“Fattest Ba*tard on the Planet”: Legend Flex Wheeler Had the Most Bizarre Retirement Goal Ever

A retirement plan is something that most people start calculating and planning while working for their future. Bodybuilding legend, Flex Wheeler, did the same. From the time he was at his peak of bodybuilding, Wheeler always had a retirement goal he wanted for himself. But it wasn’t a goal that most bodybuilders dream of, instead, it was interestingly a weird ambition. While speaking with Muscle And Health in an interview, Flex Wheeler opened up about his bizarre retirement goal.

What was it? As it has been a long time since he retired, has he achieved that goal? Let’s find out.

Flex Wheeler controlled enough to burst through after his retirement

Flex Wheeler, A.K.A., Sultan of Symmetry, is one of those rare bodybuilders who had the best aesthetic physiques in the world but never won a Mr. Olympia title. However, he has won the second most prestigious bodybuilding title, Arnold Classic, four times. While talking with Muscle And Health, the Sultan of Symmetry revealed what was his retirement goal, and why? Wheeler said, “I used to say: ‘When I retire, I’m gonna be the fattest b***ard on the planet,’ because there were so many foods I wanted to eat. I’ve found the right balance. I’m just going to the gym to move around and prevent muscle wastage as I get older.”

After years of hard training and sacrificing his favorite foods, Wheeler visioned his retirement to be full of those foods that he omitted because of maintaining his glorious physique.

Although Wheeler visioned his retirement as living as a fat man, he didn’t get success in it. He still looks pretty tough and in shape to ace as a bodybuilder. What changed everything? Let’s find out.

The Sultan of Symmetry successfully failed in his retirement goal 

Flex Wheeler is one of the best bodybuilders to have competed in bodybuilding. However, his kidney disease has always been a block in his path to success. Moreover, it was even the reason he had to retire in 2003. Wheeler has been fighting this disease from his teens to this day. In 2019, he even had to go through unbearable nerve-racking pain as he lost his leg. And even now, he takes medications to stay healthier and has already gone through a lot.

Recently, while talking with Shawn Ray, Wheeler revealed that his retirement goal went true for some time, as he couldn’t even tie his shoelaces, as his stomach wouldn’t allow so. However, it didn’t stay like that for long, and Wheeler has been a fit person since then. Although the kidney dysfunction took his career to an end sooner, it has also encouraged him to stay fit, even after his retirement. Furthermore, now he is coaching athletes and other people to attain a better fitness level.

Even though he desired to be ‘fattest’ after his retirement, he couldn’t leave the path of being fit. What do you think about the bizarre retirement goal Wheeler had for himself? Let us know in the comments section.
