In the documentary"Last Will & Testament" we get a detailed look at the agonizing struggle that Fletcher and his loved ones had to deal with. As a champion powerlifter, Fletcher was not used to relying on people to carry out his daily activities. Years after his heart transplant, the legend admits he still struggles with the side effects of his medication that he has to take. These cause inflammation and swelling that can occur anywhere on the body.

Despite the side effects, Fletcher continues to inspire thousands of people. He is still brimming with a great passion for fitness and says he can't stay away from the gym. In 2019, Fletcher managed to do 25 push-ups, just one year after his heart surgery!

On his Instagram, Fletcher posted a video so we could see what said swelling looks like. It's truly shocking and inspiring to know how much this legendary powerlifter's appetite for livelihood is still there, even though he almost died a few times...
