Title: 2018 Olympia - Flex Lewis - This will be my last contest
Post by: Ron on July 03, 2018, 06:55:39 PM
Wow - Glad to have been able to see Flex win his first Olympia, and will also be there at his last Olympia coming up

This is from Flex Lewis' Intagram...


flex_lewis --> So with so much speculation, rumor, I had a sit down with @flex_magazine to answer all questions. The full article is available in the link in the bio and will answer all, and below is something added from the heart❤️

This has been one the hardest decisions, I have EVER had to make and THEN come to terms with, in my entire life. I been called Flex since 6 yrs old been a fan of this sport since I was 12, joined my first gym at 15, stepped on stage at 19 (for the very first time) traveled the world winning titles all over, won my pro card at 23 with a undefeated amateur record. Fast forward and Now at 34, it’s finally time to say this 212lb chapter is over. I will be finishing with my last 212lb show at this years 2018 @mrolympiallc

I won’t lie and say this was easy, I have battled the fact that this will be my last show many times, I went through some very tough times, and being transparent depression, I kept this all to myself, never let a sole in, I suffered massive highs and very low lows, still trying to comprehend last years loss of Dallas and then make this decision the beginning of this year- after months of battling this whilst, still acting walking talking all around the world as a Champion, I can now say I am VERY at peace with my decision. Without my family, my team, coach and certain people, I wouldn’t be were I am today!

At one point I was very lost on direction, but I know in my heart this is the best for me, my family and the evolution of what and where I go next. I love this sport and I love being the humble, driven, blue color, peoples Champion, I know I will give that fan at the end the same energy as the one at the front, why as I love it! I fucking love all you guys, that’s not cliche it’s the truth, I’ve been given the opportunity by the IFBB pro league to take this sport all over the world and I have, from mainstream tv to things in countries unseen. We grown this 212lb class to where it is. You have no idea what you have given me, it’s ever lasting is why this year is for YOU the fans. I can’t wait to see you ALL in September where I will be there to defend my title one last time!

Something "congenital" this way comes?
Actually I think his physique is superior to the Philsbury Schmoeboy.

Nice guy. Now will he downsize after retirement or continue walking around looking big and still carrying pro size?

Hahaha. He’s bullshitting. These fuckers can never quit.


He said he’s done at 212. I bet he goes to the open.

I met him before he was a pro and guestposed at a show I was covering. His quads freaked me out already then. He was only 21 I believe. He has already done so much for the sport so I can see why he wants to move on after this O. I hope he goess out as a winner.

He's going to the open, he and his trainer already talked about it. They say he looks insane at 225-230 and has to deplete and kill his physique to make 212.

Feel bad for him. He's going have to get a job now instead of hanging out and training.

Clue me in then. He has a business or a job? Then I take it back and say I am clueless. In this case.  ;D

Where did I mention steroids with Flex? What kind of non sequitur are you using? I just said he is going to have to get a job now that his bodybuilding career is coming to a close. I'm sure the endorsement for supplements and appearances will dry up.

You're automatically assuming that every pro bodybuilder has no job/income, other than price money from shows and sponsorships, which is utter BS since only a couple of guys earn 100% of their money that way.
