Hahaha

Living the life flex is living now, he’s better off dead honestly

That “comeback” from 2016 is what did him in IMO, after that he fell apart rapidly, stupid idiots juicing the whole time

It was all well worth it in the end

Good point about 2016. I wonder how much that played a role in the health decline? Would he be fine today if he didn’t compete in that show?

Also, is Don Long still alive?

Bhank can now claim he has Flex Wheeler-like symmetry: atrophied right arm, normal sized left with injections.

Flex treated me like shit, so fuck ‘im.

No, that’s too much.

I do feel sympathy for the guy, actually.

But he abused his body to an alarming degree. And as stated, his ridiculous return to competition smacked another one or two nails into his coffin.

His entire body is shutting down.

It’s terrifying shit.

However, too few people take serious note of examples like Wheeler and Coleman, and they think, It won’t happen to me.

The human body is a remarkably enduring machine, but each has its limit.

None of us know exactly what that limit is.

A while back he said they have warned him that the arms may go too. But he was still positive, "as long I'm alive it's worth it"
Imagine having just a torso.

Why is he losing limbs anyway? (and why can't you take preventative action when you're already in the know?)

" In a attempt to save my right leg. A stent was put in my right peck that goes all the way down to my right leg.
Unfortunately the day after the emergency surgery the stent irrupted. Within seconds my right peck, shoulder and neck was full of Blood🩸 to the point were my neck was so swollen that I was losing consciousness due to not being able to breathe. My amazing doctors had to go in and do a emergency surgery to stop the blood loss. But due to me being on intravenous heparin ,
They had to wait 24 hours to make sure I wouldn’t bleed out. So I laid there screaming and hallucinating going in and out of consciousness. Due to the nerve damage and neuropathy. I lost full usage of my right peck, shoulder all the way down to my fingers. ( evidently blood and nerve endings/internal tissue don’t get along too well )

                                                                                                       

I had to learn how to do EVERYTHING!! I mean EVERYTHING ( FEEL ME ) Even write with my left hand.
I’ve gained about 20% of my right peck, arm and hand back so far... _____

Thank GOD for the little things 🙏🏾 Disabled. But I’m not disabled!!! 🙏🏾 "

His arms are all messed up, see the start of this - https://www.instagram.com/officialflexwheeler/reel/C8pnPGSy3Gu/ .


Sorry to hear everything youve been through ...
glad youre doing better day by day

shawn ray had a healthy approach to bbing,he was smart in terms of marketing himself,competing ,and wht he needed to use to be competitive without killing himself.maybe as a person people say this and that about him but even to this day he comes across well in terms of the bodybuilding world.wheeler on camera recently at shows was a more humble version go figure.

He had the best physique ever at the Arnold 93 so you can't take that away from.him

But like a dumb fuck he.sized up and ruined his perfect aesthetic

He was 213 of 216 there anyone know what he weighed later on stage?


Boyer coe and Francis benefetto also did the same dumb fucking thing

Gotta hand it to Paul Jean Gulliume though as he never chased this over size horseshit and kept his ace aesthetic

People have the misconception that he ruined his kidneys when he got bigger But in reality when he was around 220 ripped he already caused lots of stress in his kidneys... the extremely low body fat taxed out 93 /95 ... he was admitted to hospitals numerous occasions in his 20s ....  Weider never wanted his athletes to be vocal about their injuries let alone organs issues/heath ... but there are articles pictures from 30 years ago where Flex where lays with his lean beautiful aesthetically pleasing physique already fcked .

Crazy to think he has been dying for us for over 30 years ..... but true

WooooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Flex is hated for being the biggest Douche in BB history (even ahead of Ferrigno)...  So he brought everything to himself" HOWEVER...
Did he really abuse his body to an alarming degree more than guys like Gaspari and Levrone ?

Gaspari had the lowest BF of his era, striated glutes Olympia runner up at what 20? 21? lol
Levrone was runner up in his first Olympia 2 years prior he was not even a pro ...

They went the extra mile" meaning they were putting more drug/diuretics recklessly than the most ferocious fearless warrior ...
sure they're all illustrious BB hall of famers but in the end both Gaspari and Kevin just got luckier than Poor Flex.

Damm serious question why would flex lose his arms ?
Maybe because of the same problem he has in the legs. Or the gallons of oil he stuffed them years ago, when he was alread falling down.

Actually Levrone was known to take long time off and pursue other endeavours in life. He stepped on the gas yes, but only for shows, later in his career.

I don't even remember what the specific disease he has (maybe it had something to do with artherosclerosis?) apart from the kidney issues, but he said the arms may go for the same reason the leg went.
And IIRC he amputated the leg mostly due to intractable pain, I don't think it was "dead" but I may be wrong.

I don't laugh at him, and wouldn't even call him a dumbass even if he was dumb. This fate is just horrible but I have some kind of admiration for him not killing himself and for taking the effort to get around some. And for still taking steroids lol. One thing he said was that at some points he was so heavily into opiates the docs said he will never ever get off them, impossible. But at the time of the DJ and Milos podcast a while back he said he'd been off them for a long time. So there's probably an incredible stubborness inside there lol.

Why didn't Flex get involved in supplements? He's only been hawking absolute shit, for example smilax drops ffs. All supps are somewhat fraudulent but there's proteins and aminos and a few choice items which aren't a total scam. Like Labrada's RTDs or whatever.
