    Flex Lewis Facts

  • He Lewis developed an interest in bodybuilding when he was 12 years old after he came across a book about legendary professional bodybuilder Tom Platz. Flex revealed that he was taken aback by pictures of Tom’s legs and that motivated him to start working out. He was also a big fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger as a child.
  • Flex began his weight training, as a teenager, using plastic weights that he had found in his father’s shed and had started using them secretly as his parents had prohibited him from using them.
  • He first started working out in a gym only at the age of 15 where he was coached by a local bodybuilder named Steve Naylor. A year later, he participated in a bodybuilding competition for the first time and won the Junior Mr. Wales title.
  • He is a keen rugby enthusiast and had played the sport throughout his high school days. His nickname, Flex, also came from the rugby pitch as his friends were in awe of his flexibility that allowed him to expertly avoid tackles during games.
  • At the 2014 Arnold Classic, an annual multi-sport event, he became the first athlete to be declared champion in the 212 lbs class.
