my fav IFBB pro body in the last 30 years is prime 1993 flex
There's no doubt that is a work of art and Flex wasn't that far from it at the 93 OLympia.
Had thye judges decided that is the way they wanted bodybuilding to go they could
have awarded Flex the title.
Remember Flex was only 215 pounds.
I rented the 25th anniversary stream on amazon for $1;99 or 2:99 at most.
Mcgough was talking about how the 2001 ASC Ronnie was the best winner
BUT then goes on something along the lines that he would like to see the 1998
ASC version of Flex to be sure. The pictures were crap for the 98 contest whereas
the lighting was perfect for pics in 93. Flex was at least 230 and even drier than 1993.
On stage Arnold said it was the best bodybuilding body he had ever seen.
15 pounds of muscle on Flex's light frame is different than a bigger boned Yates
or Nasser putting on 15 pounds. As usual he warms up with the Ironman where
it looked like he was using Escilene which disapates quickly unlike Synthol.
I will say that the 1993 version was more pleasing to look at but the 98 ASC version
would be more competitive. This doesn't make me right but when you have Arnold and
Peter both say it; that makes it hold some weight.
Most people aren't even aware how awesome Flex was at the 98 ASC. There's not much out there.
I've got the 1998 OLympia Flex magazine I'll have for sale soon and they said not
only was he lighter at 227 pounds but softer than the 98 ASC.
Here's some pics from my IG... ,I"ll throw in some 93 too.
Check the totally dry obliques although the lighting is not great.
I didn't make this and I think it's Flex from the 93 Olympia but you can tell
in his face he is super dry.
This is from some video footage. He looked like a cartoon character like Heath does but
so much better flow and aesthetics.
