A physical Injury of the Musculoskeletal System drove him towards the weights. He started with special strength training and turned to lifting weights in an attempt to rehabilitate himself back to health!

He won the German Seniors Championship at the age of 61, with his passing age, his passion for the weights got stronger and stronger.

Heinz is seen as a spectacle by many, in the fact that he just seems to defy many laws of aging!
