About
Larry Dee Scott, nicknamed "the Legend" and "the Golden Boy," was an American IFBB professional bodybuilder. He won the inaugural 1965 Mr. Olympia competition and defended the crown at the 1966 Mr. Olympia contest before retiring. He also won the Mr. America title in 1962 and the Mr. Universe title in 1964. With his Olympia victory in 1965, Scott became the first man to win the three major titles of his era. A student of Vince Gironda, he became best known for his arm development, particularly his impressive and unusually long biceps. He was inducted into the IFBB Hall of Fame in 1999.

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 Larry Scott.

Physique benchmark
How Larry Scott 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.
29.9FFMI
30.4Normalised FFMI
140thOf 316 measured men
The closest Olympia champion on that measure is Sergio Oliva, at 30.4, the same figure.
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 Larry Scott sits among the athletes we hold measurements for, not among competitors.

Most-met rivals
Compare any two athletes →Only 2 head-to-head meetings on record so far, with Larry Scott ahead 2 to 0 - too thin to call a rivalry yet.
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.
No win rate is shown. With 4 recorded contest results on file, a single placing would move the figure by twenty points or more, so the percentage would describe how much of this career the database holds rather than anything about the athlete. The counts above are neither rounded nor capped.
