Data updated
Known for
The 2008 Olympia 202 Showdown was the first time the capped division was contested at the Olympia and Henry won it. He was runner-up in 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013 and, apart from a ninth place in 2014, stayed in the top six until 2018.
He competed at fifteen Olympias between 2005 and 2020, one of the longest runs in this database, and he was second at the 2014 Arnold Classic.
Early career
He won the middleweight class at the 2002 Nationals and the Olympia Wildcard Showdown in 2005. The professional wins run from the Tampa Pro in 2008 and 2009 through the Sheru Classic and Europa SuperShow in 2012 to the Legion Sports Fest Pro in 2019 and, in the masters class, 2021.
His competition schedule is one of the heaviest in the corpus.
Championship record
Where the titles came from
Counted from the same results table below: an appearance is one contest entered (in the years the Olympia also judged weight classes, one appearance can carry two placings), an Olympia title is the overall win in that division, and Top 3 counts first, second and third together. The last row is every professional contest on record for David Henry.

Physique benchmark
How David Henry measures up
Fat-free mass index turns the height and weight on this profile into one number for how much muscle a frame carries, so a shorter competitor is not flattered by a bodyweight comparison. The normalised figure adjusts it again to a standard height, which is the version worth ranking. Both assume the 6% body fat a competitor steps on stage at, because that is the only condition the recorded weight was taken in.
31.4FFMI
32.3Normalised FFMI
106thOf 316 measured men
The closest Olympia champion on that measure is Lee Haney, at 32.1.
What this rank is not. This database holds a height and a weight for just 463 athletes, and they are overwhelmingly the ones somebody bothered to measure: 74 of them hold an Olympia title. Almost every competitor on record carries no measurement at all. The pool also mixes every division and era together, from the lightweight women’s classes to the open heavyweights, so it ranks size and nothing else. It says where David Henry sits among the athletes we hold measurements for, not among competitors.
Professional results
Every professional contest result on record for David Henry, 67 in all. The table opens on the first 15 and expands in place from there. Nothing sits on a separate page. Won by names the winner of the division David Henry competed in, and shows a dash where that winner cannot be pinned to one person in the database.

Where these results come from. Each contest in the table was recorded from a named source, and for David Henry those sources are MuscleMemory and NPC Contests. Open any contest above and that page names its own source and links to it where the source is still reachable. MuscleMemory is the exception: the archive we recorded those older shows from no longer answers at the addresses we hold, so it is credited by name and not offered as a link.
Amateur and other shows not counted above
4 results from amateur shows and other contests this archive does not class as professional. Every total on this page covers the professional career only, so these are listed here but never counted, and they have no contest page.

David Henry division journey
Legacy
The 212 division exists in its current form partly because the 2008 experiment worked, and Henry is the man who won it. He did it while serving full time in the Air Force, which is not a combination the sport has produced twice.
Sources
Competition placings on this page come from our own contest database and cover his professional record from 2004 to 2024.
His Air Force service and his status as the first 202 Olympia champion are carried from the biography previously held against his record in our corpus.
In 2008 he entered both the open class and the new 202 class at the New York Pro, the Tampa Pro and the Olympia, so those three contests carry two placings each.
In 11 meetings, Gustavo Badell finished ahead of David Henry 11 times to 0.
Opponents are ranked by how often they shared a stage and how big the stage was, not by reputation. A meeting is one contest where both competed in the same division and both were placed.
