Chris Dickerson - Mr. Olympia 1982

He was the youngest of triplets, with brothers Alfred and John preceding him by a matter of minutes. After graduated college in New York in 1963, Chris came to visit his aunt in Los Angeles, where he met Bill Pearl, who became his mentor and guided Chris training.
Chris was inducted into the Joe Weider's Hall of Fame in the year 2000. Chris was featured on the first cover of Flex Magazine, the April 1983 issue. 
In addition to the 1982 IFBB Mr. Olympia, Dickerson won nine other IFBB pro shows in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, making him one of the most successful competitors of all time. Something of a Renaissance man, Dickerson studied music and is an accomplished opera singer – no wonder, that his posing routines were always pure theater. 
Chris' career spanned 30 years and included over 50 contests. Over the decades, he built a dense and symmetrical physique augmented by a dramatic style of posing.
