Is it true that he only lifted weights for three years before he became mr olympia? i would ask this in the competitive bodybuilders forum...but it takes like 2 weeks for 1 answer?

Dorian didn't compete until almost 3 years after he turned pro. He wanted to make sure he could win when he entered his first pro show. That's probably what they were referring to.
