flex would stick needles full of gear, esiclene and MCT oil all over his body.
Pre contest would look something like
Delts = T shape, 4-5 shots per delt
Traps = 4-6 shots total, 2-3 on each side from top to bottom
Biceps = 4 shots total, 2 per head
Calves = 4-5 shots, basically hit from every single angle
Back = 2-3 per lat, top to bottom, about 2 in the rhomboids
nasser was worse. he would lie face down on his hotel room bed while his girlfriend/wife at the time would stick each muscle in his back with esiclene shots usually resulting in his body being covered in streaks of blood, oil and pro tan. ironically, the amount of pain he endured never really improved his back relative to his competition on stage.
Kev did the same. He was on another level, mentally. If there was one person who would push their body to death and not give a shit it was Kev. Honestly, i dont think anyone wouldve been surprised if he killed himself in the last few weeks of contest prep.
