Why does Flex Wheeler look so damn shitty these days?

[dyslexic]

Lot's of old-time bodybuilders still have decent lines/shape-(Lee Haney, Labrada, Schwarzzy, Ferriggy...etc..etc..) granted with a bit more bodyfat.... but Flex..



He looks like a black version of Tom Prince... sans the balloons in his Valentino-ish arms and the ugly tribals.



Maybe it's just me. Maybe... I don't know WTF I'm even talking about. He poses in the mags between two jacked brutes that he is selling juice too--I mean "training" and he makes himself look worse than a faggy personal trainer...


And then when he tries to hold an interview, he sounds like Elmer Fudd. Am I the one who is F'd up here?

[Tito24]

agree, he maybe should try steroids again.

[PORKY]

That's Eddie Murphy jacked up! 

[spinnis]

Because flex never Enjoyed training. Hes a lazy bastard and ONLY did it for the "money".

So when thats out of the picture so is flex.

Yep....that's really "lazy".

[Tito24]

He rather has big synthol arms than small natural arms thats a fact.

Alot of these guys just retire and move on in life. You seriously cannot expect a guy to roid up hi whole damn life.

Yeah, but you'd expect someone with his genetics to look good on 100-200mg HRT.

"looking good" in retirement just doesn't pay the bills  

seriously, who cares, obviously he doesn't. At this juncture he is only converned about looking decent in a tank top for the video/interviews that he does.

Flex is trying to pay his bills

[Playboy]

Yeah, but you'd expect someone with his genetics to look good on 100-200mg HRT.

You cannot go from boatloading drugs for 15 years or more to going off and retaining muscle regardless of HRT. By that point you've already changed your body's chemistry.

1. No natural base. If you build a natural base even if you stop training for long periods, you retain a lot better and it comes back very quickly when you do restart training.

2. He has good genetics for shape and flow, he probably has very bad genetics for any sort of mass naturally.

3. He was all drugs.

whats it like to be born without a brain??

He has a nothing physique doesn't even look like he ever trained.

My 60 year old father, lifetime natty, shit diet, sporadic training carries more mass than him.

Flex is a true hardgainer who's shape and lines only became apparent through drugs.

Sorry if that hurts your feelings.

massive organ failure tends to be pretty catabolic



i dont know what you think he is supposed to look like.,,.......obviously training is not a priority for him in life right now........


when people dont train, and dont watch their diet they get small and fat.........doesnt matter if that person is you, me, ronnie coleman, flex wheeler, or shawn ray



no one stays lean and jacked years after they have stopped training and eating right,.............not even the best genetics in the world


some people , because of their natural shape will just be bigger people, or wider people, or broad shouldered.............. .flex wheeler  has a very small bone structure, thats why he looked so good on stage............but if they are not training and eatin g correctly they will be small and smooth





your just saying ridiculous things.............what exactly do you expect from someone who is no longer training, ronnie coleman would look like that in  a couple years as well if he stopped everything (especially with a life threatening illness)

There was a vid of him struggling with 185 on the incline a few years ago on MD

Thing, is that is mostly from being genetically gifted.  Even Yates has said that he was lucky Flex didn't have as good of motivation or work ethic as him.  Flex could have easily won at least 5 Mr. O's in his time if he was completely focused

I don't believe that is the case for natties, at least not in my experience. Sure you will lose density and mass but it is nowhere near as pronounced.

It would be impossible for some people to get fat due to metabolism, regardless of bad dietary habits.

Besides i have seen footage of flex training in recent years, so thats that excuse out the window.

Flex had great genetics for drug response and good lines and shape. That's it and thats why he looks like shit now.

That's like saying that, of all the bodybuilders ever to compete in the IFBB, all but 12 are "lazy".

Genes don't lift weights, diet, or do cardio. Flex's resume speaks for itself. And, as I stated in another thread, even guys who have actually WON the Olympia (i.e. Dexter Jackson, Samir Bannout, Chris Dickerson) don't get the props that guys like Flex do.

There are genetically gifted guys that haven't won JACK. Some haven't even turned pro.

of course with the extreme mass a pro like flex was carrying, the weight loss when he stops training is going to be more dramatic then some 160 lb. fucking natty

 and of course a guys metabolism is different when he is  45 then when he is 25



and you know about flex cause you saw a video clip of him lifting a few years ago




you locig is just fucking awful.....your arguing things that are above you pay-grade..............i dont even know what your premise is


i think its that "FLEX" Wheeler doesnt have good muscle building genetics

It hurts my abs from all that laughing.

Here are Flex and Shawn Ray at the 2010 Olympia. Yep, Flex looks as if he never touched a weight in his life.

[JP_RC]

Because he stopped training?

[JP_RC]

Plus, I really think he doesn't care what his physique looks like anymore. Most retired pros could care less about staying big.

Yeah that's what i'm saying. Drug addict flex wheeler doesn't have good muscle building genetics, nor does Tom Prince or any other twink bodybuilder who can't do fuck all natty. I like how you say Flex Wheeler like he has some talent for something, save nearly killing himself through drug use.

Everything else i said was spot on. He trains, i assume he eats given the fact that he isn't homeless and destitute, he puts litres of synthol in his arms, he obviously finds it very hard to make gains while being anything close to natural. That's fact.

This myth about losing all of your muscle mass through periods of inactivity is perpetuated by roid heads who look like shit off the sauce, it has zero factual basis.
