NPC bodybuilder Jason Genova 9/11 workout vid. 2 weeks out from Olympia

[stealth_swimmer]

That was him a year ago ;



If he had started dieting down from there, he would have looked good by now.

Looks like he's lost some muscle judging by this pic as a starting point. He looks really depleted in the vids, almost seems like he looks pale sometimes. Or maybe that's just the lighting? I'm wondering if maybe he restricted calories too much at once in some sort of effort to get lean fast or whatever.

[Zirkon]

yeah I do think Jason is actually trying harder than alot of people think. However u look at it its obvious as fuk hes losing weight/bodyfat.

[transformerchad]

low carb diets really arent the way to go for someone who's brain doesnt work properly as it is, seriously.

lold

This is just so insane how he's actually regressed so much.


I've legit got a strong feeling that some of the 'supplements' he's taken have screwed with his testosterone levels. I seriously doubt this man has taken the proper precautions.

I think the same, he's regressed badly.

Jason's problem IMO is that he doesn't care that much about being a bodybuilder... He cares about being famous. He wants attention, he wants glory, and he wants to be loved. But he's not willing to put in the work. Watch him when he lifts. On almost every set of every exercise, he stops lifting before the bar speed even significantly slows down. It's as if going to or near failure is so difficult for him because the muscular pain and effort required to do so exceed his desire to be a bodybuilder. In some ways he lives and breathes the sport in his passion, and he probably thinks about it every few minutes. But to him it's a fairy tale where you don't have to work hard. Listen to him yell when he's doing side raises with PJ, not even close to failure and yelling in pain. Assuming that Genova is physiologically like the rest of us and doesn't have some sort of condition where going to or near failure is like having your bones broken, then he's simply lost in a world where he wants to achieve his goals without putting in effort.

He himself has said that bodybuilding is just a means to an end. Eventually he wants to get into pro wrestling (do many people still care about pro wrestling? Seems like a 90s thing). A bit like if The Great Khali was 2 feet shorter, white, and autistic.

You feel sorry for him. It's not like he has a career as a high-paid defence attorney in his future.

[JanesLastResort]

There was a long discussion on fb how his "supplementation" actually destroyed him quite a bit. It's not like that's surprising or anything, though.

What does Jason do for a living?

Bags groceries. Carries furinture. Etc.

[SquinkysGhost]

I personally believe his genetics are just that terrible .. you could put him on legit gear n high doses and I still think he'd look similar with the same amount of fat and thick ass skin

Or maybe it's just that he doesn't know how to train and diet.

should go into powerlifting and permabulk

He's too fat (when he is his normal weight) to be a powerlifter and I'm dead serious.

[BigDaddyCoolPR]

This guy isn't "all there" mentally. If he was a normal person, he would've made a lot of improvements by now. But he's not a 100% normal person.

If I was his dad I'd step in and be all like "Stop this BS!"

[sexnews]

I think his dad died

[BigDaddyCoolPR]

Well...if I was his dad, I guess I wouldn't be stepping in, then.

[Gym God]

Entertainment at its finest, but I give him credit for putting himself out there.

[IIISpartacusIII]

I'll be curious as to what the final product looks like now that he's a sponsored athlete and of course what specific excuses everyone will make other than the typical "he's mentally challenged". Far more deserving young, up-and-coming bodybuilders would have made much better use of that sponsorship. What a waste...

The reason for that sponsorship, no matter what anyone else will tell you, was to take advantage of his already large "fan" base. It wasn't just to help out a kid, out of the goodness of their heart.

right 2000 views a vid from a fan base of primarily trolls is a great way to get business.

As they say, any publicity is good publicity.

You know nothing about running a business. I would take the person with an established fanbase (regardless of quality of followers) versus sponsoring a struggling nobody with zero followers.

Exactly!

do you realize how many other people have a better fan base than him that would be MUCH BETTER choices from a business aspect? If PJ can get Jason lean then he is a god for TRAINING not for blackstone. That will help him personally not Blackstone. Jason is lucky if he has even gotten 1 person to use his discount code. Every vid gets a few thousand views. every single one? Why? because its the same exact phucking people watching his vids almost no one new. If you think thats a good buisness strategy to get someone whos fan base has been relatively the same for a while then idk what to tell you

[Groggery]

You're forgetting the exposure from both this section and the misc, every single time a vid of his gets posted.

Not a lot of people might bother with a youtube account, but a lot more see the footage.

I will agree to disagree. However, let me point out one thing. Jason received some supplements, some groceries and some tees in exchange for thousands of views on youtube, this site and various other bodybuilding sites. This isn't some guy on Instagram who gets 100 likes and gets the same deal as Jason did. You see my point?

I am including that in the total view count. Even when the vids are posted on here, the view count is on average the same. The same people watch Jason videos CONSISTENTLY

And Jason isn't a growing star with a growing fan base that will make them more money in the long run. Again, the same people watch his vids everytime, not many new people. They do not get much business from this.

GAT sponsoring Big Ramy is an example of a smart business move.

Not everything in life makes perfect sense, but i will tell you this - there are plenty of people who do charitable things just for the sake of business and reputation.

Almost impossible to prove of course, but if your morals are right, you'll know when it's honest and when it's not.

I know that lol. I am not saying that they are doing it because deep down in the bottom of their heart they decided to help someone in "need" but I don't think they did it expecting to rack in all these sales. Its more of "just do it for the hell of it and see what happens" tyhpe attitude imo

Lol, that's an apples to oranges comparison!!!! Bottom line......what are we discussing? That's right, the supplement company which sponsors JG. Allright, I'm out, I've got to get my pump on.

[jeffasauras]

how could these supps have messed up his test levels that bad? I thought all the decent pro hormones were banned in 2005. i could see if he was riding a bicycle for a solid year, and stopped cold turkey no pct but some otc test boost? really?
