He posted this on IG three weeks ago. I think it's safe to say that he's done with competitive bodybuilding and isn't planning any sort of comeback. Which is wise if you ask me. I wish him the best in future endeavours

Perhaps he'll go into classic physique with Darrem and Wheeler.

What makes you think that? He seemed intent on a good recovery and getting back to it in that documentary they did with him.

His physique in that picture just doesn't strike me as a top IFBB pro trying to make a comeback. What it does look like to me is a top IFBB pro retiring and staying healthy.

I could be completely wrong obviously, it's just the impression that I get.

Ah I see. Yeah it has been a while too, thought he'd be back to his previous size or close to it now

He looks awesome, I always thought his lighter look was his best, i.e 2006/07 and even before that.

Just look at this Hitlerian wet dream

[ramsaygordon]

Well it based on his recent pics and news it seems after the neck injury his is just done up with bodybuilding and muscle gain... After surgery he lost a lot of muscle gain..Maybe he is done with his bodybuilding career.

I took a look at his fb page and he recently said he's still hoping to compete sometime this year.

[Misctake7]

Most recent postings on social media are always throwbacks to old pics/competitions. He had initially said he was going to work on recovering and competing again, but I honestly think that's changed. He'd likely be pushing hard right now if he was hoping for a comeback this year or next year.

I like Dennis but think he lost too much to attempt any kind of comeback. Smart to be safe and not risk any other injury that could result in a more serious injury.

Perhaps he's planning a trip to Kuwait soon

[MillerTime07]

I think he's finished. If he's still talking about competing its just to stay relevant. Heck I remember Big Ron kept saying he was making a come back for probably 5 years after his last show.

[203mh]

I think that's it for him. At this point and at his age, it's a high risk and he likely won't go back to his best form.. he has nothing to be ashamed of, besides his debut in 2006, the 2006 Mr. Olympia and the 2009 Mr. Olympia, placing at the 2009 Olympia, he hasn't been out of the top 6 at any show his whole career.

[Nep2une]

Well, I'll always remember him as one of the most exciting surprises to place top 5 in an Olympia(2007)

And also how he finally found his formula and got his crap together I think 2010 on after he bombed in 2009 with the cookies.

Calves, arms, hamstrings & abs were his weaknesses.

Chest, shoulders, clavicles, upper back, and quads were his strengths and especially in 2006 his crab mm was maybe top 20 ever.

Something about those Germans because Ruhl had a better one and a argument could be made for Rocker as well.

He also came at a time when there were just about no aesthetic tall bodybuilders and absolutely none with aesthetics and overpowering mass. Tony Freeman was amazing during those days but he wasnt overwhelming anyone with mass.

In 2007 he became famous but in 2006 here on the boards we were making fun of him as Jay Cutlers little twin because he had the EXACT same haircut and really did look like Jay, but without the physique, he was deep in the callouts. His face even looked slightly like Jays. He didn't seem to get that sunbaked goblin face until 2007 or 2008.

We also tripped out in 2007 when we realized he sounded almost identical to Arnold.

He was a force to be reckoned with and we never wrote him off from being able to win an Olympia until that calf came off the bone. He will be missed.

He looks great in that recent pic. I think for his health and longevity, NOT attempting a comeback would be a wise move. He's made his mark in the sport, no shame in being done if he so chooses.

[euro7muscle]

Saw him at the FIBO over the weekend, looked smaller than usual, will post a pic I snapped

[Salden]

Very well written.

He was saying in the video about his injury that he hopes he could return. He stated later in the video that he still could not feel certain things and he was unable to make his arms do certain ROMs. In other words had he been 85-100% after surgery, he probably would have started training hard and growing. But he was not at anything near that. Due to the injury type he was lucky to be moving correctly. It can take up to 12-18 months for the nerves to start coming back after a surgery like his. At his age I have to think he probably won't return to the stage. Plus, while the surgery went well from what he said and all reports I have seen. To get back to the level he was, including the gear and amount of weight needed. He could be risking another injury to his neck. Again while he said it was a good surgery, the stress on the area due to multiple types of angles and weight could easily lead to injury for anyone let alone a pro BBer.

Recall in the video he was workingout with pretty light weight and he was struggling and had to stop. That's due to the nerves not being healthy yet. With his age and wife probably wanting kids...I really don't think he will do any show again (any type natural, classic and ect). He might just end up doing broadcasting for shows. Like Jay, he lives in Los Vegas so you never know.

poor dennis i hope acting isnt in his very near future. Every time i see wolf i think of that clip in generation iron where he almost tripped during the audition and the horrible lines.
