News:


From Madmax on MD

BREAKING NEWS!!!! JAY AND CHRIS ACETO RE TEAM FOR 2013 OLYMPIA!

Yes! It's just been made official that Jay and his very first prep adviser Chris Aceto will team up once more just like the old days for the upcoming Olympia. Chris is the one who got Jay to turn Pro all the way to winning his 1st Olympia. Even thou they stopped working together for a bit, they always remained friends and in constant contact. Now Jay will come full circle and most likely finish his career the way he started, with his friend Chris.Jay says "I'm going back old school" Jay has full confidence in Chris's ability to get him where he needs to be to win the title once more and I think the trust that he has in him is justified, since even though they have not worked together in a few years, Aceto has always been a big supporter of Jay's in any interviews or radio show he ever did. He believes in Jay and that's what Jay needs.Good luck to the new/old partnership, I can't wait to see what happens!!!

Big Ramy 10 weeks out! Holy shieeet! In my opinion if he would come in better conditioned than the NY Pro show, he will be in the top 3.

oh and btw, he is 315 lbs in these pics lmao!

Cedric McMillan is qualified, but not sure if he will do it though. Anyways, here are a few updates, and there is a pic of him, like 2 weeks older where he said he was 290lbs. In the most recent ones, he is 281. Maybe he will actually compete this year.

281 lbs

An older video of Jay from the 16 weeks out mark. Don't know if it's a repost.

Some interesting comparisons from facebook. What do you think? How well will compare Big Ramy to Phil Heath??
