4 unusual facts about Masters Olympia


Masters Olympia

Vince Taylor has the most Masters Olympia titles with five (1996, 1997, 1999-2001)

The competition was created by Joe Weider in 1994 as a venue for former champions (some of whom had already won the IFBB Mr. Olympia) to continue to compete at the highest professional level past the age of 40.

The contest was won by 2008 Mr. Olympia Dexter Jackson, making him only the second bodybuilder (along with Chris Dickerson) to win titles in both the Mr. Olympia and Masters Olympia competitions.

During its early years famous bodybuilders such as Lou Ferrigno, Robbie Robinson, Ed Corney, and Chris Dickerson competed in the Masters Olympia well into their 40's, 50's, and even 60's (there was a division for each age group).
