3x 212 Olympia, 2009–2011
Kevin English
Kevin English won the Olympia's under-202 class three years running, in 2009, 2010 and 2011, and the New York Pro four times. At 5 feet 4 inches he was one of the densest competitors the light divisions have had.
Known for
The Olympia record in the capped division reads second in 2008, then first, first and first. Three consecutive titles in a class that was still called the 202 Showdown when he started winning it and the 212 by the time he stopped.
The New York Pro was his other stronghold. He won it in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012, which no other competitor in the division has matched.
Early career
His recorded career opens in 1996. He won three amateur titles in 1998 alone, the Atlantic States Championships, the Junior Nationals and the Nationals, and then did not appear again in our record until 2008.
That comeback year produced a New York Pro win and second place at the Olympia. The three titles followed immediately. He placed third in 2013 and competed for the last time in 2015.

Where the titles came from
Counted from the same results table below: an appearance is one contest entered (in the years the Olympia also judged weight classes, one appearance can carry two placings), an Olympia title is the overall win in that division, and Top 3 counts first, second and third together. The last row is every professional contest on record for Kevin English.

Where these results come from. Each contest in the table was recorded from a named source, and for Kevin English 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.

Physique benchmark
How Kevin English 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.
32.5FFMI
33.6Normalised FFMI
73rdOf 316 measured men
The closest Olympia champion on that measure is Phil Heath, at 33.7.
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: 74 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 Kevin English sits among the athletes we hold measurements for, not among competitors.
Amateur and other shows not counted above

Legacy
The 212 division exists because competitors like English proved a capped class could be as competitive as the open one. Three Olympia titles and four New York Pros is the record that made the argument.
Most-met rivals
Compare any two athletes →In 8 meetings, Kevin English and David Henry are dead even, finishing ahead 4 times apiece.
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.
