LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, UNITED STATES, October 20, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- LAS VEGAS – Kenneth "FLEX" Wheeler, the legendary/iconic professional bodybuilder and 4 time winner of the Arnold Classic, underwent emergency surgery last week which required the partial amputation of his right leg. Arnold Schwarzenegger once described “FLEX” as one of the greatest bodybuilders he had ever seen. Ronnie Coleman, who won the Mr. Olympia title 8 times in a row has stated that “FLEX” was the best bodybuilder he competed against.

This dude continues to fall apart.
Talk about an organism that just couldn’t withstand the (profound) abuse.
His return to competition a couple of years ago was an extremely poor decision and only produced a physique perhaps three percent of what is once was. Strange, it didn’t even remotely resemble the same build.
No question during his prime his was a cartoon body come to life, but the damage he did to himself is extreme. Naturally, Flex is a muscular twig.
Wheeler was an arrogant prick the few times him and I had interaction.

World Grey News has just reported the story with an update:

(Edit - this is a FAKE NEWS site on this story - Word Grey News)
Edit - REAL EDIT BY MATT C - ^^ I didn't make that edit! LOL, who was the perp? Ron?
But yes, I wrote that article, LOL.
Was it good?
-
On the bright side he has an excuse to never work out legs again
Either way really sucks
Between him and Ronnie, sad cases
-
This is nothing but ninja disinformation to cover up their racku of hona and inucupetence. Literally the only man in the world who could win an ass kicking contest with one leg has emerged victorious. No doubt he'll soon step forward with the truth.
-
How can steroids be so extremely fucking dangerous....For fuck sake this is horrible.
Was from his kidney failure situation? Some sort of consequence?
-
No doubt related to the mounds of foreign junk he shot into his calves.

Not fake...World Grey News has just reported the story with an update:

That article states that he lost his leg due to synthol usage.
It also stated that Flex was using 14 Viagra tabs per day.

"will make a full recovery if promising stem cell research allows his leg to grow back." ::)
-
Suspect calves to say the least.
-
Could someone add the little clarity on the subject matter? Did he have calf implants or inject Synthol directly into his gastro med/lat? I have seen the tissue damage from guys in Brazil using it but I've never heard of someone losing an arm. ???
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

This from World Grey News story is FAKE

I mean seriously, do you really think you can train eight hours a day, eat seven meals a day, have a personal masseuse to attend to you, consume a 30mg oxycodone pill every four hours, buy a ton of drugs, and spend money on silicone implants, while undergoing repeated back surgeries as a result of your post-Olympia training stupidity?"
Mr. Coleman was then told by Venice Beach Newswire reporter Markus Halberstram that he was asked to speak about Wheeler's current condition, and not his own.

Former two-term California governor and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger faxed a statement to the press which read in part "First and foremost, Flex Wheeler - known almost exclusively as"Mr. Aesthetic", to the bodybuilding world - was a phenomenally genetically gifted bodybuilder, but to be at the top of the bodybuilding ranks requires being loaded to the gills with every steroid known to man, and a number of agents to counter the side effects of those steroids, and often, additional agents, to counter the side effects of those agents. It can become a very vicious cycle, and that Flex Wheeler's penis was dormant despite his use of exactly half of the 28-count bottle of Viagra found in his home by police who arrived at the scene alongside paramedics is of no shock to me. I myself have not held an erection at any point in the past ten years."
Vince,
A Getbigger I trust completely has informed me you pack just over 8" in your jeans [no surprise to anyone who saw the 2010 Black/African average penis size on the global size chart that trended that year], but just because you don't suffer from erectile dysfunction issues, what makes you so confident another man can't?
Although I will say - 14 Viagra does sound excessive. Yikes. Does anyone know if that poses a health risk, or is it just a waste of Viagra?

Flex Wheeler will make a statement soon. The headline is true (below the knee), although the facts are not at all true. It is Flex Wheeler's story that has been going on for months to tell, and neither I nor others should make a joke on this serious event. I only hope Flex will make a positive impact on this story, as contrary to many, the Flex Wheeler in the last few years are vastly different than the Flex Wheeler from 10+ years ago. People can and do change as they grow older.

Calm down, Turbo Tits. It's hardly that serious. There's thousands of your young countrymen walking around right now after having lost their limbs and testicles abroad. They still have a laugh about it and retain a sense of humour. If this old narcissist has lost his leg through his own stupidity (after already losing a kidney) then why should he be given special dispensation? It's always bodybuilders, with their emotional hypersensitivity and deep-seated insecurities, that feel the need to turn every event into a melodramatic YouTube drama. Learn to live and die with some dignity.

If we had a section for dumbest and most insensitive post of the month, this would be it. If you’ve ever had a friend, relative or otherwise lose a limb just the psychological effect is a mind fuck in itself.

This is from Wikipedia on collapsed veins...
"Collapsed veins are a common result of chronic use of intravenous injections. They are particularly common where injecting conditions are less than ideal, such as in the context of drug abuse. Veins may become temporarily blocked if the internal lining of the vein swells in response to repeated injury or irritation."
Most likely caused by the oil he injects into his calfs. What a retard

You also clearly don't understand the difference between getting rid of something voluntarily and being 'savagely owned'. Which is surprising given that you're originally from South Africa.

That article states that he lost his leg due to synthol usage.
It also stated that Flex was using 14 Viagra tabs per day.
This information might be bogus.
-
That article is clearly fake - only truthful facts was Shawn Ray's.
Needless off the point posts here will be deleted.
Flex has been a friend of 20+ years, since 1997.
This happened, it happens to various soldiers, and others - are good people.
It is not the end of the world - and I know Flex will be at it, a grandfather, father - family which is important.
And we will see him again at various expos.
I wish him the best in his recovery.

I don't get the connection between Viagra and partial leg amputation. If anything, it would be more likely to need a penis amputation. In all seriousness, Viagra can wreck havoc with one's heart.

Lets all avoid the 800lb elephant in the room. So many of these icons from the 80's and 90's are turning out to be train wrecks in their 40's and 50's. Dorian and Shawn Ray seem to have smartened up.

Yes it can be a Tough Sport On Many - Depending On What they Do or Take.
I doubt the hideous side effects of extremes of one sort or another is confined just to the
Bodybuilding world, It’s just Likely more open & well known.
I don’t get why all the Hate & angst - as what those others do doesn’t affect your health

BREAKING NEWS: Flex Wheeler has emergency surgery.
Shocking news has hit the bodybuilding industry again this week. Bodybuilding legend, Flex Wheeler was rushed to the hospital to have emergency surgery on his right leg due to complications from a collapsed vein.Unfortunately, Flex Wheeler had his right leg partially amputated. Evolutionofbodybuilding. net was informed about the surgery last week but refrained from publishing the news. The news started to make its way to the media by various media and bodybuilding forums.
According to our sources, Flex Wheeler is going to make an announcement about his surgery and keep his fans updated on the situation in the coming days. After what Flex went through, Flex is in good spirits according to our sources. Even though Flex Wheeler never won the Mr. Olympia title, legends such as Arnold Schwarzenegger are on record saying that Flex was one of the best bodybuilders to ever grace the bodybuilding stage. Already some disgusting comments have been published on a certain forum regarding Flex Wheeler and what has happened to him. No one should ever wish something like this on anybody. Regardless of what some people think of Flex, he is a legend of the sport and dedicated his life to it. Respect must be given to this legendary champion. Evolutionofbodybuilding. net believe Flex will get through this as he is a true fighter and we surely believe he will still contribute to the sport of bodybuilding and fitness.

The article stated that Wheeler's long-time nickname was "Mr. Aesthetic".

That one article was fake but other sources are saying the amputation actually happened. I pray for his recovery and I hope he regains his health.

I think they mean "Mr Prosthetic"

Yes, confirmed: Flex had his right leg amputated.
-
Serious question: after the leg is removed what do they do with it? Can you ask to keep it? Like in a glass case or something as a souvenir

He's grasping at straws and making it up, you spastic. He's embarrassed and determined to have the last word because I laughed at his pathetic attempt to suck up to Ron - hence the lies. His statement is obviously an empirical one so get him to post the evidence and then you and your bum-chum can 'own' me.

Walter Sobchak? Zillotch?
Or were they the same? Regardless,I enjoyed reading their posts.

At least he has a great excuse not having to train legs anymore
Woof, what’s it been, five years since you been here?
-
I hope its a hoax, or that its just his little toe that was amputated.
-
pics or it didn't happen
-
It's starting to creep into the general press( https://heavy.com/sports/2019/10/flex-wheeler-leg-surgery/ ) , and Flex hasn't posted to his Instagram, which is usually active, in almost 2 weeks. So it looks like the story has legs (no pun intended).
-
Glad they amputated before the oil travelled to his brain, hoping for a quick recovery.

No TMZ yet?

In his prime:
Great photo his 1993 Ironman physique imo is his prime I say that because he had little too minimal Oil happening back then, after 1995-96...That changed Dramatically...his “look” @ the 1999 Mr Olympia in particular witch he’s always said was his best ever version of his physique and too this day he still maintains he was “robbed” was imo ridiculous the amount of oil he had injected into mainly his shoulders and Arms a blind man could see that.
In 1992-1993 he was incredible...after that timeframe you really didn’t know what was “real” on him.
-
In his prime:
Looked insane there, and his showing at the 2017 Mr Olympia wasn't all that bad considering his age.
But he should have never staged a comeback, with those ridiculous tattoos, syntholed arms and chicken legs.
Some guys just don't know when to hang up their boots :-\
-
I'm really sad that this news has become some sort of a joke and there's not a serious outlet with details of what in the hell happened to Flex Wheeler ......

Nick's Strength and Power reported on this.
That said, I remember you saying that women aren't the ones looking at rape porn.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
The statistics are completely clear. You're addressing settled social science, and you STILL deny that women are the ones looking up rape porn, haha.
Women are fucking losers. The sooner you accept this, the sooner you stop denying the obvious.

Mr. Coleman was then told by Venice Beach Newswire reporter Markus Halberstram that he was asked to speak about Wheeler's current condition, and not his own.

Hope that this is all blown out of proportion and it is not an amputation. But doesn't sound good with all these reports. Wish Flex the best.

He's an absolute vegetable. It's genuinely painful to watch him trying so hard to fit in with some of the US guys on here by regurgitating their political rhetoric and adopting their vacuous pejoratives as though he has even the slightest understanding of what's being said. He desperately wants to be in the 'cool gang' lol. He's probably sat at home right now in his string vest, making notes on who else he's going to 'ignore' this week. Retards like him (and Griffith) seem to only want free speech when it doesn't offend him personally. Criticize one of their heroes (Wheeler) by arguing that there's no reason why he should be exempt from mockery on a board notorious for it, and they throw a fit. Very weak men. Followers! Sad.

Great photo his 1993 Ironman physique imo is his prime I say that because he had little too minimal Oil happening back then, after 1995-96...That changed Dramatically...his “look” @ the 1999 Mr Olympia in particular witch he’s always said was his best ever version of his physique and too this day he still maintains he was “robbed” was imo ridiculous the amount of oil he had injected into mainly his shoulders and Arms a blind man could see that.
In 1992-1993 he was incredible...after that timeframe you really didn’t know what was “real” on him.

You would rather die than have a leg amputated? ???

It appears to be real now. I wonder what actually happened and how much of a partial leg amputation it is. If its the calf can they attach the foot to the knee? Or will he need a robot leg ? Can they make a built looking robot prosthetic for him?

possible it has to do with syntholing his calves in the late 90's/early 00's?

Eh, why is everybody saying "synthol" or "diabetes"???
Are people not considering he had DVT? Didn't flex have multiple surgeries with regards to establishing blood flow to his kidney with regards to his kidney replacement surgeries? If I'm not mistaken they had to take veins from his leg and use them in his kidneys. I can absolutely see that leading to vascular damage and decrease blood flow or vascular collapse in his lower legs especially the leg they harvested the thing from.

J/k of course. Gotta be a traumatic thing losing a limb. I know I never really sank in for me & I didn't take it seriously when they threatened to amputate both mine back in '14 (mine was cellulitis and sepsis however). I remember thinking " fuck that.

Had I left, I likely would be missing my right leg at the knee and left leg at the ankle as well (if I didn't die from the bacteria on my heart valve I wasn't aware of, that is)

I developed severe compartment syndrome in both legs and had surgery on them - made a full recovery. It does sound like acute compartment syndrome could be a possibility but that's usually caused by traumatic injury, and amputations are rare. Fuck knows what he could have been doing to develop that.

he was in a severe car crash as some point(mid 90's?)
But as I read collapsed veins are usually caused by injections
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collapsed_vein
Collapsed veins are a common result of chronic use of intravenous injections. They are particularly common where injecting conditions are less than ideal, such as in the context of drug abuse.
Veins may become temporarily blocked if the internal lining of the vein swells in response to repeated injury or irritation. This may be caused by the needle, the substance injected, or donating plasma. Once the swelling subsides, the circulation will often become re-established.
Permanent vein collapse occurs as a consequence of:
Long-term injecting
Repeated injections, especially with blunt needles
Poor technique
Injection of substances which irritate the veins; in particular, injection of liquid methadone intended for oral use.

No? Then you're talking out of your ass about something you don't understand.
People who think guys running 20-30mls of injectables have injection space left to waste with synthol, have never used 20-30, or 40ml of injectables.
Have you used 20-30ml/wk of injectables?
No? Then you're talking out your ass about something you don't understand.

Possibly.
But Don Long had a Kidney transplant before Flex. I don’t think that Don has problems in his lower legs. However, I do believe that Don is currently incarcerated.
I don't believe they harvested veins from his legs, either. At least he hasn't talked about it... Tom Prince also hasn't lost a leg.
Kidney transplant doesn't always = Losing a leg.
"Collapsed veins due to injections" usually means IV injections, as anyone who's IV drugs before can tell you, but collapsed veins don't always mean amputation, else you'd see a lot of armless people at NA meetings.
Try damaging a femoral-vein and see what that gets you, however. There's also a major vein that leads down behind the knee.
It's probably more likely that flex had a damaged artery in that leg (artery's supply blood, veins return it back up the leg. Damaging a "vein" won't usually result in loss of a limb, however damage an artery will... And quickly. Anyone who's accidentally injected into an artery .
the blood will be bright red. Venus blood will be dark red. If you ever seen a trauma victim dead on the street, or if they're still alive and are surrounded by pulling bright bright blood, they're going to be dead very quickly because that's blood being pumped out of the body by an artery..
Injecting into an artery will send whatever you injected into the limb (down to your hand or foot for example) & will be very very painful, and you'll know it within seconds..damage an artery and that limb loses blood supply and can/will die... Hence the dangers with compartment syndrome, as it'll cut off blood supply to that tissue.
Anyone remember that chic who was associated with the delrey misfit people? She supposedly nodded off from an opiate dose in an odd seated position and developed. Compartment syndrome for which they had to cut open her legs to relieve pressure. Had. They not, she could've lost her lower.legs as well.
This shit isn't something I'm unfamiliar with.

Sounds like Eric might be right. Probably not compartment syndrome but a collapsed vein maybe leading to sepsis or something like that ???
Collapsed vein wouldn't lead to sepsis though. Sepsis is bacterial blood infection and could be secondary to something like cellulitis, which could develop from either an infected injection site, or even just a scratch/scrape that got infected and not treated for a period (scraping shins on a deadlift bar in my case,however sepsis would also include a sky high fever, uncontrollable shaking/shivering, pouring sweat while freezing cold, and can escalate quickly. My lower legs looked like elephants feet, 19in from calve all the way down to the heel so you can barely fit into your shoes. I still have periodic edmea in lower legs 5yrs later (& I still have my kidneys, despite being told I was in "kidney faliure" on at least 3 occasions. They supposedly function normally now and recovered each time after a few days, even though, like I said I still have edema from time to time (like right now I can push my finger into my shin for 10sec and leave a 1/2-3/4" indent), which could restrict bloodflow.
It's possible he had cellulitis that went untreated for a couple months (mine took a month to land me in the ER with sepsis).
It's also possible he developed DVT after 16yrs post kidney transplant.
Scary tissue.from SITE INJECTIONS (idiots don't seem to know the difference between site injections and synthol.. why would you waste an Injection site with useless oil that goes away quickly?) Couldve constricted bloodflow and caused vascular damage.
But SYNTHOL??? Gtfo

I finally watched Dave's interview with Shawn Ray, Shawn says flex was in the hospital earlier this yr for 3yrs (& in a medically induced coma, no less), while they tried to reroute the vasculature.
Ischemia is painful and a problem. (,Shawn also mentioned a severely atrophied calve at Flex's most recent '17 classic physique comp.. it was his left calve, not the one that was chainsaw'd off, btw). If the dude had extreme pain in that leg, due to vascular insufficiency, for months on end, he knew this would be a possibility, much the way any of us with lower leg issues.
Doesn't seem like he had cellulitis, or compartment syndrome, but an issue with blood supply to the lower limb.
People here should maybe open a pathology textbook.

You dont seem to understand what it means to make an "educated guess", or basing an opinion on experience.
When it comes to comments about flex's situation, you're not qualified.
Yea, because fucking experience and logic aren't wanted.
Typical. Keep on screaming SYNTHOL SYNTHOL SYNTHOL!!! then.
Fuck, the stupidity here still surprises me after 20yrs.
-
Eh, why is everybody saying "synthol" or "diabetes"???
Are people not considering he had DVT? Didn't flex have multiple surgeries with regards to establishing blood flow to his kidney with regards to his kidney replacement surgeries? If I'm not mistaken they had to take veins from his leg and use them in his kidneys. I can absolutely see that leading to vascular damage and decrease blood flow or vascular collapse in his lower legs especially the leg they harvested the thing from.
Do people not pay attention?
I did not know about his issues with his kidneys. You make a good point, most likely none of us know why his leg was amputated and we won't ever unless a legit statement is released. I also did not know that DVT could cause tissue death and gangrene.
-
My calm statement:
Your erratic, overly emotional rants:
Yea, really erratic.
Maybe Google the term of "ad hominem" maybe you'll understand yourself.
People, clueless, ignorant people, like you, keep telling "synthol,!!", Without an knowledge of how synthol works, much less how much anabolics pros inject each week.

It was the dangerous doctors. He needs an ambulance 'chaser' attorney. Then he would be able to secure a happy retirement fund.

Shawn Ray claims Flex health went downhill after he competed a couple of years ago.
-
-
I finally watched Dave's interview with Shawn Ray, Shawn says flex was in the hospital earlier this yr for 3yrs (& in a medically induced coma, no less), while they tried to reroute the vasculature.
Ischemia is painful and a problem. (,Shawn also mentioned a severely atrophied calve at Flex's most recent '17 classic physique comp.. it was his left calve, not the one that was chainsaw'd off, btw). If the dude had extreme pain in that leg, due to vascular insufficiency, for months on end, he knew this would be a possibility, much the way any of us with lower leg issues.
Doesn't seem like he had cellulitis, or compartment syndrome, but an issue with blood supply to the lower limb.
People here should maybe open a pathology textbook.
Can you recommend any pathology text books?
-
Maybe after his leg heals up e will make a comeback, like Franco did after he fucked up his leg. ???

You got destroyed and humiliated last time in almost every thread under your old username, and then banned as well because even the mods thought you were scum.
I will enjoy seeing you meltdown, get exposed and get destroyed all over again.
:D
I see The Daisy Chain Boys are Triggerd 🤣😂🤣
Oh I’m being “Trolled” am I - Ooohhh Scary Business that must be.
Maybe Vaselino & ArseBurn will Show us Just What great Physique’s
They Have Just To “Troll” Me & Humilate My Terrible Body.
Or Perhaps ask Shawn Ray to do that for Them.
Even Though they’re Both Complete & utter Fagggotts
Thank you For Your Continued Following & Support.
👍🏻🤣😂

In the last palumbo rx muscle video, shawn clearly says Flex had calf implants, and he states he had a beef with Flex because of it, early in his career.

Oh. Now we are faggoooots.
We have a guy that competes but wants to remains in silence".
What kind of show was that? Gibraltar Fair Ground Classic? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You are right, someone that speaks 'Arse' should NEVER be taking serious.

I think, Lad, before you compare yourself to Shawn, maybe should you win a National show first.
The Guy is Top 2 Olympia, in case you forgot. What was the contest you won? LOL
Since youre obsessed with faggotry, would you beat Duffy on his prime? NO
Maybe you should start working on the gay adult business, before you compete with anyone that did porn and actually WON shows LOOOL

Lou had actual saline filled, enrobed implants.
Flex had his calves shot full of early "Synthol" and Escquiline.
The end.

I had an image of how they looked in my mind
And it Fitted Exactly that pic With them balloons inserted in his lower legs
They were just farcical.

His left calf looked much different/atrophied compared to his right, a bit like Dennis Wolf's. Was this the leg that had the issues?

It's a shame what he did to his body. He had a perfect physique in the 90's and screwed it all up with synthol injections and implants.

Absolutely. Standard saline filled implants. Never looked real. His calves were always OK. It was a strange decision on his part.

Palumbo,Romano and lee priest won't mention Getbig on social media as they feel they'll be making a huge favor to a bunch of 50 year old haters drug abusers keyboard warriors" that never made it to the "Social media influencers status" like they have ....lol the irony is that Romano and Priest are lurking daily here Palumbo as well .... when they are doing their "IG live " Getbig pops often they will ALWAYS ignore the questions coming from us .....
In fact , the other day When Palumbo had his shirt off on RX muscle for the massage clip, he did mention to Lee Priest he was trashed on a " BB board" for not being in contest shape and how he doesnt give a shit " Once again; the irony .

Back to Flex Wheeler ... I'm a Getbigger but I am in no way happy with Flex's situation ...
One question for those in the know :
what happens when you go back to Dialysis 14 years after having a kidney donated/transplanted ?
Wouldn't that be more serious than the amputation it self?
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I said years ago that Caprylic acid (Octanoic acid) is a corrosive and has a PH value of 4 and eats away at muscle tissue. They used to put lidocaine in with it but it's not the shot that hurts, it's the breakdown. It was always the next day that you were sore. I know a few guys who look like they lost a body part because of this shit.

Holy shit dude this is real? I just checked Flex's IG account and saw. I thought it was bullshit.

-
Stop talking about the synthol ffs retards. It was the kidney disease.
In this pic of Flex, his calves have atrophied to an extreme degree. It's like it's no longer there. This is not caused by CKD. CKD caused circulation issues and effects the extremities like the lower legs and eyes. It's a long process taking years but you see it developing/decaying before your eyes if not treated. As your lower legs gets deprived of blood and therefore oxygen and nutrients its starts to die. It doesn't shrink but it swells up, starts to break out into pockets of puss-filled sores, and necrosis starts to set in until that part of your leg is dead and has to be amputated.
Again, this takes years if left untreated. Flex got a kidney transplant and he was under the care of a doctor. We won't know for sure until we get more info but it seems like
the calcification theory is more probable.
I work with type two diabetics and see a lot of cases of advance stage necrosis on those whose kidneys have failed and in the second picture, this is what it looks like.
The lady here is actually a White woman and her leg is so rotted you can literally smell the decaying flesh.

I never thought they were talking about getbig when I first heard that mentioned.
I hardly think this site is "like getbig" any more anyway. If this were 2006, the hate would have been incredible.
By 2019 standards, it probably is this site, but that's because we're moving into an age where everybody is a special snowflake. Some of that is good and some of it is insanely bad (because it isn't always about people being more civil, it's often about people shifting their personality problems into being dicks to anybody who they think they can cast as a hater - e.g Rhonda rousey is a transphobic because she doesnt' think a transitioned female should compete with males ::)).
You won't catch me making any hateful comments to the Flex, but I have to say, I've always considered people who have large amounts of synthol in them as people who are making weightlifters in general look like dickheads. Doesn't deserve to lose a leg for it, though.

The right calf looks healthier in that picture. More muscles(but maybe he put some oil in it..). So pretty strange that it's the right one that got amputated.
Let's hope he doesn't have to amputate his arms aswell now then
-

Necrosis is caused by a lack of blood and oxygen to the tissue. It may be triggered by chemicals, cold, trauma, radiation or chronic conditions that impair blood flow. ... Infection can destroy surrounding tissues until they become necrotic, as can trauma like a car accident or fall from a ladder.

He has been dealing with health issues since 1993 the so called " 0 % BF' Arnold Classic win " those diuretics did him well ..... Although he never admitted the heavy drug abuse he was under, since 1989 on/ he did report health issues in 95' and 96' then by early 2000's he was already on dialysis he had 2 health scares regarding kidney transplant ...shortly after against all medical advices he went back to competition … later he became the ' Natural freak " pushing some kind of new creatine ,his new sneakers etc …. and while at it ; messing once again with oil and who knows what garbage to look 'pumped' then he did a YouTube series Flex at 50's" again ! he started messing with toxic substances ….until Levroneeeee comeback messed him up even further so he announced his own comeback …..
Bottom line since 1989 those are 30 years damaging his organs and he still here with us !!!!! ….. so weird stuff are happening to him now, and I'm afraid the other leg is in danger judging by nail.... he might even die soon …

I don't even know if corrosive is the worst part. The worst it blocks blood from reaching tissue. I also speculate some of it circulates in the blood affecting organs like the kidneys that are trying to filter it out.

From my friend LT, or Lonnie Teper -->
Earlier in the week the news that Flex Wheeler underwent a partial amputation of his right leg dominated all the online gossip. I was hoping to get more specifics before writing about it, but didn't want to wait any longer. In a press release, Wheeler is quoted as saying "My surgery was required due to escalating circulation difficulties in my right leg that had become life threatening. I am resting comfortably now and have begun my rehabilitation."
I saw Wheeler at the Celebration of Life for Franco Columbu on October 6 in Santa Monica, and we exchanged quick hello's. Little did I know--make that little did we know, I would think--what was just ahead for the guy I call the greatest bodybuilder ever not to win the Mr.Olympia title. According to a press release sent out by Wheeler, the former USA champion, and four-time Arnold Classic winner, was suffering from a collapsed vein which necessitated emergency surgery last week in Las Vegas, where Wheeler has resided for the past three years or so.
Of course, this provided wonderful fodder for many online cynics who came up with their version of why this happened. Some of the comments were nasty as hell...but not unexpected, particularly from certain sites. You won't get that from me...there are a variety of reasons somebody could have circulation problems; shoot, I was just told this morning by my Dermatologist what I thought was reaction to medication was more likely circulation issues. So, let the man rest, concentrate on his rehab, and give us occasional updates on how his recovery is coming along. This is a very trying time for the 54-year-old, and he needs all the support he can get. Hope you are doing well, Flex Wheeler.
Good description of what led to this .....
From Keith Klein --> Hey Lonnie, if you go to my home page you can watch the video, he explains what’s going on. In order to do his kidney transplant they had to remove a bit of length of a vein in his leg. Apparently over time that vein has deteriorated which in turn caused this latest surgery. The guys been on a very rough road with his health and we are all praying for him.

The black toenail looks like old nail polish. You can see a white band under it indicating fresh toenail growth.
If you stub you toe hard enough to kill the toenail, it might turn black and grow back translucent like healthy nails.
Here are six causes of black toenails.
1. Repetitive trauma
When a person wears poorly-fitting shoes, they may be at risk of developing black toenails due to repetitive trauma.
Long-term pressure on the toes from poorly-fitting shoes can cause a range of problems, from small blisters to bloody blisters under the nail.
In mild cases, the black toenail will grow out naturally over time without treatment. In severe cases, such as when the nail begins to detach from the nail bed, a person should seek medical treatment.
2. Blunt force
In some cases, the trauma may be a one-time blunt-force injury, for example, if a person drops a heavy object on their foot or toes. When this happens, blood vessels in the nail bed break, causing blood to pool there.
The injured toe will start to hurt and pool blood beneath the skin almost immediately. The buildup of blood will cause the toe to feel painful and swollen. A doctor can treat this condition by draining the blood with a pinprick.
3. Fungal infections
Fungal infections are another common problem that can cause black toenails to form. Typically, a fungal infection causes a white or yellowish discoloration. However, debris can build up near the infection, causing the nail to appear black.
Toenails are particularly susceptible to fungal infections, as socks and shoes can provide a warm and moist breeding ground for a fungus to become established. Fungal infections can usually be prevented with proper foot care.
4. Melanoma
In rare cases, a black toenail may be caused by melanoma. Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer.
Melanoma causes the skin to develop one or more patches of dark, irregular-looking skin. In some cases, the patch of darkening skin grows beneath the nail bed.
Melanoma develops slowly, and without other symptoms, so it is often not noticed in the early stages, especially if it originates under the toenail.
5. Pigmentation changes
People's skin tones can naturally change over time. For people with darker skin, a dark patch may develop beneath the toenails.
Pigmentation changes are usually uniform, so if it affects a toe on one foot, it will usually affect the matching toe on the other foot. The fingernails may develop darker patches beneath them as well.
6. Underlying conditions
There are a few medical conditions that may cause black toenails, including:
diabetes
kidney disease
heart disease
anemia
In most cases, controlling the underlying condition will help the nail to regain its original color.

One of them a Princess, so its jealousy on my part, for sure LOL
For the average Getbigger is not a 'Princess', she being really short and little chubby, but.. you know lol

All of them about to be lopped off

maybe you should mention that is 1 year old now...
What I meant to post.
He talks about the leg stuff here 4:44 That has to be why they had to chop his leg off.
-

I'm not trying to make light or claim that he had both removed, only that a single black toenail is probably not nail polish. Nails tell a lot about circulation.

alright makes sense now
it was caused by taking a vein from his leg to do his kidney transplant.

Positive Facebook post from Dan, about Flex Wheeler - nice to see
From Dan Solomon, Chief Olympia Officer at American Media, Inc. for Mr. Olympia
"I spent the morning here in Las Vegas, along with Bob Cicherillo, visiting with Flex Wheeler in his room at an area medical facility. As most of you know by now, Flex had a portion of his leg amputated a few inches below his left knee. I’ve always felt a connection with Flex so it felt good to see him. His life hasn’t been easy....and now he finds himself in an incredibly difficult situation. Our conversation was filled with love, tears, and even a few laughs. Flex is regarded as one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time, but he’s so much more than that. He’s remarkably intelligent and his capacity to overcome adversity is what makes him one of the strongest men I’ve ever known. Flex is in a lot of pain, surrounded by the love of family, fighting to recover from a highly complicated set of circumstances. His hope is to use this platform to inspire others who need it. As we left the hospital we shared a moment, told him we love him, and reminded him that there are men, women and children around the world cheering him on. It won’t be easy, but Flex will continue to fight. And soon, he will impact the world in a way he never imagined possible"

That's a nice story but wasn't his RIGHT leg the one amputated?
-
Has both, or one leg been amputated?
-
Poor guy at least he got to compete one more time, and was an all time great bodybuilder. Now he can relax and move on to other bigger things. Wish him a speedy recovery.
-
Has both, or one leg been amputated?
One leg. The comment made on this thread that caused confusion was that Flex wouldn't be worrying about painting toe nails on one foot while having the other foot/leg removed. Which makes sense .....

Turning pro leads to an exciting life... briefly. But that life ends in misery. David Dearth died this year. Flex had his leg amputated. Ronnie is almost crippled. Nasser is Dead. Mattarazzo is dead. Craig Titus is in prison. Don Long is in prison. Bertil Fox is in prison. Melvin Anthony was in prison. Yates can’t even train anymore.

Why is Don Long in prison?

What do you mean that Yates can't train anymore? He's healthier now then he's ever been during his bbing years waddling around at 275 lbs. He also has more flexibility and functionality then he's ever had in life. He seems to be very set financially and travels the world and always has some projects going.
A lot of former pros has turned their competitive years into fulfilling and comfortable careers without having to punch a time clock. Jay, Bob Chic, Shawn Ray, Palumbo, John Meadows, Gaspari, Labrada, Branch Warren...

Selling finishing toutches.

I doubt he does bbing anymore but there are videos of him doing various yoga type exercises and he's an avid biker and hiker. Look at him. Guys in his fifties and looks in great shape. Still has some abs showing through and more muscle than the majority of people on this site.

Eh, why is everybody saying "synthol" or "diabetes"???
Are people not considering he had DVT? Didn't flex have multiple surgeries with regards to establishing blood flow to his kidney with regards to his kidney replacement surgeries? If I'm not mistaken they had to take veins from his leg and use them in his kidneys. I can absolutely see that leading to vascular damage and decrease blood flow or vascular collapse in his lower legs especially the leg they harvested the thing from.
Do people not pay attention?
at least someone pays attention.

i think Yates is too tired to lift... at least that's my ASSumption as he's always with that fine lass of his.... wearing him the fuck out.. ;D

This kind of tragedy should happen to no one- truly unfortunate. Hard to speak to, but if one believes in a karma- like effect . . . What could we expect. By ALL accounts “Flex” was as big a prick who fucked everyone over and treated people like pure garbage. Why would an individual given such gifts chose to conduct himself as he consistently had.
Makes one wonder.

Flex was the most conceited guy is ever met when he was "Flex Whéeler". Moreso than Tom Prince or Tevita Assholeale.
... But I've never heard of him "fucking anyone over", unless you're talking about when he got his kidney 15yrs ago and "couldn't work" for a long, long time and even had Shawn begging for him.

Perhaps a poor choice of words - I was in fact referring to his general attitude, threatening violence etc. However, I was watching RX Muscle and Dave and Lee spoke of him coming from a bad area and was a bad guy.
Probably should not have even commented to this end - just always looking inward and measuring against others.

He's from a shithole called Fresno. White trash, hmong/Lao gangster kids, and poor blacks.... And some Norteno Mexican gangsters, and Mexican strawberry pickers.
He was never a "bad guy". More like an insecure kid who likely hasn't been in a fight since he was 7yrs old, much less beat anybody up. Saying he wanted to knock out Shawn Ray and piss on his face in gold's in 98 was a fantasy. Face to face he would've seen Shawn (or heard his voice across the gym... If for some reason Shawn was even in Gold's or Flex was in OC), he likely would've just left. Flex was no Craig Titus.
He lifted some barbells a few times and grew some arms and realized he could put on some muscle quicker and easier than anybody he knew and left "Kenny" behind and adopted the "Flex" persona and his ego grew as quick as his arms and was as real as his delts.

Yeah, Shawn hardly if ever worked out at golds Venice, he stuck to his neck of the woods in OC, Fullerton powerhouse at the time before it turned to golds
Anyone that burns a body in a trunk gets my respect, Craiggers was the real deal, talk the talk, walk the walk :D

I'm pretty sure he can train lightly,not such a big deal. What kind of heavy training do you expect him to do at 57 years old?
And that list of pros should be expanded. Many more dead or cripled.

Yes because killing a woman is 100 times worse than murdering a man.
They are so innocent,honest,poor,kind and unprotected angels. :'(
I say introduce death penalty mandatory for him and his parents.
And if a woman kills a man,no more than 10 years tops....because she suffered enough being born a delicate female.

Just what exactly are you attempting to argue?
Maybe take an online reading comprehension course. I swear youre autistic or at the very least least have Asperger's.
I was referring to when flex said he was going to beat the shit out of Shawn, and said he likely would've avoided it, unlike Craig, who would've likely actually approached Shawn and hit him in the mouth.
... and you start talking about "legacy" and how his "parents must be proud".
Just how many crayons did you eat everyday growing up?
What age did you stop eating crayons?
What was your favorite flavor? Green? Yellow?
Do you still wet the bed?
What was it like riding your tricycle around the block when the other kids were on their new mountain bikes?
Did the teacher let you park it in the classroom?

Craig Titus sold himself to old Las Vegas schmoes. Remember this gem?
Titus would be hanging out at the Springs Plaza on the northeast corner of E. Warm Springs Rd. and Gillespie Street. The schmoes would take him across the street to the southwest corner of the same intersection to what is now Winchell's Bar & Grill. They would parade Titus around inside the bar like he was their prize. Pretty hard not to notice a 240 lb guy with his pants tucked in his cowboy boots being led around by a 60 year old queen. They would go stain the sheets at the Manor Suites on Vegas Blvd. later in the evening.
Saw him in there one night surrounded by a group of homos, with one of the group hanging off him by his belt loop. The next day we were out on a job in Pahrump, NV and about noon we see Titus and this old toucher coming out of the lobby of the Best Western in Pahrump like they had just checked out.
It seemed suspect.

What's up with his left calf (still attached) having atrophied drastically compared to his right calf (now removed)?
Remember too, flex claimed he wasn’t training forearms till closer to the show because they were hyper responsive - this after he got shit for his ridiculous upper arms compared to his tiny forearms. Did he forget to train his forearms or can be call BS on that?
Also, look at how stupid his upper arms look. They are not real and they almost look like implants or something permanent was done to them as they are so totally disproportionate to the rest of his body.

Flex claiming his forearms were hyper responsive , While Levronee was claiming that according Xrays; he had knees of a 22 year old and his legs were going to grow in no time ( both with this level of delusion in their 50's )

Levrone always for years claims “back Problems” is the reason why his legs declined over the years cause he couldn’t do free weight squats

Any donation is a comment of the quality of the individual who donated ( be it $1.00 or 1 Million.) However, just a week or so ago someone was claiming AS(s) had $15 Million - do the math . . . $500 would be the equivalent of pennies to a $45k working individual.

Any donation is a comment of the quality of the individual who donated ( be it $1.00 or 1 Million.) However, just a week or so ago someone was claiming AS(s) had $15 Million - do the math . . . $500 would be the equivalent of pennies to a $45k working individual.

In the UK you wouldnt pay anything for this directly, its paid indirectly via general taxation. In the US if you get a bad illness if can bankrupt you.

Eh, why is everybody saying "synthol" or "diabetes"???
Are people not considering he had DVT? Didn't flex have multiple surgeries with regards to establishing blood flow to his kidney with regards to his kidney replacement surgeries? If I'm not mistaken they had to take veins from his leg and use them in his kidneys. I can absolutely see that leading to vascular damage and decrease blood flow or vascular collapse in his lower legs especially the leg they harvested the thing from.
Do people not pay attention?
I bet that I also have some experience researching DVT and vascular damage in the lower legs as well.
You really think a "bad synthol shot" caused this, 15yrs after he likely did his last calve site injections?
Nevermind harvesting veins from his legs to use in his kidneys. That must have nothing to do with it.
Have you ever even opened a pathology textbook?
Well would you look at that... DVT after all. What ever happened to common sense?
-
Why would you Inject in your neck??
He ran out of other injection locations....or, he was pulling your leg.

Yes, because Walter sobcock is an accurate source of information
From Walter's telling, it seemed like he was there. Question is, what was he doing there? Selling or buying?

If I recall correctly the original synthol crap was pretty much like a lighter version of PMMA. And it was slow to disperse through the body. (if at all). I remember when Shawn Ray accused Flex of getting calf implants, there were magazine articles comparing the before and after photos of Flex's calves and there was a noticeable size difference. There was also a noticeable difference in the AFTER photos that when Flex was trying to flex his calves, not much was happening in that department. Some people have nice hard calves and when they flex, the muscle jumps and splits into a hard diamond shape. It seemed that he simply never flexed his calves at all. The contraction was pretty weak.

Synthol has always been nothing more than an mct oil, sometimes with lidocaine mixxed in. Doesn't matter if it's from 2019, 2009, 2001, or 1996. All the same shit.

Does the oil not eventually move into other parts of the body?
In Asia, there were dodgy clinics that used to inject types of oil to create curves on womens bodies and even as fillers on their face, the oil eventually hardened and parts moved around putting them in permanent pain, sometimes even lodging near a joint.

I remember dealing with the physical therapy idiots after my hip surgery. I'd already been up and out of bed, walking around for a few days (first time was like 2hrs after the first surgery & they flipped out lol)... PT idiots show up asking if I wanna try to get up and walk & I say "sure", & the PT dolts go to put a strap around my chest "in case I fall" lol.
Next interaction with them was 3wks later n they say "you look great! Like you're ready to go!".. eh,? I can't move my leg to put on pants (I tried, in order to sneak out to smoke a cigar lol.. they caught me), or even put on socks/shoes. Wtf am I "ready"? ... And they bring me one of those metal "grabber" things short ppl use to get stuff off high shelves. How TF is this gonna put a sock on my foot? And they give me photocopies of a catalog of garbage.
Physical therapists are the most overpaid "health care" workers in the industry.

I think I could adjust to that...assuming it doesn't put him at a tremendous health risk for dying much younger or something like that. I imagine that if there is anything "good" to lose, it would be a leg below the knee like that.

If he put that $60,000 that he used to purchase a useless car sound system into a simple S&P fund right before the dot com bubble, he would’ve still had about $180,000 which more than exceeds the gofundme goal, but no he REALLY needed that loud music in his Excursion.

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...

When you spend your entire life bodybuilding, and you’re still misspelling a bodybuilding term. Sad! It’s not surprising that he blew $80K on a sound system for his Excursion. He could really use that kind of cash nowadays, huh? I just can’t muster up any sympathy for this guy. Every training segment I’ve seen of his, he trained lazily and always flashed his material possessions. Not a fan of this woe is me shit.

I totally agree! He looked amazing in 1993. Was it oil? I always thought they looked like implants. That must been a ton of oil. I know those delts had oil in them later on in the 90’s as well.

Unfortunately the day after the emergency surgery the stent irrupted.
I wonder if he means a "bypass" that goes from pec to leg?
Stents are usually placed in a section of artery containing a severe blockage/narrowing. Sometimes, they'll place several stents end-to-end to cover a more diffuse area of up to several inches.
Sounds like Flex had a bypass running the length of his torso to deliver blood from (I'm guessing) his axillary/subclavian artery to his leg. Bypass grafts are used in more severe cases to essentially "detour" blood around a problematic area that isn't allowing flow to get through.
I'm not sure what he means by "irrupted." Never heard of anything like that happening to any type of vascular implant, but it's quite possible the graft quickly shut down, which would explain the leg amputation.

Very little oil pre mid 90's, and no implants he was legit...
the oil situation got very bad in late 90's, there were a fair few guys at that time that went overboard with the shit dexters calves, milos, flex etc....
-
It's a pity he had this done, it sounds like a risky procedure.... And near killed him.
Lost the leg anyway. If it was me I think I would have just taken the leg off, it's days were numbered. Now unfortunately he has all this nerve damage upper body aswell.
Hoping this is it for him and he can slowly get things back together to reasonable health.

what a mess - president trump

Either way, this is sad. Between him and Ronnie, flex’s didn’t have the genetics for longevity and durability. As for Ronnie, he trained excessively heavy with injuries not being fully healed.

Damn, a lot of these guys really fucked up their overall health. Coleman, Wheeler, Prince, Matarazzo, McCarver, Munzer, Nasser, Kovacs, Youngblood, these are just some of the names that come to mind when discussing modern day bodybuilders that have practically turned themselves into cripples or have simply died, likely by consequences of steroid use, drug abuse and physically destroying their bodies via bad workout practices.

I wonder if the switch from primarily oral cycles to primarily injection based (+ synthol/mega hgh + insulin, but the main factor being injecting all this shit in vs ingesting orals) is the difference between golden era dudes' health vs the 90s on era.
back in the day, if they were primarily taking dbol + winstrol etc, the liver would get fucked (but it is durable, and this would not be worse than an alcoholic) and cholestrol etc would mess up, but true heart problems take a very long time before they show up.
however, 90s onwards: If you're pumping in 9 ccs+ a day of oil, your body has to work hard clearing all that shit out. the effects of insulin are clear, but god knows how bad long term hgh abuse is for you.
I think orals get a bad rep. "Health guys" always claim they're dangerous while pumping in multiple ccs of home brewed shit into their body.

Levrone did no where near the amount of gear that Flex, Markus and Ronnie did. Not even close. In his later prime years, Kevin would shrink down to around 210-215 offseason. He wouldn't even touch weights. When it came time to ramp it up 12 weeks out from the Olympia, he would grow in a hurry. It's like his body would absorb the atmosphere of hardcore lifting. Crazy genetics and receptors.

PROBABLY best for him and thats why he was so good for long time,wheeler is naturally skinny and needed to be blown up all the time to look big and wvwn with all the oil he used he still was smaller than kev.

That’s why I never understood why many people say flex wheeler was the best of all time. No, he had a few really good showings, but in ways, overrated
He had no longevity, oil in arms, shoulders, only looked his best around 218, when he tried adding weight, his whole physique was ruined

Agreed. His 1993 Arnold form was his peak in my opinion.

When did Flex come in too heavy and look bad? I can't remember him ever being much over 225-lb, if that.

He pushed his weight into the mid 230's when he finished 2nd to Ronnie in the Olympia in '98 and '99.

Poor guy. I remember idolizing him as a child. He had that arrogant pro football aura to him and his physique was like a sculpture. He also had all those whips and mansions ( now i know he was living beyond his means but back then it made me want to bodybuild.) Looking at it now I feel bad for him but its the result of addiction, wrecklessness, and not planning for the future.
Hope he recovers and gets to live a long happy life.

He was all arms and delts by 98 to 01,,he had no torso thickness by then ,,93 to 97 Best looksI guess 98 too but he was soft in back ,,ronnie killed him
-
Flex was naturally a true ecto with elite response and muscle shape/structure, his wrists were very small for 5’10 man, a long with joints, creating an illusion of more weight than he really was
When he started to gain weight and shoot up his arms and shoulders, he went dan downhill quickly a long with his health
-

He still had his back... His last Arnold win his back was probably at its all time best...
But generally agree by 99 he was finished and had pushed for mass too hard and ruined his look with heaps of oil.

flex got LevrOWNED

I wonder if he means a "bypass" that goes from pec to leg?
Stents are usually placed in a section of artery containing a severe blockage/narrowing. Sometimes, they'll place several stents end-to-end to cover a more diffuse area of up to several inches.
Sounds like Flex had a bypass running the length of his torso to deliver blood from (I'm guessing) his axillary/subclavian artery to his leg. Bypass grafts are used in more severe cases to essentially "detour" blood around a problematic area that isn't allowing flow to get through.
I'm not sure what he means by "irrupted." Never heard of anything like that happening to any type of vascular implant, but it's quite possible the graft quickly shut down, which would explain the leg amputation.
Good explanation! Perhaps he had an Axillary to Femoral or even lower bypass. Maybe it closed, maybe he developed an anastomotic pseudo aneurysm?
Lots of things are possible, Ken being able to understand and explain is not likely to happen, poor guy.
We will never know the quality of his care, however, his outcome is not optimal to say the least.
-
He lost his leg because they took a vein out of his leg when the did his kidney transplant
Nope
-
He won't travel to Ibiza anytime soon, to get the girls.
-
Nope
DVT
-
What the fuck?? This guy is a mess. :-X
I seriously don’t want to know what’s next for him.
-
DVT
Google Phlegmasia cerulea dolens, maybe he suffered from that.
Basically, poor guy had less than the best of care.
As far as taking a vein out of his leg for the transplant, perhaps they used a short segment of a superficial vein for the graft. They may have used a synthetic conduit.
There are several possibilities regarding a possible DVT, however, aside from the above mentioned Phlegmasia the likely cause of his dead leg was on the arterial side of things.

Flex looks better than Levrone in that comparison. Levrone looks stocky with a wider mid section. Levrone was good but 93 Flex was better than Levrone at his best. Just my opinion.

the judges agreed with me, at least that is what people say to me when i disagree with the results :)
flex looks weak next to Mr. Levrone, who looks strong and powerful yet still aesthetic
93 flex might be the most overrated body of all time, way too small and skinny with those baby soft hams and glutes, narrow back, and oversized arms, it was not his best and many bodies including many versions of Mr. Levrone would beat him, i think his best was the 98 ironman

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...
It is such a shame when shit like this happens. I wonder if it isn't worse for folks who have spent a lifetime trying to be fi, muscular or healthy. People who've always looked unhealthy don't visually have a much to lose.
-
When you spend your entire life bodybuilding, and you’re still misspelling a bodybuilding term. Sad! It’s not surprising that he blew $80K on a sound system for his Excursion. He could really use that kind of cash nowadays, huh? I just can’t muster up any sympathy for this guy. Every training segment I’ve seen of his, he trained lazily and always flashed his material possessions. Not a fan of this woe is me shit.
Did he ask you for a loan or for your sympathy?
-

I wondered about the stint being so long too. Not being a medical professional or otherwise having knowledge of these matters, I assumed he knew what he was talking about. It is also possible that you are right and he misunderstood his doctor. Could a bypass have burst or tore causing server internal hemorrhaging? Whatever happened, the poor guy was left in pretty bad shape. Must be tough.

Oftentimes, patients have a whole bunch of information thrown at them at once and/or they have a complex medical history - both instances easily lead to facts being blurred and incorrectly regurgitated.
His post references a vascular surgical implant running from his pec to his leg. There is no arterial stent that would accomplish this; it would have to be a bypass graft. Google ax-fem bypass to see example diagrams.
The only reason to do this procedure is because the leg isn’t receiving adequate blood supply to survive, so they direct/import blood from a healthy part of the body’s vascular system with graft material.

A couple thoughts 8)
Dont ask me why, but I had the misfortune of reading the book about Flex, or the one he wrote...Anyway, the thing that I took away from it was that this was one delusional fuck-
He thought he was an "athlete", with some type of status, when in fact he was an insecure drug addict.
Second, like many guys my age ( 49), I grew up reading about guys like him and Ronnie in magazines, trying to figure out just how the hell someone could look like that.
( I was young an naive, and no internet at the time)
Anyway, if someone told me that I would look better and be more healthy /wealthy than both of them, I would have never believed it.
Its insane how I once had a degree of admiration;instead now I look at them with disgust...
