Excuse my ignorance, I do agree he looked good, and do not doubt he indulged in viscous assistance, but thats the usual give-away(deformed bellies), where were his sites? ???

this months musclemag has a section on which bodybuilders in the past had the best bodyparts.  They listed Flex as having the best calves!!    Should have went ahead and mentioned Lou also!

Do you have any idea how many guys use/used synthol that you would never suspect by looking at them?

Supposedly he was the pro rumoured in Muscle Mag that had over 150 sites. He had a plastic surgeon perform the shots so he wouldn't scar himself or ruin his symmetry. So the rumour says...

Or did he do it himself?  Here he describes shooting Esiclene before the synthol craze. "When it came to shooting Esiclene, I specialized in pinpoint accuracy.  man, I literally set the standard! What made me so good was that I used common sense.   I didn't want just one side of my shoulder to be awkwardly blown up, so I used a T-shaped, multiple-site injection formation.  I would go straight down and then straight across so the entire front side would be full and even my rear delts would be full, but perfectly symmetric."--Flex

"If you compare Esiclene with Synthol, the Synthol is dirty one and the Esiclene is the clean one.  Synthol don't give you the high either, it just hurts like hell!  There ain't nothing cool about Synthol at all.  It's nothing to look forward to."--Flex

This coming from one of the great bodybuilders....and some question why BB's are NOT considered athletes.  Man, sounds like he spent more time prepping needles and spots than he did training....What a joke!   Obviously Flex would have had a great physique without it.  He just wouldn't have had the freaky fullness he was basically known for.  I hope kids starting out in the competitive side of this freak show pay attention to interviews like this one and see BB for what it is today....A chemical game...The "sport" left a long time ago and only a FEW can still be considered "athletes".

What do you wanna do peel away his skin and muscle to reveal the synthol???  How ridiculous is your question, "where".  Maybe I misunderstood your question, you realize that Flex has spoken about synthol, right?

He did mention "spotting" in his calves.  He even said Shawn knew about it, and that was why shawna was making a fuss about implants.  He knew there were no implants, but he wanted attention drawn to the area.

Flex wrote in his book that he used synth many times.. specifically in dozens of locations in minute amounts so that it wasn't obvious yet as a whole would make everything that much fuller so it wasn't obvious. His rear/side delts were probably the most noticeable near the end of his "mass" battles with Ronnie.

According to the IFBB rulebook so is steriod use  :D

His arms looked very abnormal like blown up balloons. As far as his physique he was one of the biggest guys there is. Not because of his weight because other guys have tons of extra weight but in the wrong places. All these mass monsters have 4 or 5 extra inches of waist anyway so what good is that? Flex's arms, and legs were HUUGE and so were his shoulders. Back was great though not the biggest.

Yeah - along with every other drugs these guys take. Steroids are illegal, synthol is illegal [on the bodybuilding stage] Flex just happen to get away with his synthol use 'cause he actually looked good using it.

Flex never mentions injecting synthol in his book. Just talks about duretics and steriods. However he obviously did in his calves, delts, tris and biceps. He was also a big esceline user.

If you can't see the inherent difference between synthol and steroid use in pro BBing then I can't help you there.

I get what you're saying - to you it was fortunate that Flex never won the Olympia because synthol is cheating. The point I'm trying to make is you've gotta admit that although these so-called synthol users look absolutely horrible, Flex looked amazing! You could see his use of the oil, but his physique wasn't grotesque. It actually looked good on Flex - and Flex only.

He was acceptable as a competitor as long you stand far away so as to not have the synthol look so obvious or if you don't know what synthol is he may look good with it, either way i am anti-synthol all the way :)

I have a pic I'm trying to post, ND posted it before. It is a ad with Flex ina black and whit leotard, Lenda Murray, and Paul Demayo. Flex's Calves look insane, almost as big as his arms. That is when I think he was doing Escieline heavil, or he had a good calve routine :-\

 I think he was on the esiclene. A damn shame since Coleman won without massive calves and Flex could have too. Our "sport" can be depressing sometimes.

Which gets me, why do people believe the whole 'implants" thing. That he took his implants in and out, like soccer pad inserts, that makes no sense. It would cause major scarring, if not an infection.
Shawn admitted here on getbig, he was trying to get Flex off his game, and brought it up.
Esiclene he admitted to, so there you have it.

According to a certain pro, a lot of guys discretely use synthol. It's the idiots who go overboard that get the bad rap.
