GTFO, Flex couldn't hold Ronnie's jock strap. Look at the Ronnie video in HiDef and you will see that he was literaly unbeatable. Nobody has ever had his size, lines, and shape. Dorian was great with great conditioning but he flowed all wrong. Maybe Haney at his all-time best, but Ronnie's legs would have slaughtered him. Ronnie was King bitches. Deal with it.

Had him third behind Cormier

This! Ronnie ate Flex's lunch. From the back, Flex almost looks like a guest poser just starting his prep.

Flex had a great physiqe
a great shape and lines but his back lat spread was weak, lacking width and thickness

his back double bi was great though, extremely detailed

Well this is probably where bodybuilding went wrong. If these guys had been rewarded over Dorian and Ronnie then the sport would have progressed in a different direction.

IMO I think Chris had better potential than Flex, Chris could carry more mass without ruining his physique , flex couldn't and when he played the size game it showed...

Flex = pretty physique looks good at lighter weight

Chris = powerful physique, can carry more mass, not much weaknesses if at all plus HAD calves

yes as far judging criteria go, no question.

but flex lines are much more pleasant on the eyes, the flow, the symmetry etc.

one example, their both midsections and abs shape.

potential is useless, the best potential most likely has some mulatto kid out there which will never step into a gym.

Ok then Chris is better

Got robbed that year. Flex was the clear winner.

Ronnie won in '99 easily, fair and square.

Flex was rushed to the ER after that show, that was the start of the kidney problems.

More like, he finally took it seriously. He has been in the hospital before, after other contests. And back in 1993, I believe it was after the Arnold, he said he was having pains.

no one really talks about Flex's weaknesses besides his obvious synthol but his glutes and hams were smooth as shit and that throws a lot of the poses out the window, sorry but Flex was not even clos to Ronnie that year.

Twice the size? LOL ok

Exactly .... Colemans arms were bigger than flex's by far only difference is Coleman was carrying the one if the biggest backs and a super chest... Whereas this wasn't the Case for flex

People with Flex's body type have that issue and look better at lower bodyweights---Melvin Anthony, Jojo Ntiforo

Looking at these pics, why does it seem Flex, Cormier, Kevin Levrone, Nasser, and even Vic Richards seem to look like Mr. O than Phil or Kai, or Jay or any of the line up today?

Grenache · « **Reply #49 on:** August 14, 2013, 08:16:31 AM »

1999 Mr. Olympia had a great line-up!

Dexter Jackson's first O (9th):

Paul Dillet last O (7th):

Shawn Ray (5th):

Chris Cormier (3rd):

Flex (2nd):

Ronnie (1st):
