Flex is coming back...

**Tsunami** · 02-25-2002, 06:25 PM

I can't wait, what do you guys think of his recent comeback?

And does anyone know what his first show will be? The O?

Oh yeah and is he going to do it natural?

Anyways, I can't wait to see him back on stage.

Peace

That is the best line of the day!!

I saw Flex at the Arnold and he was looking real good.

Yeah, I think if he comes back normal he has no chance in hell of taking out Coleman, Cutler, Cormier and so on.

With his big mouth he had no chance anway. I like the guy but being the shows are so political he didnt have much of a chance after all the smack he talked.

Behind you 100% there Dane

Yeah, I spoke to him briefly on ASC, he said he is coming back in big way. The guy is awesome!

I saw flex at the Arnold and there is no way he is going to come back in the shape that he was in. Don't get me wrong, he did look good but not good enough to step on stage in a few months.
One thing I did notice, he was thick in the arms and thick in the chest but his patented shoulders were no where near what they were like before. I know that Flex was a synthol user but he really must have been pumping those things up.

COMEBACK FOR REAL, SAYS WHEELER
It's official: Flex Wheeler is coming out of retirement. Like Michael Jordan, Wheeler couldn’t play spectator knowing he still has the goods. The old fire was rekindled for Flex while he watched the Ironman on February 16. And Flex isn’t the only one who thinks it’s a good idea to slap on those shiny posing trunks again.
"My wife Madeline, people in my church, Rico McLinton, a lot of friends are encouraging me to get back onstage," a jovial Flex told us during a lull at the Arnold Classic. "I was bitter when I left. I was playing the size game, and it just wasn’t me. Now, I feel great. I want to come in much lighter, around 218 pounds, instead of the 230s or 240s. I think it’s time to come back."
Now the only question is when. Wheeler, whose cheerful manner reflects his good health, hinted at requesting an Olympia special invite for this year’s show, but in fact Flex's third-place finish at the 2000 Mr. O gives him a two-year qualification for the Olympia, so he could be doing his thing as early as October 19 in Las Vegas.

WTF Flex at 218. I thought he looked good before because of his size. Im sure its not that he wants to. It probably all he can do after loosing all that weight. What a shame I expected him to contend last year. I thought it would be him pushing Ronnie not Jay.

flex at the arnold classic 2002 lookin great

**silverfox** · 03-01-2002, 07:36 AM

Here is what i think of flex... probably most geniticly gifted bbers ever. However having said that, he tries to get by on his genitics instead of hard work and hard training. I have watch his video and battle for O vids, and the guy was training well compare to guy like coleman a pussy, i know not everyone has to deadllift 800lbs to get big, but you do have to train with maxium intensity.

He if had the drive of some of the other pro's he would be going very well on stage and would have probably won a 0 by now.

Ok I dont mean to turn this into a holy war, but I wasnt aware GOD chooses sides.

**$uperman** · 05-08-2002, 09:38 PM

alright fellas.... this is about flex's comeback. not about if god is on his side or not. this is a good thread about flex making his comeback and id just hate to see it turn into a religous argument.
