Found the real True Adonis!
« on: April 11, 2014, 07:05:39 PM »
We have our resident True Adonis, Adam. However, the guy who got me started lifting weights was a real Adonis! He was German and a roofer working in Canada. He worked in Kamloops in the late fifties and I got to know him from Riverside Park. He had a mate Udo who was a real life Farnese Hercules. Udo ended up doing professional wrestling and even though he had huge muscles he was a gymnast and could do diving and all manner of acrobatics. Hans was more the body beautiful who had a go at trying some of the things Udo did.

Here is an old photo of Hans. Like I said, the real Adonis.

I think it was like 11 years ago on mayhem there was a big thread about TA not being the real TA.

Udo Froelich changed his name to Eric when wrestling. I can tell you the guy was a Hercules. He was 5-11 and well over 200 pounds of muscle. A natural mesomorph because he didn't believe in lifting weights.

I caught up with Hans Gensow in Vancouver in 2004. He was over 70 and still did some training at home with crude equipment. Big Jim Forsythe was there, too, and he was the guy who beat me in arm wrestling at the Mr Canada show in 1970. Jim is a funny guy and we both shook our heads when Hans took off his shirt. I mean, what was he doing? Jim and I were a bit off season if you know what I mean. Anyway, if was a fun occasion talking about the old times. Hans found out I had taken some Dianabol in 1970 and he gave me a look I will never forget. Sometimes it doesn't pay to be honest.

LOL, the old homo accusation. Nope, none of the guys above are gay. Sorry. Photos taken by my girlfriend, Heather. I think Hans took off his shirt to impress her. Darn, he looked better in person than what you see in the photo. It was as if he didn't age much at all from the last time I saw him which was decades ago.

We all think that money doesn't matter. Well, let me tell you it is nice when a gal is rich. Oh, yes, no homo, but I always liked diamond rings so she let me wear a couple of 3 and 5 carat ones. Don't look gay on me, though!  :D

That's an 11 year old Benz, for a rich woman she's rather cheap.

I am not an expert on anabolics. Neither do I have much info on what was being used and for how long in those days. I tried 2 Dianabol tablets a day for 6 weeks. Off for a month then on until the contest for a month. That was it. Gained some size the first couple of weeks and got stronger. When I went off some of the size went, too. I guess it made a difference. Today most would say I looked like a fitness competitor.

Vince, so you are saying that this guy is over 70 years old?

How do some people age so gracefully?

Thanks Dr. C. 

Goodrum and others spread lies about my having to leave Canada. I have never had a criminal record. I left Canada because my wife was pregnant and I went to Australia to find a job. It paid off and I got a job teaching high school.

Lebensborn genetics, perhaps?   I've met more than a few such individuals and while it is not relegated to a single "race" of humanity the Germans really had a lock on this stuff back in the days of the Reich. 

Older German-Americans (i.e., Germans who have immigrated to America, not just people with German surnames born here)  I've spoken with have a great deal of distain for their country now, some saying it will never rise again because the vast majority of that which made them "superior" if you will, was killed during WWII, those that survived are either too old now or diluted their bloodlines via mixing races when they fled their homeland after the war.  They claim that those that stayed in Germany have been so guilt ridden by the rest of the world for what happened in WWII that they have been reduced to a race of "muschi" (German for vagina or pussy) now.

In other words, as one older German told me many years ago, their country gets fucked on a regular basis for sins long past and being the bunch of wimps they are now, his countrymen take it like the pussies they are.

Great thread, Vince.  Thanks!
