Is notable how similar the bodies of Flex and Phil are. Phil has more quality and Flex is wider. I think if the 2008 phil's version have competed with Flex some years ago.. Phil would be the winner... maybe Mr. Olympia.. So, guys, what do you think? Phil is a better version of Flex? or Flex is too much for Heath?

Phil for sure....he doesnt need synthol in his arms :keke:

Flex got him in the clavicle and back department that's it!

Flex's mid section is definitely better.

Phil brings a more conditioned physique (dry and grainy) especially in the lower back and glute/ham tie-in. Phil does seem to have a lot more muscular density in that Flex's muscle bellies had a more "oiled up" look. Only thing I see Flex having over Phil is better aesthetics. The way things are going for Phil I believe his career will surpase Flex's, in that Phil will more than likely win multiple Sandows. Flex did, however, have a better start in the IFBB than Phil did, in that Flex won the Ironman, Arnold Classic and placed 2nd in the Olympia all in his rookie year.

"Young Flex" beats Heath hands down no problem... "Flex's Torso to legs ratio" was/is untouchable. Heath's obliques are getting out of hand even at this young age of his career...

No doubt about it, Flex Wheeler was an amazing bodybuilder.. one of the best every. But IMHO Heath is better than he was, and is even a better person than Flex was/is. Flex always had this gangster attitude and Heath is possibly the best ambassador for the sport that we have ever seen since Arnold. These of course are just my opinions but all around I say Heath tops Wheeler. :tiphat:

Hard to say as Flex had been competing a lot longer than Heath has when these pictures were taken.

two years ago flex beated phil. Now you can argue Flex's back is better. Next year i'm pretty sure it will be a heath no-contest win.

Only thing Phil will never beat is Flex's douchebagery. :icon_ninja:

Flex midsection, quad separation and back is better. The rest goes for Phil.

Against Ronnie? They can not beat him...

I would go with Flex, although one can clearly see the softness in his hams and glutes.
