and this matters to you?

Chris is a phenomenal singer. Ask him if he's been classically trained or if it's just a natural gift.
-
and this matters to you?
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.
-
cool
-
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?
-
Great guest. Competed over 30 years thats gotta be a record.
-
He competed for over 30 years?
Wow, what age start and retire?

Started at 27yrs old and finished at 54. So it is actually 27-28years of competition according to muscle memory. Pretty close though to 30 though...

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)

Martinez could have said that he would stop selling drugs.
-
Chris must be getting old, cause one time he hit on me and then a few weeks later asked me if he knew me.
But aside from that he was a nice dude, and totaly against steroid use.
-
You should quit!
only been here a week ::)
-
Martinez could have said that he would stop selling drugs.
LOL ;D
-
Wow, he won in 82 then chose not to compete the next year. A lesser Samir won, before Haney came on and smashed everyone for 8 years.
-
Told you.... ;) Shawn ray
im 2 for 2 on predictions on this board...first the ASC top 5 and then now....i have a gift
-
LOL!
And when it comes to vocal presence, Shawn Ray is the ANTI-James Earl Jones.

Holy take over of the shown Shawn.

HAHAHAH We got another shoutout...
-
Compare the eloquence of Mr. Dickerson with the mush-mouthed grunting of Ronnie Coleman.
-
Holy take over of the shown Shawn.
Ya a little too much verbal diahhrea as usual, taking a little too much time away from Chris. Though it was in well-intentioned tribute to him.
Imagine the endless yackety yak if Shawn had won the Olympia. :-X

How in the World did he fall to 11th place the year after he won the Olympia ?
-
Awesome interview. It sounded like Dickerson holds some grudges. He all but called the AAU a bunch of racists. Dickerson beat Franco in 81 IMO. He deserves some respect when you really think about his achievements.
