very true, but the guy competed almost 10 years after that and was never again able to reach that same level of conditioning...
Flex was able to duplicate it at the 97 Arnold, except he had less traps than he did in 93. His 95 condition at the Arnold was good well. It was said if he came in at the 98 O like his 98 Arnold condition (232 shredded), he would have won the show
in his dreams.
1. guy had more oil and nolotil in his muscle than any other pro card holder i have ever seen. very artifical look.
That was in 99, not 93-98, as was said before Flex got desperate, think about it Flex was coming in at 242 pounds, way too heavy, because it was not gradually added on. Flex i believe might have won one, but as was stated earlier, preparing for Flex is diff than preparing for Jay. WIth Jay, Ron had to be big, freaky, and conditioned, with Flex, Ron had to have a more pleasing physique, while maintaining conditioning, and beating Flex's key bodyparts--arms, double cross striated quads, and back detail.
