Johnnie Jackson to compete at National Powerlifting championships on 6/28

[Overload]

900 isn't TOO much of a stretch for him.

Word around the watercooler is he has pulled high 800's from the floor already in the gym...

no shit? 

[Overload]

no shit? 

That's the word, not sure how true, but it matches what he has said recently.

[MisterMagoo]

if true, that's insane. i believe it, though. that 765 looked stupid easy for him.

[slaveboy1980]

What does his church have to do with any of this?  Did he consult them before posing for musclegallery or hitting juice?  

trying to hide/compensate...just like sian rai et al

yeah?

i still doubt he will get 900...

[Overload]

It is definately a stretch, but i think it would be cool if he did!

[spinnis]

He probably takes a Big dose of halo the day of the comp.. And gets that 900!

[Matt C]

Yes it did.  I would assume he is capable of a lot more.

[MisterMagoo]

Yes it did.  I would assume he is capable of a lot more.

he's one of those dudes just built to pull. low to the ground, good arm length, it doesn't look like he has to fight to keep form or anything. almost looked like speed reps.

[Fatpanda]

has he stopped working out with milos then 

[tleilaxutank]

From his website "I will competing at the United States Powerlifting Federation National Championships June 28-29, in Warwick Rhode Island at the Airport Sheraton. I'll be entering the 275lb weight class and attempting a 600lb bench press and a 900lb deadlift.

I will will be doing the Europa Pro and Atlantic City after that, with the Olympi to follow.

I am currently doing a camp with my church in Hurst Texas the entire month of June. It's the Mercy Seat Military Academy for troubled kids ages 12 to 18."

You can see the youtube videos there toohttp://www.johnnieojackson.com

that's cool...he's coming to my hometown!

[genrommel74]

has he stopped working out with milos then 

He only trains with Milos precontest

[rienzope]

He pulled 810 at 244 pounds in 2004.  So 900 at 275 seems very doable.

I hung out with Johnnie over the weekend and after seeing him in person I couldn't say that he won't pull it.  He looks like he could lift a house.  Heck of a nice guy too.

How much did you pay him for that "hanging out session"?
