Flex was dealing with depression, low self esteem, he hated himself and that dark past made person that no one liked. He talks about it in recent Flex Lewis podcast. Although, one of best shapes ever, if not the best.
@tonysaourn9220 depression stars in 1998-1999 Dorian retired, and that time it was supposed to be his time... but it wasn't forever because of Ronnie.

@@cichy0079absolutely could use the machine, say you could get 5 pull ups alone. Is that better than a set of 12 assisted, even if they’re both to complete failure?
With health issues who could blame him. . not everyone can run tren and winnie for 6-8weeks. I mean notice all the deaths lately?. The man was losing his health and friends and supporters, that shit will hurt anyone. And his wife ECT I've read all he went through backed up by others as a witness. Go from where he was to living on your wife's momma couch and see if that dont hit different. Let that sink in..
This was when his kidneys were shot. You can see his hormone levels were all over the place just by this video. In his youth he trained hard no doubt. But having good genetics does come with the tendency to be complacent. Blessing and a curse
Can you imagine if he didn’t rest this long in between sets what he would’ve look like as amazing as he looks now can you imagine if he just went all out when he worked out and intensified his work out with last rest in between sets
I agree, you can tell the fire is pretty much out of him, he's just going through the motions. In his prime he had the greatest body of all-time, here he looks like a shadow of himself
Flex was one of the good guys, but you can tell the pets were taking its toll. Look at his elbows. That’s not normal. He should have backed off and had a full health screen
He seems to be out of air most of the time and unable to pull off full performance. Just looks the way as if somethings wrong with his cardiovascular circuit, always sits down, only 4 to 5 half hearted reps etc.
This is as natty as flex ever was. Many people probably think he was all geared up in this video but he wasn't he knew like others that hus time at the top had come to an end. Friends, supporters, spouse, you name it they disappeared like a protein fart
Fitness industry natty, which means less than a gram of testosterone per week. Also known as a "low TRT dose" by whichever liar happens to be running it.
@@Twil992 You've gotta be kidding, right? Flex wasn't natural since he was in his early twenties. He's 37 in this video. Juiced to the gills like the rest of them. For the record I don't have a problem with bodybuilders taking steroids but for someone to think that this physique is attainable naturally without PEDs you don't have any idea what is going on in bodybuilding industry.
You can just tell by the way Flex is going thrunthe motions he knows its over and that he missed his windows during the Dorian and Ronnie Coleman eras . Flex unfortunately either didn't have anyone in his corner/camp who was smart or he was just too dang arrogant. For example ...he stupidly canceled/didn't renew his Weider supplement contract as an endorser right before the Olympia??? TF was he thinking? He even talks in an interview how Ronnie told him that the Weiders pulled him into a meeting and gave him a contract for like $100K per year before the 98 Olympia. They were already getting Ronnie in position
Kiddies, this was Flex when he appeared natural as he claimed. A sign that he was getting sick already and you can tell by the way he is down in size! Hail to the Sultan of Symmetry!

That was an excellent podcast. You can tell in this video his head and heart isn’t in it. You can see the burden he’s carrying.
He was dealing with kidney failure.
Depression?He had kidney problem bro.
@@tonysaourn9220 He stated his severe mental and physical issues in his book called Flex Ability. The book was released in 2004.

I bought that black FLEX multi cable station from golds for $1,000 in 2003 since it was broken. I fixed it and sold it for $7,000.
Smart guy 🙌
I’d have kept it 100%
Very sought after cable system.
I watched this on DVD when it camed out. Brings back memories ❤
Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching.
How old are you bro?
Flex wasn’t very well during this time and still prepped. Bravo flex
i was thinking something was off, he still has that incredible shape tho
He’s just got it in the right places
You mean the thol?
@deathadone88 You think THOL is bodybuilding? In that case, THOL it up!
12:15 that tricep striations got me pumped... Such an amazing physique he had❤️❤️❤️❤️
Synthol arms it looks very wird.
Bruh how do u get that
Mr uncrowned Mr Olympia
These videos are priceless, thanks a lot bro ... Do kevin levrone the Maryland muscle machine pls💪💪👏👏

The best physique ever.
OMG video’s coming left and right now! It’s a Bruce Bonanza!
Flex wheeler on fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾❤️
The king forever
Flex is the best bodybuilder all time for me.
Same for me
7:15 timestamp

After seeing flex using the assisted pull up machine I don't feel so bad using it when I do back! 💪
No point do to pull ups on that machine. Try to do even one pull up without any support.
Keep going like that.
@@cichy0079absolutely could use the machine, say you could get 5 pull ups alone. Is that better than a set of 12 assisted, even if they’re both to complete failure?
@@leowright2885 yes. bc eventually you can do 6 pull-ups, and then 7...
The way wheeler trained is the exact reason why he could never beat Coleman or Yates.
coleman outworked him
@@jackma3730 dorian too

He beat Ronnie a lot of times. Only Haney is the only living bodybuilder to beat Dorian
Yet he still had better aesthetics??? Use ya brain instead of repeating what RUclips “judges” say
Thx Bruce 🤙🏼
5 am. Smoking a blunt, letting this pre-workout kick in. Let's get it
Good to see the iron warrior Mike Christian around the 12th minute
Genetics > effort

He should take notes from Ronnie and Dorian 💪
Right at the end that hippie stretching 💀
Nice Video
Nice vídeo Brother Bruce, big hug for you! Big hug for your Family!
Thank you! 🙏🏻
In this year all his “friends” gone so far away.
A shy guy in front of camera and a beast on stage like MJ!
Not even close
Do you have any videos of a young healthy prime Flex? Seeing him in this state is sad
This is pre Olympia....they were all in this state.
This is just Flex. Nothing sad about it. Dieting and training is hard.
Get (Hard Body) or (Mass Construction) much more upbeat.
I agree, you can tell the fire is pretty much out of him, he's just going through the motions. In his prime he had the greatest body of all-time, here he looks like a shadow of himself
you have to understand he was completely in depression by the time he was diagnosed with the kidney disease
" flex " wheeler ... Monster ever bodybuilding open 💪🙏👊👊👊💉
Bad things happen to good people all the time . Just enjoy the content and stop saying this is sad . Little kids man
it's sad bro. that's why I'm 100% lifetime natty
There are no good people☦️
Leidenschaft und Fleiß sehe ich kaum. Bei Ronnie schon. Deshalb 8x. So einfach ist es.
Do you have Videos of Markus Rühl, Dennis Wolf or Günter Schlierkamp?
Yes we do, and they will all be uploaded eventually.
Fuck those guys.. they sind kakerlaken
Markus Rühl is my favorite natural vegan Bodybuilder :)
Mike Christian. That's my boy from back in the days
12:25
This man look like Nasser el sonbaty 😂 i tought he was him
Yeah, without glasses xD

Yes they r battle for mr. Olympia 2002 for second place
John 3:16 Amen🙏
Can you upload kevin levrone next
We uploaded Kevin’s Full Blown dvd, we will do his Maryland Muscle Machine in the near future.
@@MocvideoProductions i thought about 2002 olympia,anyway you have great rare stuff good job men
Flex was one of the good guys, but you can tell the pets were taking its toll. Look at his elbows. That’s not normal. He should have backed off and had a full health screen
yeah you better be careful with those pets. that's why im natural bro
Cara da p ver claramente na cara do flex a vontade p treinar 😂😂😂😂 arruma um pre treino p ele ai treinador😅😅😅
Just watched his back workout in 1999 with Cromeir.Flex lost alot of muscle and fullness in just 3 years
This was the Olympia where he claimed he competed 'naturally'.....probably a high TRT dose.
He lost a lot more, he lost his lower legs/ calves to amputation unfortunately.
flex 99 is the best physique in the history of the world imo
Sad mm I noticed that too he didn't look as big
@@zdenekburian1366brother u ain't lying!!! So perfect
Dang Flex may have had better arms than Phil Heath
Nope😂😂
no xD
already started to look like a goblin
Flex’s neck is so small. I can tell he started injecting oil into them arms.
This is the year Flex was Natural I believe
Yep! Good memory. Looked fantastic.
Apparently, he only used whey and creatine throughout his career. Oh, and he was juiced to the gills as well.
Flex wasnt natural, i saw an interview on magazine, he admitted that he wasnt natural, he spoke only for pure marketing
@Jerome Bout Flex Ability A story of Strenght and Survival
@Jerome Bout
I agree a natural Flex would weigh 150-180 lbs. Look at his early pics. Steroids definitely helped.
se ve un flex totalmente acabado animicamente
Los riñones le fallaron bro

Lose Yourself in the beginning
i think his absolute lack of charisma set him back. Even on stage. Dude had near perfect body
Was that suppose to be a workout? I've seen more intensity at a game of spades ♠️
Post a vid up of your physique
hahaha ikr
Flex Wheeler couldn't do pulls up? T-bar with only about 80kg (7x25lbs plates)? What's going on here?
This is the year he was Natural

@@fikretpajalic1224 stop being a baby lol why u care how strong he is etc he look better than you ever will skinny boi
he couldnt push this heavy due to the kidney disease diagnosis
He is a bodybuilder not a powerlifter,he could have been trying a better contraction with less weight
All that muscle he got..and he burn out on a 10 rep on a pull ups
The sultan of synthol on a daily baysees.
Guy looks depressed in every video like he don’t wanna be there. Talk about lack of motovation

Flex 'sloth' wheeler
Flex looks so small
Do the German giants!! Gunter ,, Dennis, ruhl 🇩🇪💪
Soon!
😂 student of Joe weider ❤
Coleman only
Not motivated. Best body but he sits and stares at the walls too much for me. Best triceps ever
I was thinking the same thing..why does he look significantly downsized here? On stage he looked comparable with Levrone Ronnie etc
He was natural or close to natural here
This is the Year that began his Muscle atrophy.One year later he retired.
He didn’t look anywhere near comparable that year.
Flex the Synthol Wheeler
Kiddies, this was Flex when he appeared natural as he claimed. A sign that he was getting sick already and you can tell by the way he is down in size! Hail to the Sultan of Symmetry!
Синтоловые руки выглядят неестественно
He don't even sweat or roar during workout...poor work ethic
Painful to watch he's miserable
he lacks joy and excitement to his workouts...why???its like his done...very tired...worn out...exhausted...
Exactly what i thought: He seems to be out of air most of the time and unable to pull off full performance. Just looks the way as if somethings wrong with his cardiovascular circuit, always sits down, only 4 to 5 half hearted reps etc.
He looked terrible and his facial expressions tells you he didn’t want to be there. Flex play the size game to chase Ronnie Coleman and he ruined his symmetry. This was his worst Mr. Olympia placings.
Dude looks miserable lol
Synthol all around.
I am a huge Flex fan but his content is always dry and boring. His attitude was too COCKY know Ronnie Coleman was in Texas REALLY turning shit up in his gym. His character kept him from being King.
Terrible form on pull ups
LOL let’s see your back brother.
Bro ain’t have no energy
Synthol in the arms.
Con todo respeto PERO 100pre le robaron a flex todas las oportunidades
