The Dutch Beast

Roelly ‘The Dutch Beast’ Winklaar first came to national prominence in the US with his overall win at the 2009 IFBB Arnold Amateur Championships, displaying a rare combination of massive size and shredded conditioning that heralded big things to come.

After earning his pro card, Roelly returned for the 2010 IFBB Arnold Classic and turned plenty of heads with an eye-popping physique that earned him a strong seventh-place finish in a deep field in his IFBB debut. After placing third at the 2010 IFBB Australia Pro Grand Prix, Roelly shocked the bodybuilding world by winning the 2010 IFBB New York Pro. Seemingly out of nowhere, a new star was born.
