Flex Wheeler at 23

[mesmorph78]

To me it was Flex's overall flow, the sum of the parts equalled something that just, flowed for lack of better term. Sure I like arms, but I tell you. Had Flex won in 1998, it would have changed the game to where guys would come in lighter and there would be less chasing for freaky size and there would be less of the guts we see today. Once Ronnie won, he was such a freak, that not even Flex could unseat him.

be real it's the arms.... Cormier has a better balanced phsique than flex but because his chest matches his arms and his arms aren't outsizing his torso he doesn't get the accolade of most symetrical
arm fetish

Cormier had a physique that was well balanced, but there was a reason why he stood in Flex's shadow, Cormier like Ronnie needed to be in the 250+ range to be competitive, and still he looked like he should be 275. I think he should have won more shows, and he I think he should have beaten Flex at the 2000 Arnold.

Flex has a taper that Cormier lacks, plus cross striated legs and a tad more detailed back. Arms both match. chest goes to Cormier. Abs both equal, Lats go to Cormier. Overall flow Flex...it's kinda like how people say BMW has a certain "feel" to it, compared to other cars...

Cormier was one of my favorites as well, highly under rated, even though he won the ironman 5 times. I firmly believe he should have won the Arnold against Jay Cutler, and had he kept growing and stated on course, he would have eclipsed Flex.

I'm still laughing at Flex 1993 and Shawn 94 are very close hehehehehehehe 

just keep laughing.

because no one else is:

shawn's physique was amazing and could possibly beat flex. hell, his rear double bi shot is arguably better, thanks to better glutes/hams/calves. flex's were non existant across the board..or filled with oil...

I think Flex edges Shawn out in the back double bi

Flex was great for 3 years, Shawn Ray had a 14 yr career where he won 4 shows because he chose to enter the big one.
had he entered the other smaller shows, he would've won much more, instead he looked after his career, retired as gracefully as he came into the sport, and didnt make an embarrassment of himself. A real pro.
made more money winning much less shows than Flex during his careeer, than Flex will make in his life.
definitely top 20 pro bodybuilder

He did enter a few "smaller" shows, unfortunately, Flex and Kev entered them as well. I think it was a Ironman and Arnold, I remember them, because Flex had the Lambchop Sideburns

Wow. Absolutely incredible. Too bad he later ruined it with synthol.

Did you notice his weight/height? He was only 198 lbs at 5' 11". Really shows you how much people on this board and pros are lying about their weight.

You can also see he was naturally pretty narrow but made his delts so big that as a pro he looked wide shouldered.

All Eciline and Synthol!!

Yeah, at the 1992 USAs he was listed as 5'10 235, but he never was 235, he was about 215 at that contest.

1997 Mr. Olympia, before the "Ninjas" got him...
