James Lewis, Derek Lunsford and Charles Dixon ahead of Olympia 212 Showdown 2018

James "Flex" Lewis, Derek Lunsford, and Charles Dixon are among the best that can be seen in the 212-pound division right now. So it's no surprise that this trio are among those preparing for this year's Olympia 212 Showdown, which takes place during Olympia Weekend.

James "Flex" Lewis has dominated this event six times already, and no one doubts that he will walk off the stage undefeated this year as well. Triumph is of course his goal, especially considering the fact that this will be his last appearance in this category.

We recently offered you a video of his joint chest workout with Canadian OPEN pro Frank McGrath.
Today we offer you another video from their training together. This time you will see them destroying their thighs, 7 weeks before the Olympia.

According to many, one of Flex's most formidable opponents will be Derek Lunsford, last year's fifth man at this event. As you can see in the attached photos and video below, this is not just talk, and the 25-year-old proves that "something" big is on the way!

Derek also shared seven tips for a fat-free body:

1. You have to set goals = No goal, no way!
2. Don't overdo it with flavors and sweeteners - The more flavors, the more you crave them and the harder the diet will be!
3. Be sure to have your veggies, but don't overdo it = Bloat!
4. Don't limit salt, quite the opposite! = The right combination of plenty of water and plenty of sodium will ensure adequate hydration.
5. Don't eat more than two to six weeks in a row! = It is difficult to keep in shape and the body reacts harder and harder to any effort!
6. Include periods without discipline! = Your body can't run like a machine all the time, you have to give it permission in both eating and training!
7. Try to stay tuned in on a positive wave, even when you are starving. It can help you a lot to get through a long period of dieting!

Charles Dixon may not be one of the guys who could threaten James "Flex" Lewis, but he certainly has a shot at the top spot. The proof is in 2015 and 2016, when he fought his way to a very respectable seventh place.

Although he has been one of the oldest fighters on the podium for many years, and this year will be no exception, nor is he one of the most symmetrical, he is thinking of better results.

Will he be able to break into the top 6 this year? We will find out on 15 September, when the final of the competition will take place.
