Debate over. Dorian's concubine has spoken.

That's a horrible shot btw.

Why didn't Flex win the O in 1993? He looked a million times better than Dorian.

Aesthetically he looked better absolutely , according to the IFBB judging criteria no he didn't

Think of Brian as a C5 Z06 corvette and Flex as the C6 Z06. The C5 version had promise, but the C6 version was the one that was a winner.

ND, who is the guy in the white shirt? He apparently had 23 inch arms that he would never show on camera, but Flex and others saw.

Flex didn't ruin his line at all, he kept a small waist until the day of his last contest. His only problem was the water retention as you said and the lack of definition in his arms at the end of his career, but he had a dominant physique, much more dominant than Shawn Ray on stage.

Flex is unique in history of humanity. He could never ruin his line as he had the most perfect skeleton and the most beautiful muscle belly of all time. Even with his oiled arms and lack of shoulders and chest in 1998 (not in 1999) his structure allowed him to look amazing.
His lines were blurred when he went over 230, he kept a small waist compared to others, but he lost the crispness that he had at 215-218.

Also, look at Mass Construction, the part where he was training chest...he had his brother or Danny Hester pull his arms back, and he lost control of his gut...I mean it was bad...

there are offseason pics when flex had beard and was a swollen 280,,who would have thought esp the what 'flex'magazine presents the finished bber product as ripped sculpted mass 24/7...seeing him at 215 u would never imagine a offseason wheeler a watery 260 plus..he had to play size game why?

Maybe,  but if my auntie had a dick she would be my uncle. There are many "ifs" in this world.

On a more serious note, Shawn was more consistent for a lot longer but at with both at their best, Flex was in another league.
