I cringe each single time a natty pro is mentioned in that section.. ugh.

Insane

**Barn01** · 05-10-2011, 09:21 PM

Insanely impressive no matter what .... especially if he's natural!

**extremenergy3** · 05-10-2011, 09:23 PM

I went to the same college as him. Met him a couple times. Very nice guy and very strong.

Oh yeah, more from his blog: http://www.jrod123.blogspot.com/

WAT.

Seriously looks like a cartoon character in that first pic.

**Zaneseed** · 05-10-2011, 11:35 PM

Holy arms batman!! And everything else obviously, but I didn't realise how well developed his arms are.

Hopefully this will give hope to people who want to stay natural, without having to think they must resort to drugs to achieve an incredible physique. Though 'incredible' is a matter of perspective, I guess

**FATHER FLEX** · 05-10-2011, 11:45 PM

Going to workout with him any day now actually

Hardy har har :P

Seriously one of my favorite BB's ever, with a character that is proportionate to his physique.

**IronMan2010** · 05-11-2011, 01:01 AM

Natural, or not natural his physique is freaking insane! Absolute beauty!

We want pics

I just saw your weight .. 164lbs .. So not just pics of JRod either! When's the comp?

**bwelch1985** · 07-08-2011, 07:32 PM

J-Rod at the Team U today!

**Slovation** · 07-08-2011, 08:10 PM

Dude has awesome aesthetics and an insane structure. Super sick physique.

**thepacman** · 07-08-2011, 08:10 PM

Kingsley looked phenomenal! Looks like it's between him and J-Rod.

**wrkoutfrq** · 07-09-2011, 04:28 AM

man he looked great at the Team U... when he turned around and hit the BDB: mind=blown!

**ErickStevens** · 07-09-2011, 06:30 AM

J-Rod's side tri = O_o

**devo09** · 07-09-2011, 12:45 PM

does anyone else dislike his posing? He tries to emphasize his shape, but sometimes it looks like he overdoes it and just makes himself look "lanky"

i don't think he's doing himself any favors on the front relaxed. he goes maybe a bit too far on the greek god side there but could look a lot bigger/more menacing hitting it more normally.

Good call Phil!

J-Rod took second in the middleweights to Kingsley Deslorieux.

IFPA pro Panexce Pierre won the light heavies and the overall earning him an IFBB pro card!

Curious to see how this will play out....will he be forced to choose between the organizations now? I'm guessing he will.

**extremenergy3** · 07-09-2011, 06:46 PM

Shaun Clarida participated. Interesting.

I said this to maybe 5 people last night after watching the pre judging video LOL. Dudes transitions and most of the poses he hits are overly awkward.

JEFF HE NEEDS YO HELP ASAP!

Grats to Panex...that's nuts. If I remember correctly he left the WNBF due to a loss to Cordova which turned into a few IFPA Pro wins.....then an IFBB pro card, dayum, props glore. That is nuts.

**xKyle10** · 07-09-2011, 09:20 PM

clarida looked bomb

not really seeing how j-rod lost

VS

one of his stronger poses but only thing i really see he got beat in was crab MM and that is pretty much due to how he displayed it. his front relaxed he got beat in because he didnt really bring his arms up or flare that hard. didnt lean back enough/roll shoulders forward on his RLS so got out-posed but not outmassed in his RLS IMO, just basing that off of how awesome his front latspread looked

winner: http://pics.musculardevelopment.com/...eventcode=1462

j rod: http://pics.musculardevelopment.com/...eventcode=1462

not a fan of his posing either, needs some work and it looks too much like a routine rather than holding mandatories

his crab MM looks pretty awkward in this pic

was reading this thread: http://forums.rxmuscle.com/showthread.php?t=396

dude has some really awkward prep protocol, cuts water from like 5gallons a day to something like 3gallons the day before a show and drops a bunch of water weight
not sure if its still like that since the thread is old and he didnt really update his blog too much this year

regardless, one of my favorite physiques/bbers, would be cool to see him in the ifpa or wnbf though

**WhiteFiberz** · 07-09-2011, 09:42 PM

Does anyone agree that he seems to lose a lot of mass during contest prep? Judging by those offseason pics he should look a lot bigger and fuller.

I think it has to do with how he preps and the fact he does the whole water cutting deal Should hire Berto or Layne and then he could take 1st

Yeah... dunno why he keeps trying to cut down to the middle weights... Looks so much fuller in the opening post...

**bwelch1985** · 07-10-2011, 07:27 AM

He used Laynes peak week methods this year...no crazy water manipulation.

His offseason pictures are taken with very favorable lighting...stage shots are always pretty humbling. I don't believe he's losing any substantial mass.

IMO as great as Jeff looked, Deslorieux was better. His conditioning was nearly as good as JRods and he was significantly thicker. Close call but I definitely agree with the decision.

Interesting, I think he looked better in the 09 stage pics in a few poses

**devo09** · 07-10-2011, 10:23 AM

I can't be the only one who hates how he hits the front double bi....I mean, we get it J-rod, you have great shape. You don't have to stretch out like stretch armstrong to show it off, I think it just makes him look small.
