Thanks for that interesting bit of info delta9mda. I'm shocked that no one else on getbig has ever brought up the fact that Flex Wheelers body fat was measured at 0.0% at Golds gym. Must be some type of record.

couldn't have been 0.0% because oil is fat.

Well the bodyfat measurements do not lie, as during the commentary for the 93 Olympia , Jim Quinn stated that Flex had a skinfold measurement done at Golds and it was 0.0%, the lowest ever tested there.

skinfold is not so acurate

Well apparently during the commentary for the 93 Olympia , Jim Quinn stated that Flex had a skinfold measurement done at Golds and it was 0.0% the lowest ever tested at Golds. Either Jim Quinn is full of shit and Flex did not have a 0.0% bodyfat or you are unable to recognize the fact that Flex had the lowest ever bodyfat tested at Gold's of 0.0%, as stated by Jim Quinn during the commentary for the 93 Olympia. Personally I think it is true that Flex had a 0.0% bodyfat because Jim Quinn stated that Flex had a skinfold measurement done at Golds and it was 0.0% the lowest ever tested at Golds.

Figo, I will definetly check up on what Flex Wheelers bodyfat% was at the 93 O. If I can't find the answer maybe one of the other Getbig members can lend a hand.

o.o%! Thats unbelievable! But that begs the question... How did Jim know?

Mars · « **Reply #111 on:** July 01, 2006, 04:30:12 AM »

Maybe he knew Flex did not ate fat foods so that wouldn't be more then 0,0 percent?

Figo · « **Reply #112 on:** July 01, 2006, 04:42:09 AM »

So Jim based his comment during the 93 O. that he knew for a fact Flex's bodyfat was 0.0%, on an educated guess due to the fact that he did not consume fatty foods?

I thought Jim made his comments because Flex had a skinfold measurement done at Golds and it was 0.0% the lowest ever tested at Golds. But I could be wrong $:-\$

Skinfold measurements do not account for fat around the heart, fat in between muscles...Only Subcutanous fat..So it's possible flex got measured @ around 0%..That doesn't mean he was @ 0% bodyfat..He could have been around 2-3%

Didn't Jim Quinn state that Flex had a skinfold measurement done at Golds and it was 0.0%, the lowest ever tested there?

I seem to remember something like that, don't quote me though

Rocket, I wont quote you but I will quote Jim Quinn.

"Flex had a skinfold measurement done at Golds and it was 0.0% the lowest ever tested at Golds"

Mike is correct. Jim Quinn said that they did a skin fold measurement which showed 0.0% bodyfat on Flex Wheeler at the Gold's in Venice one week before the 93 Mr. Olympia. He also said Flex was the only bodybuilder to ever do that.

Guys, this thread is hilarious. Anyone who believes you could survive with even 2% bodyfat is a complete and utter idiot (ala Dorian 1997 at 271 pounds...complete Bullshit). The body requires some fat to function. Without it your neurons would not work. Also, fat is present to protect vital organs such as Gerota's fascia around the kidney (http://www.whonamedit.com/synd.cfm/1348.html). Trust me, even bodybuilders who reach the extreme of 3% are not feeling too hot. That is a condition they can hit for a few days max before they get to a more healthy five percent or so. Jim Quinn's claims are fallacy and meant to inspire awe and adulation. In reality, they are laughable.

Figo · « **Reply #119 on:** July 01, 2006, 02:56:32 PM »

So did Jim lie?

Was Flex Wheelers bodyfat not measured at 0.0% two weeks out, and in fact he went on to say at the 93 O it was the lowest ever measured at Golds Venice? Say it aint so...

No, rest assured Jim Quinn wasn't lying when he stated that Flex Wheelers bodyfat was scientifically tested with calibrated calipers to be exactly 0.0% of his total body mass. This compelling story was revealed during the telecast of the 1993 Mr Olympia Bodybuilding Contest held in the city of Atlanta, Georgia.

Of course he was lying. Flex Wheeler is still alive, right? If so, Quinn was lying, since what he claimed is a medical impossibility.

I dunno goatboy... I recently choked a hooker out, and the last thing she told me before blacking out was that Jim Quinn stated that Flex had a skinfold measurement done at Golds and it was 0.0%, the lowest ever tested there.

Well, I don't care what any of you morons say, Jim Quinn said that Bill Smith did a skin fold measurement which showed 0.0% bodyfat on Flex Wheeler at the Gold's in Venice one week before the 93 Mr. Olympia. Jim also said Flex was the only bodybuilder to ever do that.

There you have it folks, if Jim Quinn says it's true, then it's definitely true. His word is as good as Chick's.

He also said that he saw water freeze at 56 degrees Fahrenheit, the sun rise in the west and set in the east, water turn into wine, and straw being spun into gold.

Despite the fact that all of these things are impossible, if Jim Quinn said it, I believe it, dammit!

You know Goatboy, Chick has indeed spun straw into gold. This is a fact, Jim Quinn said so.
