ya his legs are not as big anymore, sometimes you see that when guys get older

Yep. You see it happening to guys like Victor Martinez already.

Just watched that video Holy shit the pics don't even do him justice he looked GREAT. You guys think his legs are small, or just smaller than they used to be?
To ME, in my stupid means nothing opinion, you put that guy on the olympia stage this year(open not 212) and he is top 3. I think he's right up their with Phil. Yeah Phil is no doubt bigger so that edges him I think. Course I think Flex is better than most too so...

Victor was gaining size back he lost when he did the NY PRO. He looks alot bigger now with the show he just did.

I agree with you, I think his legs look as good as ever. And I think he would be top 3-5 at the O with the big boys, not the 212. He used to compete against the big boys back in the day and to me should have always placed higher. He is about the only one I've ever seen besides Sergio do the victory pose that doesnt look skinny doing that.

Not quite as big as he has been but he's harder than ever. His glutes and hams were never cut like this.

I don't think he would win the 212 Olympia looking like this but top 6, sure.

I think he was placed pretty fairly in the past. He has that dwarfish skeletal structure that is hard to look past. His lower body was never quite conditioned enough. Some symmetry issues with the disparity between arm and chest size for example. Oversized arms can look pretty damn good though, whereas a more symmetrical guy may not look as "cool".

Lee was not reinstated in the IFBB. Bob Chic said he was trying to get Lee back in put Lee refused to get on his knees and kiss ass. Dude was just too out spoken.

The audio towards the end was kinda hard to hear with the ppl cheering. What did he say his plans for the future were? I know he joked that he may retire again but said something about bring either himself or something back up to the top where he knows it could be??

I hope he plans on competing more.

After seeing the video he def doesnt have the size he used to bring but his condition was awesome! Not that he was small by any means just not the size I remember him binging to the stage. I am very happy for him, I like that he is outspoken and doesnt kiss ass! I respect that big time!

Maybe not quiet as large, but he still looks amazing.

Is there any info out there on how he dieted and trained for the Universe? I've done a little searching and found a little bit on some youtube vids but not much.

 

[Elvia1023]

He looks incredible. One of the best I have seen in recent times. He is smaller than he used to be and that combined with his height would mean a struggle at the O. He could do great at the 212 though...top 4 for sure. His hams looked amazing... well everything else did too.

 

[xjpx]

He was really nice, mega humble and didnt seem arrogant at all, I got to pump up with him backstage and was so nice to see how much of a gent he was.

 

[goatfishtwo]

I almost feel like winning the Universe is a better accomplishment than winning the O. Better physiques IMO.

Lol... You can't be serious.

More of an agreement of philosophies than absolute seriousness

Touché.

Always liked Lee and he is GREAT.

 

[Zoid23]

He definitely still has it. Although, his upper body does overshadow his legs.

Lee's conditioning was fantastic, way more dry than the other guys in the top callout
