Flex Lewis in minutes
James "Flex" Lewis was born on 15 November 1983 in Wales
Professional bodybuilder from Wales
He is considered one of the best bodybuilders with a weight of 212 .
He has won the Olympia Class 212 title for seven consecutive years From 2012 to 2018
Flex then decided to participate in the Olympic Open weight class and after a year of rest
An invitation came to him to participate in Olympia 2020 for the open weight, and it was a special invitation from the tournament organizers
But the wind comes with what ships do not desire, as Louis was injured on October 16, 2020
At the time, many said that he feared competition in particular after the return of Phil Heath
And I see that this is baseless, as it was a real Felix injury He did an operation at that time
Lewis' interest in bodybuilding began at the age of twelve, after finding a book about Tom Platz's legs.
He was very impressed with these legs, which no one else had in that classic time, the late seventies and early eighties.
And Arnold Schwarzenegger was a role model for Louis too
Flex began training weightlifting, as a teenager, using plastic weights he found in his father's hut and began secretly using them.
Because his parents forbade him from using it. He did not know his father or mother that their son would be one of the greatest bodybuilders in the future
Every night, he did a squat with a barbell and was old. His strength began to rapidly increase with noticeable changes in his legs
. And he used to do the number a hundred times with that old bar and hide this bar under the bed for fear of being discovered
He started working in the gym for the first time at the age of fifteen where he was trained by a local bodybuilder
named Steve Naylor. A year later, he competed in a bodybuilding competition for the first time and won the Sid Wales Junior Award
Lewis was passionate about rugby and played the sport throughout his high school days. His nickname, Flex, also came from the rugby court where his friends were in awe of his flexibility that allowed him to avoid interference during games
In his first competitive participation, Flex met professional bodybuilder and world class trainer Neil Hill, who advised him to use the Y3T method of training.
Hill helped him design nutritional plans that would qualify him for the Junior British Masters title after just four weeks.
After making a name for himself in Wales, Ed Connors contacted Felix who asked him to come to the United States. At first he was hesitant, but soon Felix learned that if he wanted to achieve his dream and become a professional, he had to go to America.
After that, Flex headed to the United States and trained at "Gold's Gym", and GYM Milos Sarsev
There he trained with coach Milos Sarsev and also Dennis James And in those days he was also training with Dennis Wolf
He was so happy that now he's training with champions he only sees through magazines
Shortly thereafter, Lewis' photos were featured in the most popular sports magazines, and this was a dream come true. in 2006
He was then offered a contract to sign with Weider Publications. Flex signed a lot of contracts after that with a lot of companies Sports magazines and systems
He was also training with the late Dallas McCarver, and Flex knew that he used to work out with high weights and liked this type of exercise.\
But then he knew very well that technique in training is also very important, and that's what he's known since he started with Neil Hell
Felix Lewis was the first player to win the Arnold Classic in the 212th Welterweight category in 2014
Felix almost got married in 2016 and has a daughter
Felix Lewis, who was known for his morals and his balanced and modest personality, and we do not forget that he was a source of inspiration for our veteran Libyan hero Kamal Al-Qarqani.
And when the Libyan lion won the Olympia 2019 class 212, he thanked Felix Lewis a lot for the support and encouragement he gave him
