Dan Bilzerian decided to join the bodybuilding legend Flex Lewis at his own personal gym.
Flex Lewis is known as one of the top bodybuilders of all-time and overall best in the 212 division. Despite his recent retirement, Lewis will remain active in the fitness industry. Lewis was joined by Dan Bilzerian at his Dragon’s Lair gym for a killer shoulder workout.
Lewis won seven consecutive Olympia titles in 212. He did not compete at the 2020 or 2021 show despite receiving a special invitation. There was rumors of his return in 2022 but Lewis would have had to qualify for the show. On the first episode of his Straight Outta The Lair podcast, Lewis announced that he would be retiring from the sport.
Of course, one of the best talents of all-time will continue to run his gym and train others. Bilzerian was on the list. Known as Mr. Instagram, Bilzerian has built a huge following because of his wild lifestyle. Bilzerian is now trying his hand in Hollywood appearing in films such as Extraction and The Equalizer.
Flex Lewis, Dan Bilzerian Shoulder Workout
Dan Bilzerian has displayed a shredded physique on social media on many occasions. Here, Flex Lewis led him through a shoulder workout that will build size. The exact amount of sets and reps were not displayed throughout the video.
The duo began by hitting a lateral raise machine. This is where they focused on keeping their arms fully extended to hit the shoulder muscles hard.
“So today, we got the man, the myth, the legend [Dan Bilzerian], jumping in on shoulders. He’s going to teach me one or two things.” Lewis said.

The workout continues with more lateral raises. This time, they are seated with dumbbells. Flex Lewis pushes Bilzerian through these sets as they are one of the most important shoulder workouts.
The workout finishes up with cable crossovers to hit the back of the shoulders. Lewis has certainly remained busy since announcing his retirement and this includes training some of the top competitors in the world.
Flex Lewis was recently joined by Rafael Brandao for a workout before his victory at the 2022 Arnold Classic South America. It is clear that Lewis has plenty of knowledge about weightlifting and this is where many can learn. Dan Bilzerian is clearly interested in fitness and decided to soak up whatever he could.

Dan Bilzerian Says It Is “Not Healthy” To Be As Big As The Rock
Dan Bilzerian believes The Rock is not being genuine in his public life.
Dan Bilzerian is known for living an extravagant lifestyle that features a massive social media presence where he shows off his latest escapades. The “King of Instagram” has 32.8 million followers on the app where he is not shy about sharing his lifestyle and yes — that includes weight lifting. Recently, Bilzerian had some interesting opinions to share about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Bilzerian is interested in fitness and has kept himself in tremendous shape. He had some choice words to say about individuals entering their 50’s in terms of mass they are carrying. Bilzerian joined YouTuber Derek on More Plates More Dates to discuss the topic.
“It’s unhealthy to sustain that level of mass. They show people are giants, like basketball players. It’s just not healthy to be that big,” Dan Bilzerian said of The Rock.
The Rock is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood today. His career began to take off when he was with the WWE. He quickly rose to the top of professional wrestling before leaving to pursue a career on the big screen. This has helped The Rock become an influential figure in many areas.
Maybe more than anything, The Rock is known for his massive frame. He is a former football player and at 6-foot-5, The Rock still carries a lot of muscle. Also, Dan Bilzerian feels like Johnson is too famous or rich to be genuine in his public life.
“I do whatever the f**k I want. He does not. Unless like he is playing this character for ever is what he wants. I don’t think that’s what he wants,” Bilzerian said.
“The thing I don’t like about The Rock is I don’t feel like he gets to be authentic.”
It is no secret that Dan Bilzerian has a history of doing what he wants. He is a professional poker player that made a nice chunk of change on the tables but is more known for his life outside of the casino.
This was Bilzerian’s biggest critique of The Rock. Sometimes, a public figure has to watch what he or she says because of the uproar it might cause.
“You’re not hearing what he wants to say, you’re hearing what his teams put together,” Bilzerian said of The Rock.
These were some interesting comments coming from one public figure to another. While he is not as big as The Rock, in size or status, Bilzerian seems to be discussing how hard it is for some to live in this light. Bilzerian does not attack The Rock’s character or personality within his comments.
Dwayne Johnson is one of the biggest stars that there is today. It is not easy but he still finds a way to inspire others and give back to his communities. There is no doubt that The Rock tries to be the best version of himself as much as he can.
