doesnt anyone find the slight water cover over the abs weird?

why is that?

he looks brutal there.

Combination of his kidney failure and high dosages of Jintropin that Venice was flooded with in 99, all the bruthas seemed to get that grey sort of look on it.

yes, perhaps they wanted a pic where he looks big, besdies the overal weird look, the shoulders and arms look massive.


hey, "honest", i have that water layer on quite a few athletes in mags and always wondered how that was possible, it screams "somethings wrong".

so you say its a sign for upcoming kidney failure?
that's a good point/question

In most cases I would say its just heavy fluid from the amount of HGH guys use these days,timing is a real issue with it pre contest, some people take a week others a month to get rid of the fbloat and fluid. Guys would be blasting 20ius a day coming into the Olympia,like when that photo was taken, and the Jins would put your hands to sleep on 4iu, its a real personal thing though, like anything self experimentation needed to see what works for you.

The kidney thing is more than likely obvious in bloat post comp, Both Flex and Don long, 3 days after a show would look total off season, I remeber flex putting on something like 30 pounds in a few days,which isnt  uncommon but a lot of guys just look fuller and more vascular, definatly some bloat, but with wheeler and Don you could tell something was wrong, they had a full moon face overnight, and their physiques were just drowned in water.

What is Jintropin?

How in the world did this guy place 2nd at the Olympia?  The judges needed to recognize the obvious oil usage and mark him way down.

Yeah, he really doesn’t look good.

Both in physique ... and in health.

Something looks very “off”, even though he’s hugely ON, if you catch my drift.

Flex was never meant to carry a lot of size. Like many chocolate faces, he is naturally muscular, but doesn’t have the genetics for considerable lean mass.

He pushed it way too far.

His body said, Yeah, right ... Well, fuck off.

If only we had a time machine and could go back 8 years to when this topic started so we could be timely with the discussion and then we'd need to go back another 13 years to talk to the judges so this look isnt rewarded.

Or we could say he took 2nd at the Olympia but it cost him his leg.

You could say they've shrunken down to nothing.
