Thread is useless without a pic champ
recent deadlift video. I hope he recovers
^ I didn't realize that Mike has a YouTube channel that he updates regularly.
You know...Mike has literally been at the top of the fitness industry for *30* years now - arguably, since 1991.
I remember seeing some women's [or gay interest] birthday card at a novelty store that had Mike O'Hearn on the front, where he was lying in the beach.
That was back in 2000.
I think Mike said Joe Weider discovered him at the 1990 Mr. Olympia contest, when Mike was 21. His first photoshoot was in 1991, so he's been basically as far as you can get in the fitness world for literally over 31 years now, if you want to be specific.
That's why it annoys me that O'Hearn claims to be natural. What he has done is unprecedented, more or less. NOBODY takes an industry that has average 10-year careers, and does it for 30 years. You have rare genetic freaks like Jay Cutler who had a 20-year bodybuilding career, with 17 as a pro, and 10 where he won pro shows, and Dexter Jackson - another genetic freak - who had a 28-year bodybuilding career, with 22 as a pro, and with a staggering *29* pro wins between 2002-2019.
And while Mike O'Hearn never won a Mr. Olympia, he has still been at the elite level of the fitness industry, and is still there now at age 53.
To me that's impressive whether he's natural or not. So I don't know why he needs to claim natural. The man is very impressive.
Weird that he won't take steroids, but takes Botox [maybe that explains his current look - dermal fillers may look like as they age].
