    Flex Wheeler down to "normal" size??

    hey!

    just finished at the gym and there was a bloke mouthing off saying how Flex wheeler has lost so much size that you wouldnt even have thought he`d been a pro?
    Im very doubtful about this!


    just wondering if this was true and if anybody had any pics?

    Cheers
    Tony

    I read an article where he said that it was caused by a hereditary(sp?) disease, and eating too much protien and tomatoes. Protien and tomatoes?!?!?! I dont think so Flex.

    i think maybe from massive steroid abuse over a very long period of time...

    i read an article by Tom Prince and he was saying how important it is to get bloodwork done if you are to use steroids, because he never did and it caught up to him

    I think it was a combination of fam history and excessive diuretic use. Maybe I'm wrong who knows. Sure they gear like hell but they abuse the shit outta diuetics too.

    He trains locally out of Terry's Fitness here in California, it's like 15 mins from my house and I go there at times. I saw him months back......

    He is not a "normal sized" man. He's not as big as he was, but he still has
    his bulbuous shapes and shit like that. He does have very good genetics.

    Just as Kevin Levrone now sports a more "Hollywood" look now, Flex is much the same, but not that small.....somewhat bigger than Kevin.

    Tom princes kidney problem was caused by all the ibuprofin he was taking.

    not sure, but the man said himself in an interview that it was his steroid abuse that caught up to him and he wasn't getting bloodwork done...so he couldnt catch it before it was too late

    All these pics that are shown from before are of them in Comp. shape. Take an offseason pic of them or any that aren't from a photoshoot and compare it. I have trouble holding the weight I have while off, can you imagine holding 250-300lbs without any gear? None of us could do it. The guy still looks like he is in great shape, props to him. There has to be a point where you just don't want to live the lifestyle 100% and eat every hour.

    i wouldn't want to live that lifestyle one day of my life, to many consequences at that level, and kidney transplant is just the start of the problems he may have

    He estimates he's at 230lbs at 5% bodyfat right now; that's a lot heavier than "normal" size. I can see the 230lbs in those pics but I would estimate a tad higher than 5%... still in the single digits but higher

    normal size? The dude is still a lot bigger than me and a lot of other ppl on this board. Sure, not even close to what he was but still pretty damn big.
