Flex Ranks the BEST Arnold Classic showings of all time ...

[Hulkster]

just as shapely not quite , wider yes and that gut just kills it

ronnie had a gut.

but flex had a rear lat spread that didn't materialize when he posed.

nothing happened. that is how narrow he was by comparison.

that is much worse.

[NarcissisticDeity]

he was very shapely

yes very

lmfao thats much worse NO its not , not in the least Flex was lighter hence not as wide ! again from a pure bodybuilding standpoint that gut voids everything else both have flaws for sure but Flex didn't look pregnant

Damn, Flex's back striations are insane. I agree with ND, the 93 AC Flex is the best physique ever on a stage!!!

[NarcissisticDeity]

One of the very best physique's ever

[swilkins1984]

If Flex had Dorian or Ronnie's mentality he would have been a 3-4X Mr. Olympia if not more. I don't think any one can deny that he had the greatest bb structure and genetics of his time.

Fullness and muscle belly shape - yes.

Greatest bb structure - HELL NO!!

Flex was notoriously narrow.

what killed flex was that he didn't look good "opened up". his lat spreads (front and back) were really poor. everything standout on flex was related to shape and symmetry. ronnie, in 2001 at the ASC, had shape and symmetry at his all time best save 1999 plus that surreal size and far better conditioning than flex ever achieved (and if you don't believe me look at photos taken with them together, not photo A of flex and photo B of ronnie).

ronnie's lows were probably lower than any other mr olympia (2002, for one). but what you can't deny is that there are a few poses that most top pros just never looked good in. flex in his front lat spreads, dorian in a front double biceps and probably side chest. in 2001, ronnie looked incredible in EVERY pose.

yes, he had a little bit of a gut, but it wasn't what it became later and wasn't enough to spoil anything except to the most anal retentive ironagers.

a little bit of a gut? are you serious?

[ATHEIST]

Ronnie wins

Gut or no gut.

 Then why are the judging criteria changing in favor of "no gut"? obviously there is a preference.

What does conditioning have to do with anything? Flex had outstanding conditioning at the 93 ASC without that ridiculous gut

( sighs ) listen you were requesting people to post pictures of Ronnie to showcase his ' crazy conditioning ' like Flex didn't have it its not an advantage he has over Flex 93 so again what does conditioning have to do with it?


great job jumping the gun moron

[MisterMagoo]

hey ND, how about you start using pictures from the SHOW instead of from the photoshoot?

[NarcissisticDeity]

hey not a problem buddy 

[NarcissisticDeity]

You will not find any gut at all with Flex 93 this is pure bodybuilding

[NarcissisticDeity]

This is as good as it got

[MisterMagoo]

sigh. all right, ND.

here's a hint for the future: when the only way to make your case is to comb through the pictures to find the absolute worst of ronnie and then "compare" them to the best pictures of flex you can find, you've lost your case. end of story.

nice work using pro photoshoot pictures of flex and carefully timed freezeframes from the video of ron when he's exhaling or going between poses. good work. especially since you always bitch when people do that with dorian. narcissistichypocrite.

I don't bitch when they do it to Yates , I only bitch when they post pictures that aren't of him at his best big difference , I posted pics of Ronnie at his best compared to Flex at his ( go check ) and I seriously laughed out loud when you typed ' exhaling '

look Ronnie even with the gut looked remarkable in 2001 but I think Flex looks even better because he doesn't have one its that simple both have advantages over the other but the gut is a deal breaker

excellent post.

[NarcissisticDeity]

excellent post.

How's that excellent? he's dead wrong lol I never bitched about you guys posted gut shots of Yates at his best , only when you're posting pictures of him NOT at his best to Ronnie , and again Ronnie's not mearly exhaling he has a huge gut and Flex doesn't thats the deal-breaker , and further more I posted shots of Ronnie without the gut showing compared to Flex ( see the back shots ) so once again he's dead wrong on all accounts ! its not an excellent post its a moronic post and the only reason you agree is because you're just as stupid as he is.

[Hulkster]

as good as it got?

 

notice: ND does the same thing here as he does in the truce thread:

he posts countless shots of ronnie's lower back, which was not as striated as either dorian's or flex's, and ignores everything else...
