Kenneth Wheeler was born in a poor family in Fresno, California. In his childhood, he suffered from child abuse and suicidal tendencies. He was also dyslexic, so he has to struggle in his school days. But he was good in sports. He had trained in martial arts when he was a teenager and started bodybuilding when he discovered weight training. He always considered himself as “Martial artist first and bodybuilder second.” Despite being a bodybuilder, he is so flexible that he can do a leg split. This him his nickname “Flex”.
