Not to rain on yer parade bro, but I think Wheeler at the ASC 1993 is the physique that's recognized as the best ever.
Great post nevertheless. Thanks for posting the video online.

I have been around this sport for 25 years..........been to many Olympia's, USA's, National's.........I have been to 100's of local shows and judged many as well. I have also competed at an elite level in powerlifting. Flex's physique at that particular time (93') was indeed the BEST EVER. The combination of muscle mass, quality, asthetics, symmetry..........has never been matched. If so..........show me.
The funny thing is that I have the video from the ASC 93 and Wheeler is at his best ever!! the true winner that day but................
Due to his long abdominal area (from waist to chest distance) standing relax and waiting to hear the runner up........ Labrada looked better and more symetrycal than Wheeler.
I said standing relax........ok?

i dont see why people love his 93 condition so much. i thought he looked his best in 2000, that was his best condition. i have never seen him so ripped, if you look in the battle for the olympia 2000, his veins were piercing his skin all over, he wasnt that ripped in 98 or 93.
Thanks for the video. I think I'll let you live another day.

Flex at the 93 AC was amazing, but had flaws.
Personally, I think there are THREE "best ever physiques" that are pretty much right up there in terms of overall greatness (but each has their flaws)/
They are (in no particular order):
Shawn Ray (1994 Olympia - perfection except for lats
Ronnie Coleman (2001 AC or 99 British Grand Prix - also amazing, except for calves and abs)
Flex Wheeler (1993 AC- pefection as well, except for lats (and calves).
I don't think bodybuilding has a definitive "best ever physique".
There are several contenders (like the three I posted above) but to pick one is totally subjective.
here are some pics:
Shawn, 1994 Olympia:
Ronnie, 2001 AC:
Flex, 1993 AC:
Its interesting to note that although all 3 had (glaring) flaws, the rest of their physiques were SO DOMINANT that their flaws were almost an afterthought.
Hey another Hulkster highjack thread , WoW thanks for sharing that pic of Coleman , I've never seen that before ::) notice the title of the thread , " Flex Wheeler 93 Olympia " anyway back to the thread .
He had an amazing year in 1993 , he was slightly off from his ASC win but still amazing , I was routing for Flex in 93 , Shawn thought he edged out Flex at that contest , but I maintain if he came in with his ASC shape he would have beat Yates !!
If you really admire Flex, buy his book.
He's about more than muscles, he almost lost his life from dieuretic use, which is a dumb price to pay just to win a trophy.
if you actually took off your cloudy, foggy, scratched and opaque ironage glasses, you would see that the discussion was also about Flex being the "best ever". I simply commented and showed that I don't think bodybuilding HAS a SINGLE best ever physique. It has several "best evers".
So, no, I did not hijack the thread. And, just because you have seen the Ronnie pic a million times does not mean that the new people on the board have. :P
thanks for the pic ND
Do you have a pic of labrada from that show ?
Genius check the title of the tread . its Flex Wheeler and you highjack threads thats what you do , you just can't stand for a moment anyone thinking that someone else is better than Pre-Gut Ronnie , it gets old bro .
you got old a long time ago Mr. "Dorian has better overall arms than Ronnie" ::)
agreed. there will be none of that in here. I was merely pointing out how retarded ND has been in the past.
isnt that ronnie in 1996?
Ronnie, 2001 AC:

Sean pre gut Ronnie flex andddd
Samir, no one mentions how crazy he looked in 83.
Shut the hell about, you are bringing all this crap into this thread, IT'S OLD get over it. Idiot
isnt that ronnie in 1996?
No one with a brain on this board believes most of the stuff that ND writes-the Dorian comment was nothing more a great example of this - oh wait, you probably agree with him ::).
I make a serious post about how bodybuilding has several "best evers" in a thread talking about how flex is the "best ever" (and I specificy mention Flex as one of them) and i am hijacking the thread?? Bullshit.
Some of you are acting like assholes today >:(
Well I am a youngster in this sport so I am only judging by the billion pics I saw . But I have never seen pic of the 93 ASC so if ND have some, feel free to post them ;)
Amazing back
This thread is about Flex at the 93 olympia. So don't bring Ronnie or anyone else into it. There are threads more proper for that to be done in. And for my opinion, 99 gran prix Coleman was his best ever, he was bigger and better conditioned than at the 01 ASC
