Common knowledge to whom?
Do you know Jay? Have you seen him step on a scale? Or is this what the internet experts all "know."
The beauty of the internet is it is the ultimate tool of oppression to those seeking to progress in bodybuilding.
I love when people on the internet speak as experts. What people don't seem to understand is that if all these "experts" knew what the hell they were talking about, they wouldn't be on the internet, they'd be off winning shows.
I'll assume your inability to assess sarcasm belies your high level of intelligence. lol
Met him several times but I would not call us buds...no, I do not know everything about him. That said, we all know what Jay's contest weight is, this is put right in front of us for all to see. When it's offseason weight, no, we don't have official weighins to gauge this by, just what the individual says and how he looks...it's not to hard to tell if someone who claims to be 300lbs is telling the truth.
As for being an expert, yes, I am an expert. To steel some of GH15's favorite words, you know nothing about me or who I am or what I've done. you can take whatever I say on here and do whatever you like with it...I could care less. Everyone on this board knows who the good guys on here are.
