I downloaded the rip by giovani... and saw this video a couple of times. Their is always an excuse why Flex trained with the intensity of a grandmother.
IF anybody would know the intensity that Flex trained with, it would be Cormier, and remember it was touted by many that Cormier at one time was one of the strongest bbers, and both . Flex, Cormier, and McClinton were the posse back in the day. And you must remember again. Flex won his pro card at 215 pounds at 5'10", At the 1993 Arnold he was about 216-220. SO put that in relativity, the amount of weight he was pushing up would not be as much Levrone who was the same height but weighed about 245-50.
There is no excuse, but pure jealously on others who did not, and could not go against a genetic superior like that of Wheeler.
