heart broken C’mon man! Facts don’t care about your feelings! Today’s BB’s are not diced like they were in the 90’s and Brandon Currys Olympia win was a joke!! I’ve lost all respect for the IFBB! I’d rather someone tell me the truth than to lie and sugar coat me to bullshit death! This is wrong with society today. Pc police, safe spaces, participation trophies which makes for soy boys and beta males. Pathetic
@@TheDude-yw4kn I think soy boys and beta males are actually not that bad. It just means my kid, your kid wont be attacked on the street at night. But i understand your point. Men should be men, and they were diced as hell in the 90s. So ... yeah, kinda true.
Dj_M1 Shawn ray was very aesthetic, but i would not call him a mass monster. Kevin and flex just had that extra mass that was limiting with aesthetics. Shawn Rhoden is good too but kevin and flex just had some crazy bodyparts.
I’ve always admired Flex. I knew he was pompous and somewhat arrogant when he was younger, but in all honesty, it’s just a defense mechanism. He has really humbled himself and grown over the years and I’m proud of him for that.
I can’t wait to see this interview in full he was one of my idols growing up he possessed a incredible symmetrical physique. He was also a decent martial artist I can’t wait to see this interview in full.
He shot synthol in his arms towards the end of his career. And do you think at least 90% of top guys don’t inject synthol? It’s just that Flex had the balls to admit that he did it. In 1993 he possessed the most aesthetic physique in the history of humanity for fuck’s sakes. Shouldn’t you worship that? The guy had some crazy ass genetics. At 230 pounds he had a 27 inch waist and 31 inch thighs. That’s some crazy shit.
@@derekweinerttv4163 i dont understand your comment everybody uses synthol is like if you call me drug addict while u are sniffing lines of cocaine in front of me dont make a lot of sense
I’m watching this on my phone in low resolution. I saw a bald black bodybuilder in the thumbnail and without reading the title thought this was another Ronnie clip until he started talking.
Great interviews by the way! Nice to see our BB Legends having the opportunity to share their stories and be honored for what they have brought to the industry!
@@ChrisAnderson1986 IMO, I like Shawn but he would not beat Flex Wheeler in his prime, Phil maybe but it would be a very challenging fight but I think Shawn would not
@@benjamin_fdw Hi i hope your drunk watch this best shape of Shawn Rhoden watch?v=pFwlhG9SotE on youtube. and tell me after the whole video you still don't atleast think he has a chance ;) because i think its close both ways.
Thank you Pat. You guys are classy guys!!! Good to encourage each other! Unique in gifting, talents, skills and experience; destined for Greatness! Keep up the great work. You're Champions!
Very careful said the same exact thing Ronny and Dorian said, with much more care ness and respect. Flex is a good dude. I would love to see the full interview. Is it up yet? Also please get more Bodybuilders like Kevin, Kai, Rolly and Rammy.
I followed bodybuilding a generation ago. I remember Dexter Jackson trying to get something going back then, but he couldn't get any traction against those legends. He was 2nd rate then, but all respect to him, he kept fighting, and his perseverance got him on top. He didn't out-class the greats, but he out-lasted them
God bless us all with great wealth👍. Hi Patrick you a great inspiration have been following you these past years and have been so inspired so much so that I began my own RUclips channel. Bless you and bless us all 🙏
The 80's and 90's were the pinnacle of bodybuilding because of the fact that they had no form of social media and ran off bodybuilding magazines. People who wanted to start weight training found out about it through the bodybuilding magazines. Nowadays everyone takes gear and thinks they can become a bodybuilder. the 80's and 90's were the cream of the crop, bodybuilding was such an isolated sport back then thats why amazing physiques were produced
Patrick i can't wait for the full video to drop please tell me your plan on getting Jay Cutler on the show........ i personally think hes the greatest bodybuilder and business man in bodybuilding of all time right next to Ronnie Coleman, his battles with Ronnie were unprecedented and that era will never ever ever be replicated ever again....
I've never heard Flex speaking before this clip and I have to admit he is so damn (or at least he pretended to be) classy and polite, especially if you compare this interview with the one Ronnie did. He basically said the same thing, that those guys wouldn't place in the 90s but on the other side he also said (not exactly these words but still) "ok, but if I compare myself to them I've to say Dexter and Brandon have an Olympia title, something I don't have" and this is a great humble phrase to pronounce, especially coming from THE uncrowned Olympia champ
Flex always has been a delusional man. He still lives in the past. Nobody would stand a chance against prime Ronnie or prime Phil. Ronnie was a Dorian 2.0... and Dorian destroyed them..
@George Email I just think they had shitty genetics in my opinion, i do envy their dedication to the sport. The reason Rhoden would beat Flex would be because of better Symmetry of muscle proportions but flex would then win if Rhoden fails to come in fully sharp. today they don't look like they been dieting or starving like the older Ronnie days :D. And Phil Heath prime still looks better than flex in my opinion again because of the symmetry and muscle proportions.
This was exactly what I was saying: you can't argue that the 90's was the best era and no one can compare/compete with those guys. However, that doesn't mean you take away from the champions of other eras.
I can't wait for this interview, on our the Bodybuilders you interviewed flex seems to be so polite n respectful......... This gonna be great............. I hope he was more open when u asked the PED question coz the last three guys were just beating around the bush.
When I think about my amateur bodybuilding career, starting in 9th grade in 1979, through my college years ending in 1989, I realize that my training, nutrition, supplementation, EVERYTHING wouldn't hold a candle to what is going on right now. I think I worked hard (obviously not hard enough to go pro), but there is no way those in my time could complete with the same training and nutrition as today. What gets to me is the massive amount of injury and illness these days. I'm fairly certain some of my own health problems are a result of "supplementation" in the 80's. I can't imagine what the current guys are going to have to endure later in life.
Dorian gave a brutally honest oppinion. Ronnie was sedated out of his mind and couldn't even answer. Flex gave the most diplomatic answer. He really changed for the better over the years.
So, what exactly were the guys from the 90s doing, or not doing that allowed them to have such better conditioning on stage? Its all good and well to compare but what is the actual reason as to why conditioning has gone gotten worse?
We need Jay Cutler on this show. Asap.

That was a very impressive response from Flex Wheeler! Totally classy individual.
Yes!!!
Classy guy with notoriously thin skin.
@@Notoriousnipple and great shape too
He was a pompous a hole, life humbled him some.
Flex : "You wouldn't laugh about it because these are men who are working really hard."
Ronnie : HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Just because they aren’t lifting stupid heavy weight like Ronnie risking unnecessary injuries doesn’t mean they aren’t working hard.

Flex has such a kind spirit and great reflections on the different eras.
Its not a different era. Forms are just different Phil Heath could beat flex. Prime vs prime. Maybe shawn Rhode
@@ChrisAnderson1986 Flex speaks to four different eras of bodybuilding. I think is perspective is pretty refreshing.
Never clicked so fast! You are on fire with these bodybuilding interviews lately. Absolute pure class coming from Flex - humble and respectful.
This man's humility made him the most respectable bodybuilder in my eyes
He is saying bullshit, Dexter in his prime would beat Flex and Shawn easily. He is 25 pounds heavier than Shawn and Flex condiotining was very bad.
@@CC-be3ko yeah he’s just stroking his ego
Holy shit valuetainment just keeps on delivering now flex wheeler!!!! Much respect patrick your the best
Kenneth "Flex" Wheeler. You have my respect. What a response!
The thing that made the 90's stand more out than todays bodybuilders was that the conditioning was always on point on all of the 90's era bodybuilders
Flex: Dr. Dre was Mr. Olympia?
Patrick: Nope, he was nuthin' but a G thang.
Gold comment
Keshav Sharma baby 🎶
That’s fucking awesome bro ! Hahaha
this comment is even better than the interview
Studio gangster crossdresser
Flex is such a great guy here in this interview. I wish him all the best with his health. Hope he's doing well.
He was the king of Aesthetics in 90s 🙌
Him and Kevin the most aesthetic mass monsters ever.
Dj_M1 Shawn ray was very aesthetic, but i would not call him a mass monster. Kevin and flex just had that extra mass that was limiting with aesthetics. Shawn Rhoden is good too but kevin and flex just had some crazy bodyparts.

@@derekweinerttv4163 i dont understand your comment everybody uses synthol is like if you call me drug addict while u are sniffing lines of cocaine in front of me dont make a lot of sense
This is what happened when bodybuilding stopped being an art...
It became more about size and what new drug is available to get me there
Stfu he didnt even bother to take in Phil Heath and shawn rhoden on that picture! Both unbeatable in Their prime
and when u always was looze,so u always will be,so if u never jump up,u will never be tell down.
And those who weren’t around in the 80s and 90s just don’t see it.
It went from using drugs to enhance your body to use drugs to build your body
I remember looking in those mags when Flex was one of the guys at the apex.
@@Sappyloungeact you clinically ill for that comment 😂😂😂
Flex " I was like first and he(Dexter Jackson) was like tenth", That really puts it to bed
enda o donnell damn
@I th Is is th Tr be yeah and flex's first year as a pro was runner up mr.O and arnold classic champion,so that shows it
And yes dexter was offented to shawn only not flex not to ronnie who laughs .yeah for he is a pangolino for shawn his is tiger ready to attack
@Blvck Scvle yeh 2009 dexter Jackson would probably give them a good run for their money
Now binge watching Flex’ videos. Very classy and humble guy.
He is surprisingly eloquent with his choice of words.
Yeah his medua ttaining is impeccable. Alot of stars across every sport would've fumbled at the part about humility lol

Cant wait for the full interview, Pat my brother your are my hero for all these great interviews
Wow Flex Wheeler not only had one of the best aesthetic massive physiques of all time with great sportsmanship but is truly a class act. 👏🏼🙏🏼💯
90s was about HARD GRAINY AND JUST AESTHETIC AF
Only dorian was hard and grainy. Flex Kevin and Shawn always had a softer look
Dorian ruined bodybuilding
I love the way he responded this interview. Kindly, very classy and humble. Despite what the other guys said he did not played cocky
They forgot shawn rhoden and Phil Heath in pic. Clearly they could beat flex from his prime
@@ChrisAnderson1986 IMO, I like Shawn but he would not beat Flex Wheeler in his prime, Phil maybe but it would be a very challenging fight but I think Shawn would not

How respectable is flex the man is a living legend I’m still a big fan
I like that, u can state ur opinion without being disrespectful.

Class act...need more of this
Flex is the uncrowned Mr. O. One of the best genetics and best physiques of all time.
Flex is just a lovely humble and emotional intelligent man.
My favourite bodybuilder all time
Very humble man.. what a true legend!!
The Legend is Back...🙏🙏🙏
Patrick is having some really nice time with all the bodybuilders 😂😂
Mad respect for the way that he worded it!!
This interviewer asks the same questions every single time
In all fairness Dexter was just coming up through the ranks. Out of all the guys I believe he could go toe to toe with them in his prime.
What are you talking about? Dexter is just a few years behind them in age!! Remember he had same opportunity to beat them. He couldn't.
Flex always has been a delusional man. He still lives in the past. Nobody would stand a chance against prime Ronnie or prime Phil. Ronnie was a Dorian 2.0... and Dorian destroyed them..
Flex wheeler is such a nice guy..very down to earth and such a great champion
Flex being real respectful here 💯
A very good response 🤔👍
What a gentle man flex is 😍😍
Flex Wheeler is such a class act. Impossible not to be a fan.
For when the full video?! Thanks
drop the full interview
That subtle "no...no...no." Was low key BRUTAL 😭😂😂😂
Rofl they picture weak material from this era not 2 include Phil Heath and Rhoden both could beat. Flex prime vs prime.

Dexter didn't fair that well back then because he was new and still growing. Dex in his prime would beat most of the '90s crew.
lol no he wouldn't he can't even beat the 2000's crew
Haha this is awesomeness! Can’t wait for the full
This is why I love Flex as a person!
What a humble person
