So he basically Overdosed on gear and stuff…
I like how Jay Cutler didn’t give up and kept competing until he finally beat ronnie…Unlike Shawn and Kevin and Flex.
Jay annoys me now with his Fred Flintstone Grin, but that was a great achievement:)

I thought Flex had a condition in which his growth wasn’t limited, not that he grew without training…
He probably could have gotten much bigger, but didn’t want to ruin his lines and aesthetics.
Not at all. He tried to play the size game by his own admission (and did it the wrong way… Instead of trying to get seriously strong with the minimum necessary amount of you-know-what-I-mean to get there, he went the all-out chemical warfare route and ended up causing himself a whole damn lot of trouble that way, health-wise), but simply didn’t manage.
That being said, I guess if he had tried to do things the same way guys like Ronnie, Nasser(once upon a time) etc did, he might well have been able to get a lot larger still… Oh well.
I’m saying “Ballz” on his claimed genetic mutation. He’s been throwing that around now that he’s a “natural” athlete. Don’t get me wrong, I like Flex. He is a truly an uncrowned Mr Olympia at least a couple times, but his current “I’m all natural” malarky is laughable. I don’t want to say that his kidney problems were in direct correlation with his increased consumption because I don’t know the details, but is that what you were hinting C_C?
Yes, he admitted so himself as far as I know… And he’s not the only case of such things happening… Though to be honest, it may just as well have been a problem with diuretics-mis/abuse… That actually sounds more likely to me, but what do I know.
Thing is, and many who know more about this subject than I do and possibly even know flex personally can tell you that: Flex is no Ronnie in the gym and always liked to use more than others to try to make up for that… He is/was not the only one like that either…
As for whether he’s off gear completely now or not… I dunno… I’d expect him to be on HRT at least (that’s what I’d do, but then again, no idea about his current state of health etc)? That being said, I do know of plenty of cases of guys who went off-gear (often due to health reasons … Guys who’d, by their own admission, gone about gear use the wrong way) and managed to get into great shape again (not into the same shape they were before, obviously)…
I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt…
Hey, if he truly is off-gear now… Guess what, no one will believe it, no matter how many tests of whatever kind he passes etc. People also never believe that any of the natural champions are natural. Or that anyone bigger than 180 in contest shape could be natural. Whatever.
He’s gotta keep in the center of attention though if he wants supp deals or anything like that… So I guess that’s why he went and shouted “I’M ALL NATURAL NOW” at the rest of the world.
Haven’t seen anything other than his arm-training vid to judge his current physique… Anyone got a few pics handy?
