Dude, your face when he says what his blood pressure was. You don't often see people so shocked. It takes you a good few seconds just to process those numbers.
@@nick182011 probably because English is their 2nd or 3rd language. People post here all from all over the world. The next question you will be asked by the op is how many languages do you speak as the ability to speak in multiple languages is usually indicative of a higher IQ.
What I love the most about this interview, is the two guys never once butted in when Flex was talking, very rare these these days, most interviewers love the sound of there own voice.
@@thehomefront1905 yoh it's really crazy the dark staff going on in the BB Industry let him come clean on what really messed up his body because these substances are on the market for the public to use caz honestly is it worth it to cost you an arm and a leg plus kidneys 🙄😭🤔No no no!!
@@victorrubahimbya1124 Yes bodybuilders seem to be more extreme in the need to succeed than in other sports, you have to question a bodybuilders state of mind, they might be a lot weaker than they look.
Agreed. I can’t imagine what it would be like to go through that. No one deserves to go through that. He seems a lot happier at the end of the interview so I’m glad he found his peace.
It's interesting, Flex says he doesn't care what he looks like anymore, but he actually looks fantastic. He obviously doesn't look like a pro bodybuilder right now, but he's a great looking guy, face looks fantastic, in excellent shape etc. and he's in his 50s.
The ROIDER'S plan book: 1. HIDE the STEROID use. Don't ever bring up STEROIDS. LIE & DENY their use when asked. If that doesn't work, go to plan 2. 2. DOWNPLAY STEROIDS. Tell people STEROIDS doesn't do anything. If that doesn't work, go to plan 3. 3. COMPARE STEROIDS to other UNHEALTHY things ie. ALCOHOL, CIGARETTES, ETC... "Try" and JUSTIFY using them. If that doesn't work, go to plan 4. 4. Call them names & CURSE at them. Even if you admit to using STEROIDS, you still have FAKE muscles and FAKE strength!!! Stay natural buddy!
my respect for flex just multiplied ten fold. Bodybuilders were never legends in my book, but this man's rollercoaster life and still being on top of things, makes him a legend. He should write an autobiography.
This guy changed a lot from the first time I met him in the 90' and for the better. He has gone through hell and finally found himself. I can relate to him, and I truly admire his strength and determination. I whish you all the best Flex, we all love you.
Mark, this interview was outstanding. Props to Flex for sharing his story, and for finding peace and moving forward. Also, great job of just letting the story develop as Flex was telling it. Prayers lifted for Flex that he continue on his journey of happiness and transparence, because he will make a huge difference in the lives of other amputees.
Boyfriend sent me this because I've been in and out of depression my whole life and had a bad breakdown just today. Clinical depression isn't "cured" with a snap of the fingers but I have to say that this man's story and the comments below are giving me valuable perspective on gratitude and life.
You got a great support system, happy to see that. We all have ups and downs, we know we want to “snap” out of it but just can’t. This isn’t a cheesy plug, you will get a ton of more value out of our most recent Saturday School. Our host Mark Bell is sharing how he is getting through the death of his mother. Well, the two most recent episodes talk about it, but Saturday School is a recording from the day she died. We think it’ll really help. Hope you find time to check it out, it’s episode 19 “I recorded this the day my mom died”. Wishing you nothing but the best.
I'm all the way from Wales and 43, loved flex growing up. I've had the same sort of childhood as flex which caused depression from my early teens. Had suicidal thought all my life but has got less since become a dad, live life for my children and partner. Flex is so inspiring and really related to this. Thank you.
It's scary that It took all of that time and a ton of Doctors and Hospitals to find out what his problem was. If they would've discovered it in time , he probably wouldn't have lost his leg. What's wrong with our medical system? A lot. It took them almost 15yrs and a ton of Doctors to locate my health issue. Luckily they found it time and I was saved (THANK GOD). Flex, I'm glad that you're still among the living. God be with you Dude.
I've been following flex since the 1990's. He's an inspiration to all and has already been to hell and back a few times. To see him continuing to grow in spirit is priceless.
Flex my heart goes out to you. I remember when you came on the scene and was ALWAYs amazed at your lines, and beautiful presentation. At 54, I’ve been in the game a long time. Two years ago i was diagnosed with Leukemia and treated. In remission now praise God. But I’m familiar with adversity-knee/shoulder surgeries and general wear and tear...coming back now and hoping for a shot at amateur Masters next year-maybe the one at Muscle Beach. As a pharmacist for 31 years and intimately aware of DVTs and treatment I’m shocked this wasn’t diagnosed earlier. Shocked. But God has a plan for you. Beyond what you can accomplish yourself. You’re a strong man my brother, supported still by fans like me. I’ve never commented on a bodybuilding site, so i hope you will be encouraged.
Great interview. Hearing Flex put things into such perspective in an honest way made his life and behavior make sense to me, finally. It's inspiring. Bless him.
As a healthcare professional, and based the brief history provided, I am truly amazed that the DVT was not diagnosed immediately! From the 10-20 seconds detailing the symptoms that presented I would suspect a circulatory issue off the rip. If I heard correctly that this went on for a year Flex is lucky to be alive.
PJ Celeste why do doctors get away with being absolute crap? When a car mechanic cant fix the car, they dont keep getting paid to work on the car. Ive been dealing with chronic issues and every single time i have to explain my symptoms to the doctors. They have so many preconceived notions. Yet a traditional Chinese medicine doctor can almost immediately figure out whats going on with me at fractions of the cost of seeing a doctor.
Best interviewers on the planet, thank both of you guys, for asking a question then allowing person to speak respectfully without interrupting,being patient and listening, much respect to the interviewers that did a tremendous job . Respect to flex 💪🏾 as well. Great job guys
God bless you flex, you finally found your calling bro that makes you feel happy in life. You've been very open about the tough things you've been through out your life. I've been an amputee now for 11 and half years, just like you flex right leg below knee. When you find that mental strength in your mind, no matter what anyone says or looks you see from other people on the streets or where ever you are, that mental mind strength you have got nothing can phase you. Peace and much love from the United Kingdom.
Wow, I'm blown away by this news! I was a HUGE Flex Wheeler fan in his prime, the most striated legs of any bodybuilder ever! Flex Wheeler had those three little teardrop muscles in his quads that I've never seen on any other bodybuilder. In my opinion, Flex Wheeler bested Dorian Yates, Ronnie Coleman, Shawn Ray, Paul Dillet, and others. Flex Wheeler had great genetics, he had a great body ratio, great symmetry, and just a well perfect balanced body, but unfortunately in the 90s, bodybuilding was just who had the most mass, those bodybuilders looked like refrigerators compared to Flex Wheeler on stage. All the best to Flex.
I'm so proud of you, Flex. God bless you my brother. I still have an 8x10 that you sent me back in the 90's. It was signed and free of charge. You have always been a hero of mine and always will be!
Flex Wheeler had the best symmetry in bodybuilding hands down. I met Flex wheeler when I was training back in 1995 with my brother in law World Harris. What a nice guy, very supportive of those who are trying to get where he is. Sad to hear that he lost his leg. One of the toughest competitors I have ever met.
Stay POSITIVE Big Dog ..... I know I speak for Thousands & Thousands when I say we all will have nothing but Positive thoughts for you and your Family ... God Bless You.. A Class Act in EVERY aspect....
I was jogging flex and thinking about what happend to you, i am able to walk, run, ect,ect, but i already realized on a young age that feeling the internal peace and happines is al coming from god, i lost my brother, my parents and that's a lot of of pain everyday, but the more pain is the more love, god gave you the thool to come home, you were allways empty and busy with the suroundings but i am so glad for you, your wife and childeren that you finally came home, if you ever visit holland i will catch you up bro
My name is Michael im from Greenville SC im a 40plus Yr BK ampute i lost my right leg when I was 17 It haven't stopped me yet so I no (keep god first and go on)wish i could be built like that
@patrick rieves Jesus gave His life for your sin. The wages of sin is death. The Chastisement for our peace was upon Jesus. There is a God and you can know Him by His Son and His Name is Jesus Christ. When you know Jesus you know God and see God
Glad flex has listened to the doctor's request to come to the hospital because they've had told him to not go on the plane and he changed his mind and look how many young bodybuilders have passed away lately I'm behind u flex and stay positive 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👍👊
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience,but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy “.Martin Luther King Jr. MayGod continue to bless you and your family Flex.
Holy Cow! That Really Sucks. The constant pain is unbearable. I have nerve pain associated with multiple herniated disks. Can’t Ever escape the agony. God Bless you Flex!
I've had two pulmonary embolism in the last 2 years. I was in the ICU here in Sacramento at the same time that CT Fletcher was getting his heart transplant. Literally the same days. The stuff is no joke
I can relate to being broken and crying... the pain/fatigue is unbearable my new life where I barley function is a fkn waste.. I to love God I stay alive and I don’t end it because of my faith.. life after dramatic injuries most people leave you.. God bless you Flex
Wow. I am in shock. Last time I saw Flex was on bet David podcast a few years ago. Haven't been up to date with the latest news and when I saw the title I thought it was a joke. Listening to what this guy has been through. Speechless
when im listening to screaming loud heavy metal music,i get so inspired,i soak my shirt in sweat...;this video had me so emotional with tears,i needed to change shirts...
Wow. When your life can dramatically change within a blink of an eye. It’s amazing how life could be so good but when your mind is not prepared for the worst it can literally change your life and make you humble yourself because life is not guaranteed. Life will literally break u down if you let it. Things happen to us in life that we just don’t understand why this is happening to me like , Death of a loved one, Marriage, Sicknesses, and Money problems. Everything can so good in your life and all of a sudden you take a test and they tell you that u have 4 months to live and that you have brain cancer. It will be like a Mack truck literally drove over you a thousand times. Life is good take advantage of life don’t let life take advantage of you.
Hes one ov the greastest ever and still is!!! Alot ov people cldnt av gone froo any ov that..brilliant , strong human being..love you flex❤..great video mr bell👍
My heart goes out to flexing his family I meant Flex in the 80s he was at his peak he married his lovely wife whose father was also a promoter Paul love . He's a brave man I'm glad he's going to spread the word to other amputees ❤️❤️
*It was him stopping at Burger King before getting to the hospital for me.😄 Heart goes out to him.. I knew of these greats from back in the day ..him, Ronnie, Jay & many more, when I dated a bodybuilder & used to go to the competitions & seeing these guys I used to call Condominiums!😊 What they go through & all the insane training, insane diet, all the food.. being around that was such an experience! I wish the best for him, hope he's well & understands he's loved & respected. Blessings to him for being a spokesperson for amputees!💖
Flex, Seasons Greetings to you and family. The genesis of your start in bodybuilding is gives hope and inspiration to people around the globe. I've followed your career and was inspired to begin such amazing journey and competed at Venice Beach, CA. I used your routines you were gracious enough to share in bodybuilding magazines. My body type is Mesomorph, same as you. You've been a GREAT ambassador to the sport of Bodybuilding. It changed your life in incredible dimensions beyond what you probably expected and because of your meteoric rise to the pinnacle of this grand sport... you changed lives for the better and spawned a new generation of being fit and feeling good about ourselves and ready to take on the world feeling a sense of deep empowerment... So GOD Bless, brother.... You have admirable "GRIT" and resilience!! Just know there's much much love for you...no matter where you my travel or no matter what path your HEART leads you to... WE LUV YOU FLEX....Keep your authenticity .... Keep doing your THING!!
Love Flex, was lucky to meet him in '99 outside the Fire House Cafe in Venice. His condition is due mostly to the decades of drug use, though, not genetics. Learn from Flex's mistakes, pay attention, and change your ways now! Your body can heal itself if you give it the right amount of nutrients and avoid the chemical slop most people are damaging their health with.
It's a relief to know Flex is alive and making the best of this terrible situation, but in following bodybuilding, I feel that the bigger takeaway is learning how miserable so many of the greatest bodybuilders were at the height of their fame.
Man, this hit right in the feels
All of em...
Dude, your face when he says what his blood pressure was. You don't often see people so shocked. It takes you a good few seconds just to process those numbers.
Type normal, what a shame you haven't learned the English language

What I love the most about this interview, is the two guys never once butted in when Flex was talking, very rare these these days, most interviewers love the sound of there own voice.
We do love our voice, it's just when Flex speaks, you simply must sit back and listen.

One word “resilience “ and the man is a perfect example. Flex, you da man!
My heart goes out to this brother. Love and respect to this brother and his family. Thank you for this amazing interview.
So sorry. Just an awful experience for Mr. Wheeler. I'm glad he's still with us. I hope more can be done to relieve his pain.
Agreed. I can’t imagine what it would be like to go through that. No one deserves to go through that. He seems a lot happier at the end of the interview so I’m glad he found his peace.
Wow. Amazing story. One of my favorite bodybuilders. God bless you Flex.
Ours too. Thanks for stopping by and leaving Flex a comment.
It's interesting, Flex says he doesn't care what he looks like anymore, but he actually looks fantastic. He obviously doesn't look like a pro bodybuilder right now, but he's a great looking guy, face looks fantastic, in excellent shape etc. and he's in his 50s.
Great point. He seems like he's always been his own biggest critic.
His insides are stuffed
I think he's is taking about. When people still want to see a FLEX WHEN HE used to compete
Face? Lol you’re joking right

Amazing physique, amazing man with the strongest will 💪 god bless flex
The absolute strongest 💪
God bless a brave man
It ain't what happens to you, it's how you react to what happens to you. 👊
This man is the true definition of patients and enduring
And and true inspiration
With the will he has nothing can stop him
Holy moley!! Thank you so much for sharing mr wheeler

It happens countless times. They're not perfect and they're down right bad most of the time. That's medicine for you.
I randomly looked up Flex Wheeler this evening and came across this interview. God bless him, man. Wow.
Thanks for checking out this video and yeah man, quite a story. Love Flex Wheeler.

Hi
The most proportioned and aesthetic physique of all time.
Yep
Frank Zane might have been more proportioned. No disrespect to Flex.
Nice to see you so open about your sexuality. Well done :)

I was going to go to sleep, but stayed up for the whole interview. You d be surprised what you have to lose just to be happy with yourself
Mark Bell is very emotional in his interview I myself even shed a tear
Nothing but respect for you Flex.
I've had two pulmonary embolism in the last 2 years. I was in the ICU here in Sacramento at the same time that CT Fletcher was getting his heart transplant. Literally the same days. The stuff is no joke
Hope you are reading this now bro, much love and respect. Hope la vida is treating you good
IVE NEVA HEARD ANYONE TALK LIKE THAT…AN INCREDIBLY HUMBLE MAN
So powerfull words, i never been happy. I just hope that from now on he can be really happy everybody deserve happiness
I can relate to being broken and crying... the pain/fatigue is unbearable my new life where I barley function is a fkn waste.. I to love God I stay alive and I don’t end it because of my faith.. life after dramatic injuries most people leave you.. God bless you Flex
Flex, I get your message, and I greatly appreciate it too. God bless you 🙏 💯

Damn. I’ve been wondering what the story is with this. Flex is such a good dude. Happy to hear the story straight from him.
Lots of respect to Flex!
Wow. I am in shock. Last time I saw Flex was on bet David podcast a few years ago. Haven't been up to date with the latest news and when I saw the title I thought it was a joke. Listening to what this guy has been through. Speechless
I follow flex Wheeler this got me so emotional that he is now happy than when he was rich and famous with a good body. Very deep
Wow, that was deep. God bless you, Flex.
Didn't know this happend to Flex! Stay positive man and hope things get better for you and Big Props to you sir!
Hang in there Mr. Flex we love you bro 🙏🏽💜💪🏾

Magnificent physique I saw you live at a New York city bodybuilding show 😀
Flex is such a good guy, God bless brother, my prayers for you, so sorry this had to happen.
Wow. When your life can dramatically change within a blink of an eye. It’s amazing how life could be so good but when your mind is not prepared for the worst it can literally change your life and make you humble yourself because life is not guaranteed. Life will literally break u down if you let it. Things happen to us in life that we just don’t understand why this is happening to me like , Death of a loved one, Marriage, Sicknesses, and Money problems.

We just had him on our recent Clubhouse conversation and got an update from Flex. Hope you get a chance to check that out.

I've followed your career and was inspired to begin such amazing journey and competed at Venice Beach, CA. I used your routines you were gracious enough to share in bodybuilding magazines. My body type is Mesomorph, same as you. You've been a GREAT ambassador to the sport of Bodybuilding. It changed your life in incredible dimensions beyond what you probably expected and because of your meteoric rise to the pinnacle of this grand sport... you changed lives for the better and spawned a new generation of being fit and feeling good about ourselves and ready to take on the world feeling a sense of deep empowerment... So GOD Bless, brother.... You have admirable "GRIT" and resilience!! Just know there's much much love for you...no matter where you my travel or no matter what path your HEART leads you to... WE LUV YOU FLEX....Keep your authenticity .... Keep doing your THING!!
What a great man. Fantastic talk guys. Really inspiring.
What a true inspiration for us all.
Very powerful... bless you Flex
God bless you flex I Love Ya brother your one of the best of all times you left your mark forever
My heart pours for u Flex. U R Truly One of the Best Ever, Uncrowned Mr. Olympia at least 3 Times Over. Much Respect.!!!!!!.
Love Flex, was lucky to meet him in '99 outside the Fire House Cafe in Venice. His condition is due mostly to the decades of drug use, though, not genetics. Learn from Flex's mistakes, pay attention, and change your ways now! Your body can heal itself if you give it the right amount of nutrients and avoid the chemical slop most people are damaging their health with.
Both he and Ronnie have great spirits despite all the physical adversities they're currently going through.
Wow he’s such an extremely lucky man. Insane how he is still alive.
Flex..a real warrior... stay strong please.
Flex you are my hero... keep going bro..you are one of the greatest.
Prayers are with u ! Saw u once at a contest and u were very cordial to my friend ...
It's a relief to know Flex is alive and making the best of this terrible situation, but in following bodybuilding, I feel that the bigger takeaway is learning how miserable so many of the greatest bodybuilders were at the height of their fame.
Total Respect
Thanks for the video 👍🏻. Was good from the beginning to the end 👍🏻.
Flex you're a true champion 🏆 🥇 🏅 💪
