What big comebacks have there been in bodybuilding? I cant think of any apart from Arnold. I ask because I have noticed that in the latest pics dorian seems to be getting larger again. I doubt its because he wants to compete again though.

Flex Wheeler
Cathy Priest ...to name a view

and the daddy of all combacks

Gary Strydom

Ferrigno in '92 - as much as I dislike the guy, 12th place in the Olympia wasn't bad for someone who'd been gone from the sport for so many years.

I don't think we'll ever see Dorian back on stage - he still trains and possibly even juices because he's got a reputation to keep up.

Dorian stays in shape to promote his supplement company

his injuries were so bad he would struggle to bring up his injured bodyparts

What do you mean 'if they let him'?

Karl Kox · « **Reply #14 on:** September 12, 2006, 07:34:35 AM »

First of all, who's 'they'? And why would there be an issue on whether Don Long can compete or not? Am I missing something here?

he had to get approval from a doctor and show it to the IFBB, but I just herd on the replay of Pro BBW that it basically got the OK

Hahahaha - Flex Wheeler. I remember his "natural" comeback. I think he is still apologizing for those claims.

And if he wouldn't have come back it would have been a lot easier on the kidneys...
