I honestly think he will look even worse than Levrone did in 2016, but he has a chance of not placing deadlast just cause of the ridiculously low weight limit. Arms have 4 inches of oil in them, he has way too many tattoos; overall I see no way for him to do damage. At least he might not end up in the hospital because you don't need to "kick things into high gear" for this division, he really can't afford to with one borrowed kidney.
edit: forgot about his scar around his stomach from the kidney operation.

03-03-2017, 01:07 PM #4I don't think age is as relevant of a factor here as the open class. Thing with Flex is he looked completely done at his last show in 2003, his muscles looked chemically burned. Then there's the tattoos, the kidney operation and scar, the suspect arms. I could see Toney Freeman doing damage in the classic physique division and he's only a year younger than Flex.Originally Posted by Unbiasedfan

He can win, no doubt.
Open class, hell no. But CP doesn't require insane amount of size...just proportion and conditioning which Flex can totally do.
Especially if you consider that Danny was just a noob fan who trained under Flex back in the day.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

This is him in 2002, after his kidney problems when he was down in size. He claimed he was "natty" this year.
With the rules and weight limit this is the best you could hope for with him the classic division. But im not sure even if he can bring this level at over 50.Music Crew

Glad to see another legend coming back and showing the young guns how its DONE. Will not be surprised to see him do some serious DAMAGE in the division. Keep in mind he was continually one of the top 3 bodybuilders on the planet. People have traveled thousands of miles to be trained by him.

03-06-2017, 06:31 AM #12Well like that one guy said Darrem Charles does pretty well. Classic Physique is like the Minor Leagues, so it's not really a stretch to say that he could do some damage, as opposed to the whole Levrone thing, which was ridiculous.Originally Posted by Loctus

Isn't Flex planning on coming back in the open class or did he say he will be doing classic physique? CP he may have a chance. Open - no way.
Progressive overload + progressive eating = gains. Simple as that!

He has 1 working kidney
His arms are full of oil and look silly now
I doubt he will do any damage, but at least it's entertaining. Hopefully he doesn't mess up his health further though.

With oil in his arms? I dont think so
But would be cool if he could pull it off since he was classic physique to start with

03-23-2017, 10:00 PM #18Exactly, just like with Lee Priest. Flex was a big user of esiclene, which is inflammatory but doesn't stay in the arms permanently, unlike synthol.Originally Posted by Coal Man
