Andrew Jacked the Genetic Wonder!
It's extremely rare for a bodybuilder to win his first pro contest. Stars like Ronnie Coleman, Dorian Yates, Lee Haney, Dexter Jackson and Jay Cutler did not. A few who did were Flex Wheeler, Phil Heath and Big Ramy.

SUPER FREAK MICHAL KRIZO: FUTURE MR.OLYMPIA THREAT?
I know, I know, "that" title; bit of a double-edged sword, isn't it? How many times have we heard this said about exciting newcomers to the pro ranks? BUT! (A BIG "but," not in the "Wellness" sense, ahem) Michal Krizo Krizanek, 31 years old and from Slovakia, believe it or not, isn't even pro yet.

Carve Unreal Quad Separation With Barbell Lunges
Outstanding quadriceps separation demands freakish thigh mass that dives into deep canyons etched on either side of the muscle bellies. When it comes to the best thighs in bodybuilding, it is hard not to think about legends such as eight-time Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman, with ripped-to-the-bone size and shape, or the mass and cross-striations of a shredded four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler.

FLEX LEWIS THE GREATEST 212 PRO OF ALL TIME
James "Flex" Lewis was known as "The Welsh Dragon," a phenom who burst on to the pro bodybuilding scene 14 years ago in a new division called "202," which eventually became the 212. He dominated the Olympia stage from 2012 until walking away with seven consecutive titles in 2018. While planning a move to the Open ranks to vie for the Mr. Olympia title, he opened up The Dragon's Lair Gym in Las Vegas, which has become a mecca for top bodybuilders the world over. Lewis is also sponsored by both Monster Energy and Yamamoto Nutrition as well as being part owner of Arsenal Strength equipment. He recently had his second child, a son, and shocked the bodybuilding world when he announced he was retiring and would not be pursuing the Mr. Olympia title. I spoke with this humble champion about that difficult decision as well as the current state of the 212 division and a variety of other topics.
