During his 30 years of career, Flex Wheeler has achieved many things, but he also lost much more. He has been to hospitals several times, over several months. Yet, he made sure of one thing – to never give up. Wheeler sustained over 40 surgeries, met with a terrible accident, got a leg amputation, and faced death. Defeating the ultimate truth of life is never easy, but the 4-time Arnold Classic champ did that too.
