LOL Are you smoking crack, dude? That russian kids' quads are already now better than Rays' have ever been in his entire career. Ray's arms fuller? At what pictures are you looking at? You are kinda the old-school schmoe (just look at all your early 90 Flex threads lol) whining around how everything has been better back in the days when you had your first men crush at these guys in your youth and can't handle the progress.
First, I did one fle wheeler thread on his vid, as response to the one from last week. Secondly, you can't find a bber today that matched Flex at the 1993 Arnold, and no competing bber today has that level of back detail.
Now on to Shawn, it is widely known that Shawn had to keep his quads in check, they overpowered his physique. Plus he had striations in all the quad muscles. Alex weighs more, but was not better. And his overall shape is lacking. And as was pointed out, the drugs diff, it was also pointed out some time ago, that Shawn was very old school about his drug usage, ie, no exotica when it came to the drugs.
The quality of today is not as good as the 90s, you have to be smokin some I'll shit not admit that. Here is a question, Phil, Kai, Wolf, and now Zach are the new freaks, how would they have faired at the 1999 or 2003 mr. O?
