How does Flex Wheeler respond to criticism that he never made the best of his...

genetics. Even his 'buddies' like Dorian Yates said this when asked who of his generation had the best genetics. I wonder how Flex responds to this as every Tom Dick and Harry says that he is amazing but he never made the best of his potential...

He didn't use his potential? He's a multiple ASC winner. That says enough.

I never recalled Shawn saying he would train brutally hard and diet after he retired but Flex said it while competing.  Flex never won an O because he never fulfilled his potential, Shawn got overlooked because he didn't play the mass game and, frankly, because he was short.  That's the difference.

It was in a Flex Mag interview of Shawn, which was after the Flex Wheeler statement. Shawn criticized Flex for saying he was going to stop training after he retired. Shawn said it was part of the sport and the whole "how dare you" mentality. One should continue to train as Shawn saw it. Yet it was Shawn that quite, right away. Yes he's trying to get in shape, but Flex has always been active...I guess he needed the money, so that is why Flex was still working out

the diuretics killed Kenny, you bastards.   

The guy lived and trained irresponsibly and never thought about building on his genetics over a long period of time instead he took shitloads of everything and burnt out, trying to get rich, instead of one day being the best. The guy is a complete cockhead and the only thing he has going for him is Mad and her family, very few have ever known him and like him and nothings changed.

That and a neck broken in two places. I think he tried too hard by putting too much emphasis on making a quick comeback and abused what you said. I think Flex should have taken two years off to heal and grow. But I don't think he could have afforded to because Weider docked his  contract by at least a 3rd. So he had to "grind".
