Hey there, fitness enthusiasts! Flex Lewis, the renowned 7-time 212 Olympia champion, is about to embark on an exciting journey to transform himself as he approaches his 40th birthday.
Flex Lewis recently opened up about how he's neglected his physical goals in the past few months but is now gearing up to take on an incredible challenge - sculpting his physique in just 26 days!
Flex Lewis, who's undoubtedly the most accomplished competitor in the IFBB Pro League's 212 division, is no stranger to setting records. He secured the prestigious 212 Olympia trophy an astounding seven times consecutively from 2012 to 2018, a feat that may well stand the test of time for decades to come.
Fans have always been eager to see Flex Lewis compete against the Open division, but he gracefully retired while the buzz about his potential return was at its peak. However, he's far from taking it easy. Lewis continues to push his limits, consistently working to get stronger and bigger.
But there's a twist - there's no competitive interest, at least for now. After his retirement, Flex Lewis has delved into several successful business ventures, establishing a unique place for himself within the industry, separate from the competitive arena.
Flex Lewis is actively involved in the bodybuilding world through various channels. With a strong presence on social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube, the 39-year-old regularly collaborates with other industry luminaries to create captivating content. He's also a prominent voice in the world of bodybuilding, offering insightful analysis of current developments in the sport. What's more, Flex Lewis is the proud owner of the renowned Dragon's Lair gym.
While it might seem like everything is going swimmingly for the former champion, his numerous ventures have undoubtedly taken a toll on his fitness routine.
Now, the exciting part - Flex Lewis is ready to reveal his grand plan for his 40th birthday.
Flex Lewis has had his sights set on this transformation goal for a while, but he acknowledges that he veered off course at some point. In a recent Instagram video, he reaffirmed that his 40th birthday on November 15, 2023, is still the target date for this remarkable transformation. In this candid video, he shared some of the recent challenges he's faced in maintaining his fitness journey.
The 39-year-old admitted that other commitments, such as family, business ventures, and social obligations, have occupied a significant portion of his time and mental energy. As a result, this former 7-time 212 Olympia champion has spent less than five days in the gym over the last couple of months.
So, there you have it, Flex Lewis is gearing up for an incredible transformation as he hits the big 4-0, and he's inviting us all to join him on this exciting journey back to peak fitness. Stay tuned for updates and be a part of his inspiring transformation story!
“In fact, I haven’t even stepped foot into the gym. In the last two months probably three times and two of them for YouTube. Shamefully that was my outlet for two decades.”
He added:
“I always eat clean, I always respect the industry and the lifestyle that I live. But having these half-a**ed workouts with no consistency; I was suffering from an outlet. In all truth, as much as I preach about mental health, I let my own take a back seat.”
26 Days to a Brand-New Flex Lewis: The Countdown Begins!
With a newfound sense of purpose, Flex Lewis is on a mission to break boundaries and unveil a remarkable transformation of himself that will be nothing short of remarkable
“I’ve set myself a challenge; 26 days, I want to become the best version of me.”
When it comes to reaching fitness milestones, teamwork makes the dream work. Flex Lewis is excited to reveal his dynamic partnership with Neel Hill, as they craft an action plan to conquer his 40th birthday aspirations. Now, we all know that diet plays a pivotal role in any physical transformation journey, and Flex Lewis is thrilled to share that his revamped diet will draw inspiration from his tried-and-true nutrition regimen that's served him well for years.
“I eat the same sh** over, and over and over again. Four meals a day, very little carbohydrates. As you can see from the starting point, this has only come from cardio. I haven’t missed a single day of cardio in the last several months.”
Even as Flex Lewis embarks on his transformation quest, he candidly admits that his mental well-being took a significant hit during this period. Why? There simply wasn't enough time dedicated to addressing the mental struggles and inner demons that haunted him.
The 'Irish Dragon' Offers a Warning to Those Suspecting PEDs
It's no secret that performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) have a presence in the world of competitive bodybuilding. However, Flex Lewis has consistently voiced his concerns about the excessive use of PEDs for rapid growth. Realizing that some in the fitness community might speculate about the role of steroids in his transformation, the 7-time 212 Olympia champion has a message:
“I lived the life, I had to make the weight cap and I never went the excessive route… And that’s one of the reasons why I have been able to hold on to the muscle as I have done for all these years.”
He added:
“So, spare me the f* excuse. I’ll save my money in the pocket while you guys moan around in the comments section about what I’m doing and what I’m not doing. But ultimately, I know what I am doing and it’s just being consistent with my TRT. That’s the f* key.”
Flex Lewis openly acknowledges that neglecting his fitness was a significant mistake. In his own words:
“I’m teaching myself not to go back into all these mental deep holes that I’ve put myself in… That I preach not to be in.”
Flex Lewis: A Beacon of Dedication
When it comes to unwavering commitment, few can hold a candle to Flex Lewis. Becoming a 7-time Olympia champion requires unparalleled discipline. It's this very trait that will guide Lewis on his path to achieving his transformative fitness goals once more.
