This guy never maximized his potential!!

[affeman]

2007 it looked like he'd be unbeatable for years to come. Never quite lived up to the expectations. Agree?

[The Italian Lifter]

is he the guy living with the old mama?

[BigRo]

Arms look thicker then. He has done what his body has allowed him to do. Should have beat Phillipe and Towel last year.

That's because he was all hype.

[Powerlift66]

Needs to inject his missing calves, the maybe he might win one...

Dude I was there at the 2007 Mr. Olympia and let me tell you he was the real deal. He even had calves that year. He dwarfed Jay and really should have finished second to Vic Martinez that year. Obviously, he will never come close to winning the O ever again, but give the dude his due. He did look really good, but had injuries and probably doesn't have the muscle density of "The Phil" or Kai.

Probably had the wrong advisors after 2007, pushing him too hard training and chemical wise. Injuries and burned out receptors were the result. Another guy ruined by Teh Chad

If he had continued like he did up until 2007 he'd be a multiple Mr. O right now.

Injecting his calves is probably what caused the nerve damage that made them shrink in the first place.

Youre probably right...

He had calves that year? No, he had better calves than his deteriorating ones that he has today. He still has the glaring hole in his lower mid back as he did back in 2007. I give him his due, he is and always has been all hype. And never lived up to it. The hype machine surrounds all big men---and few smaller ones, Richard Jones, Brandon Curry, Melvin Anthony, and a few others.

If he hadn't spent so much time crapping on groupies.

[affeman]

When this rookie was wiping the stage floor with (an aging, but still) Coleman was a huge shocker that year

[JasonH]

He has maximised his potential - he did the best he could do with what he has. His calves and his high lats let him down but he pretty much went as far as he could go with the competition he faced at the time.

[MAXX]

funny how he peaked so hard for one year and then was never able to maintain it or reattain it

most of them are able to keep it for a few years atleast.

[thegamechanger]

won arnold classic 2014, 2nd 2012 and 2011
3d mr olympia 2013

pretty good.

[Schmoff]

That's because he was all hype.

because you are a 5'5 negro

Agree. His first Olympia was his best showing so far. Made that little biatch Jay run scared.
Now, by the time he had paid his dues, he has distended stomach, baldness, atrophied calf, wrinkled face, sandpaper skin, blood pressure way above normal and maybe few fatal diseases we don't know of.

I give him his due, he is and always has been all hype.

It's your racism speaking, you can't really call biggest and tallest bodybuilder on stage "all hype".

[SomeKindofMonster]

To get that grainy hard look he has now a certain amount of
roundness, aesthetics, ect. was lost.
Modern bodybuilding standards for ya.
I personally liked his 2007 type look but it would not
serve him placement wise as his current much grainier look.

He was all hype! People kept saying he was going to be this and that. And he wasn't. Just like Federov, and to me, except for Federov's chest, he has Wolf beat. After Gunter faded away, and Quincy Taylor amounted to nothing, Wolf was the next "big guy". And as anybody who has followed bbing, you should know that the "big guys" are needed for the freak factor. They are no real threat.
If Wolf was so damn good, he would have beaten Phil by now. But, he never fixed that mid lower back, and his calves atrophied.
Of all the big guys, Gunter was the real deal, he beat Ronnie at the GNC.

[ritch]

I don't think you can say he had a bad career. He seemed very popular, was sponsored most the time. Looked solid to me, always liked his build in most poses and always seemed like he was a cool guy. Germans are pretty bad ass.

[Ropo]

Well, at least he did survive from coaching of Milos "The Snake oil salesman" Sarcev, and was able to join in the long line of bodybuilders who health has being ruined by that silly fuck. I wonder why he hasn't being able to live up the expectations? Could it be a reason that he have been seeking help from the known idiot? Milos seem to have quite good killing rate, he has more dead trainers than any coach in the history of bodybuilding

I agree. But now with Palumboism setting in, it's too late. He's done.

[Nails]

Agree , due to his size and being german, the jews in Hollywood are black balling his acting career

[Hulkster]

never understood what all the fuss was about.

he's like Cutler: smooth pecs, smooth arms, smooth delts, poor structure etc.

but Jay won the O. because no one better was around, which was sad.

compared to people like prime Coleman and Flex etc they look like shit.

What the fuck? Have you learned anything? You can say a LOT about Wolf , but to say he has a poor structure is just fucking monumentally moronic. Dude seriously? A poor structure?
