It's
said that real passion is one which turns even the most average mortal
into a virtuoso. All you need is to keep mixing your fervor with hard
work and no one would be able to stop you from reaching the stars. One
such story that reminds us of this is that of Dennis Wolf, a noted
German IFBB professional body builder who reached the top by
transforming all his limitations to his strengths.
Dennis was born on October 30 th , 1978 in Tokmok , Kyrgyzstan
. He
rose to fame particularly with his performance in the 2008 Mr. Olympia
contest where he placed fourth just next to Phil Heath. What makes
Wolf's personality stand apart is his ‘V' shape body produced by an
extremely thin waist contrasted by the widest shoulders in the history
of body building. However, the areas which failed him were his
comparatively small calves, lower back and lat area. This, nonetheless
never made him lose hope and instead worked harder than he possibly
could to ensure he is among the top slot in all his contests.
Dennis has to his credit a score of titles which has
maintained his
position among the top brass all along. He made his debut in 1999 with
NRW Newcomer Championships, heavyweight in which he graciously bagged
the second place. In the same year he was placed fourth at the
International NRW Championships in the heavyweight category. His year
wise roll of honors includes International NRW Championships,
heavyweight and overall ,winner and International German Championships,
heavyweight, 4 th (2000), Amateur Belgian Grand Prix, Winner (2002),
NRW Championships, heavyweight, overall, winner and German
Championships, heavyweight, 2nd (2004), NRW Championships, German
Championships and World Amateur Bodybuilding Championships
(heavyweight, overall, winner, 2005), Europa Super Show, 7th ,Montreal
Pro, 5 th , Grand Prix Spain, 3 rd and Mr. Olympia ,
16 th , tied (2006).The year 2007 saw him in the New York Pro placed
third, Keystone Pro Classic placed first and Mr. Olympia where he
placed fifth.
Wolf's is 5'11” in height with latest statistics being waist –
29”,
arms – 22”, legs – 31” and calves-17”. During off seasons, he weighs
280 pounds and competition weight is 260 pounds.
Wolf's continues to work hard with all that he has achieved,
which
indeed is an inspiration that passion should never get tainted by
recognition. One should never look back and keep journeying until you
reach the stars. However, there's a world even beyond that. A place
where the world waits for you to give back to it all that it has given
to you in your own little way possible!
