He couldn't bring his AC conditioning to the Olympia stage.

yeah but he still had incredible lines

It was the 90's. He had to be better than Dorian or Ronnie. He wasn't when he needed to be. I also read he was a bit of a slouch that relied on drugs.

his addiction to oil in order to chase size was a bad decision

Unfortunately when the past looks better than the present, that too isn't a healthy thing.

Well, I def agree that many things were better in the past, but we need to get over that.

Flex didn't have oil in his arms when competing against Dorian... Flex had somewhat striated glutes in 93 (The O) albeit not like he did at the Arnold. It is true that he did have problems in that area, but it was usually at higher body weights.

i agree, but when the quality of the present sucks, and you see the quality of the past, how can you get over it. It's like not even regression, it's like some form of twisted, perverse progression.

Flex was 5'10.

For the 1000th time Flex's 98 Arnold condition, was his best ever! He couldn't duplicate it for the Olympia therefore he lost to Ronnie in 98. He was never again able to get in that condition probably from his kidney problems and going against Ronnie!

Song by H-Town called "They Like It Slow". I believe it was produced by Devonte Swing, of Jodeci. It has his signature sound.

Can't say I'm impressed by the 98 version of Flex. Obvious oil in is arms and delts, arms overpowering his chest, back not nearly as defined as in '93. His structure wasn't made for the mass game. Best showing ever: 93' Ironman or AC.

Flex was pretty narrow

he didn't win the Olympia because he was attacked by Ninjas ferociously and he never recovered
