I wouldn't define Hans as a real pro..great bodybuilder but not really tearing it up on the pro stage.
No, you're right he didn't "tear" up a pro stage besides coming in 4th and 5th in his Master's shows after only having his "pro" card (same flimsy piece of paper that Jay has, Ronnie has, Chick has, Lee has and so on) for a year...he was up against "older" legends (beating A LOT of them) and i do understand that. When he did the Ironman and SF Pro there was no way he was going to "tear" up that stage either and he knew that he just wanted to be there and he was.
How about you? What have you done in this healthy bodybuilding world?
