    Training to be the best he can be at 51 with one kidney. Levrone doesn't know what he started.

    Concerned about that, but Wheeler should know better than anyone what his limits are.

    He said he'd take more pics at the Olympia, right? Or push things back if he's not where he's where he expected. I wonder what he'll look like at his target 7% bf. And he said he's keeping his weight low to reduce the stress on that one kidney. Hope he has a successful transformation.

    Comeback for what? To get in great shape or to actually compete?
    Flex is one of my all -time favorites but with his kidney situation I'd find it hard to believe he'd endure the organ stress to seriously compete. Oh well.. here we go again.

    If he tries to compete he will regret it, there is no way he can use gear with one kidney. Hopefully he's just having some fun and staying natty.

    In the video he calls it a journey and offers a fluid end-point. He said he'd do more pics near the Olympia if he's where he wants to be... think he said a certain weight and, what, around 7% bf. If he doesn't hit his mark he said he'd push the pics back. Or am I wrong there? I'm not watching the video again. Or at least not right now. Watching the Rx Arnold predictions!



    On point Flex, Wheeler has four Arnold Classic titles... 1993, 1997, 1998, and 2000!

    could a comeback for Classic Physique be a possibility? And if so, would that be so bad?

    Too right mate. Its his body......he knows . People here are looking at the downsides. Look at the upsides! Who said he'd be going the "anabolic androgenics" way? No one. Youre working on assumption. The promise it would provide for kidney recipients, that they could go on and be something big rather than constantly worry about whether or not their kidney will fail or not. Go on Flex! Just be smart.

    They should bring back the Masters Olympia for these guys. It would be a great return of a once-interesting division.

    Flex said the Classic division is made for him. I forgot that Flex was tested in 98 for the Myostatin Gene.
