Jusup Wilkosz is a German bodybuilder. He competed in
weightlifting before turning to bodybuilding. In the
mid-1970s, Wilkosz trained with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
During his career, he also met Tom Platz, Franco Columbu,
Chris Dickerson and many other famous athletes. Several
injuries forced him to end his career before reaching its
potential peak. In 1994 Jusup Wilkosz intended to prepare
for the Mr. Olympia Masters, but was stopped by
injuries again. Contests include the 1979 Mr. Universe
1st; 1981 Mr. Olympia 6th; 1983 Mr. Olympia 6th; 1983 Grand
Prix Switzerland 4th; 1983 Grand Prix Sweden 3rd; 1983 Grand
Prix World 3rd; 1984 Mr. Olympia 3rd place.
In
spring 2007 a semi-fictional novel about Wilkosz's life was
published in Germany. Its title is "Was bleibt. Die Reise
des Jusup W." (engl.: What remains. The Journey of Jusup
W.) and leads the reader back to the 70s and 80s, a time
that is often considered the golden age of bodybuilding.
The
reader looks through the eyes of legendary Jusup Wilkosz,
whose life is characterized by great success in overcoming
enormous obstacles. This perspective offers also deep
insights in the world of bodybuilding and a closer look at
Arnold Schwarzenegger, who used to train with Mr. Wilkosz
during his competitive career.
Due
to the big success, that the novel have had since its
publication in Germany, it will be translated into English.
The German based publishing company plans to introduce the
novel to the American market in March 2008.
