Got My Pic In Plusa This Month!

[natural-mike]

Bro's ,
Wait to the weekend I'll scan the whole page and any information on Jay.

Jay I have to tip my hat to you, your standing up there along side pretty much some of the Elite Benchers of today, et al Ken Patterson and George Halbert himself.

Credit where its due my friend, I hope they do a Workout of the month on you soon.

Later,

Mike

I'll get back to everybody and let them know where it is, look for it around Saturday morning.

Thanks natural mike. I feel bad cause i only got my opening attempt. In fact my opener is what fucked up my rotator. The only regret is the guy that beat me, is in PLUSA for having one of the greeatest benches of all time at 198. But if i would have gopt my second attempt i would have won an extra 250 dollars. Cause that dude took 3 attempts to just beat my opener. If i was 100% he would never beat me on his best day. Maybe lb for lb but not over all like Kieran Kidder has it. Of course kenny and george would still be were there at. I hit 635 before that meet and because i injured my self (Again) i didnt don my new shirt that would have gotten me 625 plus. I have yet to use my newsest tightest shirt in Comp. So i will unleash that soon but it takes 615 to 625 just to touch. So i will see if it works Jan 20th. I am going to compete (maybe) In the 275's so when the top 100 comes out i will be in 220, 242, and 275. Kinda like the second coming of JM Blakely! 3 classes in one year!

Congrats on the picture. More sincere congrats for just being there in the first place. Elite company indeed. Too bad about the injury. You will get them next time.

I have a question for you. How long after you began powerlifting was it before you posted your first 500 bench?

I did my first meet this past July (2001) and did a 355 bench at 215 in a single ply poly. Immediately after that meet I was bitten by the bug, and went Westside. In the first week of November, I hit 450 in the gym testing out my new double denim, after doing my dynamic effort bench. The next meet in Oklahoma is in March, and I am shooting for 500 on my third attempt. I now weigh about 225 and am 27 years old. I tell you this because I have been trying to figure out what kind of realistic expectations I should be looking for in the next 1-5 years.

Thank you so much for your time.

hey dude it's also in the new powermag(bench nationals)....

Hey brian i hit my 500lb bench 9 months after my first meet. There hit like 410lbs. I weighed 214 and i used a single poly. I hit 450lbs 2 monyths after in my double denim. I could bench 435lbs touch n go before i ever competed but the poly was loose and did nothing. Now my shirts are extreme tight. The big jump you made to 450 will slow down now. Now you must fix the lockout to huge lbs before it goes up. But i hit 450lbs in feb 2000, and in the same shirt i hit 520lbs (my first time over 500) in like Oct. So use your gym time very wisely and be realistic. Dont open too light and waste an attempt, but dont bomb either be smart. It will just come to you. Thats were your gaining experience will come in handy.

Hey the Mann whats up bro? I havent seen anything on my national win. Pl Usa, that i have seen has nothing. I will have to get a copy soon. I dont subscribe to any as of now. Both ran out. Jan i will get both. Any Pics? If so of what? PM me and tell me whats up.
