I really like Jay cause he's similar to Dorian in having blue collar work ethics, is much accomplished, humble and a class act all around - you never hear anyone say a bad word about him and I'm sure it's for good reason.

I think Jay would have been a lot greater than he became if he didn't peak in Ronnie's era, cause that's where things went wrong for him - he was great around 2001 when he weighed around 250 lb, but he started chasing size at the expense of everything else to be competitive with Ronnie and the results made his waist grow, skin become thick and lose the shape that he had at his peak.

That last back shot is right before the 08 Olympia. Looks like he was doing everything right and screwed up at the very end. He should try to compete around 250....he's only 5'8 or 9, so that is plenty of size...especially compared to Dex or Phil

Anyone know what the heaviest Jay compete at was? I guessing it was 06 or 07

Is he flexing his chest there? I don't see striations.

Why is there no separation between the brachialis and the biceps?

Theres so many questions about Jay's physique that go unanswered. Why does he get a free pass when it comes to conditioning? Why does he come on stage and we can't see separation between muscles? Is he trying to come in 'full'? Is 275lbs actually what he should come in on stage at?

When he dropped 20lbs of water between the pre judging and night show at the 2008 Olympia he looked his best imho. He needs to stop coming in "full" and get dry for fucks sake this is pro bodybuilding. Look at the 90s nobody was coming in soft and placing top 5. Lets see some fuckin muscle tissue for fucks sake no more blobs...

Its posts like this that will kill bodybuilders ..nobody needs to be a saltine cracker on stage

This shot of Jay is one of the best bodybuilding pics ever. This year's O would be no contest if he could duplicate this form.
Simply insane how wide, full, and conditioned he is.

Did he lose the WOW factor by simply playing the size game? Insulin abuse? Less Diuretics? It's too bad that Jay, Ronnie, and Doz all regressed so dramatically as Mr. Os

I hope he comes in similarly this year and shuts everyone up! Jay takes a lot of criticism - albeit deserved that last 2 years - but when he nails it (and if he nails it this year), he is the best current pro w/out question.

His midsection makes him look a million times better in the older photos.

Debussey's neighbor Cockroach Navier-Stokes was asking for you. He said it had something to do with him being horny in the bathtub and gases coming from his ass.

People have been saying that for the past 5 years, give it up already.

This puts into perspective just how big Jay is!

Jay won it outright in 2006. Also, he appeared to have matched his 2001 conditioning just before the 08 contest (see below), but obviously came in off. I predict he will clean house this year, assuming he learned from whatever mistake he made last year in his last minute prep.
