There has been a growing amount of speculation in the sport of bodybuilding with regards to whether or not Mr. Olympia Brandon Curry will, in fact, be retiring from the sport. When the news broke that him and longtime coach, Abdullah had parted ways it sent shockwaves throughout the sport. But their break was not the typical one. These were two very, very good friends that continue to be so and did great things together. Sometimes coaches and clients simply part ways, but the fact is Brandon is in his 40s and his placings have not improved over the years has led to speculation. That’s not to say that they are not good places and that is definitely not to say that he is not capable of winning another Olympia. But he went from placing Top 5 to then winning his first Sandow to then taking a couple of run-ups and then a couple of fourth places. These are tremendous placings and he has never left the prestigious Top 5, but he has not been able to claim a second Sandow.
