Never truly appreciated the amount of oil in Flex’s arms until I just watched this.

Think his kidneys went bad from his kidneys trying to filter out that oil that was in his blood stream?

Changing your oil regularly is the single best thing you can do for your engine.

Don't let dirty, particle filled oil reduce your engine's performance.

See your owner's manual for the oil change intervals recommended for your engine.

flex alone was the reason for the oil crisis in the 90s

Ernie Taylor was the original Exxon Valdez of that era.

Hate to say it but he does look good there. And whoever did his oil for him did a great job. Not like some pros you see now looking like a giant mosquito bit them.

I remember the training articles in Flex magazine which played along with his scam. Otherwise a pretty good physique.

Ernie had the strongest seated triceps extension ever. Documented by Flex magazine.

I'd like to see a recent pic of Ernie and see how lumpy his arms look now. Maybe the oil dispersed over the years.

He was also famous for being a tuna shake guy (canned tuna blended with diet Coke) during those years. Also dated Ms O, Andrulla Blanchette. Blanchette would also do schmoe work if you met her price. Off topic, but it's just one of those weird asides you remember.

Never had the heart to try it, I once had a chicken shake and that was bad enough. Tuna in V8 vegetable juice was the only version of a tuna shake that sounded halfway decent.

Here's a bunch of recipes for them from around the mid 90's -

Early Flex USA win and his first iron man he probably presented one of the best 3 physiques of all time in my opinion.

His 1st Olympia showing was probably his best Olympia showing. Unfortunately for him, he ran into the GOAT. Mr. Dorian Yates.

Don't ask me why, but a couple years back I had 72 hrs burning a hole in my pocket and happened to read a book of his.
To say he is oblivious to real life is an understatement. One of the things I found most crazy is that throughout the book, he constantly refers to himself as a professional athlete.
My first thought was that this low life no job drug addict was completely delusional.
It then made me wonder if all drug addict bodybuilders look at themselves as "athletes", and that is how they justify their drug use.
He may be different now, but I basically came away with the impression that he is a complete fucking moron.
