I just uploaded this clip to YouTube of the heavyweight class from the 1991 NPC Nationals:

Highlights include:
Ronnie Coleman with hair coming in 4th place.
Flex Wheeler's haircut and statement about legally changing his name to "Flex".
Levrone saying he "drug" it out, no pun intended  ;D.

That was awesome!  I believe that's when ronnie was natural.  Didn't have the crazy back back then but you can see the potential.  Being that big natural you can see why he's so HUGE now!!

Thanks!!!

haha notice how Flex barely acknowledges Levrone at the end. As if he is forced to do it.

That must have been the best lineup ever if scott mendanhall takes 5th you know its a tuff one!
just push some weight!

great video

LEVRONE is amazing...he had huge legs back then

back then colemans back was his weakpoint...it was wide, but didn't have any thickness...who would have thought he would be one of the greatest ever

  • Your best is...

Wow!! :o  That was one helluva lineup! :o

Was that the most competitive national lineup?  Most of those guys ended up going pro.

I thought it was funny that the outcome with Flex and Kevin happened EXACTLY the same way at the 95 Arnold...Flex made the same look when he lost to Kevin ;D
just not good enough

Over the next decade that weightclass was to write some of the most significant chapters of bodybuilding's history to date.   :o

Very good clip, Rammer.

This YouTube phenomenon's the best thing to happen to bodybuilding in a long while, IMO.  It's just what the sport needed.  The opportunity for the sport's reflection on it's past has never been more present.  Seeing it now from our current perspective offers us alot of insight.  I'm gonna predict right now that we see another golden era emerge in the sport over the next 2-3 years, so look for the superheavyweight national-level classes to be pretty badass by 2008-2009.  It'll be interesting to say the least.   ;)

I remember back in the day when there was an ad in Muscle Media 2000(might have been for MetRx) challenging anyone to prove Ronnie wasn't natural. If you paid for it Ronnie would take any drug test, any time, any where and if he failed it you were awarded $10,000.
