howdy, my name is jay. im from nova scotia, canada. 270-275 lbs. 6'2" i train for strongman.

2 days ago it was my 25th bday. so i thought id make a thread with some pics from early on to present day.

rules sticky said to include some lifts
500 raw squat/565 equiped
585 raw deadlift/705 equiped
405 raw bench
305 log press
405 front squat, belt only
450 lb farmers walkx30 feet *my best event*


these 2 are from 2 weeks after i started "working out" or what i thought was working out. 2 weeks prior to turning 15

220 lb farmers


same year, just after christmas, got my first real bench


my first ever log press after watching WSM on tv



my first truck pull at my first strongman, pulling an antique firetruck 22,000 lbs. 18 years old 2nd place


early on incline bench....


ugly PR logpress of...230...lmao 20 years old

i dieted down once, and only once! it was for lightweight strongman nationals in british columbia. i cut from 255-230.8. i got to 11% body fat. i have much respect for you body builders and what you go through..... some of you guys walk around at less than 11% and i was killin myself to get there lol

nah, jk, lookin solid. Good job.

Awesome transformation, and awesome personality. You look like a ginger version of Bane (that's a compliment).

Cool post. You've done well, gotten strong and big, etc.

Great work!

awesome progress you are looking like a viking! grats!

lmao at the ginger pic!

thanks alot guys!

viking is a good look :P my grand fathers biological father was a big 6'8 man from scottland, his mother was a big women from norway

I may be the only Vix that trolls this forum... I give you big high score!

'preciated :) big HIGH FIVE in return :P

im actually blown a way at a score of 7.7! i looked at a few other threads in here and y'all score 'em hard. thanks!

MARITIME MUSCLE!!!


good job man

EAST COAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

some of the best crowds ive competed infront of were in the island. might be comming up there in november for a powerlifting meet

Nice man, im actually living in NS right now finishing up my degree at X. man the gyms suck in antigonish. you'll kill it in PEI for sure though dude!

never trained in antiganish. buddy of mine just moved to amherst, they started a powerlifting gym there. char town has an awesome gym run by jason mosher attached to his naturally fit suppliment store. its another hardcore place. i saw it a couple days before it opened, we stopped counting 45 lb plates after 100!

and its only about 30 feet wide and 50-60 feet long lmao wicked place, they have some strongman gear there too. and alex wallace has one of the sickest pits ive ever been in up near alberton. i believe its called east side fitness. next time you're home you should check those spots out. jason and alex are really nice guys and pretty strong. PEI will actually host atlantic canada's strongest man next year, in alberton

Great job brother. Very impressive transformation, and it's always nice to see a myriad of pictures spanning many years.

You are a beast

Great Job!

thanks alot guys :)

awesome shoulders

thanks bro :)

Like Hallowed, I'm giving you a big, high score too based on
a) fellow Canadian
b) I've never met an East Coaster that I didn't like
c) Big, brawny men that can pull trucks need big, high scores

Dude that was awesome!! Thanks for sharing!! Great job and mindset. Beast!

Nice! Your THICK!(In a good way).

I gave you an 8. Your strong and look great. If you drop some bodyfat you could actually look like pstianb
avatar.

Jesus, and your only 25! Good work.

lol

thanks alot nibbler :) east coasters definately are a differant breed eh :P

jotenko, thanks bro!

victory, lol thanks to you too man. thick is how i roll lmao i have pretty thick bones and i feel like im only just now starting to really fill out my frame. i definately wasnt meant to be sculpted and statuesque like a bodybuilder. im meant to be a mass monster someday. thick,wide and blocky. no wasp waist here!

I also gace you a high score you came a long way. lookin huge. way to represent the country

thanks for the vote, and the props man!
