Jay has always been big. If you gusy want to do some digging,there was an article of him on Muscle and Fitness Magazine and it had his picture of him during homecoming and when he used to play HS Football. (4 TOUCHDOWNS IN A SINGLE GAME FTW!) The most impressive photo is when he was fifteen and freaking massive then and he was listing up a picnic table over his head.

I SWEAR TO GOD! LMFAO Im glad someone other than me noticed that besides the hair and the steroids. I was suprised when they actually touched each other to get the front spot. I thought there would be some etiquette rule against touching each other. Completely hilarious though!

Lol. When he was getting ready to do his side tricep, I thought he was going to knock the short guy out of the way.
great nutrition there;)
lol @ the short bastard stepping in front of jay

The difference in conditioning from old videos like that to new stuff always stands out to me.[/quote]
In this case its more of a factor of how young Jay is and not what year it is. Plenty of the top pros of the time were completely shredded. This vid is from 1996, not 1970 [/quote]
LOL!
Yeah, the world SOOOOO different back in the “late great 90’s”. I remember driving around the gym parking lot for hours looking for a place to park my stagecoach.[/quote]
I am aware the video wasn’t from the 70s or anything(although I thought Jay was in his early 40s which would’ve put this at ~90 instead of 96) but I mean, while top pros may have been plenty conditioned at that time the camera panning across that posedown showed a group of guys that definitely weren’t “peeled” by today’s standards of even NPC shows and whatnot. Granted I have no idea what level of show that was, so maybe I’m just comparing it unfairly.
FUNNY JOKES THOUGH LOL KID THINKS THEY HAD DECENT QUALITY VIDEO IN THE 1920S OR SOMETHING WHAT A MORON.
Who is wierd filipino midget he elbows through?

Yes, bodybuilding used to be on ESPN quite often. They used to use it as filler. That means that if they had no listed programming for 30min because a game ran long or something late at night, they would throw on the Mr. Olympia contest or something.
It wasn’t until that baseball nonsense started that suddenly ALL bodybuilding disappeared from the network.
They used to have a show called American Muscle that featured many of the top guys today before they were even well known. That was where I first heard of Kai Greene competing over 225lbs ALL NATURAL…so there goes Casey Butt’s theory.[/quote]
We are lucky in Europe there are two Muscle TV channels: Physique TV and LA Muscle. All the shows, nutrition and training advice etc.

le pop tarte avec le ketsup…
I remember back when I was cleaning dinosaur shit off my moccasins I used to watch BB on abc’s wide world of sports on Saturday afternoons…followed by bowling 
Back then gyms were scarce and they showed BB on TV. Now, gyms are all over the place(in my city anyway) and no BB on TV…?
???
lol we posted the same picture at the same time…crazy
So the before is the black and white? LOL jk. If the black and white is him at 22 years old that is a 7 year difference. I do not know what age he started taking steroids but 7 years is a long ass time to gain to 260lbs+. NOT saying steroids was the only factor that helped him get there but other things such as genetics, nutrition, and hard work goes a long way.

Jay has said in interviews that he grew simply by walking around in the same neighborhood as a gym. Maybe he was greatly exaggerating, who knows. But he’s also said that he doesnt train his legs are hard as possible because they’ll grow too fast and overpower his upperbody
Id bet that if he never lifted weights in his life he’d be much bigger than most people.

Jay looks great there, and anyone that thinks he looks like that solely because of steroids is deluding themselves.[/quote]
Duhh.
May be off topic from thread:
I’ve watched a video on MD of him getting massages on a regular basis and it showed a shot of him getting his legs massaged. It really stuck out at me how big his (and bodybuilder’s) legs really are.
I was going to say him at 15 probably looks bigger than most here. Hell, he destroys me.

His legs were 34" when he was 22 years old. To put that into perspective, my legs aren’t small and measure 31". This dude had legs in contest shape 3 inches bigger at the age of 22.
I have trouble wearing some pants because of my quad size (which is why I have to wear a size 44 waist even though my waist isn’t that big. I don’t see how some of these guys even wear clothes.
Can someone please answer why there was so much hype around Trey Brewer at age 22?I mean,he didn’t look anywhere near as good as Jay does there.Jay completely pisses all over Trey.I’ve never heard of Jay looking like this so young until right now.Puts Trey’s lack of fulfillment of potential to shame.

…because there had been a huge lag in participation by people in that age group over the last 10 years. By focusing on him and others like him, they ushered in the newer era we see now where things are pretty much like they were in the early 90’s as far as names to watch out for.
