trains back
I've been saying this all along -
At 10 weeks out, Jay looked 20 weeks out. He was definitely behind track and he has just about caught up. He did it. However, the amount of stress he has had to put his body through seems to be a lot more than what the other guys are going through, as well as a lot more than what he went through other years. Seeing the daily videos only verifies this.
We've seen Jay training at 1:30 AM, using profanity against Shawn Ray, etc. A whole new Jay. New levels of intensity, YES. But also new levels of stress and pressure. he's done so much in the last 8 weeks... and the O is only 15 days away now. I believe, from looking at that video that Jay is gonna get the flu in the next few days. Dude just looks way more exhausted, stringy, and weak than he should at this point. Way more than the other guys have at this point.
I hope he takes a few days rest this week, consumes a lot of Vitamin C, and stays healthy. Dude looks beyond exhausted on that video. The blank stare. The FLATNESS of his muscles... Ramy and Phi are pumped and rounded, halfway through a back video. Compare this to the Ramy back training video from a few days ago, completely different.
Jay has proven himself to be a warrior by training this hard and making this kind of change over 8 weeks. No doubt about it. Stay healthy Jay! You look great - have a cheat meal and take a day or two off. Let your body heal a bit. You'll do fine at the O.
