Flex Lewis looked just as impressive as ever.
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.
While it may be hard to compare an Open Weight bodybuilder to a 212 competitor, the comparisons between Flex Lewis and Phil Heath often comes up after every Olympia competition. While Phil Heath has appeared to miss a step in his seventh win, Flex Lewis continued to look unbeatable with his sixth Olympia victory. It makes you wonder which man will end up being the more dominant champion.
It isn’t easy to stay on top in a game like this. There’s a reason that not many champions have been able to win more than a handful of times in a row. But with his sixth win, Flex Lewis has never looked better. Take a look at the post below to see his improvements.
With their respective performances now set in stone, do you think Flex Lewis is more dominant in the 212 division than Phil Heath is in the Open Weight category?

Indeed he is just getting better and more better 212 is all about flex❤
Yes, he has no gut !!
Now Flex Lewis looks great!!!!
Big country would be proud!
I hope so, much better for the sport than Phil... not taking away from Phil he's an outstanding bodybuilder, I just don't like his arrogance
You would be arrogant too after putting in so much work to be the champion he is, only to have idiots say he doesn't deserve it because their man crush of the week fell short.
Don't mistake cockiness for arrogance, that's your first mistake
I did say he's "an outstanding bodybuilder " I actually have said a number of times he definitely won this most recent Olympia... he won every shot from the back...
And I put in PLENTY of work, I see you do... but arrogance or cockiness habe no place in my personality... stay humble
Have*
I was speaking in general terms. In regards to some of the hate I see sent his way. I wasn't singling you out.
I got ya... he does get a lot of hate and personality wise I get it, but his physique is undeniable
well its bodybuilding. Its all about body not personality
Not necessarily true and the greatest example of that is Arnold... the sport is what it is bc of his personality, his gravitas.
Heath is a Gladiator. The real deal.
Flex is perfect,he could win the above 212 olympia
Above 212? You mean the open Olympia ?
No one really cares about 212
Let the gut decide (?)
