Flex Wheeler Addresses Size Of Forearms

[Parker]

I'm disappointed, I was hoping he said the Ninjas played a part in this...

He doesn't dare mention them by name in public anymore.

[ESFitness]

None of his vids show him doing forearm work. There might be vids of him doing hammer curls, and that's it.

That's what I thought..  He's saying they grow so fast, well if that's the case you'd think he would be mentioned that sometime over the last 27-28yrs. He's mentioned previously multiple times about how his Buys in tries grow very quickly yet we see dozens and dozens of videos of him training arms.

I just th I k his forearms are small because he's carrying a lot lot lot less body weight. I'm curious to see what his legs are going to look like kind of recently there is somebody who posted an Instagram video or something of themselves poolside somewhere and flex was in the background wearing baggy shorts and had his leg up and you could see his calf and it looked to be about 15 to 17 inches maybe

[Bevo]

Also this kinda proves that Flex has been paying attention to social media and what's being said about him on the boards... Kinda interestimg

They all do, Kevin in his recent pics have to remind everyone every chance he gets that his body is responding to the heavy training

They are bbers, majority are insecure, their egos feed off of those morons on social media, no different than rich guys that have to remind people how rich and successful they are

Flex never struck me as the type to do direct forearm work. Not unless it was for a photoshoot. This is the same guy who wouldn't do heavy barbell rows.
He had also stopped doing squats after he broke his neck.

Apparently he didn't need them

Actually they probably would have helped him because if you look at what's impressive about flexes back it's not his lats or his rhomboids it's the detail and separation in his teres group.

(I'm aware the lats arnt the prime movers in a bent over row.. Rhomboids are. .. plexus rhomboids were separated but they always lacked the thickness and density of the guys he was on stage against. Looking at Flex from straight on he looked impressive but if you moved off to the side and saw a 3/4 of you or saw him from the side completely he looked thin. It was the separation in his upper back that Drew your eyes in and gave the illusion of width and Mass)

They lacked the thickness & density of the guys he competed with? Perspective , he was 35+/- lbs lighter than Yates & Ronnie at the same height , of course he's back isn't doing to be as thick or dense.

Flex said in a recent vid that he was 214 at the 93 Arnold. That kinda puts things in perspective. And his claim onstage to Arnold that he had 23 inch arms

[jwb]

He has creeping forearm syndrome just like most other pros from the 90's and plenty of today's older pro like Branch.

Dozens of partial tears over the years add up to no forearms at age 50. Shit it was even starting to happen to Dorian the last two years he competed and he has zero forearms now. Same with Gaspari.

What? Forearms are about ALL that Dorian has left.

[NarcissisticDeity]

No he's right Dorian's forearms are gone , his calves are still there

[jwb]

No he's right Dorian's forearms are gone , his calves are still there

not to mention his triceps. I thought he only tore the left one? The right looks funky.

[muscleman-2017]

[falco]

If multiple tears is what causes the forearm shrinkage, wouldn't the forearms of a old strict bicep curl powerlifter be worse?



He is older than Flex or Dorian, and still banging on heavy.

My take is the growth hormone usage will lead to wrist nerve damage, due to bone growth, in that area.

Great observation right there .


WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Why do you upload photos from your family album? Do you really think that we are interested how you spend your Christmas?

He does, he is very kinky

Wheeler is addressing the forearm issue.

[Fortress]

Didn't watch the video, but is this guy serious?! It's almost inconceivable that any serious weight trainer wouldn't have developed forearms to some degree. With no direct attention.

Wheeler is an imbecile.

Did you know him at all in your Musclemag days?  In recent years, he claimed that, even at his best, he was the most insecure man-boy to walk the planet.  Maybe that was true -- many of the seemingly cockiest fuckers are mentally soft -- but I don't really care why he acted the way he did ... he strutted around like a complete douchebag 'til he got sick.  Only *then* did he play the humble card, just like that moron prick Tom Prince   (MA in English, indeed.  Even the dumbest English undergrads typically know adding an apostrophe "s" doesn't pluralize a word.  Those wacky pro's!)

If that were true, Flex would be asked what his forearm training routine is. Especially since his forearm in that pic, rivals his upper arms.
