Wheeler has 2 arnold classic titles---1997 and 1998---he beat levrone in 97'

Levrone has 2 arnold classic titles---1994 and 1996----he beat wheeler in 96'

very close competitive record----------

Flex...................

Kevin had great shoulders/arms yet had a "middleweights torso" also in later years his legs were a lagging bodypart

Flex had a narrow shoulder structure yet had insane (never seen before) "roundness" to his muscle bellies

Flex looked like a cartoon come to life!

great point mike----------------

Flex's waist size also helped create that illusion--------he always looked like he weighed 20lbs heavier than he really did

It's called "synthol".

If Flex would have taken his training more seriously I think he would have at least 1 or possibly 2 Mr. O titles...

Mars · « **Reply #8 on:** July 06, 2007, 08:47:57 AM »

I always wondered how levrone would have looked if he trained year round.

Luv_2build · « **Reply #9 on:** July 06, 2007, 10:25:12 AM »

I think Kevin had more potential. As mentioned already he only trained part of the year. also Flex who had an amazing BDB had a very weak rear lat spread.

Rich2 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 06, 2007, 10:41:16 AM »

i definitely think the term "wasted potential" is wrong for this discussion. these two guys pretty much pushed their potential to the limit and had a reasonable amount of longevity (about a decade for Flex and 10+ years for Kev). they both won the second most prestigious title in BBing multiple times, and came just short of winning the O. thats not wasted potential in my book.

wheeler had far far more potential. it wasn't even close.

levrone was a fanatastic pro bber, but he didn't have flex's sweeping lines, small joints and full muscle bellies.

there was nothing particularly dramatic about levrone (by comparison) apart from his tris (bis were flat as a pancake).

Bluto · « **Reply #12 on:** July 06, 2007, 10:51:02 AM »

didnt both deserve to win mr olympia at one time or more

so then its more about the judges

It's called you don't know what you are talking about. He had the round muscle bellies before synthol

Flex has 4 Arnold Classics, the 1996 Arnold was controversal because bothe Flex and Levrone looked good, but Flex had a "bloated" or bulked looked to him.I would have given the nod to Kevin as well. By 1997, Flex had regained his conditioning for the Arnold. I also believe, like Lee Haney said, that Flex shoulld have won the 1995 Arnold Classic as well.

I don't beleive neither had wasted their potential, except Flex in 1998, both Flex and Levrone were never picked by the judges to be Mr. O, so it was the judges fault, not the competitors.

this is impressive

Luv_2build · « **Reply #16 on:** July 06, 2007, 12:03:07 PM »

thats a very impressive pic. what year/show was that from?

Mars · « **Reply #17 on:** July 06, 2007, 12:06:36 PM »

I think Kenneth was the only one who get away with synthol usage.

jaejonna · « **Reply #18 on:** July 06, 2007, 12:19:51 PM »

Kevin is a movie star though...

genrommel74 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 06, 2007, 12:34:16 PM »

I think that they both didnt take there training as seriously as they should have and if either had taken there training more serious both could have a olympia statue. But i think kevin had more wasted potential

Mars · « **Reply #20 on:** July 06, 2007, 12:37:28 PM »

In that video of flex he was really training like a wuss. what genetics drugs nubain and synthol can do.

Many other ifbb pros have stated that Flex had unreal genetics, but his training was far under par...I know a few guys in the gyms around where I live that just throw around a few light weights and they have amazing physiques...Genetics can be very gracious to some individuals....

Stupid. You think pros show you the real stuff in their training videos.

You are those who probably think pornstars fuck as they do in porn videos.

Epic Retardedness.

Hope this helps.

Mars · « **Reply #23 on:** July 06, 2007, 12:52:53 PM »

I didn't even talked whether pros show their stuff in the videos, i only said that flex trains like a wuss in these video's. wtf is your point?
