Troy Alves and Toney Freeman: How long will they continue to compete?

[Matt C]

Given that they are both still doing pretty well, with Toney making the top 10 again, how much longer will these two stay in the game?  They are both 44 and don't seem to be declining yet although they are not improving much either which is understandable.

I know Troy was considering not going to the Olympia due to financial reasons so does anyone know if he plans to compete much longer?  When he won the 2009 Europa he said he might give it a couple more years.

They look like they still have a few years for sure, if that is what they want:

I did not see him at the expo so I can't say for sure if he is still around.  It seems to me that he did not have the drive to put himself out there in the bodybuilding world.  I think if he promoted himself a little more on the boards he would have more of a presence.  He has a physique that a lot of people want [small waist, great taper].

I will try to complete my Mr. Olympia review tonight and post it tomorrow but overall I was very pleased going this year but have to say that I would consider an ideal build to be more like Mark Wahlberg.  I imagine being 250+ cannot be easy to carry around all day.

I am still here to support the industry 100%.  Bodybuilding, even at the small level I participated in it over the past 10 years, has brought a lot of quality to my life.  I want to support the industry because of that.

That's true about Toney.

I'm not sure how old Bill is or Will Harris for that matter.  Some people say Will is around 45-50 but I have no idea if that's true.
