You can see he isn't as light or as crisp as the 93 AC, where he weighed 216 (in 97 he was 224, and was training with Shawn Ray), but he came in one of best shapes ever

And you've got monsters walkin' around on the IFBB stage ( same height, mind you ) 250 + lbs. that look like complete garbage and then some. The Sultan Of Symmetry, meanwhile, looks friggin' awesome under 225. Yup ! Bb'ing sure has taken a turn for the better ........................ ..

Too small and no chest, would have gotten smoked if he competed at the 97 Olympia. His 98 and 99 versions are much better in pure bbing termo IMO. Still a very pleasant physique.

Btw Parker, have you ever started a thread about a white bber?

Too small? He beat the 280 pound Nasser and won the Most Muscular award. Had he competed at the 97 O at   slightly better condition, he would have done well...but the Ninjas took care of him...

and yes, I have started threads about Mike Francois (who beat Flex at the 95 AC), and Dennis Newman.

lol we all know these "prizes" are pure bs. Also, Flex knew he would get smashed at the 97 Mr O, thats why he hired ninjas to beat him up and give him an excuse.

At the '99 Olympia the added size to his shoulders and arms could be attributed to SEO. His thighs were noticably down from 1998.

I believe there is a vote and Arnold has a say in it, I don't know, but, Flex was more striated, more conditioned...


Flex effed up on his diet, screwing himself up---so he ca e up with that bs after hitting a wall or window.

Here he is at the 93 Ironman, take a look at Paul

Dillet looks retarded big, its very strange his bad placing, its true that for whatever reason his physique had zero flow in mosts poses but even so he deserved to be ranked higher.

Flex hands down the most aesthetic bber physique ever, no question about it.
