It's wild coming back to this after all these years, isn't it? 10 years, where has the time gone? I remember being completely obsessed with bodybuilding back then. I was in my early 20's at the time and living the lifestyle of a dedicated bodybuilder. Now I'm in my 30's and it's a crazy ride looking back. The world was a very different place back then.
@@jamesdjl4359 I agree 100% . I was in my mid 20s when I found Bodybuilding.. I'm 40 now and I miss the feeling of reading the magazines, then trying it out the advise in my Garagym. Then came the videos and social media. I'm still subscribed and read Neal Hill's informative emails . I have a collection of Gaspari shirts and gym bags I won on social media... wish it was still that easy to win a giveaway.. I still wear those shirts. Social media "stars" are killing the BB world IMO.
totally right food in the UK (my case Northern Ireland) very limited, don't think companies realise how big of demand for healthier products there would be here
@MrEmpadao currently I am bulking so im eating a lot of complex carbs sweet potatoe rice whole grain bread and lots of chicken fish eggs I also take whey protein as a post workout and sometimes as meal replacements but I have never taken creatine iv tried pre workouts but i think there more of a placebo effect than anything suppliments are good but food is more important also dont worry about ur englsh i understand what your saying so were cool
Can you link me to research on protein powder being acidic? I see that its mildly acidic. I really don't think it will raise your bodies aciditiy much if its used within reason.
People are such idiots. Everyone want's to automatically just say "steroids" It's not like he just injects himself and he turns into Mr. Olympia over night. Is he on gear? 9 times outta 10 yes. But don't take away the credit that he works his ass off working out, and dieting. If you know nothing about body building. Simply GTFO.
I agree with a 100% people never and I MEAN NEVER EVER take in the consideration or work ethic these body builders have to undergo. That's like someone owning a gun and thinking and think their safe or untouchable but even with that you need to be educated enough to know how to use, know when to use it and understand the consequences of using it. I swear people are just dumb now a days. Fucking know I talks with no credentials.
***** steriods are like money or fame. they amplify whats already there. Ive seen countless people take steriods and thought the same thing that you thought, They thought with this magic drug I will automatically win contest so on and forth and no amount of effort would be needed. you could even look up people who have taken steriods and still look like complete shit. All im saying is do not I repeat I DO NOT discredit someone's work ethic when you have no knowledge of the drug and no intention figuring it out for your self.
***** you're right steriods do effect muscle growth and help tremendously with your anabolic state but your arguement is, is that with steriods all the condtioning and all the muscle bellies or synthetic not real and I quote "but he deserves no credit for his achievements cuz they're fake." and "Can't respect a single inch of his muscle cuz it's fake gains from steroids. I find both of those statement false because one in order to obtain a body builder's physique there much more than shot of a needle, Two how can the muscle be fake if it boosts your testosterone to build the muscle meaning it amplifies what is already there increasing the process, making faster and three your analogy or hypothesis on being a non-necessity(no needs for steriods) is invalid. If you think that it's possible of winning a national level bodybuilding show natural then I think You need re-evaluate your ideals on "fake muscles" that is like going into war with every knowledge of combat, survival skills, etc and being the only one with out a bullet poof vest and no gun.
No one can ever get physiques even remotely close to that naturally. Without steroids there is no bodybuilding, natural bodybuilding is unimpressive to say the least.
Best pound for pound bodybuilder in the world. He would challenge Heath if ever decided to bulk up and take on the open class. But he's got an overdue 212 to win first! Oh and the gaspari supplements are good but only really benefit natural bodybuilders. As if they make a difference to pros who use steroids. Nothing against pros for using steroids, their choice and most look amazing cos of it! COME ON FLEX!
Yeah i heard bout that. my dad although he's older now was like Bruce lee's physique. He was actually under the program at the site _MusclesMaximizer . info_ That site offered a lot of muscle secrets as well as nutrition foods that is best fit for your body.
@stackindatpapa let me guess, you have taking many supps and trainning ok but your meals? how you eat? if you eating bad, forgeted... If you combine good training, good supps, good diet. you have results try it. (sorry for my english)
ye man those supplements made the difference. Ye That super pump shit or what ever its called was what made him in to a champion! You to can look like Flex if you buy all the supplements!!!
Being a bodybuilder/trainer myself I have to say that Flex Lewis have a more pleasant and incredible physique, plus his condition is way superior than Kevin English. I feel that the Mr. O title should belong to Flex!!!
what he achieved in terms of physique is probably more than every single person that threw out hater comments here , he won the 212 Olympia. he is the best in the world at his weight class and a fkn pro bodybuilder! stfu
I didn't just say AAS...I said HORMONES...Which includes hgh, insulin, aas, peptides etc... Growth hormone is ESSENTIAL in football since there is so many injuries...Most of QB's use growth hormone, ESPECIALLY the ones who have undergone surgery... Depends which position...Every line backer has used hormones AT LEAST ONCE in their career..Even though it's more like most of their career...
how on earth he does it so quickly/skillfully lol? very clever as this way protein is totally undenatured,maybe skillet is etra hot? someone knowledgable chime in?
Lou was bigger and better than Arnie. Ruhl was a monster that the judges always overlooked. Pick your champion and accept that the judges will do their fixing to ensure that they stay in a job. Sad but real.
If roids had never been invented you would still be watching the same guys on stage, not quite as big, but still the genetically gifted with good work ethic
I hate when the athletes talk about the "supplements" and how they help them achieve their goals, lmao all supplements are horse shit, these guys are huge because of roids and they have good shape because of their genetics, muscle tech, bsn, animal, none of them will get you big like a pro bodybuilder, its such horse shit they feed people
ure bang on with your statement,keeping it simple is key,when i first started training i tryed most supplements but none come close to real food,i hate vids like this just an advertisement.
Mizernyi Who said anything about food? I said supplements are horse shit, ROIDS+GOOD FOOD=MUSCLE GROWTH, NO NEED TO WASTE MONEY ON SUPPLEMENTS FROM A VITAMIN STORE
cheaters haha, you should look up the record of all professional athletes, all of them use(d) prestation enhancing drugs. and those who say their not, they're lying. so get over it bitches!
@snowman2bandit supps are able to help but calls in is whats important if ur eating a calls surplus the body will take the calls and use them to repair and grow the muscle supps will help IMO 10% at most the rest is calls and food good whole food back in the day of Arnold and even before him there was no such thing as supps sure there was whey maybe but u never seen arnold take sups I know they took roids but now bodybuilders also take roids the point im saying is sups help but food is best
Met him this year at the FIBO and he is very massive and a very friendly person! The best in the little class and in the top six in the open class!!!
One of the best physiques out there!
I've learned a lot watching these back then.. Rich, Neal and James! Champion combo!

I miss the old Myofusion. Best protein I have ever used.
Yeah me too, no idea why they discontinued it. Must have had something toxic or carcinogenic in it 😕😕😕
Arnold was a rarity. Few athletes in any sport have his charisma.
Simply a Gaspari add.
I'm proud to be from wales!
totally right food in the UK (my case Northern Ireland) very limited, don't think companies realise how big of demand for healthier products there would be here
Nice and dedicated, hardcore. Your an inspiration Flex. Good luck.
@Forrestgumpz I agree, it seems like everyone but the judges thought Flex one that show!

@MrEmpadao currently I am bulking so im eating a lot of complex carbs sweet potatoe rice whole grain bread and lots of chicken fish eggs I also take whey protein as a post workout and sometimes as meal replacements but I have never taken creatine iv tried pre workouts but i think there more of a placebo effect than anything suppliments are good but food is more important also dont worry about ur englsh i understand what your saying so were cool
Great videos!
What's the recipe for the pancakes flex has in the video?
+Kenan Sonat i have a great recipe you can have if you want?
5:56 "and that 1ml can make all the difference"
Tehe
you know how some people's names match what they do? This guy is perfect example. A body builder named Flex.
Its a nick name, though still fitting
Love to come back to these older videos and see how silly the comments are .. so many who really have no idea what they are talking about. Hahaha.
Can you link me to research on protein powder being acidic? I see that its mildly acidic. I really don't think it will raise your bodies aciditiy much if its used within reason.
WHAT I AM TRYING TO UNDERSTUD IS HOW THE SUPPLEMENTS COMPLETE OUR DIET ??
People are such idiots. Everyone want's to automatically just say "steroids" It's not like he just injects himself and he turns into Mr. Olympia over night. Is he on gear? 9 times outta 10 yes. But don't take away the credit that he works his ass off working out, and dieting. If you know nothing about body building. Simply GTFO.
9 times out of 10? with olympia contestants! nah 10/10

NICE AND EPIC!!!!
3;20 RESPECT FOR THIS WOMAN (in the background)

all professional bodybuilders take it, but still you gotta do hardwork
Best pound for pound bodybuilder in the world. He would challenge Heath if ever decided to bulk up and take on the open class. But he's got an overdue 212 to win first! Oh and the gaspari supplements are good but only really benefit natural bodybuilders. As if they make a difference to pros who use steroids.

Yeah i heard bout that. my dad although he's older now was
like Bruce lee's physique. He was actually
under the program at the site
_MusclesMaximizer . info_
That site offered a lot of muscle secrets as
well as nutrition foods that is best fit for your
body.

woah sean barber looks good.
lol sarcasm at its best
Love the way he eats the same pancakes as me
I have a sudden urge to by Gaspari's Super PUMP 250
Being a bodybuilder/trainer myself I have to say that Flex Lewis have a more pleasant and incredible physique, plus his condition is way superior than Kevin English. I feel that the Mr. O title should belong to Flex!!!
champ talk

How exactly is protein useless?
id say they are pretty close
admittedly I clicked for the pancake xD
gonna try that one tomorrow! (although smaller XD)

what he achieved in terms of physique is probably more than every single person that threw out hater comments here , he won the 212 Olympia. he is the best in the world at his weight class and a fkn pro bodybuilder! stfu
I wish I had that food just to taste.😁😁
I didn't just say AAS...I said HORMONES...Which includes hgh, insulin, aas, peptides etc...
Growth hormone is ESSENTIAL in football since there is so many injuries...Most of QB's use growth hormone, ESPECIALLY the ones who have undergone surgery...
Depends which position...Every line backer has used hormones AT LEAST ONCE in their career..Even though it's more like most of their career...
how on earth he does it so quickly/skillfully lol? very clever as this way protein is totally undenatured,maybe skillet is etra hot? someone knowledgable chime in?
Truth³!!
1:50 what is the name of her ??
Lou was bigger and better than Arnie. Ruhl was a monster that the judges always overlooked. Pick your champion and accept that the judges will do their fixing to ensure that they stay in a job. Sad but real.
Yes you are, they're not abusing the roids.
don't forget down sydrome, he out down sydrome's flex as well
i like gaspari nutrition
9:36 dem calves. probably the best i've ever seen.
If roids had never been invented you would still be watching the same guys on stage, not quite as big, but still the genetically gifted with good work ethic
who's the girl at 1.50.
that woman at 2:07 is amazing, anybody knows her name?
flex lewis hand are like Indian bollywood actor dharmander ha ha
He's Welsh.
Lots of information about his supplements, not so much about what he actually eats tho (-_-)
who is she?
What language is he speaking? I can't understand a word he is saying.
What kind of dialect is that?
I hate when the athletes talk about the "supplements" and how they help them achieve their goals, lmao all supplements are horse shit, these guys are huge because of roids and they have good shape because of their genetics, muscle tech, bsn, animal, none of them will get you big like a pro bodybuilder, its such horse shit they feed people
ure bang on with your statement,keeping it simple is key,when i first started training i tryed most supplements but none come close to real food,i hate vids like this just an advertisement.
***** Try living on roids alone, no food or supplements and train 6/7 see how you do...
Mizernyi Who said anything about food? I said supplements are horse shit, ROIDS+GOOD FOOD=MUSCLE GROWTH, NO NEED TO WASTE MONEY ON SUPPLEMENTS FROM A VITAMIN STORE
cheaters haha, you should look up the record of all professional athletes, all of them use(d) prestation enhancing drugs. and those who say their not, they're lying. so get over it bitches!
Steroids are like dynamite, they will blow you up. Steroid Dynamite out....

This dude is massive for his height
Flex lewis face sort of look like a chipmunk. lol
His calves are as big as my head... Sweet!
He's from Whales
when all things are equal steroids hgh whatever supplements help put you over the top
Top body builders take steroids in a controlled and professional way unlike the skinny weirdos who just take without even lifting.
Next opens mr. O
his double chin is full of muscle
@snowman2bandit supps are able to help but calls in is whats important if ur eating a calls surplus the body will take the calls and use them to repair and grow the muscle supps will help IMO 10% at most the rest is calls and food good whole food back in the day of Arnold and even before him there was no such thing as supps sure there was whey maybe but u never seen arnold take sups I know they took roids but now bodybuilders also take roids the point im saying is sups help but food is best
HAHAHA YEAH guys that SUPERPUMP has really made a difference. Its not the juice.
Every single one of the bodybuilders in this video is on steroids.
no shit? who cares?
even natty they would be 10x your sise
James is short, not many interested in the short class 202 Olympia.
yeah ther natural too---
I think it spelled Wales! LOL!
I flip my pancakes the same way. Swirl that protein shake. Steroid Dynamite out....
When supplement were the THING hhhh and now everyone is Trening
Look at his perfectly waxed and tweeted eyebrows.

+The Trunks lol who ever began to said he's natural?!
that "puffy" look is due to water retention from steroids......usually when they are bulking....
Is that bold guy rich gaspari ? Dam he aged
yes, master chess player.
