i follow that channel, his commentary makes me laugh but i think he knows next to nothing about bodybuilding

i prefer Mr. Levrone he had a very full look that year but would be considered soft, flex was more hard aside from his horrible hams but wouldn't be surprised if judges gave it to flex

I gave Levrone the front double bicep, front lat spread, rear lat spread, most muscular, side tricep, and side chest.

And standing relaxed, he dwarfed Flex. Levrone’s traps overwhelmed Flex’s traps

It's close, by today's judging standards I think Levrone would get the nod.

The judges today are so off mark they would probably put one of today's bloated insulin pigs above 93 flex.

Branch warren would beat 93 flex in today’s judging

I am more of a levrone fan BUT from a purely bodybuilding perspective Flex blows him away here. His flow and balance shoulder to waist to thigh ratios back development just...you can only criticize his soft hams otherwise he was awesome. Kevin on the other hand really did not fill out his frame. He could have really changed the game and never did. Flex on the other hand got nearer to max development i think.

Now, Levrone 96 arnold is whooping on anything Flex ever brought on game day 100% zero doubt about it. That would have been a fairer comparison i think.

Dude ifbb judges have to judge what they get standing in front of them. Its not like ifbb judging created lazy insulin abusing walking disasters. Cheap AAS and lack of work ethic are probably more responsible.

Wheeler 93 wins, I still think leverone 92 was kevins best ever, his legs never looked the same as he got heavier especially hamstrings glutes.

92 conditioning was his best BUT 96 he was pretty close and much fuller with quite a bit more muscle overall. If we are really being honest kevin never really improved over his career from 92. He got a little bigger but really he turned out to be a disappointment.

his best conditioning was 92 and that year is my favorite look,  but i don't think that look would place top 5 after 93 because the sport changed a lot within that one year with everybody chasing dorian's size

he improved with what the judges were looking for, his best contest look was in the 97 european tour shows, he also said in 92 he suffered so much that getting into that conditioning wasn't worth it

i always thought 93 flex was overrated, just doesn't look strong overall  and the arms are oversized

93 flex was awesome. You are entitled to your opinion but i disagree.

It would be interesting to know how levrone dieted in 92. Like, whats his definition of suffering? What did he have to do? He really looked amazing. All these years later its still damned impressive.

i'm not saying 93 flex sucked, i just don't think it is one of the best ever like many others do

his later versions were better, aside from the synthol, i like 98 ironman best

it was probably just diuretics that caused him to suffer
