johnnie jackson doesnt have the structure needed to compete in the IFBB
he's muscles are big and full and he's great at lifting waits but simply too stocky
plus he's never really quit grainy enough on contest day

He has the structure, just not the condition and never has legs.

Yea, I'd say it's just his condition that's really been lacking and holding him back

He was only competing to "qualify" for the mr O liftoff.. So has to do One comp to qualify and now hes done it, =)

I would assume thats the case.

Looked his best in 01 nationals like many do before turning pro, tried to play the size game, should have worked on conditioning and stayed at a lower bodyweight.

Wonder why he can't duplicate that conditioning

Hard to say, I'm no expert, but age?? The amount of drugs/Gh insulin, high dosages ingested over the years took a toll on the body? Same with a lot of pros before they were pros, looked thier best when amat. and when they turned pro, upped everything and played the size game and completely fucked up thier physique.

Johnnie had a very good physique that had the potential to do a lot of damage on the pro stage.

What's up with JJ?
« Reply #14 on: February 21, 2010, 04:04:54 PM »
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.

Probably doesn't care, like I said in the other thread he a long with many pros tried to play the size game and screwed up his physique. Looked his best at the nationals in 01, but that was it. Needed to work on his conditioning more cause he is not a tall person, plus his structure isn't made to carry the weight he is packing on. I say about 210 or 218 he would look really good. Like a Flex Wheeler he looks good at a lower bodyweight.

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.

Yeah, but Flex could get away with that, and still win. Its not like JJ is winning contests left-and-right. He really shouldn't consider any competition a trial run.
