Flex Lewis is making the 2018 Mr. Olympia his last Men’s 212 competition.
Flex Lewis has been the reigning champion in the Men’s 212 Mr. Olympia for quite some time now. He is the epitome of what the 212 division should look like and has hardly even been threatened for the title – maintaining what seems like an unstoppable physique. So in some ways it comes as a shock that Flex Lewis has just announced his retirement from the 212 division. He is making the upcoming Mr. Olympia 2018 his last.
It was six years ago that Flex Lewis won his first Men’s 212 Olympia title – and he has maintained that title ever since. His retirement from competing will leave a large hole in the competition… but also open it up to excitement as to who will fill that hole. Always humble in victory and focused in competition – it will be sad to see Flex Lewis step off the stage for the last time. But it will also be cause for celebration, as he stepped down on his own terms and will (most likely) walk away from the Mr. Olympia not in defeat but in one final victory.
