Flex Wheeler Working Out!

Ken 'Flex' Wheeler is a man with a mission. To compete and possibly win the 2002 Mr. Olympia in Las Vegas. Having qualified for the contest by placing 3rd at the 2000 Mr. Olympia, Flex has had his ups and downs in the bodybuilding world. Last year, Flex officially retired from professional bodybuilding, whereas Flex had realized that his family, and his faith were more important. But in February, Flex realized that he misses the sport, and wanted back. He signed a sponsorship contract with Iron-Tek (Biochem), and started to train again. With Flex feeling that his family and faith and himself were in focus, bodybuilding could come back into his life. 

Flex is serious at this too. Working out with his training partner Rico, with 165 pound dumbbells in each hand, with 3  months to go, Flex is training quite hard in getting to that Olympia shape that can win him the Sandow. Flex knows that he needs to do it his way, and not to come in too heavy, like in the past. 

Flex also does not want any more negatives in his life. He questions the people who call themselves fans who continuously attack him and question his commitments. Are these people fans or just people who like to stir up trouble. Do they really care about Flex or just want him to be hurt with many comments that they make? 
Regarding the drugs in bodybuilding, and Flex's comments when he retired not to take anymore anabolic steroids, some have insinuated that it looks like Flex is on the juice again, violating his Christian beliefs? To all those, Flex responds that he does not have to answer to anyone but God on judgment day, and to be patient, Flex may have a surprise for all of you in October. Don't doubt Flex now. Just give him respect. 

Flex definitely is a changed man. Whereas some people constituted Flex has being quiet and arrogant in the past, Flex feels much better this year than any other, and has been more open to his fans and to friends. He goes to church regularly on Sundays, and on June 28, 2002, celebrated his 5 year anniversary to his beautiful wife Madeline. 
Everyone has his or her own style of training. Flex, while working out on cardio is quiet, and keeps to himself, while Rico, his training partner, likes to talk and make jokes. Same goes with training out on weights. Flex is quiet and is in focus at all times, while Rico is serious when actually training, but likes to joke around while its Flex's turn. Different styles of training, but together, Rico and Flex make a good team. 

We can't wait to see Flex on stage at the Olympia, for Flex is doing this one for himself, and will be at the optimal weight, conditioning and symmetry which he feels will stun the judges.
