This is very unfortunate. But if Flex’s usage of synthol in his calves led to this, it’s his own fault. Let’s hope that Ernie Taylor no longer uses synthol in is triceps.. and let’s hope Markus Ruhl no longer enhances his biceps.

Very sad news for bodybuilding  :(
Diabetes ? Oil ? Kidney failure ? Accident ? ...
No one should ever have to go through that. Death is the preferable of the two.

You would rather die than have a leg amputated? ???

It appears to be real now. I wonder what actually happened and how much of a partial leg amputation it is. If its the calf can they attach the foot to the knee? Or will he need a robot leg ? Can they make a built looking robot prosthetic for him?

You were savagely owned by everyone on this forum and then banned, a complete joke, and now you've come crawling back.

Who was "Big Tex" in his former GetBig life?

Walter Sobchak?  Zillotch?

Or were they the same?  Regardless,I enjoyed reading their posts.

Were they the same? I liked Walter, but Zillotch seemed like mainly a troll. Same person, split personalities?

Great photo his 1993 Ironman physique imo is his prime I say that because he had little too minimal Oil happening back then, after 1995-96...That changed Dramatically...his “look” @ the 1999 Mr Olympia in particular witch he’s always said was his best ever version of his physique and too this day he still maintains he was “robbed” was imo ridiculous the amount of oil he had injected into mainly his shoulders and Arms a blind man could see that.

In 1992-1993 he was incredible...after that timeframe you really didn’t know what was “real” on him.

Ronnie in 99 killed him, Cormier too. Flex should have been 3rd at best

possible it has to do with syntholing his calves in the late 90's/early 00's?

at one point they looked like human calves



then a few years later looked like squashed shit



possibly messed up that vein with a syntol shot and reduced blood flow to his calf musles, hence the vanishing calves syndrome

Eh, why is everybody saying "synthol" or "diabetes"???

Are people not considering he had DVT? Didn't flex have multiple surgeries with regards to establishing blood flow to his kidney with regards to his kidney replacement surgeries? If I'm not mistaken they had to take veins from his leg and use them in his kidneys. I can absolutely see that leading to vascular damage and decrease blood flow or vascular collapse in his lower legs especially the leg they harvested the thing from.

Do people not pay attention?

Only way that makes sense is if he somehow after all these years later developed compartment-syndrome.

Flex must've seen my hospital bed vlogs and all the views I got and got jealous.

Show the bloody stump while the nurses are changing bandages brother!

Bet he won't be up hobbling around, dragging his IV pole all day like I was though ;)

J/k of course. Gotta be a traumatic thing losing a limb. I know I never really sank in for me & I didn't take it seriously when they threatened to amputate both mine back in '14 (mine was cellulitis and sepsis however). I remember thinking " fuck that. I walked into the ER and I'll walk back out. I've got clients to train on Monday and shit to do" lol. Had I left, I likely would be missing my right leg at the knee and left leg at the ankle as well (if I didn't die from the bacteria on my heart valve I wasn't aware of, that is)

You really think a "bad synthol shot" caused this, 15yrs after he likely did his last calve site injections?

Nevermind harvesting veins from his legs to use in his kidneys. That must have nothing to do with it.

Have you ever even opened a pathology textbook?

I didn’t go into nursing, so no, I didn’t ever take Pathology in college

I'm not a a charity, and this is a discussion board.

People discuss things. It's not CNN or Fox where we just read/watch/listen to things and discuss with our friends and family.

Perhaps that fact is lost on you. Feel free to continue spreading absolute nonsense like "flex lost a leg because of a 'bad' synthol injection 15-20yrs ago.

Nevermind common sense that would lead to something like vascular insufficiency due to his previous surgeries or compartment syndrome.

Idiot.

Yes!! Exactly!!  And people were discussing the potential of synthol. And you were acting like it was completely out of question. Guess what, we are allowed to speculate too.
