The name Flex Wheeler is revered in the bodybuilding community. Challenging the adversities of life he had made a unique place in the sport. Kidney disease, a disastrous accident, and depression couldn’t stop the IFBB legend from returning to Mr. Olympia competitions in 2017. Wheeler often shares videos on his Instagram account which keeps his fans well-informed and motivated.

Recently Wheeler shared one such video to his Instagram story which has the power to inspire anyone who wants to train. The video shared is originally posted on the Instagram account Sharpshooter. It shows a man building his own gym equipment from scratch to work out.

A young man’s dedication to work-out has mesmerized Flex Wheeler

An Instagram user, Sharpshooter shared a video of him preparing a dumbbell from scratch. Using cement, sand, gravel stone, iron, and used plastic buckets, the man prepared dumbbells. The struggle is real for the young man as he prepares the mixture of sand, gravel stone, and cement. He later sets it up to dry in a greased plastic bucket with an iron handle.

Awestruck by the man’s dedication to workout even without fancy gym equipment,  Flex shared the video on his account asking “ How bad do you want to train?” The video is a reflection of the young man’s make-hay attitude that keeps him motivated all through.
