sigh, perfect health and a "bad" myostatin gene arent antonyms. Myostatin stops the body from creating "too much muscle". If the body had too much muscle it would need too much fuel, and from an evolutionary standpoint, humans want to burn the minimal amount of calories so they have to hunt less and have a better chance to survive. Theres a breed of cow without the myostatin gene, i think its the blue something or rather, anyway, this cow has a massive amount of muscle because its myostatin isnt stopping its body from making all that muscle...so flex wheeler and anyone else with a non functioning myostatin gene can still be in perfect health

Thats not what i'm referring to. The article that said he had a different myostatin gene (or lack of) also stated he had perfect health. As we are aware, one of the reasons (if not the reason) he left the sport was due to serious organ problems (specifically his kidneys, which I believe came close to failing). Such a fasle claim helps prove that the atricle was indeed fraudulent. More evidence to support the fact that he didn't have this genetic advatange is that at the moment he looks like crap .According to scientific research, if you don't have the myostatin gene, regardless of your activies you should have very low bf and a large amount of muscle.
I seriously doubt that Flex had any sort of rare genetic mutation that allowed for him to be the bodybuilder he was... he was simply a great bodybuilder of his time period who used a lot of drug.

This isn't a recent photo, but I can't find the one time refering too. You can see though if he actually did actually lack the myostatin gene his bf would be much lower then this and would be closer to his comp size. Realize in this photo it's likely he is working out with weights still, and is obviously doing some sort of trainning.
Example of a cow that lacks the myostatin gene
Example of a human baby that lacks the myostatin gene

Say hello to my dad and grandparents for me Why are you in Warsaw? j/w
I dont believe its FW, based on one thing, his clavicles sucked! You need huge clavicles, its not something that you can lack. But everything else he had was amazing. I think Brian Buchane is overlooked, the guy had the best waste, huge sweeping lats, great legs for his era, full and peaked biceps, I dont see any weakpoints aside from calves and his look was just sureal. There's no bodybuilder that im more jealous of in the genetics dept.Sudbury Ontario championships july june 11 2011 - 5th light heavy weight class
London Ontario championships nov 26 2011 - 2nd heavy weight class
Next shows - Missisauga championship May 19th and Ontario championship June 2nd

Chris Cormier, Victor and Ronnie Coleman at the moment..
Thought Cormier easily beat Jay Cutler at the 2004 AC, hell even Dorian thought so.
Cormier has great size, thickness and the best shape around....Here's Chris Cormier competiting with Flex and Ronnie

Never understood the appeal of Paul Dillet.........Just never cared for his physigue and I can cocnur about his training habits. Quite some time ago I was training at a gym up jersey when Dillet was in town. Ended up doing legs at the same time as him. 3 plates on the leg press and very low intensity. From my observation not the hardest worker in the gym by far. But heck he must have done something right since he is a pro and i am not LOL
