Old 90's work out TV shows !!!

[Ryce]

I was searching you tube today and came across some old 90's morning workout TV shows like Flex magazine workout and American muscle magazine from ESPN back in the early to mid 1990's. Made me think back to my youth when iw oudl wake up at 6:30 am flip on the ESPN while I was taking a shower and remember seeing those shows.

I kinda miss them. I was watching a few on you tube with Lee Priest and Shawn Ray, Boyer Coe, Kevin Levrone. Man I wish we had shows like that on now. Even back in the day they had those fitness shows like bodyshaping and Kiana's Flex Appeal. Although not bodybuilding by our standards, they were fitness shows none the less.

Does anybody else miss waking up to that?? Kinda got me thinking it doesnt feel like morning anymore without those shows. Miss the old zebra pants too. LOL!! Nothing like seeing Kevin levrone and and Shawn Ray in contest shape bsuing out 275 on shoulder presses for reps to get you pumped in the morning.

Anybody else miss these type of shows. Too bad we dont have shows like this anymore. I still haven't figured out why ESPN would drop them as morning programming?

With today's steroid hysteria, shows like that would come under tremendous scrutiny. Maybe a John Basedow TV series, now that would be something. Also, ESPN is pimping their own programming now.

That Flex promoted show was soooooooo cool.

Anyone out there have copies of the old flex show? I saw them on a trading list years ago, but lost track of the guy...

Copies of an entire show are impossible to find unless you have them video taped on VHS from back in the day. You might find clips here or there but an entire show is very difficult to locate. All those shows were good. Flex magazine workout, ESPN american muscle magazine, musclesport USA, all the old olympia and arnold coverages on ESPN. Hell even the NPC nationals and USA on fox sports net were good.

Back in the 1990's ESPN survived because they had bodybuilding to show. They showed it all the time and then dropped it like a bad habit. Now they show hot dog eating and paint ball. Paint ball can get some love but not bodybuilding???
