He starts the video by saying, ?First and foremost, shoutout to Mr. Olympia EB the 2023 Physique Mr. Olympia. Now saying that I believe in doing full range when I?m doing any motion, any movement.? After giving a shoutout to Mr. Olympia 2023, who is in the video, Flex continues, ?And I also believe in a cadence. Our body has a rhythm to it, our heartbeat, the way we walk, the way we talk. Same thing with the way I train. I start with a good stretch.?
The 2nd position winner at Mr. Olympia then said, ?I don?t believe in swinging my body, generating force. I believe in full range, once again, all the way down up.? He then pointed out the mistake people make while working out for biceps, ?And a big mistake most people make when they are doing dumbbell curls. Let the one arm come down, fully extend before you bring the other arm up.? This small trick of letting one arm come all the way down before starting on another arm will help, according to the pro. Flex Wheeler is an amazing coach, but even he admitted that coaching is not as easy as it looks.

In an interview with Muscle and Health,?Flex stated the tough part about coaching. He said,??Athletes are not the easiest people to work on because they must be as close to perfection as the naked eye can see.??
Along with that, as the margin of improvement becomes less, the coaching becomes more difficult. He continued,??Coaching someone for the stage is completely different from helping the average soccer mom because when you have someone in front of you who?s aesthetically 80% ?perfect?, it?s pretty hard to improve on that.?
