FLEX LEWIS IS BIGGER
THAN BODYBUILDING. The
Welsh Dragon is known for his
seven consecutive Olympia wins
in the 212 division (2012–18),
but Lewis is much more than a
chiseled body. He co-owns
gym equipment manufacturer
Arsenal Strength, is sponsored
by Yamamoto Nutrition and
Monster, has more than 1.5 mil-
lion Instagram followers, and,
as of recently, partnered with
cbdMD, a company that pro-
duces premium CBD products.
M&F caught up with Lewis, who
was in New York for cbdMD’s
IPO launch, to discuss his plans,
which he announced in Septem-
ber 2018, to move up to the open
division and compete with the
biggest guns of bodybuilding.
