About This List

Best win percentage among athletes with at least 5 pro appearances. The leaderboard is counted from the documented contest results in our archive, professional shows only, with no weighting for the size of a show and no hand-typed totals. A long run of wins at smaller pro shows therefore counts the same here as a run of flagship ones, which is why this list and the Olympia and Arnold title lists do not agree with each other.

Click any athlete to open their full career profile, including complete contest history and head-to-head matchups.

What the record shows beyond this list

This page ranks athletes. These six studies run the same archive the other way round, asking what the whole body of results says about how titles are won, at what age, and by whom. Each states its own sample and date range.
