    "10 plates on either side".....for a 2 inch range of motion? At least he is addressing the fact that his quads are holding him back.


    Good range of motion on the hacks though, so at least he knows what a full range of motion is.

    Don Ross (fellow oldheads will recognize the name) encouraged people to focus on their strengths in one of his articles way back when. Not sure if he stated that related to contests, but it would only add to a bodybuilder's freakishness if they actually added to their best bodypart versus beating their head against a wall while achieving zero gains on a weak point.

    Maybe his doing partials? A lot of people do that. Exhausted the muscle, get to a heavy and hard number, rep and then nothing but partials afterward.

    It's always just been crazy how much of a difference there is between his torso and lower half.

    He's been at this a good long time by now, so it's not like he hasn't had time to try different approaches.

    If it's solely a result of genetics, then what are the honest to goodness chances that someone with such amazing genetics for half of their body has such poor (relatively of course) genetics for the other half?

    I always liked JOJ, but as a top to bottom, fully complete bodybuilder, he's always had an uphill battle.

    JoJ is one of the best powerlifter-bodybuilders, & no one has his thickness from chest to back.

    He gives a laundry list of people he's worked with -- Charles Glass, Tom Prince, Milos, Dennis James, Branch Warren. If his quads haven't exploded by now, then...

    Said he's trying overtraining now. Wishing him the best.
