“A King Without a Crown”: When Looking Back at Bodybuilding Legend’s Perfectly Symmetrical Physique, Fans Couldn’t Believe He Never Won an Olympia

In the realm of bodybuilding, one name still resonates throughout history as a symbol of perfection. For his incredible physique, he even received a nickname that describes his perfection, the “Sultan of Symmetry.” Wheeler also has shown that he possesses great strength and prowess to handle the hurdles that come across his path.

Despite having gone through over 40 surgeries, he still stands tall with a sheer dedication to maintaining his physique, even in his late 50s. Wheeler has won four Arnold Classic titles but has not ever been able to lay his hands on the much coveted Sandow trophy during his bodybuilding career. Wheeler recently shared a video that triggered some reactions from fans regarding this fact.
