Ehsan FarahiHOST
Yeah, I know him for a while.
Ehsan FarahiHOST
But the point is, Nick Walker right now is Mr. Olympia.
Ehsan FarahiHOST
He's the number one of this sport.
Ehsan FarahiHOST
It's like I'm going to the Messi and then give them the ball.
Victor MartinezHOST
Let's
Vlad YudinHOST
go back to Nick Walker for a second.
Vlad YudinHOST
So Nick Walker said his goal is to win every Olympia and Arnold Classic until 2030, I think you said, right? Wow.
Vlad YudinHOST
For the next, what, four years?
Brian RoseHOST
My guest today is Kenneth Flex Wheeler, the American professional bodybuilder once described by Arnold Schwarzenegger as one of the greatest he ever saw.
Brian RoseHOST
You won the Arnold Classic four times and competed in Mr. Olympia throughout the 90s, notoriously coming second to both Dorian Yates in 93 and Ronnie Coleman in 98. who would then go on to hold the title for eight years in a row.
Brian RoseHOST
In 99, you were diagnosed with a rare kidney disease and announced your retirement from bodybuilding in 2000.
Brian RoseHOST
Last year, you had a comeback and competed in the Mr. Olympia Classic Physique.

of the whole thing of me getting ready and just having private conversations with me and all that stuff.
Kenneth Flex WheelerGUEST
And even, well, we'll get to that fast forward.
John LiviaHOST
no the conditioning so can you guys see this Okay, so this is what he writes.
John LiviaHOST
The recent results of the 2026 Mr. Olympia Open class was thrown into total disarray.
John LiviaHOST
Those of us who grew up in the classical era tend to measure bodybuilders in the criteria established during physiques of the past.
John LiviaHOST
That was the standards demanding the expected of us, demanded and expected of us.
John LiviaHOST
Points were awarded in all three areas.
John LiviaHOST
Not just one, but a point system that combined the three.
John LiviaHOST
The recent outcome of the Olympia appears to award muscularity conditioning only, which says to future bodybuilders that symmetry and posing is no longer part of the stand to being a complete Olympian.
John LiviaHOST
As a result, the Mr. Olympia Open class is truly open to whoever brings the best and most dangerous level of conditioning near death as possible.
Paul BarnettHOST
They don't There are a handful of shows that have it.
Paul BarnettHOST
Hopefully they've got the shit sorted out with the Masters Olympia.
Paul BarnettHOST
They're going to bring that back to Texas next year, but I think more guys would be motivated to compete if that was more.
Paul BarnettHOST
But the Masters Olympia, there are no age classes.
Paul BarnettHOST
It's just open.
Paul BarnettHOST
So if you're a 50-couple-year-old, do you want to go out there and compete against somebody who just turned 40? Yeah.
Paul BarnettHOST
Right.
Paul BarnettHOST
You know, so there, there is that.

Martin WinstonGUEST
Cumulatively, probably about two months, 10 weeks in the States this year, Mexico, well, that side of the world.
Martin WinstonGUEST
And, you know, with the time zones, you know, for example, at the Olympia, I was running into Olympia pre and finals.
Martin WinstonGUEST
I had four or five guys on the Saturday in Europe and then the same again on the Sunday.
Martin WinstonGUEST
So I had 10 athletes across Europe competing whilst I was at the Olympia.
Martin WinstonGUEST
So I was finishing pre, judging, getting home at like, 11 o'clock 12 o'clock at night and then obviously that's 5 6 7 a.m european time so these guys are waking up on their show day and then it's pretty much uh run through all the way through you know and that's That side of the world is difficult.

Ron HarrisGUEST
I mean, he became, within two years of going over there, he became Mr. Olympia.
John LiviaHOST
Yeah.
Ron HarrisGUEST
He was a guy that, as an open guy, people were saying, you're too small.
John LiviaHOST
I think people aren't realizing it.
John LiviaHOST
I think when people are in the eye of the storm, they can't see it.
John LiviaHOST
But 10 years from now, people are going to be talking about how nobody knew who was going to be Mr. Olympia for these last five years.
John LiviaHOST
Everybody was, yeah, it was a crapshoot, you know, where during Brandon's period, it was low.
