The 212 Olympia had the best physiques in the planet! Huge, ripped, grainy and vascular. Without the guts. The kind of guys that make the ladies' panties drop.
You realize the guys who compete in that category would give their left nut to be in the real Olympia, right? Why do you think Flex is leaving the 212 and trying his hardest to pack on an extra 10lbs onto his vertically-challenged midget body to scrub the shame of being in a Jr show for manlets and compete with real men that aren't shorter than most women?These guys take as many drugs as the Ramys and Heaths of the Olympia. They're just too fucking small to compete against them. How is that an ideal physique? Look at what Lee did to his face and body because he just can't accept how small he is.
Flex is leaving for the open class because he already has to sacrifice 10-15 lbs. of lean muscle to make the 212 lb. weight limit. He is contest-ready at 225-230 lbs.
Would love if flex became full size mr. Olympia.
Those guys are legit midgets. It's shocking how short they are when you see them in person. I rode an elevator once with Flex Lewis. He's so short I could have rested my balls on his head and I'm a whopping 5'10".
