In my opinion Flex was the most complete modern bodybuilder to hit the stage with the bone structure of a 150 pound man and the mass of a giant.Please call me ignorant or an idiot for this statement.
Were his genetics that good to take out guys 30 to 40 pounds heavier than him or was this an illusion he created.In 98,99 at the MrO would he have taken Ronster out with his 93 Arnold conditioning.
I am an unashamed Flex fan and thought he should taken the 99MrO sure he was not the hardest in that show but his Flow and Muscle density i thought was superior to any one else?.
Please if you do not like Flex as a person please show an unbiased post of his Physique.Anyway Flex,Arnold,Sergio are my favourite past bodybuilders and i think it will be another decade before we see any one else with those genetics.Hulkster i am ready for your Ronster on slaught. ;D

Probably one of the only pro's who looked great with synthol.
I don't know whetter it was synthol what was responsable for his drastic change in mass especially his arms or something else.

1993 ASC Flex in my opinon could beat ANY version of Dorian Yates & Ronnie Coleman .

Flex had some big guns he said his arms where about 23.5 inch, thats huge for somebody with height of 5.10.

Very Cool Physique - 90's version of Robbie Robinson. Best of all time? No Way. Coleman's all time best destroys Flex's all time best. So Does Sergio's all time best.

I'm leaning towards you being insane.

I'm leaning towards you being insane.
me too!
he was narrow, no back width just detail, arms are totally disproportionate, high lat insert, weak calves, later used something in his shoulders and calves and it widely said thatthose years were his best. i think he looked better when he first started, like the picture ND posted. i think guys like coleman,yates, ray, etc. in their prime would still beat him. will he be one of the best yes, the best no!
-
You're not insane. He was one of the best. ;D

yes, he's one of the best.. in smallest lats

he was the best !

that looks unbelievable! nice pic!
-
He definately is in the "Top" 10% of all time 8)
-
he's ok, but he's clearly not the best ever. the admitted synthol use alone dq's him for being the best ever.
from head to toe, shawn ray was more compete and better. it seemed that wheeler got favortism from judges despite not showing up at his best - like they thought it was still the 1993 arnold classic.
overall, i think he's a bit overrated.
-
i didnt know he ever used synothol. when did he admit this and to who?
-
supposedly he admitted it in his book. as well as his bs story about the ninjas.
instead of competing against dorian yates again, flex made some story up that he successfully defended an attack of 4 azn's trying to car jack him. successful, in that his car was no stolen and he wasnt hurt badly. he showed up at the 97 Olympia, with some banges on his fingers.
dorian called him out. he said that flex never stated what his injuries were and why he couldnt compete. flex never responded or gave anyone an indication to the extent of the injuries.
in 93, after the Olympia, Flex called Dorian "untouchable".

Flex may be the most symetrical/aesthetic bb ever. Tiny joints, huge guns, etc. Unreal proportions.

Flex is pretty close to perfection, but his torso could've used more beef. Thats why if we are talking about the most complete guys I will go with Sergio, Haney or even Arnold.
-
Flex would have been perfect if he had lats, more back and chest thickness, ripped glutes and hams, and real calves.
Other than that, he was perfection!

You would know a biased opinion wouldn't you? ;)

he has something to that affect in the MD article he did a year or 2 ago.
symetrical maybe
asthetic to some
proportionate not at all

At the 1993 Arnold He had ripped glutes and Hams. He only had that when he was at a lighter bodyweight.
-
HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST OF ALL TIME. NOT THE BEST. I WOULD SAY KEVIN LEVRONE 92' 95' OR 2000. LEE HANEY, RONNIE COLEMAN 98' 05'. FLEX LOOKED INCREDIBLE IN THE 98' ARNOLD !!!!! TO ME THAT WAS PERFECTION. HE HAD THE BEST GENETICS OF ALL TIME.
-
Synthol violates my beliefs >:( so he is not even in my top 15, before synthol though he looked awesome but had some weak poses.
-
Sergio Olivia's take on best bodybuilder..
There are a few. One of the best right now is Flex Wheeler. I also like Shawn Ray and Ron Coleman. I compare myself to Flex Wheeler, a little bit. He reminds me of myself, with a tiny waist. My back was much bigger, though. He is the only one with a really complete physique.

Guess your not too insane..

"Then there's Dorian Yates. He has a belly like a cow and no arms."
That's funny coming out of a man who was more water logged than the titanic.

Bro Sergio had the best physique ever! (after me)
I think he is entitled to judge any bodybuilder he pleases!
-
slightly off topic: that was a really cool Sergio interview.
I laughed out loud at his comments about Yates:
Now, Lee Haney is my friend and I have a lot of respect for him, but there is no way in the old days that Lee Haney would have won the Mr. Olympia. His physique is unproportional -- a man with a back, but no arms or calves. Then there's Dorian Yates. He has a belly like a cow and no arms. That is not a complete physique. That is not proportional or symmetrical.
I was a little suprised by the Haney comments.
His comments about big ron being one of the best is right on though! :D
I am guessing that is a really old interview (late 90's?) but cool none the less.

I would guess the interview is around '96. Hence when ronnie was much smaller. Hate to thing what Serg would say about Ron "big gut" Coleman now :o

"The Myth"

pretty sure it was 98
-
Gotta love this shot, extremely freaky for this time, but for a man knocking Haney proportion, anyone find it odd that his arms are bigger than his legs :-\

who's arms are bigger than his friggin legs?

I would have had to be at least after his first Olympia win, otherwise I don't think he would have said Ronnie was one of the best just yet.
We all know that before the 98 O. Ronnie was practically a nobody.

Before the 98O, ronnie was hardly a "nobody"...looking back on it now, he was getting fucked. And you gotta credit him, he never ONCE bitched about anything. My favorite shot of Ronnie is the one of him posing after training in his first video, the front double biceps. Wasn't as aesthetic as wheeler, but he was simply freakier. 98,99 he looked great after that it's just a train wreck just like dorian
