Joe, It was a very constructive and positive experience being trained by and being tested by Heinz Senior IFBB PRO. Miami and Propta, as well as myself are very lucky to have Heinz as a Personal Trainer and Propta Director. I will relate this story to help highlight the importance of individuals such as Heinz. Initially upon discovering Propta I tried to see if the local Golds gym could somehow find its way to support Propta in some manner. I was very disappointed in the response I received. Something along the lines of why would we want that here. I wondered what was the meaning of the rebuff. Much to my chagrin it was bodybuilding and the IFBB being labeled a meat-head syndrome. I myself have always been led by the bodybuilding spirit while exercising in the gym and amazed by its vast amount of science, whether I considered myself a bodybuilder or not. I can look back today and realize this, however never knew what it was in all those Muscle and Fitness, Flex, Musclemag International, Muscular Development magazines and cutting edge supplements by Weider, Champion, Twinlabs as well as the others that kept me going. The unknown soldier of the fitness world, the spirit of bodybuilding, gives even to those of us that do not realize its presence. The general fitness public just isn’t well aware of or educated in what science, motivation, spirit and care that bodybuilding and its people bring to the training table for each and every one of us, regardless of our fitness pursuits. Heinz’s presentation was and is exemplary as well as informative and goes a long way to dispel all the myths and negative imaging that go along with bodybuilding and being a bodybuilder as veiwed by an unaware public. I sure wish the manager of the Golds Gym could have seen and heard Propta Director Heinz Senior on the topic of personal training and the training of others. I think his response would be more like, we sure need that here! I look back and think about the many that were lost along the way for whatever reason or have passed on. The Metzners, Vince, Bertil, Dan and the many other knowns and unknowns with different names yet similar stories and experiences that have occurred in similar yet different ways. One thing rings true continually, in reality, United we Stand and with the likes of Propta and Heinz Senior exemplifying what we have all strove to be and create in ourselves as well as others, we will all, each and every one of us, live on in the spirit of bodybuilding, forevermore.
