How Dennis Wolf measures up

Fat-free mass index turns the height and weight on this profile into one number for how much muscle a frame carries, so a shorter competitor is not flattered by a bodyweight comparison. The normalised figure adjusts it again to a standard height, which is the version worth ranking. Both assume the 6% body fat a competitor steps on stage at, because that is the only condition the recorded weight was taken in.

38thOf 316 measured men

The closest Olympia champion on that measure is Dorian Yates, at 35.6.

What this rank is not. This database holds a height and a weight for just 463 athletes, and they are overwhelmingly the ones somebody bothered to measure: 73 of them hold an Olympia title. Almost every competitor on record carries no measurement at all. The pool also mixes every division and era together, from the lightweight women's classes to the open heavyweights, so it ranks size and nothing else. It says where Dennis Wolf sits among the athletes we hold measurements for, not among competitors.

Where these results come from. Each contest in the table was recorded from a named source, and for Dennis Wolf those sources are MuscleMemory and NPC Contests. Open any contest above and that page names its own source and links to it where the source is still reachable. MuscleMemory is the exception: the archive we recorded those older shows from no longer answers at the addresses we hold, so it is credited by name and not offered as a link.

Legacy

Wolf was one of the largest competitors of his era with an unusually small waist, and the combination made him a permanent contender without ever quite winning the biggest one. The 2014 Arnold is what the record rests on.

Sources

Competition placings on this page come from our own contest database and cover 2004 to 2018.

Two of his Olympia rows carry no placement in our source data, so no finish is stated for 2006 or 2009.

Some contests appear twice in the table below because one result was recorded under two division labels. They are single contests.

In 9 meetings, Phil Heath finished ahead of Dennis Wolf 9 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.
