Flex Wheeler had an Amazing physique. Flex Wheeler’s physique was way ahead of the competition. Chris Cormier and Tom Prince alike are great champions. Rip Tom Prince. You are not forgotten Champ.
I wouldn´t say he was ahead of the competition in terms of mass/development of the body. But the roundness of his muscles gave him an almost unbeatable look of a bodybuilding cartoon. The only problem was that Coleman´s muscles were very round aswell, and bigger....
he had a great physique that he ruined later on in his career and never worked hard enough to compete properly shredded like his competition. Unbeatable physique? oh please. It could've been but that's projection, as he was, his physique was definitely beatable and that's translated in his placings.
resulted to heavy synthol use, which you can clearly see in his biceps, they look like water balloons for gods sake. Plus his rear delts are "enhanced" as well.
I was there, brings back memories. Was in my early twenties, living in Venice and training at Gold’s. One day Charles walked up to me and my friend and says to her, “This guy’s got great shoulders.” That was a good moment.
the good ole days, levrone was training at our gym, he asked me if i had any ideas f o r a posing song. he was really impressive in person, nice fella though. i never bothered him though. he came backstage and congratulated my brother when won the Maryland in 93. i miss those days very much. 58 now still hittin it. kevin was doing lying leg curls one day and they looked like quarter horse hams , race horse , it was hard to comprehend how huge and separated they were. he looked like was around 280 imo, it was the best i ever seen his legs. i forget what year it was, but he trained at our gym the POWERHOUSE GYM in linthicum Md.
So crazy to think that while they were here training with Charles in the best gym in the world at that time, Ronnie was in Texas training in a sweat box on beat up, rusty equipment.
To say sweat box would be a bit of an exaggeration, Metroflex was as polished as a commercial gym could be in ‘99 . Ronnie was definitely not in some barn training.
@@executiverobbery Lmao you gotta be trolling. Metro has been in the same old industrial park since the day opened. No air or heat. I’ve lived in Arlington my entire life and can assure you it’s ALWAYS been grungy and hardcore
Back in the day you had to have a nice watch, gold bracelet, thick gold chain around the neck and a couple of rings on your fingers to make it right. And don't forget the expensive shoes as well. Those were the unspoken rules back then and one more thing...you had to be a member of the 405-bench club minimum just to have your propers. Back then bodybuilding was one of the top sports. Everybody tuned in to see who won the Olympia & Arnolds. The 1st thing you did was run to the supermarket and look at the magazines for pictures. It's totally different now, in AMERICA. In other countries it's still huge, but here assess to sooo many PEDs has made the bodybuilding look so easy to get.
CHRIS CORMIER is one of my all time favorite body builders, but NOBODY had a body like FLEX WHEELER!! NOBODY!! I often wonder how much did MR. GLASS charge them for coaching.
My guess is Flex is loading the T'bar with 10kg plates for greater range of motion. Doesn't look heavy, 50-60kg. Glass is always promoting quality over quantity. Still I've never seen Flex push or lift heavy lb's, his form is always spot on.
Flex wheeler your old friend from middle school Gomez saying congratulations what you done you might not be Mr Olympic you're better than that when they line you up with the Stars you are a star when the best could talk about you ain't nothing they could touch about you knowing that you wanted to be a bodybuilder when you're in 3rd grade I was there standing next to you when you told our teacher that you're going to be a bodybuilder but the little secret is you were doing something that nobody knew you were doing what I mean you and the teacher knows anybody wants to know I'll tell you first to remind you first before I say anything congratulations my brother from the Westside
Seeing these guys lift their tiny weights compared to Coleman makes me realize why Ronnie was so much bigger from the rest of the pack. It also makes me understand why Ronnie has screws in his spine and is unable to walk.
Because,you have not watched Ronie coleman (at his prime) who was his competition in some of those Mr.O, Flex undoubtedly was awesome but Ronie was even better.Nobody on earth there were or are who (also in their peak shape)could beat him in his absolute prime.
Which year do you mean by " the very first one"? Is it the 1998 mr o?, if it is then too i would disagree, because flex might have won (you are right here) if only there was nobody called Ronie as his competition.
Flex should have one a couple of Olympias at least. He looks how people actually dream of looking. Few strive, or dream about having a bubble gut. Damn "mass monsters" look like pregnant ninja turtles. Even Ronny and his gut was out of control at times. Mass monsters set bodybuilding back atleast a decade, maybe more.
neither Yates nor Coleman had bubble guts in 1993, 1998 and 1999. Far from it. Flex was small and soft, no amount of abs was going to change it. Bodybuilding is a sport of rules and has distinct judging criteria, who you as a viewer would rather look like IS IRRELEVANT. I also would look like Flex rather than look like Ronnie or Yates but I'm not ignorant and arrogant enough to claim that Flex ever deserved to beat them. 1993 Yates and 1999 Ronnie is greatness at its peak, 2 best versions of 2 best bodybuilders to ever live.

Everyone says he’s a nice guy, But as far as his training and what he used for supplementation I’ve heard a hundred different things.

Even in his mass monster mode, flex still so aesthetic, crazy..

Damn that must have felt good coming from him. It’s crazy how a few words from people you respect can change your life or perspective on yourself.
Flex's back while he's doing T-bar rows looks absolutely INSANE
Deadlift too..
Thanks for the video Bruce!!!! Olympia 99 was one of the greatest Olympias of all time
You’re welcome!
Maybe the greatest man...
Maybe? Imo it was the greatest by far
@@willthomas7666 wish my boy gunter was in it would have made it even more unreal!
No mobiles, no tripods , no women, no influencers. Proper gyms back then
Agreed on all but the women bro they are a heat gear up in motivation

Flex never won the Olympia but for me he had the best physique of all time.
Ronnie said he just didnt had the dedication
@@arslaanpasha3334 All that matters is the quality of the physique, whichever way its built and to my eyes Flex was the best.

Ronnie pra mim foi o melhor até 1998

Ronnie was a BEAST that's why

Thanks , MOC Video is Best
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for uploading all these battle for the Olympias, I love it
You’re welcome! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
The difference between Chris and Flex shoulders was overwhelming. Flex shoulders were amazing!
and full of oil.
flex had 3D like shoulders unreal!
Synthol lord. That’s not pure muscle! Look closely, that’s full of oil!
@@NarutoOnePiece0805 Yep, looks like Andrew Jacked shoulders.
Can never getting enough of those guys, that was then and this is now, I feel sorry for flex, is a good dude 😉 ❤️
That was so educational.
flex wheeler deserves at least five times Mr Olympia
No way, Shawn Ray does!
Ty broooo
In the 90's everyone had a gym membership trying to get to these guys level
Flex always said Chris Cormier was the strongest training partner he ever had. I believe it.
Sim muito insano
Such a gangsta era !! Love it
Is fun to watch back old school time training. Today's training mostly half reps that's it
Flex looked unreal
Shiiit it’s just legendary 3 gods in one frame , just like the dad and his sons 💜✨
Flex looks very depleted. Insanely round, Sultan of Symmetry
The 1999 Mr. Olympia contest.
My man Jay Cutler was in 14th place
.";-)
Flex had a phenomenal back great proportions overall
10:10 What is the wristwatch for in training ?? Everywhere in the Gym there is a big clock hanging on the wall !!😝😝😝

Chris’s back looked on point with the close grip pull downs. But yea, flex was in a league of his own!!
I wondered the same thing

Flex le plus belle athlétes des années 90 a 2000🤩
8:45 alguien sabe como se llama este ejercicio para espalda ? o es solo peso muerto ?
Tom Prince looking HUGE here RIP 🙏
Charles Glass always there for ya
At the very end I had to replay it 3x just to make sure. FLEX Was eating 15oz of Turkey every 3hrs lol
The Sultan of Symmetry baby please...
Seeing these guys lift their tiny weights compared to Coleman makes me realize why Ronnie was so much bigger from the rest of the pack. It also makes me understand why Ronnie has screws in his spine and is unable to walk.
Well flex lost his leg due to the kidney destruction as well
It was genetic. Ronnie was just doing insane amounts of weight for years and messed him up it's different.
Because with Charles Glass the system is very soft and look for the focus and the location of the muscle than heavy weight
@@marcosoterovaleta4142 love charles but i would have preferred the great Milos sarcev giant set routine instead
MOC Video is Best
Flex is a god here
Flex back muscles look crazy
When Snoop Dogg prepares you for the Olympia you should win
Nice cool bro
I need those Lats bro!💪
didnt know Snoop Dogg used to be a pro coach
Flex should have never touched synthol! It totally ruined his symmetry, he had the best physique in the history of bodybuilding.
Flex se merecía un Ms Olimpia
After watching this video I can’t see how Flex didn’t win at least 1 Mr.O
Because,you have not watched Ronie coleman (at his prime) who was his competition in some of those Mr.O, Flex undoubtedly was awesome but Ronie was even better.Nobody on earth there were or are who (also in their peak shape)could beat him in his absolute prime.
I seen all of Ronnie’s the very 1st one Tonnie won flex could’ve taken that 1
Which year do you mean by " the very first one"?
Is it the 1998 mr o?, if it is then too i would disagree, because flex might have won (you are right here) if only there was nobody called Ronie as his competition.
1998 was flexs sandow trophy!
Me encanta el sonido del gym😘💖❤💝😍🔥
Honestly flex's training intensity looks like a walk in the park compared to how Ronnie and Dorian trained.
If only Chris would have taken things more serious. He would have at least had 2 or 3 Arnold Classic titles. Maybe even an Olympia.
Amazing arms 🦾

Flex arms were insane!
Oil
Saw the Barbarian Brother in the back. Not sure which one.
Vc vê o olhar de concentração, não tinha brincadeirinha não, por isso que era outra era, não veremos mais isso, quem viu viu, quem não viu só no DVD 😅
Tom prince!! Wow good cameo
For everyone who's saying flex never enjoyed training
Flex used to go on zero carbs while prepping up
So its obvious
For someone who's that big and the mental pressure of being top was there
Obviously being depleted increases cortisol that's why he was not enjoying lol
And its war not a thing to enjoy
Look how clean, full, round and dense the muscles were, unlike today. Today's bodybuilders look like bloated noodles.
They clearly rely wayyy too much on drugs (insulin and hgh)
I hate to break it to you but Flex Wheeler is a poster boy for site enhancement. He had Rich Piana arms long after becoming skinny and retired.
None of these guys can't train hard like Dorian, even tho Chris tried 😂
@johnnyruledge6134 loool hater
@@albertomartincarcamo2380 not even trying to hate tho. Dorians mid section was awful and made him look blocky
👍💯💪I like.
The site enhancement oil is so obvious in his shoulders, bis and tris
Rip Tom prince 🙏🏾🕊
He has no more legs ,poor thing ! Where does that come from ?!
Flex overdoing the delt and bicep oil. Very obvious on lat pull down when compared to Chris’s less oiled muscle fibres.
rip tom prince
Estou pegando a essência
Can the trainer count to 10 or is 5 his limit?
Doing back, flexing chest in the mirror. 😏 I can relate.
To have those cuts and such a small waist. Flex was truly unreal. Looked like a real-life action figure. He looked not real plain and simple.
WHAT FLEX EAT AT END? RICE AND TURKEY?
Rice and tren
Chris Cormier has an amazing body and Flex makes him look like an amateur
No, chris was better at olympia 99 should have place 2nd
He isn´t really better from a sports perspective. He wasn´t even more massive. But his muscles were unbelievably round. Bodybuilding is 90% genetics.
Watching this video makes it pretty clear why Ronnie smoked these guys.
100%
They both look dry and ready for the stage!
The pull-ups aren't full range, even the forehead doesn't reach the bar. But it seems they do it on purpose. Any ideas why?
why should you wear a watch, while working out?
To check the time duh
