What's going on, everybody?

Welcome back to the Real Bodybuilding podcast, and I am here with one of the legends of bodybuilding.

Some people say maybe the greatest bodybuilder of all time, potentially.

Flex, what do you say? Hello.

Man, I say opinions vary, bro.

You know, some people hate me.

Some people love me, but regardless, I'm just going to try to be me.

How are you doing?

I'm good.

Flex, nobody hates you.

Your physique has been iconic. People compare all new

physiques that come out that are aesthetic to your physique. Your physique is the benchmark for

what is considered aesthetic in body building. So I just want to say thank you for coming on my show. It's an honor to have you on my show. We've never really had a chance to speak at length at all. I'm sure we've seen each other at shows and said hello here and there, but we've never really had a chance to talk. So thank you for coming on the show and giving me some time. Not a problem, brother.

Not a problem.

Like you said, we've, for over a decade, we've seen each other moving back and forth. But I always had an incredible amount of respect for you, brother, and what you've done.

How is your recovery and everything going?

It's slow.

As you know, you've had your own setbacks with adversity on that.

Things are not always easy.

Yeah.

This is a nerve thing, so nerves take a long time to heal.

Yeah.
