FLEXONLINE provides update on bodybuilder Hidetada
News / December 30, 2007

Flexonline recently posted this update on their forums on Hidetada: FLEX EXCLUSIVE! Yesterday morning Saturday, Dec 29th at 7am, a friend of the Flex family went to go visit Hide for the 1st time since his arrest on Dec 8th. Hide was in surprisingly good mood and spirits.  He looks good and he said he is really happy about all the support he has been getting from various people incuding the jail guards.  Many are bodybuilding fans and of course know who he is, they have been bringing bodybuilding mags for him to sign on a regular basis, so even in there, Hide is a star.  LOL!! He has been buying tuna cans and hard boil eggs to stay on his diet and he has been doing push ups, sit ups and pull ups with his own bodyweight to sort of keep up with the workouts a little. Right now he has attorneys helping him out through all this so he’s not alone (which is very important, I’m sure you can imagine).  The fact that a lot of people think about him and support him in this time of needs really makes him happy. He is awaiting his 1st trial…
