I’ve a major back surgery coming up and that’s going to be pretty intensive. I’ll be really cutting clear about it. They’re not even sure if I’ll be able to make it through that surgery or the recovery. But it’s something I have to do because I can’t endure the pain anymore,” Flex Wheeler said.
“The tube that they put down your throat to help you breathe while you’re unconscious, unfortunately did a lot of damage to my throat. So, Monday morning I had to call emergency. They brought me in and immediately the EMT said you’re not going to make it tomorrow. We’re definitely going to keep you for 24 hours.”

amazing to think when he competed and people,fans,judges,fellow competitors would see this guy and based on a physical level'yes attained on steroids'was a bbing god.and now reduced due to it a physical mess.

And yet, in his mid 40's our future superstar, with no genetic potential of winning a local show let alone going pro.............thinks it's all worth it, and still looks to Don Youngblood as his role model.
What a shame.
Hope things work out for Flex. He seems very much more humble even b4 losing his legs, so I hope he makes it through to still be able to work, and provide for his family. The BBing community is always interested in what he has to say still.

It is depressing to watch. I read that at one point he had 16 cars or something.
He made enough money to sock away a million dollars.
I sometimes wonder if I'm the only Getbigger who ACTUALLY did that. ::)
Seriously, WTF is wrong with people, wanting to work shitty 9 to 5's for some reasons? I don't get why they don't just sock away a measly $1M to $2M, and live off that.
Some people don't earn enough money to do that, but Flex DEFINITELY did. And he's broke.

He's losing more and more parts. Bodybuilding is supposed to add not subtract.

Is he still married to Madeline? That seemed like a strange couple. She looked like someone who would marry a (rich) white dude.

Legs plural..!?! :o No way - I knew his bicep had collapsed and disappeared, but not another leg too..? Jesus - Sultan of Asymmetry or what!?

Better to live pedal to the metal as a thong warrior and have your body slowly whittled away piece by piece until you are a mere limbless stump, endure excruciating pain through countless operations including having a breathing tube rammed down your throat that ruins your esophagus, than to live a long, healthy life with family and enduring friendships with Getbiggers.

I would imagine your protocol is closer to Flex than mine again Flex's health problems have nothing to do with me

The fool is an absolute mess.
In all honesty, it’s tragic.
He’s still a reasonably young man, and his body is wrecked, inside and out.
Was a complete tool in the ‘90s, but at this point I actually do feel sympathy for him.
To go from comic-book physique to a trashed gimp with faltering organs is brutal.

;D ;D ;D
It is worthy of sympathy. I normally like Rise and Fall stories...but more like in fiction, like Scarface. Not so much real life stories with actual living, breathing [barely] human beings.

Yes- it is one of the most powerful painkillers out there. I had it for kidney stones. The downside is they can't give it to you too frequently or you stop breathing. That's the ultimate reality.

WTF happened to his bicep? Any photos?

Again everyone says it's harmless but that synthol shit is going to cause circulation and blood flow issues and I don't believe it doesn't cause kidney damage either. He was also shooting it into his calves you know like the one he had to have amputated wouldn't be surprised if his arm was fucked from it as well
-
He just needs collard green shakes how can a man put all his faith in doctors ill never understand

Sad. Like a bbing espn 30/30 the rise and fall of flex wheeler

That stuff is horrid.

I had a deviated septum fixed which was pretty brutal to deal with temporarily.
Some of the worst pain was from the breathing tube after though.
I’ve never heard of it causing permanent damage to someone though.

That is depressing.

Brutal if true
-

I know you’re trolling but collard green is toxic for human consumption. Even children are smart enough to spit it out
-

I have used a opioid drug similar to that (tapentadol) and it just made me sleepy. Didn't relieved me the pain from my herniated disc either, so i stopped it.
-
That is depressing.
That is decompressing.
-
WTF happened to his bicep? Any photos?
IIRC - he needed a vein transplant to try to save his (long-gone) calf
Apparently it was this - and not the pints of oil he obviously used for his 'comeback' (insert pics of that event here) - that led to its collapse

Just to return to this starkly beautiful dark prose, I've realised it reminded me of something/someone....
Flex Vader! ;D

Why on earth did this idiot even make a “comeback?” That comeback really did him in even more

Yeah, but he's still an Iron Warrior - throwing the massive poundages around...

Textbook form of peace….
If you asked somebody that didn’t follow bodybuilding to guess this guy’s occupation, it would most likely be something like stocking the shelves at Walmart. Clearly not a professional bodybuilder from the near past

FROM his past standpoint this is sad to see,watching his prime yrs him doing chest shirtless'no homo'weight belt on and cartoonish mass and round shape fullness like unreal and then to this is sad...i guess he found god or humbled to point of no return,he walked around like he was king shit for long time in those yrs..

All that synthol and silicone he pumped into himself had to go somewhere. Sad. Wish him well.
-
What did him worse, the pro career, or the 2010s when he was full of oil ???
-

That he did that truly is stupefying.
He proved nothing and seriously damaged the memory of his prime physique with his shitass look.

Hows it toxic, i never said it tastes good its a medicinal food
-
Still has a better arm than Bhanks though

;D
All that GH did give him a brutal 'Watchoo talkin' bout, Dillet?' nose...
-

It all went in the trash with the rest of his bodyparts.

take away the drugs and such and most of these ain't much.

"my next surgery - im becoming a woman!!" - Flex Wheeler
-
it's very sad to see
flex wasn't a humble man in his prime, he loved to show off his godly physique
i wonder if he could go back in time knowing what he knows now, would he still do it? what he would do differently
i wonder how different things could've been if he just stayed away from synthol or didn't try a "natural" comeback in 2002

His comeback was ill advised as apparently, he was already having some health issues
-
The arm is gone from disc degeneration, the nerves that control the muscles are compressed by his vertebrae, lot of guys who went hard and heavy in the gym back in the day end up with spinal issues and muscular atrophy at the effected muscle related spinal level. Priest Coleman Cutler etc, I have three replaced discs in my spine from similar, on saying that Flex looks like he's let his go a long time, most people, jump on it at the pain stage or certainly the first sign of atrophy. I lost my right side, 12 year post op it improves but you will never be symmetrical again, its the big equaliser as far as bodybuilding and life goes, you can no longer get bigger as the nerve effected side won't grow and the other side will. Basically if you weren't retired you are.
