True

but its well known that flex kind of abused drugs

He admitted to cheating a lot on Burger King.. if he was even 90% he would have been better and unstoppable..

I will use this quote in the future.

But if flex were really only 70%, that means he would at 100% destroy Ronnie too?

I think Dorian was blessed with a connection to some great steroids and growth hormone why doesn't he bring that up lmfaaaooo 😂 🤣 I love weight training but this whole mr Olympia thing makes no sense to me as soon as they get off the juice these guys shrivel away to normal sized people what's the achievement? I just don't get it

@@Bushey4545 agree!

@@Bushey4545 They are all on the juice, so the playing field is level.It comes down to who trains the hardest(Arnold, Dorian, Ronnie)

thomas augo you don’t have to get it, that is why it is not for you.

Have you seen Dorian at 9 months training? He’s huge!

alphagamer047 Character beats talent!!!

In this case it wasn’t talent it was genetics

@@firefx99 Absolutely!

@@cooper482011 I see U king!!!!

Or having a BETTR cycling game than your opponents.

No wonder his hammies and glutes were never shredded. He didnt go that extra mile

Paul Dillet has entered the chat

Him(flex) and cormier used to party a lot, maybe that's why.

You get flex lazy and then you get asthma induced Dillett lazy...the Dillett stories are legendary..ask anyone but the Gary Strydom assessment on Dillett was hilarious. .so too that Australian promoter who brought Dillett over in 93...they thought he was trolling them with his workout before doing the guest pose. ..dude did twenty minutes of free weight lunges whilst on his cell phone..

@@jldp24 Is there any vid of this ?

Kiran Bhabal Flex, oil, and implants😂

sultan of symmetry

Disagree, Phil does.

@@manuelmendoza6766 Phil lol. Phil looks like a balloon. Funny looking guy and short. Arnold had best symmetry cuz he was tall. You can not look good under 6 foot.

@@nixazizu what does zynetth has to do with height?

flex had kidney issues prevented him from unleashing his true potential

Dorian winning with those injuries may have prompted Flex to say what he did, he was alluding to the politics.

@ijcn0jir3nvjn3fjcifn Well going with your logic Nasser should have won. He was bigger.

@@tonymontana9799 yet he could still place second place think you're confusing him with Dillette

@@tonymontana9799 yet he could still place second place think you're confusing him with Dillette

@John Szeles the only thing I can think of is that Mr gravano has ask well told him he can't release it until a certain date.. Meaning there's some interesting things gonna be said.. If its not that then he needs pull his finger out and release it... Don't no what I'm more excited for hour long sammy interview or the new breaking bad 😂

Had flex, shawn, nasser, levrone, dillet trained the way dorian did, Im not sure dorian would have a single sandow. The concept most people have difficulty grasping. Dorian was asked years ago what ronnie would look like if he trained with high intensity. His response was "I dont want to know."

@@luciano-km7mq so good! I really love this response friend.

@@luciano-km7mq True. But don't forget that Dorian also had many severe injuries because of his over the top heavy training. Just like Coleman. There is a thin line between training smart and training too heavy.

@@metalgamerk9549 Never stopped casey viator, mike mentzer, ray mentzer, Aaron baker, leroy davis, lee labrada, those who trained under Yates, the thousands who trained under mentzer, myself and the hudreds of thousands who had nothing to lose since they tried every other protocol that failed them on a LONG term basis. Ronnie never trained high intensity (heavy weight lifted very strictly. ex: lift with no momentum, hold for at least 2 seconds and lower for 3 to 5 seconds. Pause for a second then repeat). He just lifted very heavy. Btw, that back injury he endured was in 96. Shit happens. I strained my lower back picking up a 25 pound dumbell about a week after deadlifting 500Ibs with no problem. Freak accidents. The only mistake yates made was training too frequently. Even though the drugs compensated for it, he wouldve been much bigger had he cut down the volume even more. It tickles my funny bone to hear people who dont fully understand the concept (and principals) of hit try to explain why it's either a bad idea or doesnt work. The 1st principle is identity: The nature of the body and how it adapts/copes to stress. The principle of Frequency is also misunderstood - by even the pros. After a while, 3 days of rest wont be sufficient. A full week or longer may be necessary (even that changes). Until that person understands all 7 principles of hit, that individual has no room to speak on the subject. Funny how some people insist on arguing about something they know nothing about. It makes me laugh and gives me a headache at the same time. True competitors compete to win. We all heard the famous quote of herman edwards. The money will come. If you're there just for a check, then no one is gonna take you seriously.

Roderic Grant I remember one video that showed Chris Cormier training at Dorian’s Temple Gym in England. Cormier was known to train heavy and even he couldn’t handle Dorian’s workout. He went outside to the back alley and vomited.

I'd like know who coached flex

Was it flex who told ronnie all that? I think it was kevin who did, could be wrong tho.

@john hinsdale now look at them...Flex lost his leg & Ronnie can barely walk using 2 legs.

Do you reckon the drugs & dosages can make you win effortlessly

Flex told his "secrets" to Coleman in 94-95, Ronnie started dominating in 98... Even a bigger mistake by Flex was getting Ronnie to work with Chad Nicholls, who did his diet and got him dry for shows...up until 98 or so Ronnie was in many ways the Roelly of the 90s, a big guy with some outstanding body parts and poses but never conditioned and thus a real threat to anyone

They still do.

Look at him now. Look at his arms, what he did to himself? Lost leg due to Synthol abuse too! Dorian didnt use that crap

the ideal body for the average gym rat maybe-great arms , abs with ok back and legs but if you go with the IFBB criteria he doesnt even come close to Yates out of the then 7 mandatory poses he beats dorian in front double biceps,and for the sake of argument lets gibve him the abs& thigh pose as well.But Dorian beats him in the 2 back poses, the 2 side poses and the front lat spread plus dorian was way more conditioned, ppl just think he beat flex cause he was bigger, but he was also also harder,drier and denser.Of coruse the average gym rat doesnt care for density or hardness like he cares for peaked biceps and aligned 6 pack abs..

😂😂😂😂😂

Sorry I don’t play tribal politics.

No bad politics

Very disappointed... Valutainment will keep calling the shots on their terms i guess cuz we can't send a message.... *Politics*, 😆 thats hilarious cuz this is all about me fulfilling my need to control ppl in some youtube comment section..... It gets me off and makes me feel whole, ya know? Anyways... See y'all in the gravanno video comment section sometime next year when it drops. ✌

There are about a hundred and more movies and series about the Mafia. Of course people are more interested in a legendary Mafia underboss interview than some Bodybuilder. What are you smoking.

Agree Sammy is a low life. Dorian and all the other body builders are roid user.

Dorian is a god

@@timothymark389 Far from it.

Sit down and shut your fucking mouth and fuck America you fat bastards

Dorian just won cuz he was a bit bigger then flex but prime Flex 1998-2001 was too bigger than Dorian he used to rival big Ron in size

Harimann Bakshi yeah he used to Robo call Ronnie in size but that’s like comparing Someone’s size at 22 y/o to someone’s size at 16. You cannot compare them like that you compare them with prime versus prime

@@harimannbakshi5447 lol 😃 Dorian was 257 in 93 and Flex was 218, thats almost whole 40 lbs, and you call it ''a bit'' bigger? 😃 and after that in 98 and 99 Flex got bigger in weight but he was still nowhere near to Dorian in size+conditioning. He was 240 ish with condition Dorian had offseason lol. And Ronnie also was not at his biggest yet, he was less than 260.

Which era should he have been in?

Flex was the right bodybuilder on the wrong day/competition. He didn't show up to the '93 Olympia with same condition he displayed at the '93 ASC. The same could be said for the '98 Olympia & ASC..

HardrockGX Perhaps... but I don’t think he was beating Yates on his best day. Flex was my favorite bodybuilder of all time... But he wasn’t going to win Olympia in the era of mass monsters. And hats off to Yates... the Olympia was his goal and he took it.👍

He could he in any era. He just didn't work hard enough to win the Olympia. But hell, he won everything else!

David Pierce Any era except the Dorian, Ronnie and Jay Cutler eras. Those were the eras of the mass monsters.

Michael Jordan never lost an NBA Finals championship. Dorian lost his first Mr. Olympia to Lee Haney in 1991.

@@cooper482011 jordan got swept in the playoffs,before he started winning he couldnt even make the finals.Same goes for Dorian,once he started winning,he never lost.Then again Dorian shouldnt even be in the conversation for the goat,that is between Ronnie and Dexter.

@@blackeesh463 dexter xd haney ron phil and dorian

@@blackeesh463 Dexter?? GOAT? He is without a doubt in the top ten as he is a truly phenomenonal bodybuilder....but he is not in the running for GOAT. He won the Olympia, and he looked incredible in doing so, but many others have won the Olympia and are not even in consideration for the top ten greatest. Columbu, Dickerson, Bannister are good examples. Jackson has turned up in shape time after time and is a true representation of longevity in the sport (and personally my favourite bodybuilder), but his package is too incomplete to be considered in the running for GOAT, I'm thinking of high lat insertions, no calves, a certain lack of width, these may be minor considerations but they still matter in the overall assessment. That said, I can see why you might consider him given his continued showings right up until the age of 50, that is worthy of special recognition on its own.

It wouldve not looked gon his part because it wouldve been a lie Doran ushered in the mass monster era that's wht got him by

No kidding man, the video is already close to 10M views.

Mike Lyons WE WANT SAMMY

@@user-el9th6sj8f they're having a laugh now it's been time

Mike Lyons I wonder why it’s taking so long

Nelson Montana In 93? No way

Flex had the arms,Dorian the back,calves,conditioning to win

93 flex is perfect. Dorian with skinny arms lol. I think judges tilted Dorian for being white. How did Shawn Ray not beat him. Dorian started the bubble guy era

@@linq7584 Please, don't bring the race bullshit into it.

@@linq7584 They didn't tilt when Haney won and Dorian came second.

second coming of Haney

I think you could poll 1,000 people on the street and ask them who theyd rather look like and probably 990 of them would chose Flex.

@@Flexb123 they sure would

You'll never achieve anything close to any of them

@@moredrugsmoreshrugs872 i know, but anyway...flex makawy,shawn,labrada,vic richards, de mayo,matarazzo,t.pastel, and CHARLES CLEIRMONT....the most underrated bb of all time

yeah it was all the way in 96 when he got challenged a bit by Nasser but the other guys knew they couldnt take him

@@TheLusianPopa actually he gave Dorian pressure in 97 where he came in second. but what I am referring to is after he won the 92 it came back in 93 it was a completely different Dorian no one could touch him he was in such good shape that goes photos that came out in Flex were few months before the Olympia and right then in that exact condition he could have beat everybody on stage

An then came ronnie

What could you possibly want from an interview with Sammy gravano that wasn't in his book. He's a criminal who got off easy and it still wasn't enough. Then he got himself sent back to prison and dragged his whole family down with him. Why do people find this guy fascinating?

field rnen WTF is your problem? You really have nothing better to do than type the same “Sammy” bullsh!t?

@raq 01 no im not kidding, I think flex looks better man

Dorian also never faced Prime Flex. 98-2001 version. Flex's only problem was other than his rookie year he could never peak at the Mr O. He'd peak at the arnolds and look unbeatable(98-2000) but Mr O would come next and all of a sudden it wasn't the same Flex.

@@Flexb123 flex wheeler best shape is in that video that's being played of him in the beginning 1999 Grand Prix

@@Flexb123 Prime Flex was the 93 AC and the 98 AC/Ironamn .IN 93 Olympia Flex was not very far off his prime AC shape/condition and Yates destroyed him in everything. Flex was actually not in his prime at all in 99-2001, by that point he couldnt nail hsi condition anymore and was synthoeld to the gills either way a prime dorian will kill a prime flex any day -front lat spread, back double biceps, back lat spread, side triceps, side chest=all dorian 5 of the 7 mandatories so its not even close I do agree Flex shorchanged himself by doint the arnolds every year, and he couldnt pea twice a year

@@TheLusianPopa Conditioning sure 93 but overall was '98 and '99 Arnolds where he was bigger and still had sharp condition. In fact it was 98 or 99 where Arnold said that was the best physique he had EVER seen on a stage.

@@Flexb123 well best conditioning is the best overall, you cant separate the 2 flex didnt even compete in 99 arnold still sharp?in 99>?no he was not sharp enugh the best phisique as in who you;d rather look like maybe but even that phisique would lose at least 4 of 7 compulsories to a prime yates
