What's next for Jon De la rosa?
« on: August 06, 2016, 01:25:23 PM »
Dude seems like a nice guy, hot wife but his physique is tired looking.

Tried a stint in Kuwait and despite intense training boatloads of gear, he will likely finish out of top 5 at third tier show.

Time to hang up the thong Jon, you had a good gig going with the elevator repair work....go back to that.

Let's look at this objectively .. Like you said extremely hot ( Swan Delarosa) wife, supplement store that they make a good living at/looked incredible in his pics/posts leading up to the show from Kuwait ... Both doing what they love ... What's he going to " hang it up" to???... To crawl back around greasy old elevators ?!?!... I say keep doing what your doing! ...his life seems pretty good " as is!"

If the camel crew cant grow you then there is pretty much no hope, Jon has to come off and give his receptors a break or just hang them up.

It's a matter of condition with him.

I think I posted the interview where he said they sold the sup store.  

That union job he had/has pays six figures with good retirement.  Guy is massive but short and has trouble bringing detail out.  Not sure what the answer is because he has done better in the past.  Conditioning/separation def needs to improve.

Maybe, just maybe he needs to stop concentrating on size. Melvin Anthony had s problem with condtioning, and Dex went on record and said that Melvin needs to come in lighter due to his structure. Melvin's highest placing at the O was 5th, and he  had a slight gut.

They "sold" the shop, likely was taken off their hands because losing money.

His wife is a smoke show, he should take his union job and support her.

He's done IMO. Maybe go for 212?

Could easily do 212 and keep his elevator repair job.

Do the right thing!!!

Second point, you are not suggesting that he should have stuck with the woman who was by his side when he first started out, Huh?
Jon lacks back detail from what I remember, or the ability to get into condition, so maybe the first thing cannot be helped, but the second can. And maybe the 212s or Classic is the way to go. Even Caprise Murray went to Men's Physique.

He would be too tall for 212, (5'7)

Stan mcquay tried it and didn't work out and moved to classic physique

Most of those guys are stacked at a max height of 5'4/5'5

He should just hang up the thong.

Now doing contest diets???

Elevator repair is a good job, go for it and put bread on the table

His wife posted this. I noticed he doesn't work the social media game very well either.  He disappears and at one point I thought he hung up the thong.

The 0'2 gym people even traveled with him to the show so maybe they will continue to help him. He has a house, wife etc so he has some decisions to make.

He was 5th place.

I think Al Aguste tried the 212s as well, and didn't do so well. Personally think Mr. Second Coming of Lee Priest should try his hand at the open contests. He is the same height as Branch, and better.

Legs came down, no separation, back smaller

You were not winning shows and now fifth in a third tier contest

So you wishing you looked like him is irrelevant

Fact is he has a good paying job repairing elevators and should stick to that

5th place at the Tampa Pro means battling it out for 15th place at the Olympia.

He's not even qualified for O and won't this year (no easier shows left).

Should go for classic or 212, lose weight, get healthier and take his union job.

Has a smoking hot wife and a good family.

Should quit the "dream" and face reality.
