    This has nothing to do with the video but I'm currently sitting on the side of the road with a flat tire. Someone bring me Phil's gut so I can air this tire back up.

    His legs weren't looking great, quite small but well toned. His chest wasn't great either tbf but overall his whole physique is impressive, for a 52 year old man, not Olympia impressive but for his age yes.

    • @taoist32

    Hi guys. Truly commendable Flex achieved what he did at the age he is and the time frame he took to reach this outcome. Whatever be his placing, salute. definitely want to see him next year.
    Nick, you shouldn't care if people judge you. You are doing a wonderful job. Your predictions and views in the details you observe, not everyone can. I agree to your opinion on Flex's leg development video, they looked great as shredded, but not proportionate to his top. So is true for his calves. I say so coz I too have poor legs compared to my upper body and I simply saw that lack in his video.
    Overall, very well covered Nick. All said n done, Salute to Flex. He's an inspiration. Cheers

    I am so proud of Flex.. at 52.. he is a winner... I agree with what you are saying about his body.. but who cares.. he is representing all of us old guys...and is such a role model... Nick... like your vids.. respect you... and I never thought you were hating on Flex...

  • @yoshidinos7183
    @yoshidinos7183 6 років тому +3

    I never once thought that you were hating on Flex, But rather just making realistic and obvious predictions. I don't think that Flex is currently using any type of oil or SEO in his biceps, But I do think that back in his years of competitive competition he may have abused some of the things in his biceps. What I think we are seeing now is leftover scar tissue build up or dormant oils left behind from his competitive years. Overall his physique was nothing short of amazing and astonishing considering his injury history and his age. I salute you Nick, Keep up the good work with these videos !

  • @rationalmuscle
    @rationalmuscle 6 років тому +6

    Nick, some of that 'blurry' bit you're mentioning on low abs is loose skin. Flex definitely has it, as do most 50+ guys who laid off for 'any' amount of time and got fat. You can do it when you're in your 20s, but not 40s or 50s. Even Zane had this when he peaked in his 60s (still looked incredible, but his abs were covered by loose skin.)

    @dennisbuckner6259 5 років тому

    I'm 50 years old, haven't looked at pics of Flex from back in the day for a long time. But he's a great inspiration for me. That being said I recall that Flex had an 8 pack, which he no longer has. Which would explain the puffiness in his lower and. Another thing that I noticed was that his forearms and calves now look like baseball bats. Great video Nick. I'm not dogging on the guy either. He's an experienced professional. He had to have made these same observations.

  • @johnlatour1156
    @johnlatour1156 5 років тому +1

    I think Flex looks great for a 52 year old bodybuilder and think he has a lot guts to come back and compete against a bunch of guys who are much younger. In the end though it proves two things. Number one is that you can get in amazing shape at any age and that is surely something that Flex can be proud of, but secondly is the fact that younger athletes training just as hard are going to be extremely hard to beat. That’s reality. I don’t know if Flex meant to do this or not, it’s probably just his competitive nature, but he’s also proven that bodybuilding and looking one’s best isn’t just something for the young. That’s cool. Thanks, Flex

    Flex has had a kidney transplant and most of the people I know who have got kidney issues have a life like hell, 6-8 tablets every 3-4 hours and also visiting doctors regularly to avoid any infections that could happen due to the medications. Also this guy is like 52, so it is twice as difficult for him. But still he came back and went the distance. Maybe not his best package that he had in his prime, but definitely commendable for a veteran who competed against some of the strongest lineups in the bodybuilding history.
    Love and Respect for Flex Wheeler !!!
