Retired from Air force in his mid 40’s so I guess he is bored and keeps doing BB.

I am surprised they hosted a pro show in Japan.  Not really known for big guys.  While they have some guys that are well built, it's a very small number.   And you hardly ever know it until they take their shirts off.  Also, the gyms are kind of on the inadequate side.  Basically like a much smaller version of Planet Fitness.  Machines, dumbbells max at 75lbs, other than leg press and smith machine, no free weights or plate loaded machines.  You may find a few in the two biggest chains  Golds Gym and Anytime Fitness, but they are rare.  There are other places known as "training facilities" which are basically public gyms, but they are usually swarmed by women and kids.  The video game corporation Konami is an example.  They have a dozen or so Konami Sports Club all over.  But you are not going to really "work out" there.  You are just going to wait in line to use exercise equipment.  If that makes sense. 
Nearly all the gyms follow the same rules.
No tattoos
No supersets
No chalk
No outdoor shoes.  Which is why I don't really go to gyms over here.  By outdoor shoes, it basically means ANY shoes.  Not barefooted, but whatever shoes you walked in wearing.   You actually have to bring a separate pair of work out shoes with you.  Even if you walk in to the gym wearing sneakers or training shoes, you have to have ANOTHER pair with you.   You have to take off whatever shoes you are wearing when you walk in and change into another pair before even going into the locker room.  They even restrict you from wearing your shoes when you go to the bathroom to take a piss.  You have to change into "toilet slippers" (that they provide).   Some staff members sort of let you slip by on this, but the majority do not.  Gatekeeper Syndrome.

I leave for Japan this Friday and if I get a chance I will take some photos of one of the gyms.

For real.

I got these when I was there last year.

These things still are one of the best pair of shoes I have ever had.  Shoes, Kagami/Edo Crystal, and kitchen knives.  Best in the world you will ever find is in Japan.

His wife used to train with IFBB pro Carla Salotti who I know.......they lived and trained in the same gym with me in my hometown and used to work backstage for Jan Tana.

Once I moved up here one of my buddies back home (RIP) saw Henry and his wife at the gym and he told me that Henry was a real fucking prick who thought his shit didn`t stink.

Well, if someone steps on bum shit on the outside and then goes to the leg press, it is a shitty situation. To be avoided.

It's a culture thing actually.

You don't see bums in Tokyo.  Now you see what is known as "salary men" who are expected to put in 10-12 hours a day at their jobs (not counting the hour or more each way their commute takes) sleeping on benches and in cafes at times.  I remember one client who was on her first trip to Japan remarked "wow, their homeless people are so well dressed".

From wiki:
Iris' current boyfriend is Marc Goldstein who is a finance executive. She had previously been in a 7-year relationship with her training and business partner Hidetada Yamagishi, along with previously dating bodybuilder John J. Sherman.[40] Despite having described her political views as liberal,[81] she voted for fellow bodybuilding icon Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, during his bid for Governor of California.[82] She is fluent in German and Spanish.[81][83]

Agreed.  You can tell the quads are starting to fade but he still looks great.  I always thought 202 and even 212 weren't good for him.  He was top ten in the open and could have remained there for years with just sublte improvements. 

@Lurker - would love to hear any anecdotal tales of what makes him a prick.  Not doubting you at all, just interested is all.

It’s very highly likely Henry stems from small cock syndrome. That’s why he acts that way
