Flex has officially retired from competitive bodybuilding. Whether he remains retired is anyone's guess.
He publically states that his reasons are religeous but most sources that are close to him believe it is because he has a number of health problems and injuries that have burned him out , he is tired of juiceing up to 300lbs in the off season and feeling like shit , and he wants to be more devoted to his family.
I beg to differ..Flex looked awesome at the '99 Olympia and lets not forget won the 2000 Arnold Classic. He's mentally burnt out. He was suppose to do this Olympia natural but things weren't going well and apparently his health problems caught up with him..HIS STORY. I heard apparently what REALLY happened and it had nothing to do with health or even bodybuilding for that matter and the source was was pretty reliable but who the hell knows.
Flex was my favorite competitor but i've lost a little respect for how he's handled things this last year. May he finally find peace in his retirement.
FLEX "SUPPOSEDLY" FOUND GOD. he stated that he was tired of all the stress he had put on his body with bulking up so much in the offseason feeling like shit. they had a really good article one on one with him in flex mag a few months back..might have actually been last month if i remember correctly. i believe it was something else that forced him to retire tho, aside from family reasons tho i dont know for sure what it is. flex is a good guy tho and i think he has the absolute best genetics in pro bodybuilding today. he's a great competitor and was surely missed.
