Flex wheeler 99 photshot

[Larfleeze]

His face is definitely different

How does he look like a mess???

Well, put in perspective that he finished second at the olympia. How could this physique even compare slightly to RC 1999? Also put in perspective that it's Flex Wheeler we're talking about. Comparing Flex to Flex, he does look like a mess in 1999. Arms overshadow basicly everything, RLS and BDB doesnt pop and his chest is lagging.

I also agree and in getting that size he also ruined kidneys which basically ended his career. Had he not play the size game he would if been around a lot longer IMO

Would have nice to have seen Flex do it for another few years for sure. He could have had another 5-6 years in him for sure. Too bad that the judges would never have given him an Olympia during Ronnie's reign. I always wondered if Ronnie didn't win in 98 how bodybuilding would have evolved from then on.

Looks so oiled up and smooth. Just look at his biceps/triceps and delts. Not a fan at all of this package.

Much much much prefer 1992-1996 Flex.

This is what I thought too for this video. Flex from a few years earlier is my all time favorite physique, but here although vascular he doesn't have the striations you see at other points earlier in his career.

Amazing back at 58sec..

ehhh.. his back in 93 was so much more amazing...

Nice comparison Sammy !! What went wrong with his physique?

Nice comparison Sammy !! What went wrong with his physique?

trying to play the size game seemed to have lost all his striations and the prettiness of his physique. the oil didn't help either


his muscles would just pop out in 93. maybe it had to do with diuretics as well

You do realize this shot from 1993 was from a contest.......and the shot from 1999 was in the gym.....not a contest. Just making sure you realize this.

Well I wouldn't say lost his physique completely, but definitely not cut like he was, almost no striation. Nice back comparison pic. I was amazed that everyone thought he looks great here. For another bodybuilder, maybe
but this is Flex Wheeler. Very inferior package he has there.

i haven't seen bfto 99 in a couple months, but aren't those gym pics/photoshoot of flex 6-8 weeks out?

flex and cormier appeared twice in that vid at different weeks of their prep
