Ha - Hany does not strut around the shows. Hany is there like many others making sure his competitors do well, and for advice. Hany's track record in the past few years is very good, very consistent, and probably one of the best right now out there. Like it or not, he is good.
I find it funny that people think that photographers, advisors and others strut around. We are all there enjoying the contest, as many people are.
Do you realize that in California, the NPC shows are breaking record competitors and crowds, more than in the past 5 years. The atmospher is nice, and this past weekend, the Contra Costa SOLD OUT at night. In two weeks (Memorial Day Weekend), the NPC California is in Culver City, where 140+ or more competitors will be competing.
Hany will be there, so will I, and so will many others. Hany is also going to be in NY this weekend.
By the way, Hany's deal with Jay was to get him fuller and better in his off season prep work, not going into the contest. I think two time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler knows what to do, although sometimes a second eye can help in the final stretch.
People go to Hany because he is good... very good....
If he wasn't, they wouldn't use him.
