Flex Lewis is jumping into the Open … Class. Lewis, who steamrolled the competition in the 202 Pound Class at the British Grand Prix last weekend, announced today that he will compete in the Open Class of the IFBB Mr. Europe Grand Prix this Saturday in Spain.
“I had a lot of people coming up to me after the (British) telling me I would have done well in the Open Class,” Lewis said. “I was flattered but didn’t really give it much thought. But a lot of fans have been emailing me and contacting me on Facebook telling me how they would have loved to see me in the Open Class (last weekend). After talking it over with (trainer) Neil Hill, I decided ‘I’m already in shape, so why not do it this weekend?’.”
Lewis last competed in the Open Class as a rookie pro at the 2009 Europa Supershow. He placed seventh at that contest.
On Saturday, he’ll enter the Mr. Europe with no agenda other than to have fun and give bodybuilding fans something to talk about.
“The pressure’s off,” Lewis said. “I’m going into this with no expectations. It’s going to be fun.”
