In one of his recent interviews with bodybuilder Jay Cutler, Wheeler had talked about how impressive Heath’s back was. “When you look at the back of the man, it looks like he has mountains and crevices of the back,” exaggerated Wheeler.

In the past, the two bodybuilders have gone head-to-head against each other. Although they are rivals on stage, Wheeler had admitted that Heath was one of the deserving Olympia winners.
