Sometimes, life can throw some crazy stuff at us. This was the case when iconic bodybuilder Flex Wheeler had to have his leg amputated during surgery in November last year. The four-time Arnold Classic champion even explained that he felt like half a man following the procedure.

But it wasn’t very long after, that he was able to hit the gym and push through like the champion that he is. It hasn’t been easy for him and things are definitely challenging. But Wheeler is determined to be able to walk normally again so that he can get back in shape before his 55th birthday on August 23.

He’s also looking forward to traveling the world to continue inspiring people and doing what he’s passionate about.

Wheeler explained that he had some adjustments made to his leg and it has made such a big difference.

“I just never imagined that I’d ever be able to walk again but just the slight adjustments made things so much better. I’ve never been able to walk this far of a distance before because the pain was just so great.”

This is great news for Flex Wheeler and undoubtedly a very joyful experience right now after all that he has gone through recently. If he keeps on this path, it’ll be no time before he’s without pain and getting in his best shape before his birthday in just a few months.
