Flex Wheeler - (for the douters)

[jdevlin1985]

Ken (flex) Wheeler had a skin-fold measurement tested, 1 week before the 1993 Olympia, and it was 0.0%.

The only person, the only pro, in Golden Venus, who has ever been measured that low. Virtually 'halo', without skin.. you really can't get much leaner than that.

(for you who still dout this FACT, then Limewire holds the Vid clip of the 93 Olympia, with running commentary.)

umm....what? how the fuck?
the skinfold would have to be comletely shut for it to measure 0
skinfold measurements are done either 3 or 4 site
3 site pec, thigh, above the illiac crest
4 site bicep, tricep, illiac crest and subscap

i know ronnie coleman was Hydrostatically weighed and somehow he alledgedly weighed more underwater than out resulting in a negative BF measurement

moral of the stroy
its ALL hype and bullshit

 

[melochai]

What ever happened to Flex anyway ?

 

[lowpro]

I'm a doubter.

The most accurate way to measure body fat is to use a DEXA scan. Obviously, the 4 methods of measuring BF vary in results. They can easily run up to 8% in difference between a DEXA and a bioelectric impedance test.

The skin fold is the most practical, but not the most accurate.

Flex is writing for Musclar development after he had double renal failure and nearly(VERY NEARLY) lost his life.
i see him @ my shows all the time...he is a nice guy now..definately has been humbled by his experiences

 

[H_T_]

is he through making up outlandish stories of kung-fu exploits and gang fights?

 

[Wulfgar]

dude was on more fucking drugs in his life than u could imagine

You talking rec. drugs also.

 

[AAP]

I don't give a fat fuck, but it's very interesting

 

[Mr.X]

I doubt he was 0.0%

 

[CrazyK]

No such thing as 0.0% unless you're 6 feet under

sounds similar to Don Long

It may be possible to hold close to 0% subcontaneous fat but still possess some visceral fat and brown adipose tissue. Thus you still have fat, just not beneath the skin.

That said I doubt he was at zero (though I have seen the video where it is claimed), but he was probably near the leanest anyone has ever been.

Andreas Munzer would get very shredded too.

 

[Retabolil2]

I`ve seen some guys shredded to the bones and Flex has never been close to that shape. He looked great in my opinion but I dont buy that 0% fat story..

 

[TRAINHD]

^^I agree with RET and gautho when you look at FLEX and compare with others like Andreas Munzer There's just no way that Flex was 0% and Munzer 4 or 5% more than Flex

 

[toxicsambo]

a close friend of mine was once measured at 3%BF, and he was told that was the BF level of an Olympic athlete. The only thing is he's 5'11 168lbs. He's a personal trainer and a damn good one. His lifestyle is 100% clean and his every day year round diet is one that most bodybuilders can handle for 12-14 weeks. I never heard or seen of anything lower than that. 0% would equal automatic death.

 

[hanibal]

he was no way 0% but he was sick. his physique at his best was hard to beat. supposedely did tons of shit.
