Getting Flex Lewis And William Bonac Ready For The Big O Stage

Neil Hill
Olympia Game Day

SHOW DAY AT THE

Olympia for Team Y3T is always very demanding. There are naturally a lot of expectations from around the world of bodybuilding for Flex Lewis to defend his 212 Olympia title and for William Bonac to climb farther up the Mr. Olympia ladder. As the coach, I’m going to give you a never-before-shared insight into what Olympia show day looks like for myself and Team Y3T athletes Flex Lewis and William Bonac.

EARLY-MORNING ASSESSMENTS

I’ll rise very early, usually between 5 and 6 a.m. to go and see Flex and William. Generally, we make a habit of staying in the same hotel to set up camp—this allows us the added convenience of being close enough to one another so I can keep an eye on things for the whole duration of our stay. The reason I get up so early is to see what their condition is looking like. There is always a plan of action we implement seven to 10 days out from show day as part of the “peak week” strategy. However, things don’t always go as you’d like them to. Seemingly minor details can make drastic alterations in the way their physique appears on that Olympia stage. Absolutely nothing is left to chance!

In this early-morning assessment what I’m looking for are key markers I use to judge their condition for that time of day. For instance, I know that there are certain tie-ins around Flex’s glutes that indicate if he’s where he needs to be. When William hits a double-biceps rear shot I know the skin folds in his lower back need to be very tight to ensure he’s sharp enough this far out from stepping onstage.
