"PICS" 10 weeks out!!

[powerlifterjay]

For those that remeber me here are some pics of me getting ready for my show. I am 217lbs in these pics. Even though i am not training fro strenght right now i am still pretty strong considering. I might not go over 600 on the bench right now,but i am probably just 2months from it, if that is what i wanted. I am pretty amazed to know you can be quit lean and keep alot of strength. In fact i have made probably 4 PR's on my deadlift getting ready for this show.

I know this is a powerlifting board so save the flames!! I did my time here!! LOL

[BodybuildingUniverse]

the years of the heavy weights have paid off man, you just dont get that thickness doing baby weights. where's your dead at now?

 

[powerlifterjay]

Well needless to say i am nto doing one rep maxes. But i did like 585 in the gym last June. But i pulled 700x1 in the rack from my knee prior to that. Last week i pulled 775lb x2 reps. After 675x6. From the floor i do 5's with 500lbs. No gear. So i dont know what it will be. When i get a good pull going in a contest or in the gym its usually my grip that goes in my left hand. BUt i do know its more then it was!!

 

[Parabellum]

Nice.

How are yiou injury's healing? If I remeber correctly you tore a pec and then decided to try a bodybuilding contest.

 

[powerlifterjay]

The injury is gettign better as far as trainig goes. But i havent really tested it either. It wasnt a pec tear though, it was my bicep tendon in my delt. I popped it out of its groove. And the inflamation was ungodly! I havent flat benced since Nov. I am happy i can still train on it though.

For all you benchers out there It happened with the low bar placement in my shirt. Too far forward and pop!! Be carefull not to go to low to often.

 

[t3c]

i really like the physique...that just goes to show what a good powerlifting base can do for a bodybuilder. wasn't ronnie coleman a powerlifter too?

 

[argent]

Jay you look very good bro. You should do well in your meet. My only suggestion is for you to lower your hands in your lower in the second picture. It is blocking the view of your pecs and it will be a much more effective shot for you that way.

 

[Vulgar_Display_Of_Power]

Good Job and Good Luck Jay..

What bodyweight did you come down from(260ish?).

So thats what 217 looks like in shape-guess I need to get my ass to work.

Later..

 

[powerlifterjay]

Well i started the diet at 245lbs. The 260 wasnt my normal walk aorund weight. I bulked up in between meets to gain strength. Manily water though. I was pretty bloated. And i stayed over 260 for just a short time. I did hang over 250 for awhile though. Again with a good bit of water weight. The 240 to 245 area i am not holding as much. But have 16 to 17% BF. When i return to powerlifting i wanna hang at 12 and under and go around 225 to 230lbs. Make weight for 220's.

Argent, yes i see that too. The guy who took my pics was seated though at the time those were shot. But there are actually quite a few poses i wanna change up. You dont realize hwo they look til you see them on a pic. I got hours of posing to do so i will work on them! Every week is much, i wil post more as i get closer.
