jim is a freind of mine (also a teamsniffy member). i wrapped his knees at the wpo semis and helped him out him for his warm ups and all three comp lifts. he's an inspiration to come back from what he has and he's an old fart too, 40 years old. 1102 squat and a 2400+ total in chicago. he is a physical freak too, a solid 308 at 6'.
what makes him more remarkable is he trains by himself. no other PLers in his area. =0l
his last warm up squat back stage was 1000# straps down and no knee wraps.
and being back stage while he is warming up is not for the faint at heart. he is one intense man. he nearly knocked me down while he was getting psyched up when he pushed me and stated "there aint no gravity in here, the trains comin, the trains comin"
the freak show was on.
heres a pic i have of him. btw thats not me in the pic with him
if you look in the background you can see becca with the blonde hair. she totaled over 2000 at this meet. the dark haired fellow to the right is toni atkins. he won the 220 division at the apf nattys last june and finshed 3rd in the middle wight division at the wpo semis.
