Two IFBB Pros won their class in the Australian titles on the weekend
« on: October 20, 2011, 04:12:25 PM »
Both Greg Dwyer and Andy Cunningham both blew the other competitors off the stage to win the Australian under 80kg and under 100kg titles.Great to see two great guys doing so well.

Greg had placed 12th in a masters Mr Olympia and Andy had not competed as a pro since winning his Pro card.He helped Lee Priest get ready for so many shows.Congrats to two Great Body Builders.

It was fantastic, Andy won his last Australian title in 1992, turned pro in 1993 and then broke his back. He he never competed as a pro despite having won his pro card qualifier. He is now 44 and the best he has ever been. See pics below.

Agreed, Andy never competed as a pro and Greg was 12th in a masters comp. Big deal.

To see 2 guys in their mid and late 40s in this kind of shape us awesome.

Greg competed on the weekend at 48 years old in a national title under 80kg (176lb).

I would have thought the younger guys had the advantage.

Why hate when you can congratulate?

No you have confirmed how stupid you are, let me explain again, they are not pros. One was as a master with not much success = no call outs, no titles.
The other one never competed as a pro, hadn't been on stage in 18yrs.

Good point at least Greg placed 12th masters Olympia and you could be right about Priest he has burned a lot of bridges.But Mr Paul Graham is a forgiving man remember when he left Lee in Poland after he failed a drug test.Next thing at the Niaggra PRO/AM he was given an IFBB Pro card.So Mr Graham does have a heart.

Lee has moved on from IFBB, he was doing something with NABBA then signed to Dillet's federation. His choice. He has not competed since 2006 but was in great shape last time I saw him.

He does not need to reconcile with Paul Graham and neither he or Lee are interested in becoming friends in the near future.  It is Mr Manion that runs the pro league and would be up to him if Lee were ever to be an IFBB Pro again.
