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.

Clenbuterol Cuts Both Ways

Clenbuterol is a popular drug used by bodybuilders and athletes that belongs to a class of compounds known as beta-agonists that bind to the beta-adrenergic receptor embedded in the cell membrane— turning on cellular signaling cascades within the fat cell that break down body fat while in the muscle cell and activating muscle growth.

Caffeine Safety And Toxicity

Up to 90 percent of us consume caffeine on a daily basis. Caffeine is quite possibly the most consistently used drug in the world. With the ability to abolish fatigue and increase wakefulness, caffeine makes the world go ‘round. I would argue that if caffeine were to go into shortage, it could become more valuable than gold and global markets would crash from the lack of productivity. Everyone from truck drivers, airline pilots, soldiers, or even surgeons get by on caffeine at some point.

‘Fast' Track To Fat Loss And Muscle Growth

Intermittent fasting may be effective for weight loss. It can also improve muscle growth by boosting the body's response to the anabolic hormone insulin.

Why Does The Body Prefer Carbohydrates As Exercise Intensity Increases?

During exercise, the body will typically utilize either carbohydrate or fat for energy but as exercise intensity increases to near-maximal levels, the body shifts to using carbohydrates such as glucose and glycogen as the predominant source of energy.

Build Muscle And Lose Fat While Dieting

Consuming the correct amount and type of protein, especially while cutting calories, preserves muscle protein synthesis while reducing muscle protein degradation— ultimately promoting greater levels of fat-free muscle mass.
