Flex Wheeler to Return to the Olympia Stage This Year

[KevinSorbo]

I just heard about this but seems to not be that recent. Flex is making a comeback and doing the Classic Physique Olympia this year.

Don't really see it with all the oil in his arms but best of luck to him. I'll have the same expectations I had of Levrone - none.

[Salden]

Before the oil he had an almost perfect physique.
Saw him back in 1993 or 1994 at a guest appearance and he was announced as the future Mr Olympia.

[IvanNorge]

Funny thing is he keeps bashing on all the people stating that he has 'synthol arms'

But he does seem to have oil especially in his triceps. They just don't look normal

His arms are fine, and if his body has any semblance to what it did during his bbing career then he'll do very well in the division.

I feel that "fine" is a bridge too far. They look odd.

elbows too pointy

I'd love to have arms as 'odd' looking as that

[anonkunbrah]

didnt he blow out a kidney?

Yes, he did :

That's why he's only doing classic physique (won't need as much gear)

[MillerTime07]

He has "unfinished" business in the IFBB. I'm looking forward to seeing him come in and teaching these young guns a thing or two!

[jamez123]

His arms are fine,

Well, we'll see come contest day.

[JigPig]

Wonder how his kidney donor feels that flex is on the sauce now.

[Loctus]

Wheeler's arms are so ****ing weird. Looking at them relaxed/normally they looked oiled to **** and back. Then in the training clip he released doing arm work you see full striations in the entire bicep, tricep looks fine too. So confusing.

[Kiwi_]

They really don't look any different to how they always did. He just now has an atrophied top part of his forearm, like Levrone and Cutler and Branch etc.

[Diamhea]

For reference, this is how he looked in '02 with a rushed prep.

Flex should read the "caption" at the bottom of my post, and understand that in his case he should multiply it by x100....

Even if he doesn't take any gear (which of course he will) just the stress of metabolizing the additional protein is too taxing on a transplanted kidney. Flex, when your ego is larger than your brain, at least start looking for a cemetery plot so it's less hassle for your family after you die.

Definitely looks good, probably 2nd best out of all the retired 90s greats, only KL is ahead of him there. That said, his waist looks significantly wider, and his kidney scar looks bad. I'll be impressed if he places in the top 10.

Looks good for his age but his past oil use compounded with his melted forearms make him look odd. His loose abdominal skin is concerning, if it's visible in these pics, it'll be very visible on stage (Kevin's skin didn't show signs of aging till we saw him take it off at the posedown v Cedric) . This will be even worse than the 2016 Lev showing but I don't think he'll place last if he shows up in respectable condition, he does have the size.

[deathmetal1992]

lol flex on the defensive about his forearms. It's clear his forearms can't comeback with any training. The insertions have receded very close to his bicep.

For some reason this only happens to older individuals who were heavy lifters and aas users. My dad is around the same age as Flex and his forearms haven't melted.

I don't think his arms have oil. They're striated as fuark. His delts, maybe.

That being said, i dunno about what placing, but I think he can put on a good show if he's in shape.

[203mh]

I don't see him winning, but don't see him coming in last like Levrone either... we'll see

[knot4reel91]

I always wonder if his kidney is from a family member or a deceased patient. I find it hard to believe that an American hospital ethics committee would approve the organ transplantation into an individual with such obvious and ongoing aas use.

It did nt stop Heath or Cutler from winning.

Here is prime Cutler from 2011.



Flex looks great.

[deathmetal1992]

15th place incoming although I have a feeling the 16th place guys will look better.

From Flex: Trust me, I'm not delusional there is no way possible for me to achieve my 93 look that was over 24 years ago. But my goal is to come in 85 to 90% of this look. At the age of 52 that would be an incredible feat. GAME ON.

What is that? It looks like an alien in his arm. Is that from oil then?

Looks like some sort of tumor
