How would Flex do on the regular AC lineup?

[Karl Kox]

Or the open at the Olympia?

Judges today are size queens.  Unless you get a group of ventriloquism enthusiasts, well... 'Nuff said.

Flex Wheeler would take 1st thru 10th place, at the AC and the Olympia.

I think he was speaking of "Wee Flex", not "Ninja Flex".

Ah yes, Faux Flex...

If they would judge it like a bb contest should be judged, he would win. Conditioning, symmetry, size (not absolute muscle mass but size in relation to height/frame), shape and structure. Mark down for synthol, muscle tears (been letting those slide since Yates), and guts. I def bust on midget bb's as much as anyone but Flex looks amazing to me, I don't care how short he is

[Cleanest Natural]

he could be top 6 maybe.. arms flexed and the shape of a sausage

[DroppingPlates]

He would prob don't do well, even in optimum conditioning. Guys like Phil, Kai, Dennis, etc will blow him away in size.

True.  I doubt that what you describe will happen as we are dealing with super size queen schmoes here (judges) who have a grossly unnatural perverted lust for overly developed bodies with fat guts and even fatter asses.  It's like those guys that find women with 50 EEE breasts  or SSBBWs "attractive".  Disgusting fetishists.  Might be proof of "demonic possession" for all I know...    Freaking gross on both sides.   John had a term for it but I can't recall it.

Isnt that a problem though? Save for Dex, who's past his prime, what is better about the guy's you mentioned? They are taller, that's it. Although they were never given first, short guys like Gaspari, Labrada, and Ray got runner up spots in the Olympia nevermind the AC. Shoot what did Labrada weigh, 176lbs? The judging keeps getting worse and is the number one reason this "sport" is about dead and buried. If they weren't rewarded for it, guys would have no reason to be walking pharmacies

Ninja Flex HAR! What year was that, 94-95? I don't know what's more embarrassing Flex actually making up that story or me, as a teen, reading about it in Flex magazine and not thinking there was anything strange about a grown man being attacked by ninjas. No wait I know, it's def me that's more embarrassing

'Problem'? The only problem I see is that you can't compare a 212 with a 250-300 pound guy. The 'what's better?' discussion is completely useless, since bodybuilding is a subjective sport. Some people like this, others like that, which is fine.

Lee Labrada wiped the floor with a lot of them at 185

He brought the conditioning, balance and presentation, but he was only impressive while flexing.
