WHEELER - 92 USAs

[njflex]

1991 Mr. O, 2nd place Dorian Yates- Rookie year
1992 Mr. O, 2nd place Kevin Levrone- Rookie year
1993 Mr. O, 2nd place Flex Wheeler-Rookie year

3 years in a row in a very competitive scene, rookies took runner up at the O. I don't think we'll be seeing that anymore under the current way bodybuilding is judged. I'm sure it made for suspenseful shows.

yates wasn't rookie,yes a mro rookie but he competed in 90/91 noc's,,wheeler did spring shows that year,i think kev was as well spring shows

Oops, should have been more clear. Rookie Mr. O.   I couldn't fathom that happening today. I couldn't fathom a rookie winning the Arnold.

[Bevo]

yep. I wish someone would do an interview with him and ask him straight up why go the oil route? Was it true that he figured that he couldn't gain the weight necessary to beat Ronnie?

That's cause flex is mentally weak and fucked in the head, he still is.

He's already having more health issues as we speak and even traded in his wife Madeline for a new one already

I was thinking his new woman was the fitness competitor with the really flexible back.

Flex should just hold off on the weights and just become a bodyweight specialist.

[Parker]

Wooow look how shitty he looks in that pic next to coleman.


Flex wheeler is the man, theres gotta be a better comparison

Flex Wheeler vs Paul Dillett and Shawn Ray, same contest. I believe that this was either in 96 or 97.



Flex vs Dorian vs Sonny Schmidt

[Nether Animal]

Man look at Paul's chest. I'm guessing that his bad shoulders made it difficult to bench as well.

He was Hospitalized just recently for stomach pain not too long ago, u can read about it in muscular development site

215. 216 at the Arnold, and 218 at the 93 Mr.O.Maybe because he has somewhat of a weak chest? Because his arms, especially triceps are flawless. Or maybe it was because Flex lacked confidence in his own physique?

He was 232 at the 1993 Mr. Olympia.

[Danimal77]

I saw him at 289 in the off season before the 99 O. He looked cartoonish, his delts and arms looked ridiculous.

Damn, I didn't know he went that high. Levrone only went up to 275 in the offseason.

[Parker]

He was 232 at the 1993 Mr. Olympia.

Nope. Not even close. 232 maybe at the 98 O. When he was 230ish, he had no crispness to him and was larger. That was in 96-97. In the Hardbody vid, which was shot one week out, when he was in the the posing room he said he was about 220, and had water to drop. So that means he was still losing weight. His size was not that far off from the Arnold. At the Ironman he was bigger and fuller, and a week or so later at the 93 Arnold, he was cut and lighter. Looking close to his 92 form.
At the 97 Arnold, he was 224. Nasser had said that Flex told him, and Nasser said this in an interview be Shae he was incensed that he lost to a 224 pound Flex. Also, again Flex's physique matches closely with 92, USAs, 93 Arnold and 93 Olympia. And when Flex did that 2002 Mr. O (supposedly natty), he was about 218-220. And again, you could tell that he is lighter. Everything is pretty consistent with him being 216-220ish his first few years, except for 96 or 97. Apparently for the 96 O he was 227.
The only time during his rookie year that an argument could be made for 232 is at the Ironman, where he was fuller and noticeably bigger. You cannot go by the listed weights on the vids.

If Fortress or ND can dig it up, there was an indepth Flex Wheeler interview by Musclemag (back in 99 or so), where he disclosed his true weights. And I think even Joe McNeal had said the same weights. 215 92 USAs, 216 93 Arnold Classic, and 218 93 Mr. O.

Not Stacy Simons....Nooooo.

I don't know if his fiancee is afilliated with fitness.  She seems very nice and devoted to him.  Probably because she hasn't had to take care of him and the rest of their family for years like Madeline did.  Trade the old model in once it's not looking as shiny and new anymore.

He should focus on being some sort of Martial arts expert

[SquatsRule]

I watched his mass construction video recently as I'd never seen it. What a douche.

Parker, He said that he was about 235 at the 98 Arnold where I still say was his best condition ever.

[Royalty]

Parker, He said that he was about 235 at the 98 Arnold where I still say was his best condition ever.

But he had oil in 98

[Parker]

Parker, He said that he was about 235 at the 98 Arnold where I still say was his best condition ever.

Which would line up correctly with what I said. I said 232 maybe at the 98 O. And 235 at the 98 Arnold is not that off from 232, so he and Chad would try and replicate that look.

But he had oil in 98

Which would mean, not his best condition, by default. He looked better without the oil, more striated and separated.

[Ronnie Rep]

But he had oil in 98

Oil or not he was dry as a bone.

[njflex]

But he had oil in 98

HIS delts could have landed an airplane of his unnatural looking rear delts from the side by 98,blurred definition,his already weak chest was even moreso by the over inflated delts/arms.and his traps were way off too at that point,,he had all the gifts prior shape/look/balance,,then he did all that to ruin it..

[Taffin]

He was Hospitalized just recently for stomach pain not too long ago, u can read about it in muscular development site

That's a shame.  From recent pics it looks to me like he's maybe using a little oil/TRT so I hope this isn't backfiring on him.  I guess we all got into this whole thing for various reasons.  If you were a real skinny ecto-guy to start with, maybe it's harder to go back to that than others might find it... As Flex surely came into it from this angle:

[Nether Animal]

[oldschoolfan]

He was sharper and held less water at the Arnold.  IMO, what Flex presented at the '93 Arnold was the best bodybuilding physique of all time.

gotta agree bro, he looked good that night to bad he never replicated that condition again

[lextheflex]

I watched his mass construction video recently as I'd never seen it. What a douche.

Why? Was he Snobby, arrogant, boring? Enlighten us on your opinion.

[Nether Animal]

[BSN]

Great physique

[Parker]

Great physique

And then he broke his neck, discovered synthol, lost to Ronnie, and it all went down hill.
