So about 2 years after his epic pro debut, Flex’s internal body was damaged.

No, in 1993 the 0% BF  "appearance/ condition " ruined his kidneys , the high blood pressure , low back pains Sciatic never  all that were permanent side effects due the heavy abuse of diuretics on his debut.  

He was in his 20's so he could get away with the abuse for few years.... And lying of course.

Nice find. I remember reading Flex, etc. to see contest results and stuff. That’s a long time to keep pushing it.

I guess all the oil that his kidneys and liver had to deal with had nothing to do with it.

my wife was on lasix for water retention for around three years straight before I met her, its the oil that fucks you up.

Yes but the dosages would be way different? These guys aren't taking any recommended dosages

how much lasix do you think he was doing, i would imagine it would be quite a bit to fuck him up that bad.  not being a smart ass, just curious how much lasix these guys were doing

I feel bad for the women that gave him a kidney. Yes, you can function with one kidney but it's still 5 to 10 years off your life. She sacrificed for him thinking he would take the gift seriously.

Seems to be the guys that mess around with the synthol wear out faster.

not to mention flex's church footed the bill for his insurance, and he turned around  and hopped back on the shit after he got the transplant, not the most honest thing to do

I could be very wrong but I think it was Vince Taylor that said it... it was said there were some pro’s that would do site injections before going out to clubs.

He said that if you need to do site injections prior to going out into public, you got mental problems


I was thinking that it could’ve been Wheeler, Dillett, or Levrone

Maybe 'bigorexia' is caused by years of being called skinny...?

He said that in 93 that he was having issues at the time. And remember Joe McNeal was his guru.

there's a big difference between being prescribed lasix for excess water retention and using them to suck every last bit of water out of your body. diuretics used like that can fk up your kidneys pretty quickly.

Especially on the European Grand Prix tour after the Olympia. England, France, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, Hungary, Russia. It was crazy.

And later on Flex recommends Joe to Dex. IIRC says that Joe uses "extreme methods".

Man had he fallen between 1993 and 1995. He looked so smooth/soft in that pic. I don't know why he could never recapture his 1993 condition?
