I had to laugh while looking through Flex magazine today

[sarcasm]

Also funny they bash steroid users in it, "You can do it without it" when a brocolli diet follows haha.

hahahahahaha, classic shit.

[Dan-O]

ahem, it's $3.99 US.  No way in hell would I pay 7 bucks for that.

So I checked again and it was actually $5.99.  My bad, guess the joke's on me.

[Doublemonk]

I noticed three things - sure there are more but I was in the grocery line - that was truly beyond the realm of Patheticness.

1 - Chris Cormier claiming "they judged me too harshly at the Olympia this year."  LOL  you looked like shit.  That's why.

2 - Gene I Failed My BenchPress getting ready in the picture... looking like Porky Pig in both body and face.  I mean, really.  Who wears shades to an INDOOR benchpress comp?

3 -  The two large pics of Gunter.  It was very obvious that a bad airbrush/photoshop job was done to eliminate those spaghetti veins on his inner thigh.    Whatever method they used certainly was a shit poor job.  Next time Feather with a Ratio of 4.1

Let the hate commence.

Regarding Gunther. What you call bad photoshopping is a quad tear.

[Zugzwang]

it seems that us canadians must really like the new flex, since I have been unable to find it anywhere.

I was looking foward to seeing Jay get destroyed in print.

Except it doesn't. It does say, and I quote, that 'Jay had the best back on the night.' If that was indeed the case, he should probably have won.

As we all know it's very different on the night/on video, but in the pictures, it's very hard to tell them apart, and FLEX basically concurs with this. If anything I think the article gives Jay the edge.

1. HAHAHA. Very True. Cormier was soft all over. Perhaps decided Melvin shouldn't be Mr Soft Ass anymore.

2. Gene is a joke. Nothing more to it. Would like to examine that enforced shirt of his sometime. Wonder if it's quadruple ply, or even more? Why the fcuk is he wearing a beanie indoors? Looks idiotic. Also, I think he does have an eye problem. Blind on one eye? But is that a reason to wear specs like them retired old folks with blue hair in Florida uses?

3. Der Günta-man actually had some surgery done to correct that shit on his thigh. Lemme tell ya, he sure needed to get it done. Thing looked horrible.

Could have been worse I suppose.  Like on Paul Dildos shoulder/chest area.

[phyxsius]

Does anyone have the video where Dillet got muscle cramp all over his body onstage? I think it's one of the Olympia competitions. I read it in MD

[suckmymuscle]

I too laughed, because after reading article and looking at pics, still not sure how Ronnie won, even Peter McGough would not admit that Ronnie won outright, so what do you think, he wins next year, breaks the record them miracuously retires, at bes Ronnie was third, maybe fourth, again I have stated:



1.  No claves

2.  Not the best back at that show

3. If his waist is mainstreamed, damn mine is invisible

4. Smooth hamstrings and glutes.




NOW LET THE HATE BEGIN!

  Dude, seriously, you should join us in the Ronnie vs Dorian thread. I like ya and agree with your very word.

dude that was from 1994 arnold classic........paul actually froze onsatge due 2 dehydration and had 2 b picked up by fellow pros off the stage horizontally.later i the cause of his freezing onstage was due 2 over use of diuterics.....it shocked the bodybuilding world cuz of steroids over use.the funny thing is that paul was in the best shape of his life and nearly won that show.there was an artcile in flex that stated if paul neva froze onsatge that day he would have been the winner of the 90'000 arnold classic1994

...I just looked at that Gunter pic.  It's obvious that they photoshopped his knee's veiny mess away, even to a rank amateur!  That veiny crap is gross, but Gunter looked good at the O.   To tell the truth I think he looked better at the night show for some reason, as the pics from prejudging show he's still a bit thick in the waist...not as bad as usual, but still noticeable.

Thank you!!  Like I said to start with, didn't look like surgery to me.

[buffbodz]

Back to Gene's failed attempt at 1050.  The funniest thing had to be when HHH's co host (Joe Amato I think) asked if he was going to try a second attempt.  The guy just crushed his guts in w/a bench that most couldn't squat and like he's going to try again   Obviously he isn't a fan of powerlifting.

I'm afraid I have to agree about the photoshopping...  those of you who have the FLEX Olympia issue, compare that pic of Günter in the magazine with this one.  The veins are still there and FLEX has insulted our collective intelligence by claiming otherwise:

[ARTI]

That fag didn't know Jack about BB either. He sucked Big Time.

Anyone catch the part where some guy comes from behind the curtains with some papers and instead of giving them to the cockgobbling host he just reads them himself. He got out a couple of words and the assclown grabbed the mic and said "What are you doing?". That was followed by 30 seconds of silence.

Some funny shit. 

[bic_staedtler]

Thank you!!  Like I said to start with, didn't look like surgery to me.

...maybe Gunter should look into getting it removed, it is kinda gross.  Although it's veins, perhaps it's better not to mess with it....but since you can surgically remove vericose veins perhaps something can be done.  In the end it may be a big hassle for little payback.

[phyxsius]

Looking at that pic, Gunter too has the pointy elbow

It's too bad you didn't hear the "scream" that escaped from Gene's mouth when he started to lose the lift......it was something you would never expect out of a man that size.  Like Ned Beatty in Deliverance when's he getting asspounded......

The way the bar dipped and the way those spotters didn't catch it before it got that bad was amazing.......

Just Amazing.......

Actually if you read the Olympia article, they mentioned that Günter had the veins in his thigh removed.

wow, remove veins outta the thigh?

[Dan-O]

Well, the FLEX mag said that Günter had the spider veins removed that were near his right knee, and the pics in FLEX seemed to corroborate that.  People get unsightly veins removed all the time, it's not that big of a deal.

BUT if you look at the Olympia pics up on flexonline.com, you will still see the veins right where they always were.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........

I would have to say those veins would be very difficult & dangerous to remove.

1 - Chris Cormier claiming "they judged me too harshly at the Olympia this year." 

He didn't look that great on an Olympia level. Of course they're gonna judge harshly. This is the Mr. Olympia not a local city contest.

Exactly.  Someone tell Cormier that.  His bitch ass complaining all the time.

[phyxsius]

His bitch ass complaining all the time.

That's what he does besides competing and partying? Spending most of the time sticking the phone on his ear.. Sooner or later he will develop a brain tumor due to excessive radiation

[Karl Kox]

Fuck Flex it's BORING

















MD RULES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Damian]

I agree, Flex is boring.

I used to read MuscleMag too but then one issue had some dude in pink speedos doing lat pulldowns and they seemed to run with that theme for a while.

Ironman is also boring.

I like MD but not with all those cartoon caricatures in the first 100 pages.



Too bad Getbig doesn't have its own magazine with a different Asian Whore featured in each issue.
