The 2017 Olympia has come and gone once again showcasing the best of the best at work on the pro stage. Not every year at the Olympia is filled with controversy, but this year a great number of fans and pundits were up in arms over the crowning of Phil Heath as Mr. Olympia for the seventh consecutive year. Many believed that Heath didn’t look up to par with his usual performances and that Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay deserved the win. Others believed that despite having an off year Phil Heath still was superior to everyone on stage. The controversy somewhat marred the event, but in the 212 division no such conflict existed.
For the sixth consecutive year, James “Flex” Lewis proved that he was the best 212 bodybuilder out there. He showcased his amazing musculature and posing prowess once more, his figure tight and lean as usual. Flex Lewis has been able to maintain the attributes that made him a champion and has even continued to make improvements to his physique.

It makes you wonder which man will end up being the more dominant champion.
