FLEX April 2003 Issue

Ok, so we all ain't wanting to read so many war and global related threads.

So... looking over the current issue... here are my thoughts... of course this is their BIGGEST ISSUE EVER and ARNOLD TELLS ALL and WHAT TO DO TO GET MASSIVE.... (like anything was ever new there)

Ok.. .moving along to page 32. Take a look at that early pic of Bob Cic. Does he look like Van Damme or what? Fuck that is scarey, two Jean Claudes running around. Neither amounting to much.

Page 48 - Curly Top. Ok, whose dick is Stan Mccrary sucking? I know for a fact that Dennis James, Dexter Jackson and Chris C. all use their influence and group pics to keep him in the spotlight because otherwise he would not see the inside of a muscle mag unless someone left a mirror in it. He simply begs everyone to get him included in their pics or mentioned so he can get exposure to himself and that ridiculous Topamania bullshit concept. And that fucking shirt? a MILLENIUM shirt in 2003. I think that is why his girl is making that horrendous face.

Page 82 - Tommy Thorvildsen - that pic of him at 16 definately shows he had potential at an early age.

Page 186 the four page special muscletech report - What the FUCK is up with that dude in the Nike stocking cap? Damn, Duval is doing the weights, but that dude obviously is either yawning or has severe open mouth lock jaw. His mouth won't close in the pic. Damn, who ever heard of a spotter doing forced reps? Those two look silly.

Page 249 Henry Rollins - how many times this dude been in jail? All those hideous tattoos.

Page 251 - Darrem Charles. Look at this pic. Look at it closely. Now please tell me how this man became a pro. Look at those forearms and calves. Rather, look FOR those forearms and calves. WTF? Ok, granted he has a tremendous bicep peak and split, nice abs, nice shoulder(s), decent chest. But thost legs are on a state bbbing level. Not a pro. Those quads are puny and withered. Those calves look like mosquito bites. Maybe this is a bad picture, I don't know. I have not really paid attention to him in any other one. So I am going to go with the thought of it being a horrible picture. Because no way can someone have THAT physique and turn pro.

Page 297 - Flex workout gear.. ok, what the hell is up with Tom Prince's leg? They are butter smooth. In the pic with him standing behind Garrett, he has "cankles". That is fucked up. Granted, he has great arms, (but suck ass tattoos), but don't you think he WOULD have chosen to model something that covered those Nancy Legs? He is already on the ugly side to begin with, enhanced only by that bald head.. but to put him with a pretty boy like Garrett, man... he must hate himself. On a good note though, I am eager to see how well he does when he returns to comp again this year. Hopefully, he used the down time to get everything focused on coming back and wiping people off the stage. He has the potential, let's see if he has the heart.
 
I can't beleive you still read that. I made the mistake of subscribing to MD magazine. It USED to be cool. Now it's complete garbage.
 
I might read Flex, but I don't read MD.. see, I could be doing worse?

Don't tell me you read it for the cartoons or the Valentino page???
 
I tried reading the valentino page because I was bored at the airport. It's like reading a 10 page Kayne essay, but much worse. It's all in caps, and he makes run on sentences and there's rarely any use of paragraphs. It's like the diary of a mad man. Plus he looks so stupid. What a wast of money on my part.
 
I got a kick out of the fact that this month's FLEX actually had 2 separate 6 page advertisements about Hydroxycut.

How gay.

that's like MD, but there's also multiple 6 page ads for muscle tech whey and creatine products.

Hilarious.!! and oh-so true. God that is just nerve wracking reading it. After reading it the first time, I felt like I needed a drink.

The only good thing is at least he does some shit talking, calling Bob Cic - a boring bland vanilla sandwich.
 
thats a bad pic Prince has the 2nd best wheels on stage come contest time
 
flex has the same level of participatory education as a hustler magazine. but at least after im finished reading Hustler, i have a lil something to show for it.
 
I was thinking the same thing about Darrem. Something just doesn't seem 'right' about him. He has a scary looking face/head too.

Yes, 'Chic' does look like Van Damme in that pic, I was thinking that too lol.

Did you notice some bullshit in Arnolds article? How the whole t-shirt incident was made up for drama, and filmed way AFTER the contest. If that was true, then how come DURING the contest when Mike was looking for his shirt, he asked Paul Grant where it was, and he said Waller had it?

Those muscletech ads are getting worse in Flex. Could this have anything due to Joe Weider selling the mags?

Oh and the funniest thing in that issue, it almost had me in tears... Sammir talking about the time he came across Mike and Ray Mentzer, and Casey Viator deadlifting. He came up to them and wanted to try, and supposedly he said "You can't shake this!"
LMAO You can't shake this?! I've never heard anything more corny than that, well maybe Pumpus Interruptus from Kevin Levrone, but this is right up there.
 
Yeah... I laughed about the "you can't shake this" thing too. Especially after Bannout actually did it. I was never a fan of the Mentzer and have always felt they whined WAY too much. Like Mike was the only bodybuilder in the existence of the sport to be screwed out of a contest. Thing is, he legitimately lost.
 
Yeah, after I looked at pics of the 80 olympia, I was wondering what the hell him and Boyer Coe were bitching about all these years. They were talking a lot of trash on Arnold. Mentzer saying he looked skinny. He looked better than Mentzer on that stage! Mentzer looked as if he had zero pec developement. I wouldn't have placed him as the winner.
