Wow, that i so close.. the only thing Phil has that Wheeler doesn't is shredded glutes. Other than that they are damn even IMO.

Yes it's strange...his calves look good and normal in the -93 pic. But in that -99 shot they look like...mmmh...something...I don't know. And yes, he was never again as dry and separated as he was back in 1993.

I have the 1999 Mr. O DVD also. Most people say 93 because his arms, hams, glutes, calves and back were never that shredded again during his career. He did get bigger in 99' no doubt, but you can clearly see that from the back, head to toe he is drier and more seperated in 93.

93 vs. 99

Flex93vs99 1

i guess your right! :crymeariver:lol if you got the dvd take a look at prejudging on his first call out when he walks behind coleman look at his face! HE looks like a skelaton and you saw when he bendover on stage, looks like he had a hard time!

Yeah, he does look like he was about to drop dead, lol. He was still dry in 99 also, but the added size took away some of his conditioning. I guess for both size and conditioning I would go with his 98/99 physique and with pure conditioning it would be his 93 physique. He still looked amazing.

It's truly amazing how similar both of thier bodies are the back double bi is almost identical Both athletes are amazing and Phil will definatly be one of the leaders of the sport for a very long time to come. Personally I cant wait to see wolf and heath at the olympia go at it that will be a great battle as long as both of them come in at thier best.

It will be a very interesting moment to see them all side by side.

Couple of you guys are saying that Flex`s calves arent real... That`s just bullshit, Shawn was crying that Flex got calve implants because he prooved size of them so mutch in short time. (I dont remember the year) But Flex was tested and those werent implants...

Phil is closing up fast, but I personally still like more about Flex's shapes. But I see some similarities in those two

Phil is definatly closing in on Flex. Comparisons are extremely close. Phil has the size. But to me Flex has the conditioning
