Bring back the Master's Olympia!!! Do something Chick!!!

That's exactly the point he was making: do not encourage contests that push mature guys to extremes that jeopardize their health.  It's a reasonable argument but I'm not sure I buy it.  BB is supposed to be a fun recreational activity. 

but it is ok to encourage younger guys to jeopardize their health?

of course it's OK. who cares, if they don't care for their own Asses.

Why did you compete in Masters events then? Just coz they were the only ones you stood a chance in?
IF you added a Masters (50+) event to run on the same day as the Olympia, the fans would love it. Would be good for bodybuilding too

I competed in ONE event, and tried my best to persuade as many top notch athletes over 40 to come and compete as well....at the end of the day, a handful showed up, and no more butts in the seats....

As for standing a chance in the open, I'll let my record speak for itself....

.... fixed by limiting the Olympia to only the overall winners from the previous 12 months.   None of this 5th place at the Ironman gets you into the Olympia crap.

I think they started doing this in order for more people to show up because their favorite BBer was in the contest, yet couldn't get on the stage any other way (winning a contest).
Similar to someone like Milos; great look onstage and has an exceptional physique. But by his own admission, he entered 72 IFBB shows and won only one. But he was top ten at the Olympia quite a few times, and I think top six for ten years or something.

Chick, you cannot be that old.  Yo, you still hang with Matt from the 02 battle for the O?  Sorry if I'm out of date.

[Naked4Jesus]

but then again................... .....im old!

Ditto... I got a kick from the old guys mixing it up again.

but as soon as someone qualifies for the Olympia, then they usually sit out the rest of the year.   So the top 5 from the Ironman qualifying for the Olympia in February takes away from the Europa, Tampa Bay, Houston, etc.
