My friend, bodybuilding or whatever it may be, is meaningful depending on which lenses you’re viewing it from. Flex invested sweat equity in building his physique to achieve goals whether it’s for gold medals or simply to be regarded as one of the greats . You know you did something for the sport when Ronnie Coleman, who’s arguably the greatest bodybuilder, says your physique was the best. it’s all perspective:)

Yes, but while competing, his ego was his worst enemy.

[@thehomefront1905]

Maybe now, but he used to be an flash asshole back in the day, had a chip on his shoulder and though everyone was below him, that's why he ended up becoming a manic depressed person and suicidal, he's only nice now because he has to be or no one would tolerate him now he hasn't got that physique.

I was about to compete in a local show and I saw him sitting in a chair he looked so small. i thought to myself he is little, but when I tell you he walked down the isle to the stage with just his trunks on, it was unbelievable , his legs were HUGE. The entire crowd went crazy. I will never forget how huge and nice he was.

I love this channel!!! You really get the guys there do recognition for all the work they put in and all the sacrifice that comes with it. The good and the bad. It’s more than just about taking gear and building muscle. More than health risks that come with it. It’s about focus , how hard and how far you can push yourself, sacrifice. Unfortunately at times the cost comes at a price too great in the end. But isn’t that what will and determination of the human spirit all about? Keep up the good work
