1984 IFBB Mr. Universe

[alfresco]

That is too weird. I was at that contest too . . . in the audience of course.

I took some fotos backstage. I will have to find the prints and scan and
post them. Would be cool if you were in them.

These are the only fotos I could find that I took at the 1984 IFBB Mr. Universe
contest, held at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, NV. Sorry they are not very good
quality. Wasn’t a very good photographer back them . . . not much of one now

Sadly, Emeric Delczeg is not pictured, although he did compete as a middle
weight. I think Mike Christian (below) won the contest, with Berry de May
taking second. Emeric may remember more.

 

[Bio]

Mike Christian had Mr. Olympia potential...just bring up the legs. Too bad cocaine kept him from his dreams.

It was my first Mr.Univers contest, I did to much cardio for the show and I was probably the only natural competitor. This is from backstage.

My first thought is that you got robbed then I saw Lee’s name and thought losing to him, yea, hard to beat.

Who here can say they have competed against one of the greats.

Looking good as always Emeric.

Amazing natural physique. I'd put it up there with some of the best old schools ever like Reeves or Grimek. If not equal than DAMN CLOSE. Truly impressive.

 

[Hatchet]

Ageless Muscle!
