Title: If Flex compete in the 2003 Arnold, would he have won?
Post by: Parker on May 05, 2006, 11:56:56 PM

Flex got third at the 2003 Ironman, but he usually uses the Ironman as a warm-up for the Arnold, which he historically comes in tighter for. Would Flex have won it, or would Flex have had serious health problems (death) due to the extreme dieting  that he would have undergone between the two contests.

No, I saw the 2003 ironman and even Melvin took him in almost every pose.  Jay was too massive for flex even if Flex was tighter..

Flex was at the end of his rope anyway.  Like Shawn, he did not play the size game and by that point the competition was just too strong...

At 03 shape probably not but if he was in his ~98 shape then it would have been a close one and could go either side.

Flex played the size game more than any other aesthetic bodybuilder, in the history of bodybuilding.

Flex's arms looked suspicious at the 2003 Ironman - just way too big and soft.

Chris Cormier was told that one of the reasons why Flex won the 2000 Arnold, was because of his superior delts....You know the ones that had synthol in them.
