Damn, imagine what he was squatting at 30 after more drugs and years training?
That depends if he continued on with a Strength & power routine,and if his goal / desire was to squat heavier poundages.
Yes must have been over 1000 at his biggest and strongest.
Jay could probably lift a fridge if he put his mind to it
Old school Getbig fridge joke !!
Using his own body as resistance would be mere calisthenics for Jay.
Jay was doing bodybuilding type training at 19.
In a way that's almost like pulling himself up by his own bootstraps.
You know for sure how he was training ?And does bodybuilding training prevent him from going heavier? There are many examples of very strong bodybuilders using heavyweights IIRC one deadlifted 800lbs very close to a Mr Olympia contest.
Also Jay benched 550 lbs for 2 reps, he said it himself. Lou Ferrigno claims he benched 560 lbs, who knows? Hey I'm natty and I can squat over 500 lbs, so these juiced up freaks can't squat 1000 or bench 500??? Right...
