Lionel Beyeke

Lionel Beyeke raised eyebrows at the 2009 Arnold Amateur, where he was the runner up behind  Roelly Winklaar. In less than a year of turning Pro in 2010, he put on 30lbs of muscle for  the 2011 NY Pro, in which he placed 4th. Lionel claimed he would “shock everyone at the Flex Pro 2012” and he did, edging out Ben Pakulski to win it! Beyeke’s inspirations in the sport include  Flex Wheeler, Shawn Ray, Kevin Levrone, essentially a lot of the old school bodybuilders. But one in  particular was Thierry Pastel, a fellow Frenchman.
