maybe his conditioning could be better, or is there something in his personal history that is preventing him from winning...

He  also might be using this as a trial run and is still dieting for the Arnold. Flex used to do this with the Ironman, and used it as a gauge for the Arnold.

Parker, wait a second -- that's unheard of! Bodybuilders don't do that.   :D

He has the makings of a champ. He's kinda like the Chris Cormier of today...except Chris actually won contests...and beat Flex at the 2000 Ironman.

Flexb, yeah, it was one of the smartest things Flex did. Come in full for the Arnold, use your shape to beat them, then come in diced for the Arnold and a big payday.

I mean the guy has top sponsors, lots of fan support, could hire the best trainers ie Hany, George etc.  Yet this guy seems to just either not put 100% into his diet prep, or he just doesn't care anymore.  I mean why after this many years of competing as a pro can he not get in shape?. IMO time for JJ to retire, maybe focus on powerlifiting, or try and do some strong man shows.




he was never really grainy enough at the higher levels of comp.  :'(

Looks like age is hitting him a bit.

It looks as if age is particularly hitting his LEGS.

dude's a powerlifter, been a bodybuilder forever, and drinks a lot of sprite.

That kind of combination is deadly on the knee joints.

Bro, when was the last time you saw JoJ dialed in like that? Not since that show probably...

You are right, but damn was he on in that pic! Got potential written all over it!

Chris should have won the Arnold the next week too. But Flex came back and got the win based on his name...or at least that's how I remember it.

Then Flex was pissed off at Chris because Chris was voicing his opinion that Flex shouldn't have won.

Chris was cutting Flex up in some articles, or I should say talking about some of Flex' body parts chris felt were "inferior." It came off as bitterness towards Flex for winning
