Flex Wheeler's Workout Routine and Diet

Although he never won Mr. Olympia, Kenneth "Flex" Wheeler is probably the greatest bodybuilder that didn't win a Sandow trophy. He is very famous for having one of the most aesthetically pleasing physiques even seen on Bodybuilding contests. He won Arnold Classic four times, still, he never succeeded to win Mr. Olympia title. 

In one interview Ronnie Coleman said that Flex Wheeler was the best bodybuilder he ever competed against. He had it all, muscle mass size, definition and proportion. He was even called "Sultan of Symmetry", but Mr. Olympia judges have always been more impressed with muscle size than with body proportion. In another case, Kenneth Flex Wheeler might have been Mr. Olympia title holder. 

DIET:

Flex Wheeler's off-season weight was 265-275 lbs (120-125 kg). Check out his diet plan that he followed 8 weeks before a contest:

Meal 1: 12 egg whites

Meal 2: Protein Shake

Meal 3: 12 ounces of chicken breasts, green salad

Meal 4: 2 cans of tuna

Meal 5: 12 ounces of chicken breasts, green salad



When Flex Wheeler won the 1993 Arnold Classic contest, many bodybuilding fans said that they had never seen a back and deltoids like his before. Those are the two body parts that put Flex above the others.
