Hmmm....that was a fair decision. Flex wasn't back to his full size. Mike looks like what i wanted to look like when i started training, very powerful looking (no homo).
Sherief, Lee Labrada made that his last show, i think he was over bodybuilding shows by then. Probably as too many better guys around and had enough. I think he was just happy to turn up looking good. He had a long break after the 1993 Mr.O? to see if a rest would help him come back better but he could see he was getting out of his league.
