      They look fuckin crazy. You look at today's lineup and you're like ehh. I partly believe a lot of today's genetically gifted individuals no longer want to suffer from shitty politics or health issues which is why the Mr. Olympia is dry as fuck.

    Look at all these guys faces. Their conditioning was on another level. Look at Kevin's face during the interview. He looks emaciated. 90s bodybuilding was tough.

    • @cdubb2447
      @cdubb2447 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I think there's been a systemic effect of the shoulder and traps becoming disproportionately larger than the other muscle groups due to the potency of the drugs today and not being concerned with balance. Arnold's era obviously used PEDs but their potency was no where near today's. Since the delts and traps contain high levels of androgen receptors, they blow up too easy. The harder and more amount of the drug, the more they get that horrendous ninja turtle look. The 90s was the last era before this effect got out of hand.

      Look how "thin" Flex looks next to Kevin in that picture. Kevin's lats are much lower, fuller & thicker than Flex's. Levrone's delts have full & long muscle bellies as well. Flex looks better in the video but the high resolution photos show a different story - Kevin's lighter skin tone was being washed out by the stage lighting which gave Flex & Paul and the other darker skinned athletes an advantage at this show

  • @mikebird5148
    @mikebird5148 8 ปีที่แล้ว +108

    Bodybuilding was more majestic back in the 90's, it was more, mysterious, with social media today we see these guys post pictures and videos every day, so it's really nothing exciting to see them compete like it used to be, all people used to have were magazines to see these guys, I think social media has made the sport less spectacular, less surprising, you would hardly ever see these guys up until a show, now you see bodybuilders everyday on social media and it just makes the day of the contest less exciting IMO.

    @ImYourHuckleberry_29 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Thing with Kevin is his structure is so gifted that he looks athletic. The way his traps swoop down to his coconut delts and his low calves. To top it off he's git great arms. Despite not having the greatest back and slightly narrow clavicles he's always spot on.

      @mikebird5148 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cant wait to see him on the Olympia stage again, I don't think he will even make top 10 but seeing him compete again will be awesome, his wheels and his back were lacking in his prime so I doubt they will be superb now that he is much older.

    • @BonheurNtwari
      @BonheurNtwari 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Bird Man wheels were just fine back then. proportional to the rest of the body to say it better. but I agree with u on the back, his lower back especially was a weak point but kevin is kevin, he can do anything and everything that people think cant be done. that dude isn't like any other person. we shall just wait and see

    • @mikebird5148
      @mikebird5148 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was comparing his wheels with the top guys of today, Heath, Kai, Rhoden, but yea bro I agree with you, the dude is a genetic freak, I hope he proves me wrong and shows up close to what he used to look like, I dont doubt him at all, cheers mate! Bonheur fitness

    • @BonheurNtwari
      @BonheurNtwari 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Bird Man yeah true bro these guys are freaks but not aesthetic in my eyes. if kevin comes in close or better to what he looked like which i believe he fuckin can coz why not its kevin he might place top 6. people love him and its the look that everyone wants plus its good way to make more money for the federation

    • @mikebird5148
      @mikebird5148 8 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @PrinceArthas100
    @PrinceArthas100 8 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    Shawn Ray was off, Vince Taylor was good but no match for the top 3. Paul dominating from the front and side, but his back and posing were his downfall. Kevin wins more poses than Flex, assuming both show up in good condition.
    FDB-Flex
    FLS-Kevin
    RDB-Flex
    RLS-Kevin
    SC-Kevin
    ST-Kevin
    AT-even
    MM-Kevin wins the hands clasped, Flex has a better crab and hands on hips, so Flex wins the MM
    4 poses for Kevin, 3 for Flex, one could go either way

    • @bigstink9
      @bigstink9 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      capoman1 In the 90s Flex Wheeler had the best aesthetics in the sport. When he lost it was because he wasn't hard enough.
      But based off pure lines and possessing the most 'beautiful' artistic physique, he was untouchable.
      No one had rounder muscle bellies than Wheeler.
      Most fans were shocked when Flex lost. He body was that impressive when you saw him pose.
      Levrone looked good, but I always felt his awesome bodyparts didn't flow well together.
      You see it when he' stands there relaxed.
      He's got narrow clavicles and his back flair is too angular.

    • @sosissalam8665
      @sosissalam8665 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +bigstink9 relaxed yes but you can see here in all poses when they hit he looks rounder fuller and sharper especialy in most muscular pose
      flex got levrone in front double back double and abs and ties but rest of the pose levrone won and flex hems and glutes was soft

    • @turnippatrol4607
      @turnippatrol4607 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Flex has high lats and a weak back. Levrone's back is thick & full & fully tapered all the way down to the hips due to superior lat bellies. Flex's waist is slightly narrower but remember, the best back usually wins

    @torque122 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    levrone-Drier fuller condition and symmetry is second to none. Levrone was phenomenal here, but he hit his best in 2002 in my opinion.
    Flex just could never replicate his '93 ASC condition for the rest of his career.

    • @tunguyen-zo9ch
      @tunguyen-zo9ch 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      i know people stress about density and conditioning, but flex wheelers conditioning isn't that much of a gap anyway. What I see in 2:29 is that the hardness of flex is well displayed here when they are standing side by side.

    • @VerisimilitudeDude
      @VerisimilitudeDude 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      They actually did. Levrone and Flex were equal from the front, until they turned around and Flex easily beats him. Back development was Kevin’s Achilles heel.

    • @Wikingking
      @Wikingking 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@sedricrobinson9499 Common misconsception a.k.a. bullshit. His rear lat spread was the 2nd best in the entire lineup only after Dorian, while his back double was decent (his lower back lacks definition, but arms and traps were on point). Flex had an excellent back double (waistline above) but mediocre lat spread. So ultimately lower body development decided, which Kevin took easily and hands down (striated glutes, better hams). He was more conditioned than Flex, just look at his face. If anything, Flex was awarded 2nd, but still, this top 6 was deep af, it could have gone either way, but Kevin seems to be a legit winner.
