Shawn Ray
Back To Top





Strengths 

Shawn is another kind of bodybuilder who I really can't pick out just one good quality about, so I won't even start - he showed the kind of balance of muscularity, shape and conditioning that every bodybuilder should strive for at his level of competition.

Weaknesses:

Some would say Shawn is too small (although I wouldn't). To me, you really can't improve on perfection, and that is one thing Shawn didn't try to do - play the size game. He found his peak, and stayed there. That said, if you put his body on a six foot tall frame, he would probably have a few Sandows to his name. Height is one of those things that is considered, whether deliberately or not, when judging a bodybuilding competition.

Flex Wheeler
Back To Top






Strengths

Flex had amazing detail in his back that few other bodybuilders have been able to duplicate. This was especially apparent in his rear double biceps post. His abs were deep cut and blended perfectly with his streamlined midsection. His full muscle bellies swelled off his tiny joints and he had proportions which can only be compared to a cartoon character. He was nicknamed "The Sultan of Symmetry" for a reason.

Weaknesses:

Flex's rear lat spread did not fare well compared to some of his competition - especially Ronnie Coleman and Dorian Yates, and that may be one of the reasons why he was never Mr. Olympia. As history has taught us, the Mr. Olympia contest is won from behind. With that, he never did take home a Sandow. Flex also tried to play the size game and it didn't work out in his favour - he looked best at about 225 pounds, but often competed heavier.
