Chris Dickerson made history when he won the Mr. Olympia title in 1982 at 43. His win was a huge upset, as he was not even supposed to compete that year. Dickerson’s victory showed the world that you could achieve anything when you put your mind to it.

So what can we learn from Chris Dickerson, the one-time Mr. Olympia? This article will discuss his victory and hopefully motivate you to create victories of your own.

Chris Dickerson Mr. Olympia

The Early Years

Born in 1939 in Montgomery, Alabama, Chris Dickerson was always interested in sports and fitness. Chris was the youngest of three. His mother was a civil rights lawyer. Dickerson played football and ran track in high school before discovering weightlifting in his late teens. Chris quickly began making a name for himself in competitive bodybuilding.

Chris Dickerson, the Bodybuilder

Dickerson had been competing in bodybuilding competitions for years before winning the Mr. Olympia title. He first started lifting weights in his 20s and quickly fell in love with the sport. Chris competed in his first competition in 1968 and continued to compete until his retirement in 1987. In 1968 he was the Mr. USA – AAU championship. Also, in 1970 Chris won the Mr. America – AAU title. In 1973 and 1974, he won the Mr. Universe – Pro – NABBA tournament. Dickerson competed in 19 Mr. Olympia competitions, with his best result coming in 1982 when he took home the title.

Dickerson’s win in 1982 was especially impressive because he was not even supposed to compete that year. He only entered the contest as a last-minute replacement for another bodybuilder who had to pull out due to injury. Dickerson beat out Arnold Schwarzenegger, Franco Columbu, and Lou Ferrigno – all younger than him – to take home the title. His win proved that age is just a number and that anything is possible if you set your mind to it.

The Last Word on Chris Dickerson, the 1982 Mr. Olympia

Chris Dickerson is a true champion who achieved something extraordinary later in life. His story serves as an inspiration to anyone who has ever set their sights on achieving something great. No matter how old you are or how many years you’ve been training, it’s always possible to achieve your goals if you stay focused and dedicated.
