Is Flex a horrible person?

[emn1964]

He's not a horrible person, just really a sad and pathetic figure.  Kenny's entire sense of self worth is drerived from what others think about his body.  Just think how insecure he must be.  In ten years he will probably just kill himself because no one is looking at him-that is if he doesn't die from renal failure.

I never saw the fuss over Flex's physique.

What ever did happen with that shirt coming off in Aug O7, I saw the ad for it in MD.

just more Flex Wheeler bullshit

[bigdumbbell]

no but the magazine is horrible

[gtbro1]

I don't know how horrible he is...but he IS the only man to ever reach 0.0% body fat level. He did it in 1993 before the Mr. Olympia.

[Parker]

I don't think he is a horrible person.  He's just not that smart.

Spoken from a person that probably knows more about Flex and has met Flex. Everybody else has just conjectures and hearsay.

I think he's arrogant and yes selfish, I think the arrogant part is a act. As far as being selfish, most bodybuilders are. Flex had stated that he did not feel bad taking food out of a another bodybuilder's mouth, which is why he did the Ironman and the Arnold Classic. I don't think he was smart with his money.

And he did state that he had to be on test because his body was producing so little, this was on his video that chronicled his comeback in 2002.

As far as Flex's ride now, he is working for MD, and he does have a salary, and we don't know if MD gave him the car or he bought it. Plus he still probably has connections to the music business as well (hell, he'd make a better trainer to 50 than Stan Mcquay).

I've talked with people who have met Flex, and some have said he was cool, others have said he was asswipe, I guess it depends on  his demeanor that day, and the other person as well. Because if some of the people on getbig act the same way in real life, a lot of people would be assholes to them as well.

[Beener]

there is no "war on terrorism". it's a made up farce.

Yeah just like the holocaust.

[HTexan]

i just heard the ninja story on youtube. Is he serious? 

[Meso_z]

i just heard the ninja story on youtube. Is he serious? 

Im afraid yes.

[Stark]

I used to look up to Flex when I was in my teens, now I realize what a piece of shit he is.


he came on here once, and said:  i will tell the truth about the ninja story, then never did.  what a prick.


as for the shirt comming off in aug 07, only after 6 months of drug use will we see this.

Why..... why would you look UP to somebody in the first place.... never mind a bodybuilder?

The arrogant thing is just a front.  He really was a very insecure person.  He didn't like people looking at him and he wasn't comfortable in the position he was in.

People with low self esteem don't think they deserve their success so they try and blow it at every opportunity.  That is why he never won Mr. Olympia I don't believe he deserved it.

I think if he had people around him that supported him, but also told him the truth he would be a lot better off today.  He had way too many Yes people telling him he was the greatest thing since sliced bread.  What he needed in his life were people who stood up to him instead of following behind him.  It was like the blind leading the blind.

Anyway he is a nice guy.  The whole asshole thing was just an act so people thought he was more than he was.  Also he just couldn't handle it.

I was sad to see how things turned out for him, but I wasn't surprised.  It was all too bad.

thanks for the psychological profile Dr. Phil.

that's a load of crap.  if you were next on the list, would you deny it just because you might have used steriods?  Flex was clean for a long time, I don't know what he is doing now, and that man does have amazing genetics, but if there is a willing donor, they must know what they are getting themselves into.  If what you say were true, does that mean that someone who smokes cigarettes their whole life and gets cancer, there is no point in treating them because they are just going to keep smoking?  that's just plain stupid.  The medical state in our country doesn't do much for prevention, but they sure do have anything and everything available to treat infection. ($$$$$$)

get off Flex....  he should be an icon (and IS an icon) in our sport.  What he does in his personal time is his own F-N business.

Woah! Sarah to the defence! Nice to hear from you...Any recent pics? You always had the finest ass ets...

hahahahaha, has anyone ever noticed that "women" on roids get 20 times as agressive as men?

[Bast000]

he spent all his money buying drugs, 24 inch rims and $50,000 systems.  he's just your average black man.

oh shit you really fuccked up now Bast, here's where "sarah dunlap" comes on and tells you how "Flex" didn't have a chance to succeed in the good 'ol USA because of his skin color and that he deserves respect for being one of the most synthol bloated clowns who ever stepped on a stage, aren't you worried?

[Cap]

Sarah's right though SF.  Flex really should have surrounded himself with people who could have introduced him to a bench press, squat rack and a barbell row so he would not have needed to shoot his muscles with oil to look big.  If he was so insecure and uneasy in his position as BBer then why is he still involved in the "sport"?

so he can write in MD how "the cat had guns from hell, demolition delts, and crazy glute conditioning"

What else is he going to do?

I know it's a stretch for those living "hood rich" but um, I don't know, how bout get a real job?  I know it's hard to break away from all the rec drug users at MD (filling his coke and AAS habit) but he really should be smarter about it.  Flex is just another semi-literate BBer and what's sad is that he could make more money being a trashman in CA but he obviously loves the spot light.

I probably shouldn't respond to this, but I'm going to.

This guy was one of the top bodybuilders of all time.  All time.  You don't go from that to being a trash man.  He got accustomed to being treated a certain way, and having certain perks.  So him being a trashman not going to happen.

He's not semi-literate.  He has a learning disability...seeing as how he decided to pursue a bodybuilding career he didn't address that, and didn't exactly plan for a future outside of bodybuilding.

So the smartest thing to do at this point is work in a genre where people know his name and he can make money that way.

Do I think he should have made better choices?  HELL YES.  But that's on him.  He chose to surround himself with people who would not push him or hold him accountable to make those better choices.

[Mr. Cortisol]

Anyway he is a nice guy.  The whole asshole thing was just an act

haha oh brother, talk about excusing asshole behavior.


If a guy acts like an asshole to everyone for 12 years... he's an asshole, period.

If I "act like a bank robber for 5 minutes, but other than that I'm a nice guy"... I'm still going to prison honey.

If I "suck 5 c*cks a year, but other than that I'm a good hubby"... I'm still a homosexual.



Stop excusing his behaviour.  You are how you act.  He acted like an asshole for 12 years because he IS an asshole.  HTH.

1. What disability?
2. You proved my point about him not being shy in the spotlight.  He likes people knowing his name.
3. He could still make more money being a trash man in CA and have a PENSION.  It requires little intelligence.
4. Posting at, writing for and appearing for MD is not a major cash cow. 
5. Like I said, a hood rich dude who thought for the short term.  It doesn't take a PhD to know you need money for the future.  Even with bad friends he was/is an idiot.  Shit, Charles Glass couldn't even get him to do a squat or bench press.

[Azure]

Have you ever met him?  Was he ever an asshole to you personally?

[Camel Jockey]

Okay after reading this thread I now hate "Flex" Wheeler....

"what you doin wit that white boy"

Stupid motherfcuker, i'm glad his life is a wreck and his only option is writing for a shitty magazine.

Mindspin said it best when he once posted "Paybacks a bitch" in regards to his incident with Flex.
