it'll start to get out of control.
If we were going to caliper him you probably would want to measure that Chin. The problem is you would have a hard time making sense of the reading because I don't think there is statistical information avalible to convert a chin caliper reading into info on BF. Maybe we could just take measurements of pictures of Flex at the 93 O to form a baseline.
-
I think he was at 0.00% at the time. Would that suffice as a proper baseline?
it would be perfect. Cutler could ba a basis for comparison at the other end as you suggested. Maybe Leno to give us an idea of the far right tail of the curve.
-
With Beaker (from the Muppets) as a 0. And Cutler at, what? about an 8. And Leno at the top with a 10.
So Gustavo would be approx 6-7. Confirming what I said: another 2-3 points on the Jay Cutler Chin Sizmograph would put him in the lead.
He's cutting it close, but he just might win the O!
you know they had an O back in 93 too. There was some excellent reporting that night.
-
By the way, did Gustavo improved in english ?

i dont know, did billy smith measured flex wheeler 0.0% BF

Where are all those retards that said he looked like shit in the previous set of pics.... ::)

they are probably busy fact checking claims made by Jim Quinn during the 93 O telecast
-
Highly overrated imho

just so I can get an idea of your opinion, you suggest that it is humble, tell me, do you trust Billy smith's ability to use calipers, say back in 93?
-
i know alot can be done in the last few weeks these days with diuretics etc but he looks no-where near ripped enough for being 3 weeks out imo
-

a lot can be done in a few weeks but it takes months to get to 0.0 BF . I bet Flex had been dieting since January 0f 93
-
3 weeks? i would have guessed about 5...However Milos can do wonders to get that water out so im sure he won't have a problem getting dry...His legs look pretty soft to me though however it may just be the lights and the fact he is in need of a tan...

One man trusted Billy Smith's ability to use calipers back in 1993, and that man was Jim Quinn.

This is the start of an epic poem. Epic on the scale of Alexandria's ancient library, or more so epic on the scale of Flex Wheeler and his pre 93-O lack of BF.

Wow this guy is a pure magic.
A month ago looked like a crapp and now.....
Boooooommm!!Looks great!

no pure magic begets pure results. Flex must have had Merlin in his corner back in 93 becaue he was pure muscle, 0.0% BF, now that is pure magic.

Yes. But,Flex looks good even if he is fat.(Maybe ,because of his crazy muscle tone..)
But,Gustavo looks really bad(I mean he looks smaller than he is) when he is fat.

hold the phone you mean gustavo at one point was fat, that is he consisted entirely of fat? that is like a bizarro Flex, tell me did Gustavo achieve 100% adiposity in 1939 in the country of Venice city of California in a gym called Lead?

Hey, I am sorry for exgerating. Of course he doesnt look bad and never bee fat.
Just for being Top contender of Olympia,Looked bad comparing with DJ,Cutler,Coleman....

it's hard not to speak in hyperbolic terms when talking about the hypo-adipose 93 0.0% BF flex wheeler

i think the mods should give you some time out you are so fucking enoying
-
he looks to be 6-7 weeks out
-
i think the mods should give you some time out you are so fucking enjoying
here I fixed it for you. You need that j worse than Flex needed his last bits of visceral fat, way back in 93 when he was down to 0.0 on the calliper
-
He'll look great a week or two after the Olympia though, those European shows are his baby!
-
WOW !
he will look great at the O
monster arms ! :o
-
He doesn't make me go, 'Wow! Big change!'. He looks the same. Good, but the same.
-
He has the taper of a cigar
-
Gus looks to be coming in ok, but has a water issue. This seems to be a recurring theme with him, so maybe he loads his diet with sodium right up to the show, and then pulls it while dropping water. This makes sense if he is able to retain fullness while doing this.
His gut looks ok, better than when at it's worst, but likely not as flat as last year. His legs and glutes are holding most of the fat/water left.
My guess is he'll look totally different onstage. Let's wait and see.
-
Amazing streamlining of the waist in these last few weeks.
I was ready to write Badell of, his waist looked much wider in the previous set of pics.
In these pics, the gut is still bulging somewhat, but it is in some weird way not as wide. Incredible work.
Sarcev will have guys beating down his door if Badell improves at the same pace all the way into the Olympia, and Badell will be a contender for some good placing.
But the back is less than stellar IMO...
YIP

hahaha your right his chin looks morphed in that last picture, lol he needs to keep that chin in check.
-

Not magic, just growth hormone and insulin. Nevertheless, he thinks he will be mr. O, cause Ronnie ain't doing so well this year, but he is wrong. I guess that a surprise will happen this year!
-
No back, no hamstrings and no stage personality. Not sure his strong points can offset these weak points.
-keep it real-
-
waist, fat gut, and legs look to be the problem.
I dont get what the big deal is about this guy. He's not pleasing to my eyes one bit, who knows I bet wrong on this one, but he doesnt have a top 5 olympia physique in my book.
-
Poor hams and glutes.. Mediocre back size and detail..
Great arms though.. and his gut is still big
-

That's a real-life Dudley Do-Right chin if I ever saw one!
-
same 'ol, same 'ol, looks exactly the same as he always does to me minus the tan.

Are you trying to attract attention or something? I mean everything you post has to do about 93 flex at 0.0% and you don't make sense while writing it. So STOP! It's obvious that english is not your first language so don't try to use words you don't understand.

The only word that keeps occuring to my mind when I look at those pics of Gustavo is
Cattle

it's because he's 100% natural
-
I think that dude will win the Mr. O
-
Yeah, he will win the O when Ronnie is done...
-
He should retire.
-
Ronnie or gustavo?
-
Gustavo, he's done..
-
it looks a little more than 3 weeks out to me
-

You can't really tell from condition how far out some one is. Take Flex Wheeler back in 93 for example. In the weeks before the O he was reportedly at 0.0% BF, so you probably would have guessed that he was on contest day 0 days out. In fact though, he migh have been at Gold's just getting his BF measured by Billy Smith.
-
i know i was thinking more like 6 weeks

just curious, whats the deal with the Flex bashing? its all pretty moot and retarded.

gayer than fat free yogurt...

gayer than custard style yogurt with fresh cut fruit on top. Gayer than Billy Smith felt as he fruitlessly tried to find fat on 93 flex wheeler who at the time was "sin halo" to borrow the phrase of an illustrious commentator.

Gayer then fat free cheese.

i need not say more...
-

need not want not. That's the secret to dieting and getting your BF low. I hear Flex really knew how to diet. in fact back in 93 he dieted FTW all the way to 0.0% BF.
-
gayer than a bumper sticker that says "I like balls in my face"
-
He's really got to learn bow to do a proper side chest shot for christ's sake. I swear the only pro who does it right anymore is Cormier.
-
While I have no doubt he will come in much sharper he looks pretty smooth for 3 weeks.
-
should work on forearms. why do so many bb's neglect them?
-
dude gustavo knows wat he is doing..just wait and see wat he looks like at the olympia..it seems gus is planning to come in huge this olympia..he looked kinda flat at the arnold classic 2006..maybe he wants to come in big and i think so gustavo is on track..gus rulz

did anyone hear about flex wheelers bodyfat, any info on that.

Does my hand count? :D

He does look smooth for 3 weeks out but I am guessing he mainly just holding a lot of water. Probably will be very different at the O. Arms are huge!
Someone said his hams are bad....have you missed his side chest shots? The man has some of the most impressive hams and adductors in the business. Maybe you mean detail from the back, then I would agree (in these pics).
-
can't wait for this years contest! Everyone's looking pretty good and there is so many competitors.
-
im not a badell fan but i ahve to admit he looks crazy in those pics
-

I'd have to agree with you ...Dennis James is one that also looks great a few weeks out and on the day of the contest something bad happens.
-
his back isnt even close to cutler or ronnie...he will be 3rd or 4th...
forearms suck also
-
For better or worse (and I think worse) each Mr. Olympia has taking the freaky quotient up quite a notch from the previous champ. I don’t see how that can continue given Ronnie’s physique.. Gus looks great but even at his best he’s not even close to Ronnie.
-
Gus is overrated to the extreme. The only thing that jumps out at you is his thick abdomen. Plus,he's a penis.
-
Gustavo is packing more muscle than ever. The waist will be tighter in 3 weeks and he'll look awesome.
-
Not touching Ronnie, end of story. Control that gut is the key. :-X

I agree he's not touching Ronnie, but why is controling that gut key? Ronnie's gut is way outta control.
-
He is way too fat for 3 weeks out. 2-3 weeks out Dorian was READY for the Olympia, he said they could have put him on stage the next day he would have won.
-

Ronnie needs to control his abs-
-

We're obviously not questioning the 1st place spot (Ronnie) but 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place spot is wide open (well Dexter is probably 2nd) so he needs to control his gut if he wants to hit the top 4 (2nd,3rd, or 4th)

Gustavo looks 60.very sad.

Show me three 60 year olds who look like Gus.
People often make comments like this about competitors but most often they are based on unflatting photos, when the BB is shredded, covered in artificial tanning oils, and under harsh light. If you see most of these guys from day to day in normal light, when they’re not shredded they look pretty much like everyone else.

this guy looks awful
he is the most overrated bb i've ever seen

Gustavos precontest pics always look like this. Holding heaps of water. Come contest time with diruetics he will look shredded and will get a top 5 spot at the O without doubt

holy hell.gus is looking huge
All of the Cutler bashers better take a look at this monster of CLAY. He literally looks like someone took lumps of clay and made a bodybuilder. IF these pics are were in fact taken 3 weeks out, then this dude has NO chance.....no even close to what Cutler looks like. AGAIN.....I'm not totally believing the dates of any of these pics.
In Cutler's video for "One Step Closer", he was much more striated two weeks out than he was in these pics...
I'm not buyin' it.......if anything, he's 4 weeks out in those pics.
