Flex Lewis provided a physique update today. The 7-time 212 Mr. Olympia, who last competed when he won the 2018 212 Olympia, got up to almost 260 last year when he focused on a comeback in the open Mr. Olympia. But the Welsh Dragon has been steadily shedding pounds of mostly muscle ever since deciding against that comeback and retiring from the bodybuilding stage for good last May.

I have worked hard on losing just under 60lbs of weight (natural) over several months, and as most know I am not one for showcasing what I look like at the best of times in prep, let alone hairy off-season. Lol
But….. its TIME to START and show my fans and followers the journey. I am about 2wks in and things are starting to click i am up a few pounds. Nothing has been consistent as I have also been traveling last three weeks. Business to family time.
