Title: Project Flex Lewis - new gym and seminar
Post by: TK on April 18, 2015, 08:31:53 AM

2 days for the low, low price of $5,000 ea. you can learn the biological fact that Flex has one in a few million genes & there is absolutely NOTHING you can do to even slightly resemble his physique in the least bit.  What a F'in bargain!!! ::)

I wouldn't be suprised if he will "off the record" & for another $500 give you a xerox copy of his "secret stack" of supplements you can buy in the Flex Lewis Supplement Warehouse (GNC).

I am all for entrepreneurship, but you have to wonder about the "guys" who sign up for these kinds of camps (Cormier has one too http://www.legendcamps.com/).  Wtf are they really there for?  It is certainly not to get in shape, which anyone can do without these silly camps.  "Schmoe" almost seems too kind a word.  It all reminds me of that John DuPont wrestling camp drama from a few years ago... it was eventually made into the movie Foxcatcher.  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1100089/?ref_=nv_sr_1

One could film it all in a sort of "mocumentary" style and see if it could be pawned off as another midget based "reality" show.  ;D

Make Flex out as a sort of buff little white trash hick and you could sell it  as "The Beverly Shillbilly".

The "kinds" of people who sign up for these camps are the Taylor Hootens of the world looking for some hope.  These people also use idiotic drugs which drive them deeeep into depression & they often times commit suicide as a result.

The teenagers who might actually benefit from whatever "knowledge" can be gleaned at this camp don't have the money to attend.  The guys who really have the money are older and are probably too out of shape to attend.  And if you are already in shape you do not need to attend.  So the guys who sign up are a strange mix of Flex acolytes, fans, and worshipers who want to be in the same room with him to satisfy some weird longing.  Maybe they will get some photos out of it and treasured memories..?  Any way you look at it... it's weird.  :-\

Then again, it is no weirder than everything else around this sport.  Carry on.  ::)

One THE best built dudes I've ever seen in person was this black broke kid w/ no father, no family, no money, no car, no nothing.  A local gym owner was also a high school football coach who noticed him in the gym.  This dude was only like 5'6" but goddam he was freakin' huge & ripped to shit & then some.  I nervously asked him "how'd you get this big".  He said "shit I don't know just doin' what everybody else on the football team was doin".  But he had those 1 in few million genes to explode by just looking at a 5lb dumbbell.  He didn't use any supplements but I'm sure he popped some Dbol if I know the coach which I did. He competed in the junior division of an early  80's Mr USA contest & placed third I think?  He was only like 17yrs old I beleive.  My point is some people win the genetic lottery & end up pro IFBB's after 3yrs of lifting.  Most are like me & never will.  But I still love bodybuilding.

Would you go to one of these camps?  Who exactly do you think they are aimed at?  Out of shape tweens?  Thirtysomethings?  Older?  If you are already in shape you are not the audience for this.  Obviously, it is for fans of Flex, but the very people who would pay to attend a camp like this will turn around and tell you that they are not really fans of pro bodybuilding even though they have a library of muscle videos, magazines, and attend these "camps."  What's that about?  :-\

Their aimed at anyone stupid enough to give them they're (or daddy's) $$.  Its subliminally telling its customers if you give me your $$ you might have a chance at looking like me...when .0001% might at the most.  Men like Flex Lewis or Wheeler (who btw was a helluva lot better than Lewis ever will be) are born.  No different than Michael Jordan, Willie Mays, Tiger Woods, Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Joe DeMaggio, etc.).  Did you ever see any of these men putting on some "camp" in they're prime?  Hell no.

Flex has what I would call size for the sake of ego.  They all have it.  Live by the needle?  Die hooked to the Hemodialysis machine.

True, but that's their choice. Im looking at it from a pure competitive bodybuilding prospective. There's a reason why I never went that far. I just wasn't willing to do what it takes.

I don't really think this is accurate. I  used to  work out at synergy gym when Juan Diesel, Akim Williams and Armando Pena and some other bodybuilding/physique competitors all worked out there.  Despite the fact that it was in the heart of Chelsea, it was probably the least gay gym in the city. No steam room, no cruising, I don't even think there were any openly gay guys working out there regularly at the time.  What did you see?  A few extremely in-shape guys and a gymful of guys who worked out every night for 2 hours who NEVER ended up looking any different.  Losing weight is easy with commitment. Getting "fit" is easy. But actually looking like a bodybuilder, or even a physique guy- is not easy for most people. Even for those who are dedicated.


I know your whole thing is about how bodybuilding is not so secretly gay, but let me ask you something.

Man have been getting the bodybuilder/physique guy look for decades and 99.99% of them did it without attending a muscle camp.  So, there is nothing mysterious about it.  In that sense it is "easy."  It is "hard" if you do not have the discipline to train, eat right, and supplement, but if you do not have those things no seminar/camp is going to give them to you... at any price.

I have never made an association of bikini competitors with lesbianism so I am not sure why you are grasping at that straw. As for the fundamental difference...

Where to start?  :-\

Go to a show, (overwhelming) majority of the audience is male.

The men flex for the crowd of men.

They pump up, for the crowd of men.

They oil up, for a crowd of men.

They wear the tiniest trunks available.

They hike up these tiny trunks, to show off their asses.

You have men going ape shit, when the above happens.

For some reason, the bigger the man, the bigger the cheer.

You ALWAYS have men there who DO NOT EVEN WORK OUT! (wtf do you think they are there for?)

You have guys humping the stage floor, as part of their routines.

You have men doing the splits.

There's pictures of men in tiny daisy dukes, as they lift heavy weights (clearly to satisfy someone's fetish).

Schmoes run the industry (Blekman, Weeda's).

G4P

Gay-4-charity

Gay-4-pleasure

Dude, I could be here all night typing this shit up. Then there's the stuff that BayGM mentions.......

I was once like you. Somethings just seemed odd, but I didn't really think about it. Slowly but surely, my eyes were opened..... :-\

Don't get me wrong, I love bbing (training, lifestyle, discipline). But the comp. side of it, the pageantry (might as well call it what it is) is what it is.
Clearly geared towards gay men.

And no, I have NOTHING against gays (live and let live is my motto), but reality is what it is.

The "lifestyle" videos, the private posing sessions, I could go on and on... And now we have the proliferation of "muscle camps" aimed at whom exactly?  I find it hard to believe that you are too clueless to connect these dots.  ::)

He's making money and building an 'empire' and I say good luck to him. The brain isn't a muscle but it can be made stronger and capable of more just like any muscle so I am glad to see he is using it. I would love to open a gym myself and get into that business so always interesting watching new start ups.

But almost every single one of them has read a physique mag or visited a bodybuilding or fitness website. Every one of them would have taken the opportunity to train with a pro or ask them for training advice, if given the chance. And every single person who has worked out - specifically with the goal of adding significant strength and muscle size- has gone through periods of trial and error.

 And, no, building a competitive level physique is not as "easy" as having discipline. There is a world of differfence between being fit and looking like a bodybuilder or a physique model.

So the guys who sign up are a strange mix of Flex acolytes, fans, and worshipers who want to be in the same room with him to satisfy some weird longing.  Maybe they will get some photos out of it and treasured memories..?  Any way you look at it... it's weird.  


You reposting that six year old quote from gordiano is irrelevant. There's no indication any of that goes on at these camps. Most fans of male bodybuilding are men and a majority of female fitness competitiors' fans are women because their physiques are inspirational and aspirational for their followers. Of course someone who would go to a Flex Lewis seminar would be a Flex Lewis fan. There's a lot of things about pro-bodybuilding that are weird and gay, but seminars don't fall into that category.

It does.  And if that is his gym, I applaud him. He has good people around him and is making choices that will sustain him beyond the short ride that is a pro career.  More young men should have similar foresight.  8)

Its a new way of business....Dana Linn Bailey and Rob do the same thing and expect others.  You put a bunch of weights in a shit warehouse flex space and you run 1 day training camps.  100 people would give you 15k and do it 4 times a week, you have 60k in your pocket for a warehouse that you're renting for maybe 1000 a month.  Plus, you can live there and do other activities including running the gym on a regular basis

So that means 400 people per week in your example (apart from a few that join again), but you can't expect so many visitors/clients on the long run. Only guys like the pope are able to do so, not a pro bodybuilder.

Even DLB and Flex Lewis aren't being that ambitious. Both are only offering training camps once a month.


Man have been getting the bodybuilder/physique guy look for decades and 99.99% of them did it without attending a muscle camp.  So, there is nothing mysterious about it.  In that sense it is "easy."  It is "hard" if you do not have the discipline to train, eat right, and supplement, but if you do not have those things no seminar/camp is going to give them to you... at any price.


These things are really much different than really thorough personal training sessions. I have no interest in attending one, but I also don't need a personal trainer. But there's nothing suspicious to me about the people who do hire them. Apparently, there must be some mystery about getting in shape as so many industries are built around cracking the code. Incidentally, these multi-day camps go for about the cost of 2 or 3 personal training sessions.

You're partly right. But the reason for doing camps in his gym (or any gym) as a new business is to close new members on the back end (no assholes, NO HOMO) and keep them as regular members. We do the same thing. That little fat loss challenge we ran brought us in 45 new members in less than a month. Our strength and conditioning clinics we're running this summer will bring us in additional 50-100 new athletes.

If aesthetics mattered then all would be well with all bodybuilders.

Flex has what I would call size for the sake of ego.  They all have it.  Live by the needle?  Die hooked to the Hemodialysis machine. 

Alas, egos, like the Titanic, are doomed to be sent to the bottom of the sea.

to be fair to him though, he's been training and an avid follower of bodybuilding since about 13 y/o.
was talking to Neil Hill and he said the same, guy just been obsessed about bodybuilding since he first saw Platz and Arnie, used to bunk off school just to train!

guy's more than achieved his dreams, 212 mr O, can place well in the open, every expo has a huge queue of people wanting to meet him, smokin hot wife.
credit to him.

The gym is completely private. It doesn't accept members. The only thing that takes place there are the muscle camps. I don't even think they're making the address available to the public.

Flex has gone beyond what Coach has for a gym and we have gone beyond what Flex has.

We have large banner photos to add so interesting that Flex has done the same thing.

We have a larger area, better lighting and much more equipment. Layout is similar.

Not sure about the large grass area and ropes, etc.

Photos of our gym coming soon.

Even in the 70s I didn't go to any seminars put on by Mentzer, Zane or even Arnold.  It just isn't rocket science and by then I already knew their secret just not the whole laundry list.   ;D

I would rather listen to the three I mentioned than any of today's chumps.  At least they could carry on a conversation about something interesting (versus "intradasting") outside of pick it up, put it down.   Coleman is retarded, Phildo is full of (among other things) himself and Kai is just flat out disgusting and would probably call his little get together a "semenar".

And that's just three of todays former and current pros.  I like Wolf but would not pay to hear him talk about training or anything else for that matter.
