Chris is a phenomenal singer. Ask him if he's been classically trained or if it's just a natural gift.

So he is gay? Ask him how it felt to be a gay man in bodybuilding and the fact that he had to hide it so long.

Hey Chick, ask Chris if he felt the stigma to be a multi-O winner? and if he's been tempted in the past to come out of retirement?

Wow... you don't see guys doing 27 years often these days.

What is Dickerson's day job all this time?

thisiskeith12 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 07, 2007, 02:28:06 PM »

Definitely a great story to bodybuilding for lasting that long.

In comparison:

The average NFL career is 4 years!

Dickerson remains the oldest winner of the Mr. Olympia (43 yrs old)...and the first African-American to win the Mr. America title. In 1979, Dickerson made his Olympia debut. Here's a list of some of the guys who were in that 1979 Olympia, Lightweight class. Pretty impressive, to say the least:

Frank Zane
Boyer Coe
Robby Robinson
Chris Dickerson
Danny Padilla
Albert Beckles
Tom Platz
Ed Corney

(Zane won the class and went on to defeat Mentzer for the overall Olympia title)
