Title: sick of the flex wheeler hype
Post by: disco_stu on July 25, 2006, 02:31:18 AM

the guy had great bis and tris and delts.

lats faded away from the front, not fantastic from the rear. great back double bi shot.

not the greatest quads ever, lacking sweep and mass. hams nothing to write home about. Calves, well what happened there...one day nothing, the next day, BAM! undefined, unflexable calves...

pecs were ok, but nothing spectacular by pro standards.

so how come all the hype?

apart from the beach body characitur-ish flare and unreal muscel bellies of arms and delts, i dont see the big deal.


compare to levrone who has the bis, tris, pecs, lats, quads, calves and hams...

compare to many others who dont have as glaring weaknesses.

with the calf implants, in my opinion that makes him ''ineligable'' for greatness.


the 93 Arnold awarded the show to him for dryness and good bodyparts and against the existing competition. Not the best competition and complete package. yet so many rave about that show.

context please.

If you're mentioning calves then delts and arms need a mention too, and still not as big as Ronnie's....

just check out pics of Flex in 1993 and 1998.  No BBer has EVER come close to being that perfect.  I was in the crowd at both the 93 and 98 ASC, and i've never seen anything like that before.  Ronnie at the 98 O was great and again in 2003, but Flex was just sick.  I never thought a human being could look like that

Lost credibility when you declared his quads lacking sweep and mass, and his hams aren't great. His legs were pretty big for someone competing at 215-232. Plus they had double-striations, I can only think of one competitor now with those cuts and it is Darrem Charles. Flex's hams were full and round (look at the 93 Olympia as proof).

The hype was how he flowed together, the man wasn't the biggest, but it was how he looked.

And if Mike Matarazzo, Markus Ruhl, Darrem Charles, Jay Cutler, Gunter, and a host of said that they would rather have his shape....I think that speaks volumes to your question.

Flex's hype is well earned and deserved even long after he's been retired. The guy is a multiple Arnold Classic winner. You can't really say that, dude. His symmetry was phenomenal and he was one of the very few who didn't have an HGH gut. A site all to farmiliar on pros now.

Incredible exaggerated lines,and packed so much size on small joints it probably hurt.his conditioning suffered though as he got heavier.but a hall of famer for sure if you consider that in bbing terms.

What???... are you FUCKING RETARDED or something??...Or do you just want to start some kind of argument here? If you have fallen that far out of focus for the sport then there is always CROCHETING, KNITTING, MACREME, NEEDLEPOINT or some other activity for the BLIND like yourself. Flex had one of the BEST BODIES ever and was one of the BEST POSERS EVER!!! and certainly if there was a person who should have one the Olympia it should have ben him, but her like some others were over looked, overlooked, overlooked...

omg the replies just confirmed that this board is full of people who are either blind or just dont ''get it''.

i pointed out the flaws- they are plain as day to see.

the insults arent needed.

what is needed is a response worthy of replying to- which i havent received.

ive been here since 1998 and watched them come and go since the early 80s.. dont patronise me children.

i repeat, any bb who uses implants is a cheat.

look at the other points made.

it is very possible to find other bbs out there that dont get the same hype that have better packages.

do i need to spell it out?....BB shows should not be won based on arms and delts.

for those who cant see the comment about the quads i urge you to look at some photos.

similarly lats.

ill give you an idea of BB in the year s 1990-2006.

first, symmetry, left and right.
then there's proportion, muscle bellies across the board, right size complementing each other.

then there's weaknesses or lack thereof.

then theres aestethics.
then theres mass and definition.


in the contests Flex won, he has great aestethics and great definition. Great mass in certain areas and certainly symmetry.
Proportion is arguable though as ive pointed out, and the weaknesses are there as mentioned, theres also the mass question with flex...tehn, dare i say it YET again.. calf implants- i.e. no definition at all from the knee down.

\im no hater at all...thanks for the haterade jerkoff.

but one of the best bb ever?...this is the hype im talking about..i mean, gimme a break.

put on some quad size, get some real calves, add a load of mass on flex's back and then yes, i agree with ya'll. But that's the point, he didnt have that.

levrone does, Ronnie in his prime did, haney for his time did, Samir did for one show, arnold did for his time and judging standards (no weaknesses), heck Shawn Ray and Lee Labrada deserve a mention also as both of them were complete.

Flex was never complete.

after all the mandatories and comparisons, flex always had a pose or two where i thought he wasnt top dog, yet if we go by this board of adolescents and intellectually challenged wanna bes (oh yeah, let's see your picture!...ho hum)...(ps you know you dont have to be Mr.O to be able to form an opinion and comment on something?....have you an opinion on healthcare?....but you're not the health minister are you?....dumb ass.

im done.

if you get it, good, if you dont, disagree with some class , dont reply at all, or go back to sleeping with your sister.

disco stu, you're totally ignoring the reasons why Flex IS one of the greatest of all time, such as symmetry and proportion, and trying to get us to look at his so-called weaknesses.  what if i pointed out levrone's so-called weaknesses (such as slightly assymetrical chest post-tear, lack of genetic biceps peak, poor quads in 2003, blahblahblah).  but i'm still talking about one of the greatest bodybuilders ever.  you want us to realize that Flex was "all hype" and tell us to ignore all the good shit about him?  get the hell outta here. 

besides, the guy's been retired since 2002.  obviously he's made an impression on YOU, cuz your balls are all knotted up 4 years later.

Where did you get this, Shawn admitted on here he said this to get Flex off his game, kinda like an Ali move. Shawn also admitted on here that he didn't or couldn't confirm anything with Flex's calves. Flex did admit in MD that he used Esceline (sp) which leads one to conclude that he used it not only for his delts but for his calves. If you look at pics from 1992, 93,95, 96, whenever he flexed his calves they look like a normally Flexed calf. If you look at the Hardbody video, he jokes about his "calf implants", and he does a side leg flex, in which you see his calf flexed like anormal calf should look. And one can't take implants in and out, without major scarring. So this rumor has been debunked
