Roelly Winklaar gives an important life update to his fans

The young bodybuilding star is also a YouTuber creator and often posts his life update on the social media channel. One of his recent videos, “The Beast” had a hurtful update for his fans that left everyone heartbroken, including the bodybuilder.

In the video titled “Shoulder Surgery In Brasil”, Wrinklaar mentioned that he has been suffering from severe shoulder pain for almost a year. Due to this, the bodybuilder had to undergo a five-hour-long surgery, which might also end his bodybuilding career.

In the video posted on YouTube, Winklaar said, “I want to explain to everybody what’s happening with me and hope everybody [doesn’t] ask me things. I hope everybody sees this so they don’t ask me more about what’s happening to me. I don’t train for more than a year. I don’t train anymore. Why? Because I have a shoulder injury that’s going on for two years. Last year it completely stopped. I had to stop because of too much pain”

Although the surgery was successful, Winklaar’s return to bodybuilding is still questionable. However, this has not stopped the bodybuilder from working out other parts of his body and staying in shape. He often posts updates of gym sessions on his social media platforms.
