You know, I've sat back and read post after post and battle after battle between Jack and lots of others on these boards. I'm trying to figure it out, and Jack sorry for not contacting you personally. Why, why would you draw all this attention to yourself? 6 plates in a cage with the bar beginning at your knees when your bodyweight is what, about 260 lbs. not in shape I may add, your belly is evident right through your sweatshirt. That's just not impressive, I'm sorry. These are the reasons you get picked on and put down when you post all your claims and justifications.
The thing is, i believe Jack, when most people on these boards here the word "pro," they expect a bit more. A bit more physique, a bit more weight and so forth. You've gotten trashed on these boards numerous times, and I must say I don't believe that's right, but maybe you should do a bit more to prevent this. Putting yourself out there is probably not the way to go. You've repeated over and over "One show a career does not make," and I do agree, but again putting yourself out there with less than impressive lifts and a mediocre physique will only keep getting you trashed, especially when to most people on these boards you did not "earn" your pro card.
Sorry, just the way I feel.
