First of all i want to say that dennis wolf is a great bodybuilder and my favorite pro in the moment
but i wonder if he can improve over the next years:
considering the following facts:
- he is just 28y old, but what really counts is his biological age, or how long you re allready living the hardcore lifestyle
(wolf has been competing as a heavyweight since he was a teenager)
so i think he wont be on stage till is 40s, and rather be one of the guys who have to end their career in the early to mid 30s
what means he has maybe only 4 to 6 more years to go in which he will be able to look good, before the "palumboism" as seen on ronnie coleman 2006/2007 and jay cutler 2008 wiil be jump in
MARLBORO doesn t help too (ask ruhl)
- the bodyparts considered as week points are gentically very limited
his lats are high and you can t get a thicker lower back if there are only tendons of the lat, erectors are allready well developed, but lats simply end to high -> his lower back will never get better !
calfs are high and without any size-improvement since last year, calfs are allways all genetics as well as biceps peak and triceps seperation
maybe only his upper pecs and abs can be improved via training (relatively small waist but 3nd worst abs in the 2008 olympia, absolutely no depth and thickness !)
- ass we all know, the most important thing in pro BB is drugs, and any major improvements as for example ronnie c did 97 to 98 is a result of dosing every thing up, better drugs, more sophisticated application or accepting a higher risk in generall
i don t think there is anything out there (after hes working with cad and milos), that dennis wolf is not doing today at the highest posible level, exept synthol and implants (what wouldn t help anyway)
- muscle quality is not so good
for example guys like flex wheeler have all the cuts and striations even when they are not in best condition, wolf hasn t that ability
wolfy has to bring always 100% conditioning to show at least some muscle details
and thats gonna be hard over the years
my opinion is
i don t think he will ever be much better than what we ve seen now
he can be a little fuller in the legs as he was in 2007 combined with a very good conditioning as he had this year, but thats it
of course this all doesen t mean he can t place higher in contests, depending on politics/contracts (has to sign with muscletec) and how the other guys in the lineup will be looking like (can martinez and kai recover, how long will dex be out there, how much mass can heath put on ?)
what do you guys think?
still sure hes a future mr O?
