One last Olympia ride for Johnnie O. Jackson.
The Olympia features the greatest bodybuilders in the world, all of which have earned their spot on stage through hard work, dedication, and big victories throughout the year. For thirteen straight years Johnnie O. Jackson has competed against the best of the best, which in itself is a feat that few can lay claim to. But after competing at the highest levels of bodybuilding for over a decade, it appears that Johnnie O. Jackson is finally calling it quits.
One of the strongest bodybuilders out there, Johnnie O. Jackson has participated in both powerlifting and bodybuilding with exceptional results. For a time he was known as the strongest pro bodybuilder until that title was taken over by Stan Efferding. Johnnie O. Jackson has won many competitions in both bodybuilding and powerlifting over the years and has built up a loyal following of fans and supporters. But all journeys come to an end at some time and it appears that Jackson’s is coming to a conclusion at the 2017 Olympia.
Competing against the best of the best on the Olympia stage is no simple task and Johnnie O. Jackson has been able to consistently find his way to the stage for thirteen years straight. While many people focus on the winner of the Olympia, the truth of the matter is that in order for champions to be respected they must face off against those that are truly considered the best of the best in of their generation. Johnnie O. Jackson is certainly one of those individuals. Take a look at the post below as Jackson preps himself for his final Olympia competition.
