Title: Comebacks
Post by: smaul on September 12, 2006, 02:29:41 AM
What big comebacks have there been in bodybuilding?  I cant think of any apart from Arnold.  I ask because I have noticed that in the latest pics dorian seems to be getting larger again.  I doubt its because he wants to compete again though.

Ferrigno in '92 - as much as I dislike the guy, 12th place in the Olympia wasn't bad for someone who'd been gone from the sport for so many years.

I don't think we'll ever see Dorian back on stage - he still trains and possibly even juices because he's got a reputation to keep up.

Dorian stays in shape to promote his supplement company

his injuries were so bad he would struggle to bring up his injured bodyparts

First of all, who's 'they'? And why would there be an issue on whether Don Long can compete or not? Am I missing something here?  ???

Hahahaha - Flex Wheeler.  I remember his "natural" comeback.  I think he is still apologizing for those claims. 

And if he wouldn't have come back it would have been a lot easier on the kidneys...
