The Mr America is the thread. He was second overall in 1968, won the short class in 1970, was second again in 1971 and took the Most Muscular award in the same year.

Around that he won the Mr California in 1968, Mr Los Angeles in 1968, Mr West Coast in 1967, and was runner-up at Mr International in 1971 and 1972.

Early career

His record opens in 1955 with third at Mr Los Angeles and runs to 1972. Twenty-five contests, nine wins, and a long stretch in the middle where he placed second at almost everything.

Where these results come from. Each contest in the table was recorded from a named source, and for Charles Collras that source is MuscleMemory. Open any contest above and that page names its own source and links to it where the source is still reachable. That archive no longer answers at the addresses we hold, so it is credited by name here and not offered as a link.

Legacy

Collras was a fixture of the California scene through the years it was becoming the centre of the sport, and finished second at the Mr America twice without ever taking it. The record is a good description of how deep that era was.

Sources

Competition placings on this page come from our own contest database and cover 1955 to 1972.

Contests of this era awarded a height or weight CLASS title and then a separate OVERALL title, and several also gave a Most Muscular award. In the table below, a class win and an overall placing at the same contest are both correct and are not a contradiction, and a Most Muscular row is an award given at that contest rather than a win of it.

In 4 meetings, Chris Dickerson finished ahead of Charles Collras 4 times to 0.

Opponents are ranked by how often they shared a stage and how big the stage was, not by reputation. A meeting is one contest where both competed in the same division and both were placed.
