When they used to have the Master Olympia back in the 90’s, the guys who were over 40, but still eligible to compete in the Open (regular) Olympia would always be the top guys (and ALWAYS the winner). We’re going to see the same thing here.
Oh, and Yates is only guest posing, which I must say, I’m glad about. I know he either never had, or had too late, the surgery in his torn bicep, and if you haven’t seen any recent pics, it looks just horrible. I’d prefer to remember him in his prime.

I’ve trained with him (not WITH him, but in the same gym) recently and can vouch they the dude is still built like a brick wall. Thick as all hell too. He could walk onto a stage without dieting and still be impressive.
Thats quite the Line up, I’d love to see what some of the old timers look like now, especially Padilla.
