I own the movie "Pumping Iron". I really think its great. In one part, Mike Katz talks about himself, u know, growing, bodybuilding, etc, and as you know, then, he was an amateur bodybuilder, therefore he competed in the Mr Universe. That year he placed 4th, Ken Waller took the overall title that year. Well i was wondering if Mike Katz ever did when the Mr. Universe. Also Im wondering if he ever did turn professional. One last thing i would like to know is if the Mr. Universe contest still exists.

Nah he couldnt of won it in 1972, because remember, he was trying to win it in 1975, and he stated that this was his fifth year trying to win the Mr universe.

If you can dream it, if you can imagine it, then you can be it, you can do it. If it is meaningful enough, and you commit the energy of your passion, you will.
