Flex Lewis: The Greatest 212 Bodybuilder of All Time!
Several years ago, James Flex Lewis made it clear that he intended to leave a legacy behind as the greatest 212 pro ever. By the end of the 2017 contest season, he had already firmly established that legacy with six consecutive victories on the Olympia stage. Shortly after this issue goes to press, Flex will have attempted to put the final stamp on his impressive record with a seventh win, and odds are high that he succeeded in that goal. Regardless, Lewis will have established his place in the pantheon of all-time greats of the sport, and its greatest champion of the 212 division. Before continuing with the Flex story, a bit of background on the division itself is in order.

Best Protein Blend Whey, Casein, Soy
Bodybuilders need protein— lots of protein. When your training diet requires up to 200 grams of protein per day, supplementation becomes essential. Even if you are capable of consuming all of your required protein as a meal, protein supplements often offer advantages over whole foods. Protein powders may contain one or more protein types in order to take advantage of the beneficial properties of those proteins. Furthermore, protein powders are often supplemented with creatine, beta-alanine and other performance enhancing compounds. It’s easy to say that protein shakes need to be a part of your bodybuilding plan.
