The 42-year-old will now have to wear his arm in a sling for four weeks and will not be able to load the limb for a total of about eight weeks.
Dennis first hit the bodybuilding world in 2005 when he made his way to the title of undisputed world amateur champion in the IFBB. A year later, he performed among the pros, including on the podium of the main show, Mr. Olympia. He reached the peak of his career in 2013 and 2014 when he took the Olympia bronze medal within a few months and then won the Arnold Classic North American Sports Festival.
In 2016, Wolf’s competitive career was interrupted. He had to undergo surgery, during which doctors removed small fragments of bone that suppress the nerve in the vertebrae C4 – C5 – C6 – C7.
In the spring of 2018, he tried to return, but at both the Arnold Classic USA and the subsequent Arnold Classic Australia, he failed to achieve good results. In recent years, Dennis, like many other former professionals, has been working in the fitness industry.
