who was the individual photographed on the cover of Bodyopus...?
« on: May 21, 2009, 04:37:47 PM »
This has been a question i have pondered for a while.  anyone with knowledge on that whole early 90s, west coast, Venice Beach, Dan Duchaine scene......able to identify the gentleman photographed on the cover of this book, an obvious beneficiary of Duchaine's chemical wizardry.  this guy redefines leanness in this picture (the picture i am posting is not that good of an image, it probably wont do the guy justice. I have never before or since seen a man so lean... in the picture, he is so shredded, he almost has no skin, and actually puts that famous Andres Munzer Crab photo everyone posts on here to shame....so ......anyone know who he is......or was???

By the way you framed that question, it's obvious you know who it is.

He's dead.

Hopstaken huh......thank you.....i googled his name.....big suprise.....DEAD

"In fact, a picture of Hans is featured on the cover of the book, "Bodyopus" by the late bodybuilding writer/guru Dan Duchaine. Hans attained bodybuilding success from very humble beginnings as a result of extraordinarily hard, focused training as well as meticulous planning and perserverence. I and many others who new Hans will miss him greatly".

miss......would you care to speak to my original question....i have never seen a bodybuilder with bodyfat that low, and competitors today cannot get  even remotly near that.
can you shed any light on what the hell exactly dan had him doing to get so emaciated (i mean that in a good way).  and if your gonna say he had stong dietary willpower i will save you the response :)

duchaine didn't have anything to do with it... if I recall correctly they didn't know each other in that regard.

That is correct...Duchaine had nothing to do with Hans and in fact i'm not even sure they met  before.
