"Unforgettable" - Flex Wheeler lauds Ronnie Coleman's major throwback picture

Ronnie Coleman has etched his name in the history of bodybuilding. He has won the Mr. Olympia competition a record eight times. While winning Mr. OIympia is the dream of every professional bodybuilder, Ronnie winning it eight times is a huge achievement.

It would take several years for any professional bodybuilder to overtake Coleman's feat. The only other bodybuilder to win eight Mr. Olympia titles is Lee Haney. Someone who has come close to Ronnie Coleman and Lee Haney's achievements in recent years is Phil Heath. Phil Heath won seven Mr. Olympia titles. Another legendary bodybuilder, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has also won seven Mr. Olympia titles.

But Arnold competed before Ronnie entered the fray, so when Arnold won seven Mr. Olympia titles, it was a record at the time. Flex Wheeler also competed during Ronnie Coleman's era. Despite not winning the Mr. Olympia, Flex is considered one of the best bodybuilders to have ever competed in the sport of bodybuilding.

He provided tough competition for Ronnie in whichever competition they faced off against each other. In a recent post on Instagram, the eight-time Mr. Olympia title winner posted a photo of himself during his days as a professional bodybuilder with the following caption,

"Front Shot or Back Shot? Comment Below 💪🏿👑 Yeah Buddy"

Reacting to Ronnie's photo, Flex Wheeler wrote,

"Unforgettable 🔥"

Flex claimed that the front and back shots posted by Ronnie Coleman were unforgettable. The photos might have been from the time that Flex and Ronnie competed in the same competition, but we are not sure about the year of the photo. Wheeler's comments alone have gained more than 120 likes.
